I cant belive you have ripped that car to bits, its one of the most clean original 205s I have seen in a long time, fair play though, I am sure it will look oe in the end anyway Big grin

The xsara box I have been told is the same as an mi box which is what I am using and its a good box for road and track use and has a sensible 5th, my old gti6 205 had the 1.6 box and although it was great fun on the b roads and on track it wasnt much fun on long journeys, mine also topped out at 130 at 7.5k rpm.

How long until its supercharged thoough Roll eyes

im going to be running the 1.9 box with LSD, have been told that the MI box would be better with the gti6 lump becasue of the shorter 1st/2nd and longer 4th/5th.
are you changing/uprating the engine mount? if so what ones? i was looking at them group N ones on ebay.


You can go wrong with a set of bbm engine mounts, thats what I am using Big grin

Thanks for all the comments guys (good and bad).

Not much more to up date as i am waiting for some parts to be delivered (sent them away to be made pretty LOL).

Just been messing with the exhaust manifold and this envolved cutting it and making the angle a few degress tighter so hopefully this will clear the bulk head and make it a tidier install, i set about the manifold with a grinder and cut almost through it then bent the manifold down and re welded it back up.

Here are a few pictures so you can understand my dribble.

This is the manifold once the cut and bend down had been applied and then re welded up, i never though about taking a before photo. Crazy




A pic of it fitted to the lump, its angle is slightly tighter to the back of the block-






Should get more of my parts back this week so can continue with the progress, will keep you all updated as the build grows.

Thanks, Carl

That's a good way of getting around the clearance issue's Carl. Most people usually tilt the engine slightly by extending the bottom fork, looks like less of a bodge

Doesn't look as difficult as I thought it would be either

I did read it but why is it being moved out of the way of the bulk head? Ours is miles away.

It's not in yours is it? haha. The 205 is a fair bit tighter that the 306 bay, especially at the back

Ahhh sorry! That Dimma is amazing btw. On standard mounts, the manifold touches the bulkhead at the start of the exhaust tunnel.

Well got my shiney bits back so i can put a bit more of it back together-

rocker cover and cam carriers-



Varoius brackets re painted black, heres one of them-



Exhaust manifold heat sheild-



Here's all the bits fitted to the engine, made up with them as they fit so well and look better than new-






Well thats the engine coming along nicely, just waiting for a few more bits to arrive so i changed my engine for the gearbox and stripped down a five speed Citroen Xsara box and checked it over, it looks really good and considering its done over 100k has no real marks to it at all.

Thinking about sending the casing off to be powder coatedCool

Box of bits LOL

That engine is looking very nice mate! Where did you send the bits off for painting? The covers and inlet looks super sexy

Just reminded me seeing the coilpacks, don't know whether you've thought about the rev counter yet but Spiky on the 205gtidrivers sells conversion looms for

Arse Razz

...But yeah, true. I heard a few people had problems with that, sounds pretty much straight forward though

Thanks for the offer but if you bridge a diode out on the back off the clocks that sorts it out too or you can remove it so i am told.

I will go with that option as its the cheapest and easiest (need to save some money somewhereUnsure)

Thanks for the heads up though.

I sent the parts off to a local friend of mine who does alot of bits and bobs like this for his quad company, he doesnt like me much when i turn up with all these bits and pieces, lets see what he has to say when i go next with the brake servo, subframe, lower arms and the anti roll bar, plus more which i find on the way no doubtLOL
