I think a bit scared but mostly disbelief

yeah that intake roar wasnt far off a nice B18 or a K24. it had good tone, and a great peak RPM. glorious little engine that just delivered out of every corner

@@ghomerhust This literally looks B18/K24 type of fun, if not even better, would be interesting to see with full race setup and rear discs.

He would probably be less scared if onle he cleaned the windshield to be able to see through that glass

The car owner had the fear part covered for Misha 😂

come on, he was only doing 150 😏

seeing so many people be amazed by such speeds makes me want to drive a car so much! I am 16 though but i basically could drive any car with no problem. for some reason i dont fear fast speeds at all. I will need to wait 2 more years!

​@@Yamaha01.What do you mean you could drive any car with no problem, you're not even old enough to drive yet?

It sounds like a really dangerous thing in your character @@Yamaha01.

The car community is very toxic atm which makes people like Misha very exceptional. I dont see anything that could be dissed when someone simply loves a certain car.

completely agree. just because it's not a 6 digit super car doesnt mean it's not a TON of fun. cheap little builds like this are the root of all car culture, and those rich pricks need to remember that. even guys with multiple supercars like tavarish still love getting into a little hooptie and ripping it on a track. driving a slow car fast is ALWAYS better than driving a fast car slow.

How can you diss a 205? It has always been known as a very good hatchback. Just an LSD bucket seats, and a better steering wheel what this car is missing.

@@horvathr95 No dissing from me. But as the owner of a brand new (and at the time, very rare) fast road car in the 90s, I let a BTCC driver have a go at it on the Silverstone track. The seats had no support (farmers chairs), the brakes were not up to circuit driving and the understeer which was quite noticeable on the road, was horrendous on a big fat circuit like Silverstone. The car? One of the original Subaru Impreza Turbos. So my point is, a good road car may still be a disappointment on a circuit, but Misha won't leave the owner feeling small or his cherished 'whip' to be inadequate. Proper gent :)

Ive driven a 205 GTI and it was a very fun car to drive!. And what most people today does not know, is how it feels to drive a car that weighs less than 1900kg. Even with less than super suspension, the low weight makes up a lot of that.

306 hubs into the 205 GTI beam is all you need. Easy and cheap. I assume you're already running a GTI rear beam? If not, do that too. Consider 406 V6 brakes for another affordable upgrade. Pretty sure they fit under the Speedlines. The other big thing is the diff. Chuck a Quaife into it. Worth every penny. A Gripper would be full race spec, but the difference is not as big as the increased maintenance and pain in the arse of driving on the road. The last thing I would recommend is swapping a tighter ratio steering rack in. In Australia and Japan we got a unique model called the 205 SI that has an excellent rack which makes for a good upgrade from the GTI rack. The XU10J4RS (assuming that is the engine you've swapped in) also has room to grow if you ever want. ITBs and a good tune will get you most of the way to 200. Probably want a good baffled sump as well - the pick-up can become an issue around higher G corners. J'amie le 205 mon ami!

Your reactions are great dude glad you enjoyed the lap!

This was the most fun lap ive ever watched. What a rocketship.

As a non-petrolhead I understood none of that, but I appreciate you taking the time to drop some knowledge for OP

Nice car, amazing exaust sound!! Your reactions are so autentic 😂

original 205gtis now upwards 25k

@@DreadyBob Good thing it wasn't a gti then smartass

@@DreadyBobthis is a standard 205 with engine conversion

@@DreadyBobNot in Aussie or NZ. Have seen some decent examples for sub $15k

@@cw205mi16 yeah standard ones will cost up to 2000 for a nicer one

Ditto. Also agreed on the upgrade path.

Upgraded interior (205 xs?) will make the car more desirable as well. And add sportier seats plus rev counter.

It's need GTI suspension also

​@@rosterenkoOil struts, PUR bushings and some real sway bars (front and rear).

