Peugeot 205 Lynx Supercharged GTi6 Van

Nothing major at all!
Only minor niggles here and there and the issues with the bodywork - it is slightly tatty / rough around the edges but it is a sleeper and I like the honest look and adds to the surprise and cool factor.

Located Preston LancashireOriginally a van used by a fire brigade for their short journeys on site. Purchased by a very keen and competent amateur mechanic it underwent a total transformation.
Out went the slow and dated original 1. 8L diesel engine and in went a 2. 0L 16 valve petrol engine from a Peugeot 306.
Still not satisfied with the 160bhp a Lynx Power supercharger kit was bolted on , along with intercooler to push the power up to approx 240bhp.
This sort of power in a car weighing this much is something special.
Fast forward to 2021 - when I purchased it.
I felt that the power was not getting transferred well enough so I decided to get Spoox Motorsport to strip down and rebuild the gearbox adding a Quife LSD. This totally transformed the performance and stopped unnecessary wheel spins.
I also had a full Bilstein B6 suspension set up fitted to improve the ride stability.
It is now a much safer and practical car to drive.
