Another Pug newbie

[Beedee]

Hi

I've got a 1989 205 GTI 1.9, series one, black, 109,000 miles
It was imported from the UK in 1996 (G reg)
I've had it for about 9 years
No aircon, no power steering

Stuff done:
- Rear suspension rebuild incl second hand cross tube and a full rebuild kit from Autofive (good to deal with)
- K&N filter
- New drop links
- Repaint about 6 years ago
- New rear box
- New discs and pads

To do:
- Replace center resonator - tooo loud on the open road
- Sort out rich mixture at idle and thru rev range (AFR = 11.2)

Great car to drive in the weekend.
The wife hates driving it which is just fine by me

Absolutely zeph! Everyone needs to go to the Christchurch Events thread in the Events section and help figure out a date!

Welcome Beedee, good to have another Christchurch member, sounds like you know your stuff (I certainly don't!). Your number plate looks to be SX, which sounds a little like sex, which 205's are almost as good as!

Hi Weezernz

The plate starts with SK. I suppose that stands for 'sick'
Apparently in yoof culture that means good (I wouldn't know being an old geezer).

Took the pug to watch a stage of the Canterbury rally on the weekend.
Had to drive thru 2 fords (great cars too) to get there. When I got back to the car it had 1/2 an inch of snow on the roof. The pug handled it no problem.
Fuel tank and sump are still intact.
