Mileage: 119000
Tax: 0 / 6 / 12... (at extra cost)
MOT: 7 Months
Location: Near newbury, Berks
Price: £1000
Additional Information:
I prepared this car two years ago to use as an introduction to speed events, am now moving on to a bike engined Seven so unfortunately have to sell.
The base car is a 1989 Peugeot 205 Roland Garros, the same spec as a 205 XS but originally came with electric windows and leather seats.
For those not to up on 205s, its a 1360cc all aluminium engine that made 85bhp from the factory, mated to a close ratio 5-speed gearbox. This means that it wasnt far off the performance of the 1.6 GTi in real terms. This one has been modified with....
Suspension:
Spax -30 springs
Spax Adjustable Dampers
Modified GTi Subframe
Polybushed 309 Wishbones
Group N top mounts
17mm GTi front ARB
19mm (GTi) Torsion Bars
24mm rear ARB (16mm ARB included)
Group N solid Beam mounts
Steering:
PAS steering rack (quicker than standard)
Brakes:
1.6 GTi front Calipers
1.9 GTi vented front discs
New copper lines, single rear line through car
Goodridge braided brake lines
Engine:
TI Motorsport Group N engine mounts
Pipercross air filter
K&N Carb jet (not sure on size)
Straight through centre section
Selection of rear silencers (standard, GTI, Magnex or Powerflow)
Internal copper fuel line
Transmission:
New Ferrodo clutch less than 1000 miles ago
Rose jointed gear linkage
Quick shift gear lever
TI Motorsport gearbox steady bar
Interior:
OMP 10pt bolt in roll cage (not 6pt as previously stated!)
Ektor bucket seats
4 point harnesses
Rear mounted battery in sealed box
Battery Isolator switch
Exterior:
Ali plate bolted over sunroof hole
Polycarbonate side windows
Removeable headlight air intake
Drivers side slider
Number squares
Matt black bonnet
Single wiper conversion
Engine kill switch wire pull
Wheels and Tyres:
Roland Garros alloys with 185/60 road tyres. (white steels available at extra cost).
Sold with 5 months tax, MOT is up at the end of April but can re-MOT.
I have used it for two seasons of hillclimbing as well as trackdays and 12 car rallys and its never let me down! It's been used hard but also looked after well and never abused.
It has performed admirably at various hillcimb venues in the south, including (in 2009) a 55.65 at Prescott, 98.19 at Llandow and 40.47 at Shelsley Walsh (see www.hillclimbandsprint.co.uk/res-detail.asp?Year=2009 to compare times).
It had a fair amount of work done including head gasket and various other things before I bought it.
The bad points are....
Bonnet was replaced at some point in the past and roughly resprayed matt black, which has started to peel.
Heater was removed as it didnt work, which means no demister (on the plus side... less weight!). Can include an electric heater which is pretty good.
Smokes a bit (valve stem seals a bit old and hard, compression excellent on all cylinders).
The perfect way into budget motorsport, cost a few times the asking price to put together in both money and man hours. Don't really want to let it go but space is at a minimum.
I'm sure there's a few things I've missed (will update the ad as I remember them) but feel free to hit me with questions....
EDIT: See s125.photobucket.com/albums/p60/LocoPolo/Pug/ for a pretty much complete picture diary of the build.
