if anyone is interested in the build of my car (all done myself at home) then i could put up a basic build thread.

[Ben]

Looks great, I'd be interested to read through a build thread How do you find the extra weight of the 6's engine affected the drive?

[kernow_joe]

looks some build

[Frosty]

Looks awesome, get a build thread going

[silverzx]

Theres plenty of us in the Bristol/Somerset area and we have regular meets almost every month.

Would be good to see you pop down!

[joe1joe]

as the car started as a 1.4 xs (alloy block) and then put a 1.6 16v 106 engine in there so their was a difference in weight then.

i then decided to put the 2 litre in because the 'be' box is alot stronger and, all the suspension changes etc means it handles ALOT better than it did originally.

i would pop along to a meet or two

Lovely 205 mate you need a a filter or induction kit on the end of that tb mate,must make a lovely sucking sound though

[ozonehostile]

Bloody love this! Only car I would consider swapping the 306 for at the moment would be a nicely set up 205

[Tom]

Defo need a build thread with loads of pictures! Looks really awesome

[devils_fuel]

bring it to a southwest meet mate, i'm sure people would love to have a proper look at the car

[Scott]

That looks like a great car! I'd be interested in reading a build thread/write up about what's been done Glad to see that you'll be attending FCS with us!

[306GT30]

Nice!!

get a project topic up sir!

[darrenjlobb]

Looks like tidy clean build,

Whats the setup your using with regard to gear lever / linkage?

[joe1joe]

I have a itg filter on there that picture was before the last few things was sorted out

---

Cant remember what car i got it off, as i had serveral diffrent cable linkage setups off diffrent peugeots and citroens and used the setup which was the correct lengh, but had to modify the bracket on top the gearbox to get it to fit which means the shift is shorter!

[darrenjlobb]

How less precise do you find it using the cables rather than solid linkages? Or no problems at all?

[joe1joe]

There is no play in the gear stick atall, and the shift is far smoother than the original rods even with new rods bushes etc

[Piggy]

looks sweet!

get a project thread up!

[Matt]

Looks good mate. Get a build thread up

[Jimbo]

Yeah as said looks awesome.
Need a build thread

[Stephen]

Very nice!

Needs a 205 gti steering wheel

[Conza]

Would love to read the build thread too, looks like a serious piece of kit all in all.

I'm especially interested in the brake pads and rotors (even calipers) you used and how they've got on, is this a everyday car too?
