Got a 205 myself ,, has a honda K20 in it , otherwise same sort of spec What a little monster it is out on the roads ,, 840kg and 250bhp and 9000rpm , 🔥🔥

I've had 3 including a 205 mi16 that was built by longman. I've been a honda fan last few years but it's my 40th next year.....mi16 on a throttle body looks incredible

[@ppcmagazine]

Never too late to go back. Ben's tempted to after this one 😁

Just kswap a 205 ,, like mine 😜

[@princesssolace4337]

Why wud anyone wanna K Swap LS1 into a 205/405 I got zero clue ..... maybe it's the only engine they know how to work on, broke, limited knowledge who knows .... might as well sell the Peugeot and get a Civic if they love K20/24 so much🙄

[@theautomotivetrainer]

Congrats, you did all the right modifications. I can understand them all. Please keep the car the rest of your life. I really enjoyed this video.

[@ppcmagazine]

22 years and counting. We hope the same!

[@mudachuka12345]

2 cars that the engine sounded amazing. 1.9 mi16 and a Clio 1.8 16v with bonnet bulge.

[@ppcmagazine]

Yup, both have a great roar on full chat 😎

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Nicely timed Lads, I was behind a 205 GTI when I left work today. Great little 205 we have here, as you say perfect for tearing up the lanes.

[@ppcmagazine]

I guess they're all coming out of the garage now the weather has changed for the better (finally)!

[@darrenrussell8980]

Nice, I sprinted a Visa GTi for years, put an Mi16 in that. I also fitted the deeper GTi6 sump and extended the oil pickup. I removed the stock gate and used one of the works pts baffle plates, quite a mad design.

[@jeremywentworth1833]

Never owned 1 but certainly regret it now . Couple of my mates had them infact 1 had at least 6 or 7 from 90ish . My second car at 21 was a 4 years old F reg Astra GTE 16V all 3 of usat the time thought the 16V GTE was the better car . I loved the Red top that much I followed it up with a 2 years old J reg Cavalier GSi 2000 which I adored.The friend that had quite a few 205Gti's also had several 309GTi's a red F reg and a beautiful J reg really dark green similar to BRG ..

[@ppcmagazine]

Sorrento Green! Keep your eyes peeled if you're into that colour 205 😁

[@ATomRileyA]

Pretty much the perfect 205, always loved these.

[@ppcmagazine]

Yup, great car it is!

[@sayerma]

Great work on the engine, stuff that I've always wanted in the 405's I've owned. After having two Mi16's, I'd love to see someone finally have the balls to keep everything just in the 405 instead of killing those cars and shoving it all into 205's. The 405 is a brilliant drive bone stock, and only about 150kg's heavier than a 205.

[@ppcmagazine]

Absolutely! Not many 405s left at all now - or 309s for that matter. They pop up now and again on eBay but rare as hen's teeth these days

[@jl-om8uh]

I have found an Mi16 lemans in a barn. I have the balls 😂. Mine is staying as is and will not be having its heart removed

[@PeterWoodx]

Great stuff. Takes me back to the early 90s and my 205 GTI days, but better! 🙂

Really miss my old one nines, I had a scorpion exhaust that I got cheap as it was built for Ian Tomlinson’s 1.9 rally car and he got rid of it as it failed scrutineering for being too loud. Bonus for me! it turned heads with the noise 😂

Post 2000 .... we swap to a 2.0 16v from a 306 GTi6 with the 6spd manual ... itBs, COP and Haltech Sport standalone .... the 2.0 GTi6 is like the Toyota 4age 20v blacktop 6spd in the AE111 Fun Fact - the 1.6ltr 4age 20v blacktop makes the same power as the 2.0ltr 16v GTi6

8 minutes of talking before even hearing the car really is the wrong way to do the video. In the first 30 seconds of there isn’t a video of it running or at least the sound you’ve lost 80% of your viewers. 🤷‍♂️
