hello, nikica. welcome to our club. first of all i would like to say, your project is fu*king insane, but i like it .-)
i am lazy to read all the 27 pages of your story, so could you tell me please what is the max speed of your beast? is there any video which you could post? id like to see and hear it.

[cybernck]

Top speed is limited by standard 1.9 gearboxes, therefore about 235 km/h, I think.

We've not tested the top speed as the car is built for acceleration :D.

did you all of those steps by yourself? i have to see this car on my own.

[pichy]

im not only lazy, but also totally dumb .-) thx

[Mitja]

I looked only at photos, because I don't like long texts : ). It had to be much work, nice . Come to the Czech Republic, all of us would like to see it on our own eyes and test acceleration I think

[cybernck]

If there's a chance, I will come :).

Thanks.

Hello again everybody!

At long last, I've uploaded photos of the remaining two 2007 race events:




402 Street Race - Rijeka (CRO) - 26/Aug/2007




402 Street Race - Banja Luka (BIH) - 08-09/Sep/2007


Another update coming soon! :)

Thanks.

Hello again - here's a prompt update, as promised :).

I've been meaning to create a proper 205 Mi32 website, but whereas I'm still going to make
a "gateway" page for 205Mi32.com, I decided to set up a Facebook fan page, for ease of
maintenance/updating and a more direct contact with people that support the project.

I'm still going to post updates on forums, but I will be delighted to see you become a fan
of 205 Mi32 Project, as I'm currently gathering inspiration to carry on with it. The page
(that won't see updates too often, as you already know :)), can be found here:

Thanks!

Hello everybody! It's time to FINALLY update this topic! Not a great deal of work has been done,
but still there's a thing or two that needs to be shown to the world, starting with the mentioned
2009 205GTIDrivers.com Eurotrip.

It was a 10-day round-trip for 205GTIDrivers.com members from the UK, Holland and Poland,
meeting with people from Austria, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Slovenia and Croatia along the way.
The farthest point of the Eurotrip was in Croatia, on 4th and 5th of May (Pula and Rijeka region),
where I was present with the 205 Mi32.

The feeling of getting recognised, acknowledged and approached nearly everywhere I stopped,
getting loads of thumbs up and flashes on the road, taking people out for passenger rides and
especially finally meeting, chatting and "putting faces to names" of people I've "known" for many
years was, simply put, fabulous! The selection of 205s I had seen was also something to be admired.


Here are a few thumbnail teasers:





And a photo that means a lot to me - 205 Mi32, surrounded by 205GTIDrivers.com members from
several countries. A truly special moment for me! Thanks everybody, you've made it all worthwhile!

Like I said, there hasn't been a great deal of work done on the car over the past couple of years,
but here's a tasty little 2010 update :).


It was time to sort out the suspension on the 205 Mi32, which meant finally fitting GAZ GHA coilovers
with 300 lbs springs and eccentric top mounts, purchased via group buy on 205GTIDrivers.com,
replacing FK coilovers (front) and Koni Sport Adjustables (rear).





I'll let the photos do the talking - http://projects.205gtidrivers.com/205mi32-ph7?page=8


See you soon with a 2011 update! :)

[cybernck]

OK, we're in 2011 now. Wishbones needed replacing due to play in ball joints. However, we opted
to replace the ball joints, instead of complete wishbones.



Usually referred to as impossible to do but there you go. Sadly, I don't have photos of completed
wishbones, but they look just like ordinary wishbones :).


Also, new wheels from the UK! Compomotive MO 7x17" ET15. One of my favourite wheels ever.



They look great on the car and the car looks great with them on :).


We also tidied up the rear end with Phase 2 lights conversion and GTI 1.9 rear quarter panel badges.



Ready for a trip to Rijeka (CRO), to meet up with 205 enthusiasts from french-classics.de!

Next update will bring up photos from the trip!

she looks better with phase 2 lights and wheels are the best I've ever seen on dark 205
