Joey the VNT boosted 205!

[Piggy]

just an idea...one I am going to try...is using two 'Y' piece connectors and using two inline 6mm fuel filters. thus giving 12mm of fuel filter flow

Mmm..

Your doubling the amount of space it has to fill/flow through.

I can see the benefit to two filters, but not sure about splitting a single fuel line into two, then back to one.

Not sure if its a good idea in practice?

Explain your logic.

[Tom]

See I CBA with the hassle of 2 fuel filters and splitters and that.

[Tom]

Changed some clock bulbs today, can see my temp and speed, so now I know if I doing 130 or 140!

[silverzx]

Mmmm.... 205...

[Tom]

Mmmmm rust. Que sandpaper and kurust.



Might stick some primer or something on it later just to slow it down a bit more. Either way it'll need cutting out before mot.

[silverzx]

I have problems in exactly the same area (beneath rear bench) but mine looks a lot worse!

[strictly_perv]

That will pass the MOT as it's not structural but you cannot have the seats in

[kernow_joe]

That's nothing, you should see mine

Thought I'd go take a picture as I was outside

You can see the floor through there

That is supposed to be brake pipe mount....

[Tom]

Hmm I always thought because its next to a seat belt mounting point it would need to be sorted :/

[kernow_joe]

Not if you have no seats in the back then there's no need for rear seat belts

[strictly_perv]

It's an advisory on a MOT 2 years ago, which I removed the seats to get it through and never got round to welding it up. But it will pass.

[bobertmate]

Probably my favourite 205 ever, was sick when max had it, good to see it still about and getting love!

[Tom]

Just done a quick oil and filter change. Sounding alot better now

[Tom]

Transit pump is here, will pull that apart later.

Also got a price for new nozzles 19quid plus the vat, each. So basically 91quid for a set of 4. Can get them slightly cheaper on ebay but i was hoping for 40/50quid a set not twice that!

They are fair crack. Another bullied purchase for me :-P

Think i gave £70 ish for mine from electro diesel(?)

[Tom]

Gearbox is shot. Got a light grinding crunching in all gears except 3rd :/ and when the engines just ticking over it sounds f*cked! Time for hdi box I think! If anyone has one cheap please let me know. Preferably in Cornwall. Only saying this here because I'm restricted with my internet ATM! (Long story)

[Tom]

Box is coming off tomorrow after work, see if its the clutch or not, if its not then i'll be getting a hdi box! If the clutch is f*cked then paddle clutch here we come :p

[Tom]

Box is off.

[Tom]

Well im in a bit of a shit position now. Plan was to buy a hdi box and skint the shit out of myself and get a second hand paddle clutch aswell just whilst its off. But i realised earlier one of my bottom balljoints is properly wanked. And you cant buy them for the 205, you have to buy the whole arm. Which is f*cking expensive.

[darrenjlobb]

You can have that paddle for like 75 quid if you want it Tom, im never going to get around to putting this car back together!

[Tom]

I did take one picture the other day.



Whole job was about an hour and a bit long. Yeah then it took another hour to get damn box to touch the floor. Was wedged between the subframe and the rad. Think i'll be taking some of the front off when i put it back.

[Tom]

Well the wallet has had a proper raping this evening, new lower arms and trackrod ends, smart looking gearbox with new seals and a paddle clutch. Alll on the way this week.

[Piggy]

I gota xud box you can have for free??

[Tom]

I gota xud box you can have for free??

Thats a kind offer my friend But im all sorted now

[Tom]

New wishbones and track rod ends are here. Paddle clutch is sat on the kitchen bench and a flash looking gearbox outside. Now all I need is another car to take it all up to the workshop with!

[procta]

well tom, she is 22 years old.

[Tom]

Today I took a picture.

[Tom]

Back on the road.

[Piggy]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
