	Having not been able to find a Metro without a 1.8 k-series or lots of rust, it looks like myself and my dad have become the next owners of this: cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-PEUGEOT-205-1-4-Road-rally-track-car_W0QQitemZ320115195650QQihZ011QQcategoryZ9859QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem My dad spoke to the guy on the phone last night and he knows his stuff about 205s, is willing to change the head and clutch for us and was generally enthusiastic about it Let the fun commence!

	The idea is that my dad does a couple of trackdays etc this year, and then next year we'll both be doing some hillclimbs and trackdays Adam

	Yeh they do I'll be on the look out for a set of 14" GTi 1.6 wheels now so that we can fit the 185/60 14 Yoko A021-Rs I currently have on the Locost

	Very Cool! Buckets are a bonus too! My brothers frind has restored 2 205 GTI's (one is 1.9 one is Mi16) and he rebuilt the back axle and said it was a completely different handling car after that. All the Best with the hillclimbing. Also id say that engine would take much more abuse than a K-Series

Also id say that engine would take much more abuse than a K-Series Yeh I recon it will. Looking through pug forums it should be up for 130+bhp and 8000rpm! Similar to the engine they put in the 106 Rallye. We're not sure when we're picking it up yet, but we're aiming to head straight to Demon Thieves for a roll cage and some other bits as it's in Wrexham

I got a run in a Hillclimb 106 Rallye (curretnyl leading N.I championship atm) and the 8000rpm rev counter definatly needed more digits.

	Top grammar tips! Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

	penski said: why not fit the rims off the locost too? 4x108 innit? *n Yep, and the right offset, but unfortunately the centre bore on the locost wheels is 64.3 and the centre bore of the peugeot hubs is 65.1 or something (slightly bigger)! They might fit... they might not depending on the tolerances! They would look absolutely mint aswell on there.
