    That is tidy as fook i absoloutely love everything about it. I wouldnt bother with a boot installation, just go for speed and strip as much as you can, strut braces, roll cage. Nothing will be able touch you. Heard alot of people put the 1.6 gearbox in those aswell for the extra acceleration

    Lovely car, apart from the grill, not a fan.

    Brilliant cars these though, I had one briefly and had endless fun in it.

    cheers for all the comments people, glad u all like the small touches i have done to it, the milage is at 71k the car has been sat in a garage fr the past 8 years and decided to get it road worthy again and bust out the old skool.

    about stripping it out- i decided i dont want to ruin a nice car with decent interior i want a comfy road car, besides i have the stripped out punt for murkin every one up in hahaha, and only want the boot build for a bit extra weight plus i have no speakers in there at the mo lol

    keep the comments rolling in

    yeh i believe the peugeot 1's are around 160 standard but i kno the citroen made a lighter/ faster mi16 of there own which is the 1 i have, that is as i say a little more gruntier so maybe he has that 1?

    the citroen engine out of the zx and the mi16 are identical, if you use the 1.6 gearbox it will top out at around 125mph, but if you keep the 1900 gearbox, its ratios are for 140+
    just get a chipped ecu after you fit the engine, as these are very revvy

    interior, i would either keep the half leather if you have it, or find a 309 gti goodwood and get the leather from it

    Gotta love the old skool 205! Looks like a tidy example and not ravaged by rot.
    Get a dimma kit on her too!
