Hello

Has anyone here had their 205 'refreshed' by LAD Motorsport? Anyone own a LAD 205?

Would be good to hear some anecdotes* from owners because i could be interested in going down this route later this year.

Cheers

Moonie

*remember no naming and shaming!

Best place to ask is somewhere like the Peugoet Sport Club, Peugoet Gti Autosport Club or 205gti Drivers, or search the threads on those sites. From what I understand they have some quite ambitious claims for their engine improvements, but checking the sites mentioned above should give you a wealth of info.

You wouldn't believe how many times I rewrote the post to be that diplomatic...

They have been known to do average and acceptable work. If your paying average and acceptable money thats fine!

Read a few threads on the PSOC with the 205 work that has been done. I'd go there and read a customers feedback.

Never had any dealings with LAD.

I have a 205 mi16 on 45's. When reading through the history it appears to have had a full engine build by LAD. Then a year later I have another receipt for a rebuild from another company.

Was a few years back .... but is interesting me thinks.
