Another great video Ricky, love the fact that your uploads are always entertaining and you feature the coolest of cars. You looked like you had a lot of fun driving this Pug, you can see that you really enjoyed it! I had a 205 Dimma a few years ago, sold it for £900 but hey ho lol 😱
One of my favourite you tubers. Honest, seems approachable and honest with Criticism. Respectful. Loving the old school cars! Keep up the good work Ricky
My first “ fast” car way back in the early 90s and I still remember the look of fear in my mates face as I went over a right hander bridge with lift off oversteer and managed to gather it together before we were both smashed together like sardines in a tin. I’m not scared to say I almost shit myself! 🚗💺 💩
Awesome, loved my 120bhp 205 back in the day, great fun! Any slack in the steering is likely the front lower balljoints, 205's eat them all the time, especially with the heavier engine upfront! Love this, great to see a classic! Nice one Ricky!
Friend used to sell these back in the day, I’ve been in about 30 of em. Couple of points: A good 1.6 feels faster than a rough 1.9. On fresh suspension - Peugeot killed it with the damping, soaks up all the bad roads like a small car shouldn’t and stiff enough for amazing handling. The Mi16 motor, cammed with throttle bodies was the ultimate non turbo way to go in the 90’s, still can’t believe they are just average compared to today’s hatches. If you told me back then a 2020 Golf has 300+BHP and 4WD i would have told you to put the crack pipe down. Great vid 👍
Definitely much more fun driving one of these than being a passenger. I've owned many still have a 1.6 gti a convertible cti and a 309 gti as well. Good to finally see one on the channel
@Matt man you didn't though did you?.. What in your slow over weight astra that handled terribly? Yeah good one.. I used to eat astras gte for breakfast in my td 205 van.. Truth!
Yes Steven!! Was great meeting you and reviewing your pug!! Was an absolute beast to drive haha!! And ricky i bet this was a blast from the pass to drive haha proper drivers car 🙏💯🔥🤙
@@hoodstig just ignore the hate 👍. I've noticed on RUclips the antagonising comments get most of the likes but that's just from other keyboard warriors who use the mouse more to click the like button on their comment than to physically type more hate comments
Aug 87- Jul 88, mine is a Sept 87 F plate. In 87 on the F plate the ph 1.5 came out with the updated dash and tailgate and a few other bits mirrors etc.
When I heard that acceleration I started missing my mi16. She has been standing outside about 3 years waiting for motivation to fix it. Old Peugeots are so beautiful cars.
I had a 309 gti with the mi16 back in 2000...what a car! This 205 in this vid is the best sounding motor you've had on the Channel Ricky 👍 old skool rules keep em coming 👌
Got one in Miami blue , mi16 with the alloy block...I’m in the process of putting a blower on mine, had the throttle bodies on emerald management. You don’t realise how quick they are until you race against someone else with a quick car. Had mine 15 years. 🚙
My first car was a 205 1.1 with 4 gears. 2nd car 205 1.9 diesel turbo. Lowered, GTI 1.9 suspension and brakes, GTI wheels, GTI interior... my pride and joy!
Been there done that,had a Renault turbo also and a fiat strata abarth 130,those were the days when you had full control and loads of feel through the wheel,lightweight cars back then.Miss those days.
A 1.6 GTI was my first car at 18 back in 1999. What a car it was, dispute being a c reg, it was 116 BHP at 16 year old - it absolutely spanked cars at a higher pedigree. Lol
I had a peugeot 208gti for 9 months and I bought a focus st because the wife wanted a 5 door for easier access to get the baby in and out of the car seat. Even though I love my ST, I really do miss the Peugeot. Such an engaging drive and fantastic all round machine
Another good thing about old school raw cars is that you don't need to be going that fast to feel l like you are going fast. When I had 205 's I remember doing 30 mph felt more like 50, 60 felt like 80 lol
A real car. Back in the day I had a drive in a TSR(Tim Stiles Racing) MkI 2.0 turbo golf, think it was about 270 bhp, it really was hard to imagine anything being faster, probably the most drivable car I've ever experienced, I think it weighed about 890KG. The original 205 gti 1.6 was 113 BHP the later 1.9 was 130BHP. The 405 gti Mi16 was 160 BHP standard. The 205 1.9 had non assisted power steering it used to load up real heavy on long sweeper!
I had a 1.6 gti, in 1990, and i hammered it everywhere and it never broke down, surprisingly! In the wet, when it started to understeer, if you lifted off ,and quickly hammered the accelerator pedal, it would go into a slight 4 wheel drift, that you didn’t need to counter-steer into.A lot more twitchy than my dads mkIl golf gti, that he had, at the time. Such a great car.We didn’t have sticky tyres back then, so i wonder what it would feel like on r888s or michelin cup2s. Always fancied buying one , just to reminisce, but stupid money for a good one, now.

