Silverzx's White 205 1.9 DT XUD

[silverzx]

Went and picked my new car up on Saturday.

It's a white 3 door 205 in XLD spec (poverty spec - manual windows, cloth seats etc) with a XUD 1.9DT engine fitted by WelshPug.

Been resprayed recently so body is very good condition, inside is also very clean, a very "retro" feel to the components and dash compared to the 306.

Here's some pictures:

Big list of things to do but should make a change from the 306 which I've had for almost two and a half years now.

Spec list to date (updated 16/01/2015):

Done:
Lower front (40mm 306 springs)
Refurb speedlines
Converted back to standard H4's
Replaced battery
Replace alternator (twice)
Boost gauge
Re-wire radio loom
Junction box for gauges on manual switch
"no smoke, no poke!" sticker
Aero wipers
Oil, oil filter and fuel filter
266mm HDi front brakes + DOT 5.1
Extended speedo cable


Parts Sitting Around:
Rev counter (STDT cluster)
GTI subframe (need wish bones)
Central locking kit

So there we have it, my new coaling machine.

Comments welcome.

[ozonehostile]

love 205s in the first pic, the rear arch looks abit small for the whhel, dunno if its just the angle though....

Whats the plan for getting airflow to the interwarmer? on mine it touches on the bonnet and iv removed the bonnet liner and cooler cowl

[puglove]

Nice!

Proper gutted i was looking at this funds just wouldnt alow and i knew i wasnt going to shoft the DT in time

[td_dan]

lovely car saw it for sale on the 205gtiowners such great car taken and a lovely sleeper

[Dum-Dum]

Thats lush mate, im muchos jealous.

How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

[Sambarker]

I've got a set of clocks from a stdt with rev gauge to fit in my xud 309. If you work out how to wire them up give me a shout! ( I haven't even attempted it yet)

205's seem to be the way forward
saw this up, clean little motor, shame it's 3 door

[silverzx]

Cheers for all the comments guys!

@Daniel306 - No plans, probably will just FMIC it rather then messing around with the TMIC. On that note, would a Xantia manifold fit under the bonnet? Only one way to find out I guess!

@DumDum - How much did you pay for your 2.1 conversion?

@SamBarker - I'll let you know mate. Might end up with an after market counter but well wait and see.

@Puglove - I know the feeling mate but it has a year MOT, more or less standard/unmolested, lots of new parts, couldn't justify NOT getting it lol!

@Ginge - Nothing wrong with 3 doors! 3 doors = track spec, 5 doors = i have kids spec.

Finish uni for Xmas on Friday so going to be spending some good hours on it over the Xmas period!

[puglove]

Think you should just sel it to me after xmas dude

[pugtk]

266 should see enough stoppin power,im pretty much in my honeymoon period with my gti 205 for now,best fwd car ive ever drove and thats been a few

[Stephen]

Fit power steering? f*ck that! It's light enough anyway! More fun to drive without it

I loved driving my 205

@DumDum - How much did you pay for your 2.1 conversion?

LOL, it hurts to add it up. Ill put the total in my thread to save spamming yours.

[Josh_Quant]

Also seen this on 205 forum and from the pictures looks proper mint!

Defo worth doing a stage 1 tune in till you fit the bosch pump makes lot of difference

[silverzx]

Could use a hand fitting my spare bosch to this at some point over next few weeks.

Ruan where are you.

[Frosty]

Looks smart. So is this replacing your 306?

Yes it is, for sale thread has literally just gone up: http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-9255.html

Bit of a shame but 205s are awesome!

[silverzx]

Yeah, looking forward to getting the suspension and brakes sorted on it, always hear good thinks about 205's. Almost as much rave as Integra's!

[silverzx]

Not really a lot to update, the clutch is dead, boost gauge is in, rewired the radio loom and have ordered a switch for it as I had a few problems with the ignition live.

Really looking forward to having a working clutch in it as I haven't even driven the car properly yet!

Comments welcome as always.

Got a rev gauge working yet #pleasesayyesandteachmehow

Haha no I haven't mate.

Will be doing aux belt tomorrow or sunday so I'll measure that up which will be a start for working out what we need to know to use the W terminal I believe?

[Sambarker]

Can't be that hard to wire it up properly. I have a 1998 306 engine in the 309 with the plug from the flywheel sensor thing. And I have some 205 stdt clocks with a rev gauge so surely it's just a case of a 12v, an earth and a feed of some sort? Can't be that hard!!

Trouble is with a universal rev gauge is that it will need to be calibrated with some sort of laser gun or something?

[silverzx]

I would of thought you could wire the tacho sensor from flywheel to the standard STDT clocks which you say you have.

Pretty sure thats how the standard 'STDT' & 'DTURBO' models rev counters work..

[ginge191]

Why not use an aftermarket rev counter?

[Sambarker]

Why not use an aftermarket rev counter?

Cos they're gash. Unless you get one about 100mm with a f*ck off shift light at 6 grand!
