Bit of fun 205 dt

[td_dan]

Not much gone on unfortunatly due to lack of time and funds, i received an email saying 9 weeks til FCS so thought better crack on and get this updated aswell

got the turbo welded up and back on the car and looks like it clears just fine now


got all the waterpipes mounted up, also the rad as had to make some brackets to mount it up, miles gear linkages also on, then i it was time for switch on again


bit of smoke but its down to the fuelling so will sort it, the happiness was short lived as when i looked underneath there was a puddle of oil i investigated to find i forget to tighten the oil return lol so sorted that.

then fitted the clutch cable up and was perfect for all of 10mins then age took its toll and the fucker snapped lol so now im after a 306 clutch cable to hopefully fit.

also picked up a spare engine for the kangoo - raz to the rescue lol


not many pics im afraid as just trying to crack on but hopefully ill get another vid of it running under it own steam net weekend as iv got sunday off again

oh and a big thanks to paul (warlord) for his kind donation of his spare hdi gearbox

if someone would like to donate a dt clutch cable or some 266 discs and pads they would be greatfully appreciated just so i can get it rolling

comments as per usual

Right just a quick update, this was running ok til i lost reverse but it was a dubious gearbox anyway and also had some turbo clearance issues.

So whipped the block out and did some fixing if the bulkhead with a hammer also fitted my spare gearbox plus new clutch cable, pur it all back together and got no gears at all so looks like the clutch is fcuked

This weekend ill hopefully get the box off and fit the brand new clutch but still got to sort out fmic, electrics, mot and tax but only got about 3 days between now and fcs so looks like the leon may be coming

Oh on a plus i got a rear half if a safety devices cage for £52 just need to get the front half

[td_dan]

I can only see as far as pugfest at the min mate lol, we will see what hapoens after

[Josh_Quant]

no front ARB?

[td_dan]

Its hanging up iv got to get it powdercoated with my rallye steels

[td_dan]

Well a rare occasion happened, i actually had 3HOURS spare today so seized the opportunity.

Gearbox off, old clutch out, brand new clutch back in, box back on, fluids all topped up and coolant bled then turned the key.

And its running a treat still pops out of reverse but if held in its no probs so can sort that after, now for the rest of the list

Ill post a vid of martin having a play in it later lol

[randomcaller]

Mine always used to pop out of reverse and was hard to get in but got some adjustable linkages off eBay for the 205 and now it's fine

[td_dan]

[td_dan]

Well camshaft has snapped im working round the clock to get it sorted but really cant see this making fcs , just gonna have to concentrate on pugfest

[Poodle]

Bad luck dude, pugfest is blatantly the better show anyway.

[ozonehostile]

Gutted for you man :-(

[Piggy]

Ah crap dood.

Camshaft has SNAPPED though?! How in the hell did you do that?!

[td_dan]

Gonna strip it down tomorow as had to walk away the other day otherwise id of set fire to it

[Piggy]

Know that feeling buddy...crack on though with fresh eyes and a mug of tea...all will be well

[td_dan]

Update




Should hopefully be at pugfest not sure whether to fit the gti kit or rallye arches

Comments welcome

[zx_volcane]

she rides!

[ozonehostile]

Rallye arches ftw, I think they look so much better than the huge strips

[205dtub]

Rallye arches on black and white cars give a very aggressive stance. I got the gti kit for my own only because I think red looks odd with rallye arche.
Awesome car mines in a million pieces aswell so I know how you feel.

Anymore up dates dan?
