The 205 was a limited run so if she goes make sure you get a good price !!

Keep the Golf though as it'll last longer ?;D

More of a 'scene' to follow too - no Peugeot last long enough for one to start !

That's my point Len, you only like 405s so you voted for the 205 cos you thought it said 405 !  :P

Oi cheeky bugga! 405's always start!

What u on about? Thousands of 205 Gti's were made.
Depends which engine. the 1.9 is slightly rarer.
An Mi 16 conv. is even rarer.

The Peugeot Sport Club has over 20,000 members and most popular car is the 205.

Mr Hawkins wasn't saying they don't start he was saying that they don't last long enough (build quality etc) for clubs to start ?;D I think he may have been extracting the urine ?;D

It was a ltd run colour, may get about ?1100-1200 for it if i'm lucky.

Only thing the 405's were good for was for ripping out the Mi engines and sticking them in the 205
Title: Re: Who goes - You decide
Post by: Len on 15 September 2004, 12:39
I know, just thought i'd rise to the bait!

But on a serious note - there are still a lot of 205's still going, never saw the attraction myself.

And my 405 is a 1991.
Funny tho the 1992 Gtx is being scrapped!

But once the dizzie is on and its running it's one mean machine, very quick and capable car.......now on the hunt for a 405Mi to be scrapped and sent to its death...

Partly true yes. The Mi 16 has both as standard.
Title: Re: Who goes - You decide

But with the crap dizzie ya cant tune it!  ;D

But in an Mi 16 ya can get 300 bhp easily!  ;D

Course you can tune it, you can easily do headwork and cams with it, or go carbs or TB's

Am I right in thinking the 205 gti would piss all over a 16v? Never raced one,
Title: Re: Who goes - You decide
Post by: marcus123 on 15 September 2004, 13:46
hmmmm, i think the 2051.9GTI would just win.

on the twisties tho i thonk the golf would have it.

are those 1.9GTI's 8 valve ???
Title: Re: Who goes - You decide
Post by: 16v Matt on 15 September 2004, 13:59
Don't know about that mate, I just know they have a reputation as a quick motor.  I think they pretty light though.  I saw top gear once & they reckon they suffer from 'lift off, oversteer' really bad.
Title: Re: Who goes - You decide
Post by: topher on 15 September 2004, 14:13
The earlier ones were 130bhp, later ones 122bhp (loss due to the cat).
In a race, the outcome is obvious.. we all know anything French waves the white flag at the first sign of trouble so you will never lose, they're just too afraid of conflict.
Title: Re: Who goes - You decide
Post by: 16v Matt on 15 September 2004, 14:16
I thought they were more than that. Well I won't be afriad of one again ;D  LOL
Title: Re: Who goes - You decide
Post by: Len on 15 September 2004, 14:19
Yea an 8V. But only about 125 bhp. As against 160bhp in the Mi16

And i'm not selling my 405 keeping it along with my Golf.

The guy has a 205 not a 405.

I only sold my 405 MI16 earlier this year. I love the car and the build quality it top notch. Its the build quality on the 205's that let the side down. As soon as I'm out and about again I will be buying another one. Just because I love Golf's don't mean I can't have a fling with a French woman 8)
Title: Re: Who goes - You decide
Post by: Len on 16 September 2004, 11:59
Yea mate i luv em both.
Mainly drivin the Golf atm coz i'm doing mostly town miles and as the Mi 16 is lowered it dont like humps much. Scrapes the underside, usually the exhaust!
On a long run i prefer the Pug, coz its more comfortable and less noisy. Also handles better!
