Tigz™ Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 (edited) The Loop is dead. I had been down south on Saturday to sell my amps, Obviously I had disconnected my main power feed from the battory. All went well, sold the amps said goodbye to Sarah and drove up 100 miles of motorway without a problem. Got ready to go out, and Ema was giving me a lift to Doncaster, as I was late meeting my mates. The dash lights started flashing, and the engine cut out. Smoke was bellowing from under the bonnet, I looked and every thing was on fire. I tried to put out the flames but was fighting a losing battle as it was getting worse and worse. I told Ema to run, as the flames were now burning everything in sight, and I didnt think I would be able to put it out. A car pulled up and this woman came runnin over with a fire extiuater. Its made a right mess, I got it recovered into VW yesterday, and im just hoping, they cant work out where the fire started. Some good news though, we have managed to buy a new car last night. Dont bloomin' laugh non of ya cos I love my shed, Ive bought a E reg 4 door Pug 205 GT. 1.4 twin carbs, I fooking love it, its so fast, I cant get enough of it, totally orginal, everyone laughs at it, but its got 12 months Tax + Test, and it'll do us till our car is back. So we will still be at festivl!End Result See Here Edited December 3, 2005 by Tigz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I had a 205 XS - which is the 3 door one!85bhp, totally ace. It was the single carb one.There was a trick folk used on the twin carb jobbie - it was putting on a (slightly modified) inlet manifold & carbs from something like the 2.0 MG maistro (this aint a joke!) and it gave you around 95 bhp!Also, the K&N filter on the 205 XS gave a proven +8bhp - it was well documented, as it was a definate power gain. K&N used it in their brochures.R.I.P. the loop tho style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
