Says the man with the top secret 205 project

Or has that just turned into a Midlife-build?

A rare weekend off means I finally have a bit of time to do something car related. After waiting ages for a decent set of 4 pots to come up for sale I bit the bullet and bought these from pete_rallye.



then two days later a set of AP Racing CP5200 calipers popped up on ebay so snapped them up too



Choosing what size rotor I was going to use would be a difficult decision. As I have 2 sets of Pro Race 2's, 1 set of Pro Race 1.2's and 3 Pro Race 1's all in 15" size and direct fit I wanted to make sure all the alloys fitted over with no problems. I was very tempted to go with 310mm but the TD 1.2's really are p**s poor for clearance compared to the TD 1's and 2's. After much thought I went with a pair of 300x28mm rotors from Hi-Spec as I can run these on a 0 offset bell so wouldn't have any balljoint issues.



Yesterday I knocked up a bell out of 9mm MDF (will be getting them made 8mm thick) so I could do some last minute testing before I get the real bells made. Went down the garage this afternoon to test on the car and I am happy to say it clears the balljoint by a far bit. The rest of the day will be spent finalising the bell design and will look at getting them made over the next few weeks.







and finally a pic of one of the calipers on the kitchen scales with RC6 pads

Well after 14 months of ownership the bas**rd thing is still on axle stands but I do have some updates

Last sunday I took a trip to Nottingham to pick up the 2.1 S16 engine that Doof had for sale on the 205GTiDrivers forum. It made more sense to sell the bits I had gathered for my own engine build to fund this ready built one. By the time I had finished selling parts I had covered the engine, a set of TD Pro 3's and a brand new 106 electric power steering pump

When Sandy Brown mapped the engine it made 180bhp+ atw on a GTi-6 Inlet manifold so I will be hoping for around 200bhp+ atw once I have fitted some throttle bodies I have already sent off a inlet manifold to Mr Satchell and he hopes to have it ready by early next week. Once that arrives I shall place my order for the throttle bodies and other bits.

Of course once I started going down this route there was other parts I would need to sort out to get the full benefit of the setup, namely replacing the crap exhaust manifold which was fitted to the S16 As luck would have it Stuwee had just put his jenveys up for sale on the forum, knowing that his car had a 4-2-1 maniflow ex manifold fitted I pm'd him to see if it was available. A few days later it arrived



I will start updated this thread regularly now as soon as bits start arriving or parts are fitted. I only plan on doing one event this year due to work and thats in September so that gives me 5/6 months to pull my finger out.

During the last few months I have also picked up some bargains off eBay like a TRS Carbon roof vent for a whopping £45 delivered, the cheapest I can find new is £330







and my collection of TD alloys, I think thats a full house!

Well, I thought I'd better wait until your car was ready, otherwise the oil might have gone off by the time you roll it out of the door

My Rallye project thread

I will have a look tomorrow afternoon after work Mei

I need to give the engine bay a clean but it doesn't look to bad at all, I don't think the car has done more than 200 miles in the last three years so that helps

just tried sending you a message Mei but your inbox is full. Am I right in thinking that its the measurements between the stud holes on this that you require?



If so the tops are roughly 70mm and the bottoms are 110mm (that is measuring from the centre of the threaded holes)

if thats not what you need let me know and I will try again tomorrow

After working the last 10 days in a row I finally had a day off to do some work on the car, I got down to the garage to find some scummy bas**rds had dumped the contents of a house right in front of the doors




I phoned the council to report it and did my best to move everything to one side so I could gain access, I wish I never bothered! When I removed the engine a few weeks ago I had a few issues with the solid engine arm and the alloy mount. One problem was that they didn't seem to sit flush together and the other problems was I could not get the bolt out of the alloy mount and get them separated.



My attempts today to get them apart didn't go too well the mount was then stuck in the cradle and had to get a chisel and hammer on it to get it out



So now I need to get a new alloy mount made up, plans to get the engine fitted by the end of the month are now looking pretty slim

there's no thread through the spacer you can see, it was just literally a big spacer with a bolt to pass through to the threaded captive nut. you could probably just put it on a bench drill and get it out or some heat and whack it out

ps bay is tidy as I'd repainted it all!

Great project. Just out if intetest what's the reasoning behind the short trumpets?

inlet is far longer, so shorter trumpets are required, shape is also important, sandy has done a fair bit of testing to figure out the most suitable shapes.
