Taylor is too good for the V2 channel. Expand the AACU and give him Taylor Made Cars for classic car restos and mods and whatever he likes. Keep V2 for podcasts and strictly behind the scenes stuff. PLEASE
Taylor is fantastic, such a great chap in front of the camera. His enthusiasm is addictive, and he can walk the walk not just talk. Proper spannering skills and a great presenter. Thanks Taylor.
I like French cars, but French cars don’t like me. Had a Renault 5 turbo, nearly killed me twice, in the end it just emptied my bank account instead. I’ll stick to my mark one Golf GTI
The engine was from the 405 Mi16. Which made 160bhp from its 1.9. I believe in 1988 this was the highest output N/A engine BHP per Litre of any car. It was a bit of a monster. Ahead of a Clio Williams 16v etc.
The thing I noticed is during the drive, there was so much light from the windows coming in, thanks to the thin pillars and full size windows & windshield. It really shows how much visibility is cut off in modern cars with current crash standards making those pillars so thick. I would rather have the visibility and light than the safety and needing cameras installed to compensate for the massive blind spots.
To be honest I understand and get the sentiment... But when sh*t goes south, I will live with my thicker A pillars of modern cars. Back in the day (early 2000s) my then gf had a Rover 100. 10/10 visability, paper thin doors and general sh*t build quality. Bloody terrifying car even back in the day when I was young and "immortal". These days I ride around in a Octavia 3, 2.0 TDI, engine has the poke, is nice on cruise; great on fuel and is slathered in crumple zones & saftey features such as seatbelt pretensioners and airbags for my face and limbs. Thinking back to the Rover 100 where the crumple zone was my knee(s)/femur(s) and I would face plant the steering wheel in any accident; along with the vehicle mostly disintegrating. I will personally accept the reduced light intake and visability, the thicker A pillars of modern cars. Your mileage may vary, be safe out there people 🙃
French engines and ITBs are a match made in heaven, the top floor of heaven... also, It's really nice to see that every single video the CarVertical ad is made for thta video specifically...unless they've turned Alex's voice into AI and it's just fakery, but surely not...
No I think it’s a slightly altered script they probably most likely do it in batches so if they have 4 videos planned to come out idk in December then he’ll do the voiceover for all of them in one day
If you loosen the two nuts holding the gearbox mount to the battery tray you can lever the mount towards the drivers side a small amount, probably enough to give you a bit more master cylinder clearance.
Love the sound of those ITB’s.. I have a 1994 Citroen ZX 16v, just recently finished its rebuild. The engine was rebuilt top to bottom, head ported and polished, and of course I fitted a set of Jenvey throttle bodies on a stand alone ECU. Hub dyno tuned too 190bhp. It’s great fun to drive, and what a soundtrack to listen to doing it! Love the content, can’t wait to see what the Pug makes on the dyno
Love it! I had a 1.9 GTi fitted with a M16 and wanted to but ITBs on as the bay looked way to busy. Uunfortunately, I sold it on instead..... but i have ITBs on my Caterham and twin 40s on my mk1 escort and love the raw! I also had a 1.9 stock grey E reg GTi back in 2005 when i was 18 and loved it, seeing this reminds me of it
I used to convert customers' standard 205s to run the MI16 engine, with a 1.6 gearbox they were frighteningly quick! Great to see you enjoying the hell out of your new car Taylor!
It was the 405 Mi16 Taylor. The engine was also in the Citroen BX GTI 16v, then later when it had to have a cat, grew to 2.0 litres in the last of the 405's as well as the Citroen ZX 16v.
Well done Taylor for another fun packed episode Your the best -- you have brought this channel along way ahead of the others Fun Laughter And even more FUN
My Dad had a 205 back in the day, he bought it from a farmer who just had it stored in a shed. He did some work to it but never to this level, Taylor you build a beast I love it
Crazy fun! But my prediction is 180 HP (not 210-220, that would be crazy)... the noise (with the ITB) , the lightweight (and the rattling) is the fun! I do remember my friends mom had VW polo with 54 HP it was crazy fast :-) and my mom got the 37 HP... It was crazy slow :-) I then inherited that one, and never reach the speed limit on the motorway on straight line... but I did manage to get it 10 Km/h over the speed limit (friend was driving) on a big downward hill.. 🙂 My next car was a Nissan 200SX S13, CA18DET ("shit" tuned to 200 HP from 169'ish) and the ketchup turbo was so much fun... after that car... I got the same one again (with a port polished CA18DET and new turbo and I guess about 230 HP which I was going to finish off with about 300 (ish) HP... but my friend drifted that sort of out of bounce and had to sell it for parts)... the family stuff started to happen and the cars was just a from point a to b transport... sadly...
Taylor is the best, maybe an electrical class is overdue, but he makes me feel like I could be a mechanic. That happy face when he stepped on the throttle is priceless, didn’t see him that happy in a 600hp+ Tesla truck…..
This is what we want!!! Best hot hatch ever made (in my opinion) all be it with a far from standard beating heart, being messed about and thrashed about by one of best YT presenters. Make this video another 15-20 mins longer, put it up against a modern hot hatch for a comparison and we're hitting peak YT 👏
I love Taylor and I'm not even gay, he's a great addition to auto Alex, very intelligent, very funny. And the gri is just perfect, I was born 87 , says it all.
Please please please can Alex get something similar from the 80's/90's, and Rory too - and do a bit of a build off? Similar to the TG Golf/Nova/ whatever James got episode?
remember a mate doing the convertion, Mi16 engine was stupid money, drove a complete BX GTi home for lot less...the entire loom being green cable wasnt fun though
Grate vid Dio it will be funny to see how much power it has lol Taylor is proper funny and his love for car is really shows Also think I profer v2 channel these days vids are more micanical witch I think is the point

