Silverzx's White 205 1.9 DT XUD

[Carlos182]

Someone local to me on eBay is breaking a white 205. Wi send you the link after I've been to the gym.

[ozonehostile]

Don't break it!

Just put all your shiney bits in my miami 205 like we discussed :-P

[td_dan]

Dont break it mate iv got your bumpers and maybe a headlight here

[silverzx]

After driving it again last night I don't think I'll be breaking it.

It's a good car, I just shouldn't make a habit of crashing it.

Please let me know about bumper/headlight when possible.

[ozonehostile]

New wing and drash on I say

[Chris_90]

Brake it so I can have the stdt clocks and clock loom lol

[td_dan]

Iv got top and bottom bumpers and pass headlight and waiting for a call back abour your wing

i would never try and make a 205 look any decent, unless the shell is an absoloute minter!! you'll be chasing problems round in circles!

Stick with it, keep in sleeper spec; it's almost there get some steelies on i think!

[td_dan]

Now have a wing for you aswell mate

[welshpug]

have you fixed the fuel leak it had? I'm sure it had one when one of the dans had it but I can't remember if they ever fixed that, I think it was the fuel pickup to solid line flexible pipes.

the engine always started on the button though.

Uh fuel leak..? What..? Never seen any stains under the car when I've parked it? Might explain the smokey start up though as glow plugs haven't cured it. Where is this pipe? Under the car at the rear?

[welshpug]

from above the tank under the rear seats, to under the car where it joins the metal pipes that go all the way up to the front.


one way to trace if a leak is causing issues, is to pop the bonnet and pump the priming bulb before you fire it up, you can also do this and listen and look for any leaks on the leakoff pipes, filter and lines etc.

We didn't notice any leaks when we fitted the Bosch.

I'll poke my head under the rear when I get a chance probably Monday.

[Jesskendall123]

Looks good that, deffo keep the sleeper look

[silverzx]

Thanks to Dan for sorting me out a headlight, bumper and wing! Just a shame it's a GTi wing otherwise 10/10! Top guy!

[silverzx]

Painted the upper bumper:



Picture of the GTi wing:



Second replacement headlight, hopefully won't smash this one!



Lower half of bumper, needs a good TCut and wax or possibly paint:



And to top things off the alternator died on the way home tonight (the one that had the f--ked bearing) and also the corner that got hit is making some horrible knocking noises over bumps and under heavy'ish braking.

Fun day ahead tomorrow!

[ozonehostile]

Nice haul!

Bummer about the alternator dying again though, bet you loved that

[Josh_Quant]

wil lookl so much better with colour coded valances imo

[td_dan]

Shouldve took my 205 alternator lol i run the 306 one lol

[silverzx]

So she's parked up looking sorry for herself.

Been stitched up on eBay with the wrong anti roll bar bush.

Ordered one into local motorfactors which I'm collecting tomorrow at 12, hopefully it fits!

Taking it off the road again & claiming tax back (in favour of the Datsun-200).

Will probably be looking to sell/part ex and get a 306DT if anyone's interested.

I'm not 100% decided but I do miss luxuries of a 306 and the availability of parts. Also having a mix match of parts is sometimes annoying as it can take a while to find parts for the girl.

So basically a 306 would be comfier, easier to find parts, more familiar to work on, newer, look better (IMO) and so on..

I'm sure it would be a beast if I continue with it but I don't know if I'm hardcore enough, it is an enthusiasts car, there's no luxuries in it, the seats are comfy but don't hold you well, the car feels retro/old/outdated inside. Don't get me wrong I love the car, just in two minds whether to "upgrade" to a 306 again now I've seen what 205's are about.

[Pugmarshall]

I took my 205 off the road for that Cherry Dturbo I had... Did 8k miles without any trouble and got bored within 10 weeks! Now in a stripped out, broken 106 and I have no regrets.

[maffy]

If you are for breaking the 205 I will take the 11mm Bosch setup I dont post here very often, just use the site for info etc. Got a td04 ready to get on the 306 next week and could do with a good pump. 07708547762 if you do decide to sell up.

[silverzx]

This needs a pump, so will put a standard 9mm Bosch on (will have a go at gov modding it first).

And might have a go at chucking the GT2052V on it using the pikey "1-2 inch scaffolding extension / turbo relocation / spacer" method that Ruan used backed in the day along with a flipped VAC can.

OFC the 306 needs to be moved out of the "work shop" and finished but thought I'd give this some love when I can. Mainly it would benefit from a jet wash as it's covered in a fair bit of mold at the moment and is a lovely shade of green.

Mark, your going to be impressed to know that the handbrake appears to be frozen solid.

Anyway, there you have it, if anyone has a 205 GTI body kit (arches, sides, rear bumper) they want to part with then hit me up.

[td_dan]

Iv got the arches, side trim and maybe a bumper but not sure on that

[procta]

what you like sliver, clouting the retro hatch! mind saying that it stud up well! try that in a modern thing and I bet it would have wrote it off.

[silverzx]

Put a 9mm Bosch on and a K14 in preparation for selling. Thanks to MrFish for sorting me a pump pulley nut.

Now after a Bosch fuel feed banjo/Union as mines missing...





So proud I did a pump / cambelt all on my own haha!
