Phase 6: Fueling System, Instrumentation & Misc the first part of the Phase 6 story is all about making the fueling system: http://projects.205gtidrivers.com/albums/205mi32-ph6/205Mi32_Ph6_016.thumb.jpg and doing misc work like an oil change, so we could start both engines together! you can fin...

after completing rear engine's electrics and cooling system, we attempt and manage to start the rear engine for the very first time! http://projects.205gtidrivers.com/albums/205mi32-ph5/205Mi32_Ph5_049.thumb.jpg it started fine, with the grease on the exhaust manifold burning off a bit. 205 Mi32 :: ...

in the second part of the Phase 5 story, we continue work on rear engine's coolant system: http://projects.205gtidrivers.com/albums/205mi32-ph5/205Mi32_Ph5_027.thumb.jpg and after testing the wiring and all the sensors, we get the engine started: http://projects.205gtidrivers.com/albums/205mi32-ph5/...

don't think they'll make damage, but it's not a good thing either way.

oh, and i forgot to mention a little detail - you need to remove the cams first!

they have quieten down since (and part of the noise was exhaust manifold related anyway). you can take the rocker cover off, mark the lifters' position, take them out and then apart, thoroughly clean the crap out of them, reassemble, try with your fingers to see if they're efortlessly clicking witho...

Phase 5: Rear Engine Electricity & Cooling this is the first part of the Phase 5 story, where we tackle rear engine's wiring: http://projects.205gtidrivers.com/albums/205mi32-ph5/205Mi32_Ph5_004.thumb.jpg and start plumbing the coolant pipes from the radiator towards the rear engine: http://pro...

after completing front engine's cooling and exhaust systems, we hard-wired an external 405 fuel pump to start the front engine after several months of being out of use... http://projects.205gtidrivers.com/albums/205mi32-ph4/205Mi32_Ph4_040.thumb.jpg it started without problems, apart from expected n...

sorry for the long delay, due to a computer crash, data loss and recovery and system reinstallation on top of having a lot of commercial design work to do! Phase 4: Coolant Radiator & Exhaust System Phase 4 story is all about fitting a large customised radiator: http://projects.205gtidrivers.com...

sorry for the delay, caused by web-access problems. in this update, to conclude the Phase 3 story, we make the dual-gearshift system. http://projects.205gtidrivers.com/albums/205mi32-ph3/205Mi32_Ph3_057.thumb.jpg you can find the 2nd/last part of the story (with 34 pics again) on THIS PAGE . after n...

to stop the offtopics, here's another update ;) :D. Phase 3: Dual Controls & Brakes this is where proper engineering (and problems!) begin and what most of you have been waiting for! :) in this chapter we tackle the dual clutch and dual throttle operation unit: http://projects.205gtidrivers.com/...

ah bugger, just figured out i'd forgotten to upload an important pic:



the clutch plate .


p.s. mortymer> that's such a cool and nice pic!

haha, yes i still have the 1974 GS, thanks for remidning me .

well, it's my father's... he wants to fit a XU5JA engine in it next .

Phase 2: Rear Engine Installation after transporting the car to another workshop, it was time to get our Mi16 engine out of the garage to put it where it belongs and matters the most - in the back of the 205 Mi32 :lol:. http://projects.205gtidrivers.com/albums/205mi32-ph2/205Mi32_Ph2_016.thumb.jpg ...

time for another update folks :). in the third and final episode of Phase 1 series, named "Hit the road, Pug!", our main character gets a lick of paint, some nice bits installed on it, gets back on the ground and leaves the spot cruising on the back of a flat-bed lorry :). http://projects....

hi Vanny :), well when you build a kit car, there's a sheet that shows that it's been built to meet already approved requirements i guess so you only need to do the SVA and MOT test. what we're going to do is get it atested and road-legal based on a fact that this is the first 205 with such a conver...