Love to see this on the dyno and properly tuned.
Yep. Make it tidy and Dyno it
@da-mazing8500 yeah taylor
Dyno! Dyno!
Make it a prime example (fix all the bodging) then dyno it!
Defo needs a tune 😅

Who doesn’t love a French hot hatch 😍
I prefer a hot french THATCH !!
Ive got a clio... I just wish It had better cup holders and a 6 speed box.
I Don't
Allez the more when it's one of the original young timer
I like French cars, but French cars don’t like me. Had a Renault 5 turbo, nearly killed me twice, in the end it just emptied my bank account instead. I’ll stick to my mark one Golf GTI

Came to say the same thing lol
It was also used in the Citroen BX GTI
I’ve owned more 405 mi16s than are left. Bit embarrassing!
Honda B16 / B18 enters the Chat.
0:32 you mean that you would like to successfully put itbs on a car... talking about the 635csi

Ultimate karma for it

Extremely happy presenters makes extremely happy viewers 🤣🤣
Gordon bennett! Who done these up!😂😂😂
Yay.! The Taylor show is back.!
This needs The full treatment....Full Resto Mod! Get it looking mint, then Dyno it!!!
14:09 I love that it has a little waggly tail of an antenna that you can see through the sunroof. It looks like a joyous little puppy 😂
What a thing 🥖🤌🏻
Please drag race Mark McCann in his 206 1.9 👌
Love this era of cars - way more character than S3s, Golf R's etc.
French engines and ITBs are a match made in heaven, the top floor of heaven...

@wolfey2917 good idea... it's still nice that they taylor it to the topic, even if beforehand
Now that is what it's all about, FUN WITH CARS , Well done Taylor this was brilliant .
If you loosen the two nuts holding the gearbox mount to the battery tray you can lever the mount towards the drivers side a small amount, probably enough to give you a bit more master cylinder clearance.
Taylor is a natural! Brilliant presenter and very knowledgeable and hilarious. Amazing little motor too. More please lads!
Taylor is just such a pleasure to watch - relaxed, intelligent and charismatic!

Put it up against Phil on track with a driver, timed flying lap 👍
The MI 16 engine was in the Peugeot 405
And what a wonderful combo that was 👍🏻
@@MudSluggerBPit really wasn’t, the chassis in the Mi 16 405 was terrible. Tons of power for the day. But that was about it.
Citreon used it in the BX gti too
I know of two 405 mi16 parked up but the owners won’t sell…
They are just rotting away outside 😢
I think this is the car I have been the most excited to continue to see on the AutoAlex Multiverse! Taylor you've found a gem!
Taylor is too funny, please do more on the car it's a great little motor.
Love it! I had a 1.9 GTi fitted with a M16 and wanted to but ITBs on as the bay looked way to busy. Uunfortunately, I sold it on instead..... but i have ITBs on my Caterham and twin 40s on my mk1 escort and love the raw! I also had a 1.9 stock grey E reg GTi back in 2005 when i was 18 and loved it, seeing this reminds me of it
Your faces during the drive was just brilliant!! Definitely Dyno it. I think we all wanna see what it's actually got.
As a young adult in the 90's, this was my favorite car back then. This and the 1.9 Ralley ❤
The UK didn't have a 1.9 rally
The 205 Rallye was a 1.3.
@@Dave106Rallyewell, not here in Denmark. Maybe the 106 Rally was a 1.3...
Rory needs to work on his Marcus Bentley impressions!
I used to convert customers' standard 205s to run the MI16 engine, with a 1.6 gearbox they were frighteningly quick! Great to see you enjoying the hell out of your new car Taylor!
Brilliant job Taylor would be nice e to see this on the dyno along with the 6 series once it back up and running
14:36mins of ear to ear grinning! Those ITB's sounds epic. Genuinely awesome!
It was the 405 Mi16 Taylor. The engine was also in the Citroen BX GTI 16v, then later when it had to have a cat, grew to 2.0 litres in the last of the 405's as well as the Citroen ZX 16v.
We want this type of content 👏🏻
2:43 🚬🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m here for Taylor the gem and Alex’s poor financial decisions
Well done Taylor for another fun packed episode
Your the best -- you have brought this channel along way ahead of the others
Fun
Laughter
And even more FUN
Nice Tesco boxers
😂😂
I wear them too very comfy 😂
You share them? You must be very close friends.
Yes yes and yes 🙌 more Taylor and more cheaper cars please 😊
Taylor is just an ABSOLUTE legend
My Dad had a 205 back in the day, he bought it from a farmer who just had it stored in a shed. He did some work to it but never to this level, Taylor you build a beast I love it
Crazy fun! But my prediction is 180 HP (not 210-220, that would be crazy)... the noise (with the ITB) , the lightweight (and the rattling) is the fun!

