1991 Peugeot 205 GTi Mi16 review from UK and Ireland
"1.9 Amazing, 1.9 16v Breathtaking"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gasket on manifold 3 times.
Drive shafts, both sides.
General comments?
The best thing I ever did was to have an Mi16 engine conversion. Although the original 1.9 130 BHP engine was quick, it never quite matched the amazing handling, although it was still quicker than my GTE. The Mi16 engine should have been an original item to turn the 205 into the all time ultimate 160 BHP hot hatch.
