1991 Peugeot 205 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"A bargain, road legal go-kart"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far the car has been good apart from the few things you would expect of this age:
Brake pads and shoes.
Wheel cylinders.
Brake pipes.
Throttle switch.
Uneven idle.
Indicator stalk.
I'm a mechanic by trade so I have taken care of these problems.
General comments?
The car is nice and in A1 condition, it drives like new and the engine is still sweet even with the high mileage.
I have fitted a performance exhaust, K+N air filter, performance brakes and I lowered the car by 60mm.
It handles superbly and will be even better when I get new 16" alloys with good tyres.
