aarontrophy 26 Posted June 26, 2012 sorry for the short start, i was on my iphone and i didnt really have a clue so thought id wait till i got home. my first ever thread this is how i bought my 205 rallye off an old boy who has had it since new. i was so happy when i collected it, because i see it around my area for years always waved and spoke to the guy. i got it home and started having a look over it needed petrol first soon as i got it home the kit was off and lucky me it was only double sided taped on he said there were optional extra from peugeot (not sure if he was correct) since then i have had the wheel painted and had a good polish oil change and centre box taken out:) the car has done 123k and is very solid i am ordering the sticker kit asap. now i have got it looking alot better from when i got it im trying to decide what to do next the seats need doing been quoted 800 for a complete overhaul of the seats i thought it seamed alot, what you guys think or can anyone point me in a good direction im from essex 5 miles out of southend. atm they have seat covers on. i was thinking a 106gti/vts j4 engine i see 1 at FCS show this year with jp4 (i think) on throttle bodies look good i already have a 205 gti turbo so turbo route is out the window or rebuild the standard engine and keep it standard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonXS 30 1 Cars Posted June 26, 2012 nice example, looks like a good one. rebuild the engine, i reckon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aarontrophy 26 Posted June 26, 2012 i was thinking that but with price of the 1.6 16v j4 engine with low miles being cheap and there a good engine. i have a 205 gti that im going to take all the parts off i need so there is a shell there if anyone wants it if i decide to go this route i have being looking at a few threads and have seen that 1.6 gti hubs will be a striaght swap for the rallye hubs and they make the wheel sit out wider am i correct???

aarontrophy 26 Posted June 26, 2012 If I put 1.6 hubs on it will I be able to use 205 gti suspension? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allye 530 3 Cars Posted June 26, 2012 If I put 1.6 hubs on it will I be able to use 205 gti suspension? You can use GTI struts and springs on any 205, its the anti roll bar, drop link, wish bone and sub frame that are different. In using GTI struts the drop link bracket is unused on a TU car.

GeorgeXS 32 Posted June 27, 2012 Keep it standard! Would be a shame to modify such a clean original example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muddatrucker 125 Posted June 28, 2012 Looks so much better with that horrible GTI trim peeled off, I'd say keep original too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveW 6 Posted July 2, 2012 Get 106 rallye wheels for it and ditch the engine as its crap, find an xs engine and box or 1.6 16v it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiniGibbo 142 Posted July 3, 2012 Or don't out ten tonne of iron over the front wheels an fit a ally tu from a 106... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N3VRAM 12 1 Cars Posted July 3, 2012 Get 106 rallye wheels for it and ditch the engine as its crap, find an xs engine and box or 1.6 16v it. I agree with Dave - get the XS engine in there so its a little quicker and maybe change the wheels. Will look great once you've got the stickers on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
