My first “ fast” car way back in the early 90s and I still remember the look of fear in my mates face as I went over a right hander bridge with lift off oversteer and managed to gather it together before we were both smashed together like sardines in a tin.

[@SpeedingTube]

Awesome, loved my 120bhp 205 back in the day, great fun! Any slack in the steering is likely the front lower balljoints, 205's eat them all the time, especially with the heavier engine upfront! Love this, great to see a classic! Nice one Ricky!

[@corradoracervwvrt8276]

@Matt man you didn't though did you?.. What in your slow over weight astra that handled terribly? Yeah good one.. I used to eat astras gte for breakfast in my td 205 van.. Truth!

[@davespooney8472]

Friend used to sell these back in the day, I’ve been in about 30 of em. Couple of points: A good 1.6 feels faster than a rough 1.9. On fresh suspension - Peugeot killed it with the damping, soaks up all the bad roads like a small car shouldn’t and stiff enough for amazing handling. The Mi16 motor, cammed with throttle bodies was the ultimate non turbo way to go in the 90’s, still can’t believe they are just average compared to today’s hatches. If you told me back then a 2020 Golf has 300+BHP and 4WD i would have told you to put the crack pipe down. Great vid 👍

[@fasteee]

Hats off to all the guys who keep these classics on our roads ! Stunning gti

[@antonoat]

A real car. Back in the day I had a drive in a TSR(Tim Stiles Racing) MkI 2.0 turbo golf, think it was about 270 bhp, it really was hard to imagine anything being faster, probably the most drivable car I've ever experienced, I think it weighed about 890KG. The original 205 gti 1.6 was 113 BHP the later 1.9 was 130BHP. The 405 gti Mi16 was 160 BHP standard. The 205 1.9 had non assisted power steering it used to load up real heavy on long sweeper!

[@Ricky12389]

Owned one of these around 9 years ago... absolute machine

[@dazturner1576]

The external sound of an mi16 engine bouncing off the revlimiter really takes some beating. Such a distinctive sound, I have not heard any other french engine sound better. I like this conversion a lot, I've owned an 205 s16 engine on bodies and a 306 rallye. Driving a 208gti at present, but it's all guess work what the cars doing in comparison to the older pugs.

[@LivingLifeFastLLF]

I grew up with these would love to get out in one

[@kristofevo]

I had a 1.6 gti, in 1990, and i hammered it everywhere and it never broke down, surprisingly! In the wet, when it started to understeer, if you lifted off ,and quickly hammered the accelerator pedal, it would go into a slight 4 wheel drift, that you didn’t need to counter-steer into.A lot more twitchy than my dads mkIl golf gti, that he had, at the time. Such a great car.We didn’t have sticky tyres back then, so i wonder what it would feel like on r888s or michelin cup2s. Always fancied buying one , just to reminisce, but stupid money for a good one, now.

[@xu5144]

Another good thing about old school raw cars is that you don't need to be going that fast to feel l like you are going fast. When I had 205 's I remember doing 30 mph felt more like 50, 60 felt like 80 lol
