[Nimminz]

nice 1 mate, looks good!

[magnumpi]

I love the pac-man stickers

cheers Tom.
theyre not excactly period, but retro enough.

PugMan perhaps

Yeah it's not a Volvo, yes it's French, yes its wwd, yes it's yellow, but i still like it and it's just about retro enough for me

[volvosneverdie]

PugMan perhaps

mega
Genius man. Id never thought of that. Im so getting a sticker made.

Yeah it's not a Volvo, yes it's French, yes its wwd, yes it's yellow, but i still like it and it's just about retro enough for me

Yeah man. Its nowhere near retro status, but "you dont see many of them around anymore" so i recon that scores a few cool points. But not scene points.

[Evoman]

sweet!, do explain what is hybrid it is? gti 19 engine???? say yes please?

I've always wanted a 205 gti, 1.6 or 1.9 id swap one for my glt anyday (sorry) if the insurance was cheap.

They Handle like f*ck, but they do roll just at point you think your fine

Get some pepper pots from the gti love them, or you could be proper gash and get some of those saxo wheels

[Nimminz]

The niceset wheels ever IMO are 205 1.9 GTi speedlines, i have a set on the 206 that my brother is going to be using. Got a set of 14" 9 spoke pug alloys if you want them? bit modern for that like though

[theo2468]

yeah speedlines are so nicee!! one day im going to have to get them re drilled to fit 4x100

[volvosneverdie]

Yeah I do like the gti rims. The 1.6 pepperpots and the speedline jobs but frankly, the steerings heavy enough on skinny 13s. I don't want to go much wider really.

Wheel situation is now sorted. John has sold me a set of allycats on 0% apr. Terms and conditions apply.

I'll pop pics up when they're on.

Then new balljoints.

Then MOT.

Keep yer fingers crossed.

[volvosneverdie]

More newness added. Bottom arms and fully integrated ball joints. For more precise and direct steering win. Slack is for losers.

This is what "Drag Racers" reffer to as a "Wheel Stand"




Please note, do not EVER work under a car that is only supported by a mechanicly suspect jack.
........Unless youre git rock like John and Liam. Whose heeds are unchrushable.

Big Wheel Up!



Sexy colour coded springs.
And some gay legs/feet.



OM NOM NOM!!!





MOT on tues.

Wish the Pac-mobile luck.
Many thanks as always to John and Liam who are propper geezers.

Plans: MOT, Allycats, GSXR carbs, Trip to Bogg Bros, quickrack and a full ss exhaust system. In that order. Over the next ten years.

Going goood

[Evoman]

made your slef a volvo badge in it will banging

[volvosneverdie]

Update.

Mot time.




BOOOOOOO!!!!


Emissions was at 6%. and there was no mixture screw in the carb. At all.
Bit rich then!

Its still returned 34.32mpg one one tank.
Thats pretty good.

Some bulbs, adjustments and carb fiddling/screw hunting later and:





12 months bonus motoring.

Now for some wheels........

Hi mate.
Well done on the MOT.How long did it take to get a retest.
Over here it can take weeks.
Cheers Mark.

Straight after the 1st one Mark. I just said do the work and retest it.
2.5 hours and £60 all in.
They had to steal a mixture screw off an AX GTI carb and do some fiddling, then I was off on my merry way.
Result.

Really should have checked the bulbs before I set off though.
The handbrake did hold the car but only on the last click so I suppose that was arguable really.

No advisories is good news though.

Fail!

As per text mate, good stuff!

I keep forgetting about my poor old jack. I WILL change the oil in it.

So does it run same as without the screw?

French things can be odd sometimes, they can miss essential parts and still function perfectly, however when you add that essential part they go nuts
