hi guys just bought a 205 with a gti6 engine and noticed its been tilted to allow for the exhaust to fit, just thought i was see if any one knows if this is ok as i no people did this to the mi16 engine and it sometimes starved it of oil.tryed doing a search but didnt seem to be working. any advice? ________________________________________ 178bhp 205gti6¼ mile in 14.2 |

This is one way of getting the engine to clear the brake MC and exhaust to clear the body, but it some say it puts more strain on the shafts. Plus I also think the sump hangs lower, which is not a good thing as it hangs pretty low when at the correct angle.________________________________________ 1992 Onyx Black 205 GTI-62005 Honda S2000 (Sold) 2002 Audi S3 (Sold) 2005 Clio 182 Trophy (sold) |

The RS engine isn't as prone to oil starvation, but ideally you'd need a custom fabricated exhaust mani to allow the engine to sit more upright________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |
