the steering wheel looks a little uncomfortable

205 gti would make a good cheap track car IMO

Yeah ive been looking at a 205 with an Mi16 conversion on ebay which ends this morning ,still not too sure yet though..............

jameswrx said:

might be better to go for a standard one as it'd be easier to source parts as they go wrong. The mi16 probably has a few bespoke parts which may hinder service/repair.

Never thought of that!!

Best be buying another evo then and hopefully i wont break it this time :crackup:

a guy i know had a 205 mi16 cti (soft top) with the 1600 gearbox.

there was no way it would go from a stop start, if you floored it you would just sit there with the tyres smoking. from a rolling start though it was bloody quick.

the only problem he had was the box didnt seem to sit right and he kept blowing them up. gears were also sometimes tough to find. apart from that it was good.

that 1 on ebay looks quite nice.

just make sure the rear wheels arent sitting tucked in at the back

What do you mean by "tucked in at the back"?????

Ahh i see what you mean,does this seem ok??????




""Q: (1) Is the rear end torsion bar suspension the original unit or has it been replaced/modified? Is it still functional or has it seized? (2) Has the car been dyno tested (if so, what was the result)? (3) How many miles have been covered since the conversion? Cheers, paj77

A: (1)The rear suspension is functional and not seized, there is no sign of excessive camber that would indicate a knackered rear beam, it passed an MoT and the previous owner said that it was rebuilt when the Koni suspension was fitted...but I have no proof of this. (2) No - standard engine = standard BHP = fast as f**k (3) Approx 1000 miles and rising (rapidly!!!) ""

cheers,i may have it, i need a spank mobile!!!!!
To save me from killing my next evo when i get one!!

Take it easy.
