Joey the VNT boosted 205!

[Chris_90]

Back on the road.

Was the gearbox ok then?

[Tom]

Well I sorted it. Wasn't what he though but its okay.


Anyway figured a bit more of an update was needed so to clarify what's happened lately. Joey has had:
4 paddle unsprung win clutch
Solid lower engine mount
Xud gearbox
New wishbones
New track rod ends

Had a massive issue on the first drive, it felt like it was going to fall over. Back in the garage and I could see I had some tracking issues. So I tracked it up by eye and its much better now. Going for proper tracking sesh Thursday morning, just won't use it much til then!

[silverzx]

Happy days then!

[Tom]

Yeah I'm not sure if I like the vibrations or not yet. Makes for a very racecar drive. But just sat there on idle you can see the bonnet shaking and it literally hums lol!

[silverzx]

Doesn't sound keen... lol!!

[Tom]

Making a start on the 11mm within the week when the seal kit comes. Then get a cambelt kit and fit it all. Going to clean up and balance a set of injectors aswell, can afford new nozzles so will clean some up and see what happens!

[Tom]

Trackings done! Computer 4 wheel alignment for free isn't bad going! Got a bit much toe out on the drivers side rear wheel which is something to look at one day only a few minutes of a degree so not anything to worry about!

[mr_fish]

how does it drive now?? is it a racecar drive?

[Tom]

Pretty racecary, not fast enough though!

[Tom]

Will have a crappy gopro vid for you all to watch in oooer about 600 f*cking minutes!

[Daniel306]

What rad did you buy?

[Tom]

Just a cheapo off ebay.

[zx_volcane]

vids vids vids

solid lower engine mount too much? I get a bit of vibration good times from group n top and gearbox + the ole rotated oem lower mount.

[Piggy]

Needs a GT2559

[Daniel306]

Il try get a photo of the one i use is made by somthing like "Ordenes", i cant remember the spelling, but its about 60mm thick

[Tom]

My old oem one i hit with a hammer and it fell out, it was shot. This solid lower is cool just my exhaust rattling away that needs to be sorted. Honestly that gt would be epic, but its alot to take on. Especially when this is my only car :/

60mm thick facking hell!

[Ruan]

[Tom]

I just took the grill out and dropped the cooler in there. Page 6 has got pics of the cooler and the pipe routing.

[Tom]

[Chris_90]

Looks good

You thought about clear indicators on the front?

[Piggy]

You thought about clear indicators on the front?

NOOOO!

They go so well with the side indies and stripes...just guna comment how good it looks with amber indies!

[Tom]

Just needs a big box mounted blower...

But thanks guys yep video was shit ino, why people come down here for a holiday Idk!

Not really thought about changing the indicators the orange and the white goes well and keeps with the retro look

[DazzaHDI]

Love this car mate! It's stunning!

+ me and the missus came down to cornwall for an holiday and we loved it apart from when I got a puncture due to a massive rock on the side of a narrow lane! Lol

[strictly_perv]

I put the orange indicators on as like people say it makes it look retro. Joey originally came with clear lenses being a later phase 2 205.

[Tom]

My main priority for looks is get the wheels powdercoated. But power will always come before that so i doubt it will ever happen tbh!
