As much as I like 205s (my first car was a GTi 1.6) I think that was a bad exchange.
But I'm still interested to get some more infos about this one. Mi16, supercharged or something turbo?
Definitely not an exchange! I'm up nearly 10k on taking this back.
Difference is now I have my Sportvan. When I built the 205 I had no money and no other car lol, so it managed to stay on the road every week, despite blowing up 3 tu5j4s.
I gave up and broke it, sold as a bare shell. Bought a huge spec Impreza, didn't gel with it. Then the Clio was bought and the transit came back.
Clios excellent, but l had to be turbod to be competitive with the guys I want to compete with.
205 was never really far away, but couldn't afford the time or cost of the NA engine it needed. It's now a 2.1 XU on bodies.
Lots of weight to be stripped out and the usual OCD approach by me to finish the loom and engine bay.
Should be about 240bhp and 750kg.
I've had about 7 205s. Always loved them. The XL was around the whole time, missed it a lot!
