	Hi all, a friend sent me in the direction. Thought i'd put a few pics of my car up. Is a lightly tweaked 205 gti 1.9. Was completely standard when i first got her, have since fitted coilovers, exhaust, re-furbished the wheels with new rubber and full Group N gear linkage, quickshift and gearstick. Opinions would be great! Isnt faded red, just the sunlight! Oh, and a quick few pics of my last 2 cars. Cheers, Chris.

	That is a very clean car! Unlike mine, Which isn't! Good to have another 205 on here though! And the Golf is very nice too! Welcome

	Thanks for the comments! I've had a few other cars in between, including an almera gti, crx vtec and a corolla gti. might as well stick a few pics of them up too, hope people don't mind. Its just great to find a site with people like me, who don't like chavtastic stuff! The Tipo was fantastic, but needed a bit more shove. Still the best handling car i've owned. don't worry, there driving in the way they were intended too! I'm now moving closer to work, which means the 205 is getting locked up, and maybe an engine swap...... Magnesium rocker cover, only about 15 in the world!

	Am running Gaz coilovers on the front, and Gaz adjustable shocks on the back. If i'm honest i wouldnt fit them again, as they are quite harsh on my local roads. The Tipo is basically an Integrale without a turbo. Has a 2.0 16v engine, around 150bhp. Unfortunately i was under the promise it had 175bhp, blueprinted engine, cams etc. But after further investigation (after i bought it, always the way) they had since been removed. Still had Bilstein suspension, and a beautiful handmade exhaust which sounded fantastic. The wheels are incredably rare, 4 stud Evo 2 integrale wheels. Every Evo Integrale i've seen had 5 stud. Optional Recaro interior, and aftermarket spoiler set it off really well. heres a few pics. I refurbed the wheels myself, quite chuffed with them, despite only using rattle cans. Not a bad collection of cars i've had i think, and i'm only 22. Chris.

	Think its more a case of luck! None of the cars have cost me more than 1500 quid. The Golf was a mere 200!

	Like the 205 much and always fancied a sedicivalvole but they were quite a rare car. Nice collection of cars you've had.

	205 looks very tidy indeed but the Tipo is the one that does it for me! I always wanted one too but never found a decent unthrashed one.
