It was a nightmare to tighten the bottom 4 bolts on this one, no room what so ever. I ended up doing it on the ramp in work.

205 gti's a very good cars though, I prefer the 106 but that is pretty obvious, a 205 is just as good though, throw some cash at them and they are amazing cars

I've had an S1 106 Rallye before which is why i have a massive soft spot for them, reading through this isnt helping my decision. Top work, looks a lovely wee car

Its piss easy to put the manifold on during the conversion, as the front end is off. Its once everything is built back up, I had the standard manifold for about 3 days, then got the 4 branch, nightmare when everything is in place.

Fitted the gearknob today. I cut about 1 inch off the threads of the gear stick and put some concrete like bond into the threads of the gearknob and left it to dry for about 10 minutes. I heated the gear stick up then just banged it on over the threads, solid as a rock now and it looks loads better, feels better too.

Nope, nothing was open. The sound quality is bad as I had the camera wedged inbetween the head rest and seat so it was covering the microphone.