Taylor and Rory are hilarious together 😂
The 205 is probably the best hot hatch that ever was
It makes me happy to see you both so happy. Happy car yes!
Any car that makes you smile and laugh like that is a keeper!
Take care of this old lady, there aren't many like her left
Wow this car is brilliant! Sounds actually so freaking good, nice work. Cheers from across the pond!!
I would love extended mechanics videos
Brilliant to see Rory so much happier, keep up the therapy pal, it’s clearly working, all the best 😊
Yes Taylor! Best series you’ve done.
Taylor is the best, maybe an electrical class is overdue, but he makes me feel like I could be a mechanic. That happy face when he stepped on the throttle is priceless, didn’t see him that happy in a 600hp+ Tesla truck…..
Thus series could be one of my favourite, what about putting against a novel and reliving the early 90s
This is what we want!!! Best hot hatch ever made (in my opinion) all be it with a far from standard beating heart, being messed about and thrashed about by one of best YT presenters.

Love these videos, main channel quality for sure!
Taylor.... You need to stop giving me ideas for cars to buy 😂😂😂 your enthusiasm is infectious 😉👍💙
I laughed so hard at this 😂😂😂 The reactions were so pure. Also how long are the gears in that thing?!?!? Close ratio box next mod?
love these videos of taylor just having a laugh and working on the car, not something we see much on the main channel
I love Taylor and I'm not even gay, he's a great addition to auto Alex, very intelligent, very funny. And the gri is just perfect, I was born 87 , says it all.
Love seeing cars from my day, proper no frills hot hatches, well done Taylor thats a wee weapon!, sounds and looks amazing
Zig and Zag off the Big breakfast go for a ride.
I love watching these videos since they feel authentic, funny and fun it’s like wtf is Taylor up to today
Class content as always 💪🏽
V2 video with a happy Taylor as the thumbnail? Yup, that’s an immediate click and watch!
Love a good 205. I loved my 1.0L and that was quite nippy.
Can’t wait to see what it’s reading on the dyno 💪🏻
Thanks for putting a smile on my face, I needed that.
Loving 'The Taylor Channel' . Great fun 👍🏼
Nice but maybe you could have given a little bit more credit to the tattooed guy that apparently made it all work?
Please please please can Alex get something similar from the 80's/90's, and Rory too - and do a bit of a build off? Similar to the TG Golf/Nova/ whatever James got episode?
Yes get it on the dyno!!
405 MI16 we use to get the engines from
My goal in life is to buy a car, fuck around with it, and show it to Taylor for his approval ❤
I love this video!!! And I definitely want to see this car on the dyno!!!❤
You can really tell Rory is enjoying the cinematic side of things more since America.
Gotta love Taylor!
Braaaap! Braaaap! 🎶🎵🎺🙏
Tidy that up, that is one special motor. Love it !
I have 1992 Peugeot 205 with 1.9 diesel engine. THE BEST CAR. So it is very fun to watch anything about those cars :) thank you
Dyno and a cheeky Misha ring lap next year???
Loved the bud guys!
the fact that the blurring of the F-U and you can still hear the King Hell in Taylors reaction, speaks volumes to how much fun hes having
The last few frames “ENGAGE HYPERDRIVE!!!!”
Love Taylor, love the car.
Dyno it
Taylor on top form, love the guy
mi16 originally from a BX gti 16v or a 405 mi16
And the 309 GTI 16v
don't forget the 309 Mi16
remember a mate doing the convertion, Mi16 engine was stupid money, drove a complete BX GTi home for lot less...the entire loom being green cable wasnt fun though
Yes it's an XU9J4 engine but the inlet manifold he took off looks like one from a 306 GTI6 or Xsara VTS.
I was gonna say the 309 cause I’d forgotten about the weapon that was the 405!!
Yes to the dyno
That my favourite car you guys have shown. Absolutely love it. Pure classic, and with ITBs 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Love an old Pug. I always preferred the 309, a really underrated little motor in its day.
Now put a C20XE in an old Nova, you could even fit the C20LET, there's proper kits for them available.
Grate vid
Dio it will be funny to see how much power it has lol
Taylor is proper funny and his love for car is really shows
Also think I profer v2 channel these days vids are more micanical witch I think is the point
Look at that lighting!
I think a trip too Misha is needed🤭
Love the content!❤
A mate of mine had same car . Same engine with set of throttle bodies and cams . Omfg what a sound it made.. awesome work Taylor and beautiful car
i have a similar plug&play itb set for sale for a clio williams. ecu and mapping included.
