Looking good mate , Ive got a yellow rallye aswell . Dont see many about and yours looks nice .

[Jackman 0]

Very nice, you've done/things I've wanted to do to a Rallye for ages! Probably will one day if I sell my GTi, or maybe do it as a side project!

 

Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks alot mate.

 

I've already gone alot further than i wanted to when i had the car!

 

wowzers! so clean and nice work and choice of parts too.

 

you should just refresh it with a set of new graphics - it will look loads better still!

keep up the good work!

 

Thanks very much mate!

 

I have a new set of stickers sat in my room waiting to be put on

 

Looking good, back end looks like it needs to come down a few mm though?

 

Cheers mate! it's think i lowered it 50mm the first time round, but since the shocks its gone up quite a bit!

 

The handling seems near on perfect at the moment so might leave it for now!

 

Very nice!

Thanks very much mate.

 

I had the only yellow one in the area, until 2 weeks after bringing mine on the road another popped up!

[Guest spaghettifufanu]

Yeah Ive got the only yellow one Ive ever seen in my area . Saying that Ive never seen a white one either .

 

How hard was the engine swap to do ?

[Jackman 0]

There is 2 white ones around here, but they are both owned by the same person so it's not to bad

 

the engine swap wasn't to bad really.

 

The wiring was the part that took my mate the longest, only other slightly tricky bit was the manifold!

[Guest spaghettifufanu]

Would an engine such as an Mi16 be an easier swap to do than a 106 gti . Im just trying to figure out what to put into mine .

[dcc 855]

Saw this car and how it has developed, and its fair to say, Jackman loves it now.

 

Nice little read. This is deffo one of the smartest looking 205's ive seen in south wales.

Its alot prettier than my mess of a car.

 

Spaghetti,

 

He chose the 106 gti engine/vts engine as it is Lighter and smaller than a mi16. Look at the room he has in the engine bay. my mi16 fills the bay on my 205.

Only just seen this thread - spec and car are great!

Any ideas as to how much lighter the iron bock TU is compared to an alloy block Mi16?

Hi Jackman, can U compare your 205 rallye to a 205 Mi16(stock) and say the differences between both cars, if U have this opportunity of course...

DCC above is building a 205 Mi16 and im hoping to have a track day against him soon.

 

Or against any Mi.

 

I'm very intrested to see the difference between the 2!

[welshpug 1,622]

Have you had a chance to weigh the car yet?

 

there's a Standard yellow one a Mile from me sat doing sod all, I think Bowya knows the owner.

[timb1046 1]

car looks great, i wish i had the expertise and money to do somehting of the sort!

[Batfink 201]

off the top of my head they are pretty light in standard form. When our one was weighed with a 309 rear beam and completely stripped out (fibreglass bonnet, polycarb rear quarter windows, coilovers front/rear, cheap bucket seats) it was 750kg with driver.

I haven't as of yet. really would love to! just not sure where i can go to have it done!

 

A few people on another forum have weighed their stripped 106's lately and they seem to be in the low 800KGs.

 

Looking at them i'd say i'm probably just under 800KG.

Thats quite intresting!

 

I really would love to get it weighed.

 

I'm looking into Polycarb windows, Fibreglass bonnet and boot at the moment!

So after a long wait the exhaust finally arrived.

 

So i put it on near enough straight away!

 

And was left with this!

 

 

Sounds spot on to be fair! Gives off that lovely pugsport Rasp i was after!

 

Its blowing a little bit from the manifold in this video but you get the idea!

 

[Quigs 1]

Looking good mate.

 

Sounds nice i'll have to pop down sometime to have a look.

A new mount after i snapped mine. that i need to get grinded and then fit

 

 

And my TI Motorsport Polybushes for my Track Control Arms. I'm guna buy new arms to put them in rather than replacing the old bushes ! I'll also have new ball joints then!

 

 

Also got a Lambda sensor that needs to be fitted at some point!

 

And finally my latest purchase!

 

Also had a friend come down and give it a quick polishing!

 

 

For Christmas i bought myself these beauts!

 

 

Catcam 708's.

 

Won't be fitted till after i have the MOT sorted and i'm booking myself in for a new ECU and mapping for around Feb/April time

Thanks alot mate!

 

Means alot to me that people take time to read it!

 

Hopefully going to order the new Arms tomorrow and get the bushes pressed in and then i can get them fitted!

[pip470 61]

Love it also, its really come on from the begining and is quite a car now. Those bumpy sticks look quite bumpy too, should be nice. Keep it up.

[Slippy 0]

Good work and a good read

[Jrod 7]

You need a non GTI front bumper w/ yellow strip and a better front indicator, would look 100% then.
