Well its getting quiet at the garage now so i decided to drop back onto the 205, first i had to remove the original gear selector from the top of the gearbox and replace it with one from the 205, you would think that would be easy, knock out the pin lift the old arm off and replace with the new, well i had a nightmare, i used a punch to knock the pin out and got the punch stuck, it literally took me a day on and off whilst working to remove it .

Now have it fitted and have all my gears, filled the box with gear oil, and generally just tidied up the wiring (that's a nightmare in itself).

Took me a while but i fitted the horn (finally remembered where it fitted) and then fitted the front bumper (after scrubbing the rear of the bumper clean). Took a while to line it up up, but the difference seeing the car looking like a 205 again is amazing.

Then set about fitting the battery/ecu tray from the 306, had to remove three spot welds from the original 205 battery tray where it normally clamps the battery down and hey presto (not a great fit but will look into it at a later date.

Here's a few photo's, as you can see the scrap gti above it and the heart of it in a 205 .Kind of looks like the engine has fell out and landed in the 205-







All thats left to do now is-

Put all the dash back together.
Sort out the clutch as i am running a gti6 clutch and cable, just need a little less movement on the cable.
Change the master cylinder for a nice shiney new one then bleed the brakes.
A few clips for the side trims on the front.
8mm fuel hose to sort the fuel retun out.
10mm banjo for the feed from the fuel filter.

Thinks thats about it. Has given me a little greif but i think it was worth all the effort as it just looks so good.

Looks great Carl, i wanted to keep the car looking standard but with a six lump in it, i have fitted the diag plug just like you have and in the same place believe it or not. (great minds think a like)

Its nice to sit back and look at what i have done to it, i believe i have just made a great car better.

Is that one with the 306 clocks in etc your track toy, its weird how it all seems to just bolt in and look great.

Well done a few more bits to it today, to be fair a couple of hours more work and it will be completed.

Fitted the coliover suspension to the car, i had initially fitted 306 struts and shocks hoping it would be ok but it made the ride heigh unreal, the coilovers fitted, now sits perfect although seems a little rough on the road-



This is how she looks when lowered on the ground (ignore the masking tape, i seem to have lost the clips to the arches )




Had to go to the pst office and thought i would go in this, first run so all a little unknown, first fault i found was the brakes need bleeding a bit more

But oh my it sure shifts, after i had done my bits and bobs i pulled onto the main road and floored it, i was met with a great induction roar and we just took off, the ride seems a little stiff, i hope this will settle down but other than that it drove great. Scared myself a little when i realised the front indicators werent working.

Few little niggles-

Something in the heater fan motor, makes a noise when switching it on possibly leaves etc.
Sort the brakes, should just need bleeding.
Find some arch clips.
Then just a general check over, oh and sort out why the front indicators dont work.

Carl

I just want the car to sit at a standard height but with the standard 205 suspension, it sat to low so i used the 306 stuff and it sat unbelievaby high.

The coilovers are no great make, i bought them through ebay from a seller in Belgium, he had them up for

Just read this thread from start to finish and it's a fantastic effort!

Bet it's going to be great fun to drive once it's all finished too, it looks great!

Thats the coil overs as they were just fitted, you should have seen how low it was sat at that height . Brake pipes seem fine no rubbing, but i may change them.

All seems good at the minute, just need to sort the little niggles then its going home to be pampered, it needs a good clean as it covered in all sorts of garage dust etc.

Can you not pull the hoses more to the front, nearer the caliper, there just seems to be a big loop at the rear, cant remember mine being like that? The clamp for the hose also seems to be to far round? Your using standard 306 hoses correct? Which is what I have used. Sorry not wanting to tell you what to do


As for the suspension I having a simular debate about what springs to use on my Rallye, I want it standard ride quality but want it to sit lower, I was going to fit 205 front springs so its not too hard but sits lower but now I think it maybe too low.

How far up have you adjusted the coilovers? Dont suppose you took any pics with the 205 springs on and the 306 ones so I can compare?

What master cylinder are you using? if you have got a 205 master cylinder with gti6 calipers your always going to have a spongy pedal with lots of travel. Tou really need to find a 406 2.0 master cylinder, this will imporve the pedal travel loads.

I used to get a probem with long pedal travel in my 205 on the 4 pot Group A Alcon brakes so I used a master cylinder from a 405 which had a larger bore (probably only about 2mm bigger)and added some 2 LB pressure valves in the front brake lines which reduced the flow back to the master cylinder after the brakes had been applied, it firmed up the pedal lovely. I also experimented with adjusting the spiggot that acts on the master cylinder from the brake pedal with varying degrees of success, to start with the pedal was rock solid and felt perfect, a couple of miles later the brakes were jammed on!

Yeah I was on the A1 at the time just about to come off at the roundabout, I nearly burnt the clutch trying to pull the car off and into a layby those Alcon 4 pots with Pagid blues don't give up easily!

I have standard 205 master cylinder with GTi-6 brakes aswell without any pedal travel probs, the brakes are excellent! too good sometimes in the wet as they will lock easily with no ABS!

Mines a K-reg 205 but I took the master cylinder from a F-reg (aswell as the rear beam/discs) as mine was a 1.6 originally
