    🐒 I BOUGHT A CRAZY ROAD LEGAL RALLY CAR! NEXT LEVEL PEUGEOT 205 GTI
    Peugeot 205 GTI Info:
    The 1.6 litre GTI was launched in 1984, and came with a XU5J engine, producing 105 PS (77 kW; 104 hp), for the 1987 model year the XU5J received the cylinder head with larger valves thus becoming XU5JA. The new engine was quoted for 115 bhp (86 kW; 117 PS). The 1.9 litre GTI came with an XU9JA engine producing 128 PS (94 kW; 126 hp), although later models with a catalytic converter produce 122 PS (90 kW; 120 hp). Internally these engines are very similar, the main differences on 1.9 litre versions being the longer stroke, oil cooler, and some parts of the fuel injection system. The shorter stroke 1.6 litre engine is famed for being revvy and eager, while the 1.9 litre feels lazier and torquier. Outside the engine bay the main differences between the 1.6 GTI and the 1.9 GTI are half-leather seats (1.9 GTI) vs. cloth seats (1.6 GTI); and disc brakes all-round (1.9 GTI) vs. discs at the front and drum brakes at the back (1.6 GTI); as well as the 14-inch (360 mm) alloy (Speedline SL201) wheels (1.6 GTI) vs. 15-inch (380 mm) (Speedline SL299) alloys (1.9 GTI).
    The 205 is still often treated as a benchmark in group car tests of the newest GTI models or equivalent. Peugeot itself has never truly recreated this success in future GTI models, although they came very close with the highly regarded GTI-6 variant of the Peugeot 306. A cabriolet version of the 205, known as the CJ/CT/CTI, was designed and partially assembled by Pininfarina of Italy. The CTI version offered the same plastic arches and wheels as the 1.6 GTI. Some later models incorporated the catalysed 1.9-litre engine.
    Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9
    The main aesthetic difference between the GTI/CTi versions and other 205 models were the plastic wheel arches and trim, beefier front and rear bumper valances. The shell also underwent some minor changes, including larger wheel arches (to suit the larger wheels on the GTI and CTi), and the suspension was redesigned and sat lower on the GTI with stiffer springs, different wishbones and a drop-linked anti-roll bar.
    With the early success of the 205 GTI in Europe, Motor Trend reported in 1984 that Peugeot was seriously considering adding it to its US lineup, even though Peugeot had a more upmarket image in the United States.[citation needed] Nothing ever came of such rumours, however, and any talk of Peugeot expanding its presence in US became moot when the company was forced to pull out in 1991.
    Sales of the GTI in the United Kingdom in the early 1990s were badly hit by soaring insurance premiums, brought about by high theft and 'joyriding' of cars of this sort. Increasingly stringent emissions regulations meant the 1.6 GTI went out of production in 1992, while the 1.9-litre was sold for a couple more years thanks to re-engineering of the engine to enable it to work properly with a catalytic converter, which dropped power to 122 PS (90 kW; 120 hp).
    In October 2020 Peugeot announced that their heritage brand "l'Aventure Peugeot" would make a factory restoration program for the 205 GTI available in 2021 as part of the company's 210th anniversary celebration.[11] This program is intended to be expanded to other Peugeot (and possibly Citroën) models later, but will begin with the 205 GTI as it is one of the most desirable Peugeot built that is also available in large numbers. The cars will be restored to as-new condition, with certain no longer available parts being made on 3D-printers.
    The styling of the 205 is often thought to be a Pininfarina design, although Gerard Welter claims it is an in-house design; Pininfarina only styled the Cabriolet.[3] It is often credited as the car that turned Peugeot's fortunes around. Before the 205, Peugeot was considered the most conservative of France's "big three" car manufacturers, producing large saloons such as the 504 and 505, although it had entered the modern supermini market in 1973 with the Peugeot 104.

    The xu10 lump is absolutely fabulous in these things, with a set of Jenveys like that it's pure heavenly sound. Satchel shift as well is THE best gear shift you can have in a 205 without going full sequential.
    Get yourself out on the new asphalt rally championship in the UK, that looks like a proper tarmac weapon. You'll need a proper harness bar added to the cage though.
    What suspension is it running? Seen a few turret the rear end but a set of 3 way Riegers are spot on for the rear end

    Stripped caged and quaife diff with bilstien tarmac suspension it was a hoot to drive.
    I think I scared the lad I sold it to when I showed him what it was capable of.

      i had a 208 gti prestige it was that exciting i got shot of it and went back to my 306 d turbo just never felt like you were driving the 208 tbh traction control never turns fully off and the limited boost in 1st and 2nd was kind of pathetic mind you i am a bit of a 306 fanboy lol ive had more fun in the d turbo than i ever did the 208 gti worst car i ever got was 208 gti just never really done it for me i wanted shot of it after 2 weeks lol i think with a intercooler and a big 3076r turbo and a decent diff on it it would be a animal but out the box its just not for me imo.

      @@haydensupra the main issue is the standard waste gate they're a plastic diaphragm an release too easy which I've noticed rather a lot of I should hopefully be getting hold of a GFB diverter valve soon which sorts this out. As for tuning an intercooler, panel filter, exhaust and a remap will see 250bhp but if you want to go further than that then its an engine build and you can see north of 300bhp

      @@scottmartindale2316 yeah i used to be a apprentice tech at pug i think the main things if i ever had another would be the following upgrades.
      the gfb like you have mentioned
      ds2500/yellow stuff pads
      quife diff the traction is terrible imo
      better suspension
      intercooler
      dump valve
      hard pipe kit
      bigger turbo
      bigger exhaust
      the biggest problem is 2nd gear for me in the way they tried to mitigate the wheelspin by limiting the boost till your into 3rd gear 1st gear maybe but 2nd gear should not be boost by gear it really annoyed me that going onto onslips etc.
      do you ever get the dab turning the volume down when you have the heaters on full heat mine used to restrict the volume of the radio if i had the heat up cause the screen got to hot used to make me laugh that design flaw you can either have the heater on full or the tunes up full not both lmao.
      i have also been in the rcz r 275 hp now that thing is more like it it defo puts a smile on your face what a difference swapping that little tiny turbo out for a decent sized unit makes you defo get the punch from that thing that i think the 208 is badly missing.
      the later 2015 models are forged internals from the factory i have seen 350hp plus from them although i would probably just put better forged parts in if i was going to go to that kind of power for peace of mind

    What a car it looks fantastic! I'd like to think all cars have differed a lot from the 80's 90's to the early 20's due to safety requirements so cars will feel heavy & very different from the past & this isn't to do with the manufacturers that's due to the time & safety regulations.
    I currently own a 207 gti 175, the car is a lot of fun! And there rally car 207 s2000 has had a lot of great success on the track winning world rally championships.
    Appreciated this content and would love to see more!