@@codures adjustable camber plates, coilovers, wishbone arms with heavy duty bearings instead of polyurethane, thik rear torsions, front 282mm brakes, 266mm rear brakes, cage, and...new motor and gearbox becouse this mi16 is not enough for such config

He wouldn’t even know what a “pug” 205 is lol

Hell yeah brother

The Cap of the Owner too :D He got like the whole Cleeter Package lol

He’s got the Cleetus hat too. Do it for Dale brother!

Elle va vite la vieille

Gti6 swapped 205s = unlimited fun 😊

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEohshitohshitWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEohshitohshitWEEEEEEEEEEEEE! haha that about sums it up

I'm sure, Misha could shave neatly at a speed of 250 km per hour using the rearview mirror.

I love French cars, they are "foolproof" about handling thx to amazing suspension and FWD

les voitures françaises ne sont plus énervées depuis

There aren't 205 with 600kg. The diesel ones are heavier than this one on the video, so I guess you wanted to write 900 kg 😉

The "common" mod that was done with the 205 at the time was putting a MI16 cylinder head, which was kinda plug and play on the 1.9GTI. For the huge power, but heavier on the front (and destroying the balance) was the 2L TCT (turbo with 150hp) which fitted quite nicely, and then turbo swap.

​@@adriendebosse6941 Yeah but the XU10J4RS (which he has now?) is better again. Can be charged (sc or turbo) if you want, but it's not an easy thing to do. NA it will get a little over 150kw with the right parts, and still will be under a ton.

​@@bernardo_rodri I ran a 1.6 as a rally car that weighed 700kg wet. Strip out the interior, stereo, AC and switch the seats out for lightweight buckets (without the tilting mechanism). These cars are one of the best FWD drivers cars ever made. Just don't crash one without a cage 😅

@@adriendebosse6941 205 tct it was my best expérience and pleasure during 4 years with only 170chx but the turbo change the game I was 22 and one night 2 guys stolen my car and destroy it I was so sad

yeah these little shed builds are where it's at. guys up late banging the car together with mates, having a few beers, wondering how it'll run when the sun comes up. that's what it's all about.

7:25 he wanted to mess with that BMW 😂

@@kristianhartlevjohansen3541 with a twinkle in his eyes...

Probably one of my dreams cars. Especially with the 16V head mod. 1.9 makes about 160-170HP

Haha so im not the only one who thought the exact same thing lol.

I thought i recognized him. This golfing multi-millionaire prob has a couple of fast Germans and italians in the garage, and he brought his Pug...LEGEND.

80s euro hatches were the best! so much character and fun!

5 gt turbo best hot hatch ever

i wouldn't call this one slow 😁

@@Flurry17 yeah ofcorse. I had in mind 1.4 1.6l orginal 205 :D

@@Maltinis I understood you and i think even 1.6 is not slow 😅 And i bet that 1.4 has even less weight and 70hp is not bad at all for that.

owned a 1.4 once. installed a bucket seat. best car i have had.

Years ago I bought a 1.6 205 gti for a £100 it’s had some dents down one side from a baseball bat apart from that it was mint and definitely one of the most fun cars I have owned it felt quick and my god you could throw about

They are often more fun to drive than some modern more expensive and powerful cars.

😊

Was the first car I ever drove

Actually this one is not even that crazy. I used to own it's bigger brother with the same engine, but some guys put a homebrew 2.0 16V turbo in a 205 and that was a lot faster than this. I believe it was a combination of the 605 SRTi engine (XU10J2TE) with the 16V head off of a 306 S16 (XU10J4). Not really built for corners though.

More like: Did i bleed the Brakes Propper without any air bubbles?

ive had a few solid little shed built track cars that i think misha would have enjoyed. i sure did!

Yeah, me too..black 1.9

@@FicaGTI i had a dark gray one. It was a 1.6gti originally but that engine blew up and replaced it with a 1.9 gti block that we rebuilt at mechanic school i was in. At that time i also had a 1985 mazda rx7 13b non turbo but that we sadly couldn't fix, to much rust and neglect.

@@izodope Nice one, mine was 1989 non cat OE 1.9, sold it when prices were low and I needed the money, want to buy it again but prices have skyrocketed...will see wish me luck :)

yup toss out the rear seat and some rear disc brakes.
