Nah, that was when it had the rotary in, it was 'only' 250 horsies on the first motor

Just got a present given to me by Aerocatch Rep
It's been a great day ...

Will use these on my twin skin tailgate coming

I'm hoping it will fit like this ?
But on the correct car
But in black GRP not Carbon fibre

Going to have change my Radiator for a much lower one & I have already got my slam panel removed so I will see how it goes ...

Yes pleased with it Jim ......your engine would fit a treat in it

I'm really gutted yours won't be finished ....what sort of money would the complete Engine be ...got flywheel & Clutch & bodies ?
Head Pistons crank cams etc

Please please try & keep it

I'll always buy the Engine off you anyway ..can't afford a 2.2 Sandy engine for 2 years ....

Brilliant news ....that car is a bloody credit to you Jim

Well dare I say it ?
It's going well

Finished all the outside stuff inc fitting the Ajustable ARB drop links & won't be fitting the Maxi Evo 2 Airbox for a while as I want to get some use out of the car this year it's

It's going to need a much shorter radiator possible with a separate expansion tank ?
I've had the car going again today on axle stands for well over an hour & everything appears great ...changed into all gears up & down appears fine ....

Going to start strapping & taping up my stripped dash loom tomorrow & fixing my fuel lines to the passenger tunnel ...

Hopefully my full Fibreglass dash will be ready to collect this Weds ?
I've got the windscreen already out as its (new) & I bought a Pilkington Green Screen without a rain sensor which I wouldn't use & fitted a much smaller rear view mirror ....much better vision without the huge plastic sensor cowling & Windsreen Obs band printed around it .
I may bolt my drivers seat in Tommorow & take her for a little spin

Brilliant I'll look into that ...it's not on my important list yet
Want to get the fibreglass dash flocked & then fitted & tailgate sprayed & fitted ....

I had Oil temp Probs before dumping the Mocal thermostat that was sticking & I now have a full open circuit Mocal NO Thermostat
Was Using 10w/50 millers full syn Nano also ...

Great ...
Is the bottom hose push / clip fit or needs adapting ?
It's a 205 one I'll keep a look out for ....are all models the same ?....
I can get alloy welded no Probs & bits made if needed ....not a issue ....

I would need to change my fan from standard running
Off my DTA also ....more money

Its not a fitting like a 306 uses, just the type where you push the hose over and use a jubilee clip. The bottom mounting is pretty much the ideal location for how the normal bottom hose is routed, you could potentially get away with chopping the push fit fitting off a normal hose then shoving the rubber over, thats what i did for mine, you may need to fettle the front leg holes a little though to ensure the hose can't rub where it goes through.
The top hose comes off on an angled ally tube which aims towards downwards towards the bottom hose ends mounting, which would need chopping off and a fresh bit of tube welding on to aim it towards the thermostat housing. I kept mine with the angled bit as i just ran that into the laminova which sits along the top edge of the radiator, and knocked up a fresh run of coolant hose from the laminova to the thermostat housing area. For mine i sourced an ally hose adapter which mounts to the thermostat housing and gets rid of the normal plastic push fitting thing.
There may be a few pics somewhere in my project thread on how i did it, as im sure i'm describing it pretty badly

Yeah you'd need to change from a standard fan, or make some sort of mounting for one to be used. I can't remember if my pair of slimlines are 10" or 12" off hand, but they fit perfectly. Mine are just cheap ones which carbuildersolutions sell, they're plenty good enough to bring the coolant temps right down when they kick in if im stuck in traffic. Now i have shrouding around the radiator it's plenty good enough to keep the coolant to 90c or less when giving the car abuse on track. As for their reliability, mine have been on 3-4 years and are still going strong.
If you head to a car show where CBS are attending, you may get a better deal on price than online. They'll be at the Stoneleigh kit car show next weekend, really nice and helpful guys whenever i've had dealings with them.

I forgot to mention, the radiator has pins on the bottom much like the 306 ones which fit in the rubber vibration dampers, but their spacing is different to that of a 306 so you will need to drill a new hole in the lower cross member for one of the rubber bobbins to fit in. You'll also need to fabricate some way of holding the top of the radiator in place, i just made an alloy top cross member and used some m6 rubber bobbins to mount it with to help reduce vibration. To do it my way you'd also need to weld a couple of bits of ally to the top of the radiator for the mounting bobbins to screw into. It's all pretty simple to do though.

Well here we go ...
New Radiator bought for a 205gti ....desided to go Nissens because it was under £100 new & local supplier had it

So I'm now looking for a Expansion tank & a way of filling the Rad without using the tiny rad expansion outlet ....maybe put a joiner with a opener in between the 205 top hose ....
Ps I'm going to try & use a GTI to 205 car thermostat conversion now has its 205 rad ...
