Think I've I had to reshell I'd love to put my lump in a 205.
It's got a VTS gearbox out of a Xsara, I've got a D-turbo box to go in now for the longer 5th. It's a good laugh!
6 lump in! It's a tight squeeze, exhaust manifold has to be reangled to save you tilting the whole lot. I took the opportunity to put GTi6 brakes and 406 master cylinder on, I figured more power, more brakes.
I ran this for about 10k and loved every minute. Had a few issues with the starter motor in the summer which I traced down to a 8'' section of solenoid wire out of the fuse box which had about 6 dodgy repairs in it!
For the suspension I'm currently using eibach 30mm progressive springs with 306 Bilstein B4 dampers and 306 rear dampers. Hopefully should have a new beam in the next week or so with uprated ARB and torsion bars.