“BTEC Racing” is about the most unappealing name for a tuning company, especially if you’re from the UK and know what it means to call something “BTEC” XD
This was his first car? That’s mad I’ve kept hold of my first car (206 1.1) in the hope of turning it into something like this when I’m 30 odd. What a thing to be able to say, you’ve still got your first car
My first car ever was a 1.8 diesel peg 205. Chassis liteeally broken in half dashboard glued together drinking more oild then diesel never change the oil just top it up 🤣! Lastd just over a year and sold it running for 300 euro. Brings back the memories🙏
You should give James a shot in your motor would make a good video. Like the old school still getting hammered an still can blow away new hot hatches clearly 😁
Takes, me back to my younger years 👍. You need to get into a Lancia Delta next! Had a few hot hatches, stock & modified. My 205 Mi16 track car on carbs was my favourite, inc my Lancia Delta. Fond memories Ricky, keep up the great content 👍
There is one of these sat on a driveway round the corner, hasn't moved for years. Not a fan of funny wheel drive cars, but these are one that I would have. Lovely build
Lightweight cars with decent power to weight ratio will always be more appealing than straight BHP wars. Far more enjoyable experience blasting round the B roads than short bursts of speed on the motorway. I miss my Celica T sport so much 😭awesome video mate.
The external sound of an mi16 engine bouncing off the revlimiter really takes some beating. Such a distinctive sound, I have not heard any other french engine sound better. I like this conversion a lot, I've owned an 205 s16 engine on bodies and a 306 rallye. Driving a 208gti at present, but it's all guess work what the cars doing in comparison to the older pugs.
If you're gonna track that, sort out oil surge issues. I had a 178whp mi16 205, exactly the same suspension, tyres, and a plate diff. Best car I've driven. Took mine to track, thought I'd sorted out oil surge, but it still ate its bottom end bearings. Dry sump or nothing! Love seeing this!
@@jamessteventon1018 I got a baffled sump, windage tray, extended oil pick up, and more capacity. Didn't work! Still lost pressure around tight corners, was the death of my bearings! I honestly think dry sump is the only way!
Loved it brought back memories of owning one 22 years ago. Had to sell it because pram wouldn't fit in the BOOT . Exchanged it for a volvo and 2 kids.... Crazy
Brings back memories of my 1.9, with "only" 130bhp it was elastic between corners. I had mine near the end of the 90's and there really wasn't much that could keep with it down a back road. They are phenomenal driving cars 👍
Eibach springs are progressive wound. Hence the smoothness as they are soft on first few coils then when pushed around bend they are using the firmer coils
Yeah bwoy!!! Old is gold !! Like a go cart on steroids!! (Lower the back end) Power to weight is insane (with a few mods green injectors etc lol) Had the 309 Gti an miss it more today than yesterday, Why did I let it go , Famous last words eh !!!

@Az Lean you destroy a 130 hp car with a 182 hp car ? Damn. Mama must be proud.
@Az Lean You realise that your clio is 25 years younger than a 205?

I'm 23 and can appreciate this. My old man had numerous 205 GTI's. Noise is unreal & brings back many memories!
Can you hear the sound of the trumpets 😂 that sounds the absolute business proper drivers car need some more of this on the channel Ricky 👌

13:28 man looks shook🤷♂️
That was my first thought and I laughed, then I thought that maybe he's trying to find the sqeaking you can hear.
My dad used to have a red one back in the day, I remember it being really fast, soo in the future hope to get one for him to continue making memories

Hats off to all the guys who keep these classics on our roads ! Stunning gti
Respect for getting a 205 on the Channel!!! , Love how you mix up the cars , New cars are nice but they don't give that same feeling as the Oldies
You dont know what a real driving experience is all about until you drive one of these flat out
13:29 Im Dead! This clip made my day!
My best bud had a 1.9 gti and I had the 106 rallye. Happy B road days😍😍
When I heard that acceleration I started missing my mi16. She has been standing outside about 3 years waiting for motivation to fix it. Old Peugeots are so beautiful cars.

I have a real soft spot for this car and the yaris mk1 t sport. Both have loads of character. Love them 👍
90’s kid so means this and the Sierra cosworth and the original m3 are my dream cars
Great memories throwing one of these bad boys about👌
Never quite understood why the mirrors used to flash blue a lot 😂😂
You almost know straight away when Ricky loves a car. He's like a car without power steering, instant feedback!
Still got a 405 mi 16. Not many left now. All been robbed of their engines for 205 builds. Nice car 🚗
The 205 GTI was my youth! I had 4 of them
A 1.6 GTI was my first car at 18 back in 1999. What a car it was, dispute being a c reg, it was 116 BHP at 16 year old - it absolutely spanked cars at a higher pedigree. Lol
Love 205s, both my grandparents had one at the same time, so they'll always be special to me
iconic engine sound! my old man had one back in the day . red with white wheels stripped interior was lethal lol... good days
