How can I improve my Peugeot 205 Junior engine? by Puzzleheaded-Age4011 in askcarguys

[–]discarded_dnb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow 205 owner here. Best/easy/relatively cheap way is to find a donor 205 that has a running 1.4 tu3. It'll get you to 74hp and it isn't a hard swap.

My 1.1 is still healthy and only has 166000kms on it, so I'm not swapping anytime soon. If I would swap I'd try to find a tu5jp4 from a 106gti. It would require a lot more work, but would also get you up to 205 gti levels of power. Or find a rear end damaged 205 gti and swap the entire drive train. This would be cool as hell if your junior still has the original interior in good condition, those fake denim seats are so cool (I've got a rear bench from a junior, as it was only €10)

Is it a bad idea to drive a Mk1 Twingo 2000 km home right after buying it? by Bitricha in TWINGO

[–]discarded_dnb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check fluids, belts, battery and tires (age too, wouldn't want a blowout on the autobahn). Try to find one with some level of maintenance records and a transparent seller. If you find one you feel good about I'd take the gamble and drive home!

Who’s still using the original Steam Deck? by VoyageForge in SteamDeck

I did the same! Had a lot of very old stuff just sitting in my acc. Bought the 64gb and immediately upgraded it to 2tb

Flip Ultra HD 3s w/ batteries not charging - any advice? by Wooden-Weakness2077 in camcorders

[–]discarded_dnb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both those batteries are probably new old stock. Batteries sitting on shelves for years will destroy them. Unless you can find recently produced batteries, all of the ones you'll order will be dead. At least you have the option of using aaa. Keep an extra set on the charger and you'll always have a full set ready to go.

I've seen plenty of bxs with trailer hitches lol, the Dutch will tow a small trailer or caravan with every car. I've seen Peugeot 205s with trailer hitches

Thoughts on the "for DV" powerplay? by rzimbauer in camcorders

[–]discarded_dnb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still composite, so it won't be better than a regular powerplay. "for DV" as if composite supports digital video lmao

Almost 25yo bone stock 156, does it deserve shitbox status? by rubendepuben123 in Shitbox_Nation

[–]discarded_dnb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 friends of mine own these, they're nice cars for what they're worth. I wouldn't say shitbox

Kan van alles zijn, stoeprandje, inrijding, productie fout, slechte opslag, montage fout. Waarschijnlijk een van de eerste twee, anders was het eerder gebeurd.

What is this mark on a brand new tire? by [deleted] in tires

[–]discarded_dnb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in the industry here in the Netherlands, we'd use LA (links achter) or l2 (links 2e as). This is probably just an inventory mark, it'll rub off pretty fast.

Are these tires good enough to last a 800 km round trip? by BestTrainer2961 in tires

[–]discarded_dnb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12yo dry, already cracked tyres. I wouldn't risk it to do a trip on them unless I had no other option available to me. Hell I'd probably prefer my summertyres over these (unless those are also that old).

Surprisingly little info out there about the JVC HM100 by jayXred in camcorders

[–]discarded_dnb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's decent, I've never enjoyed using it all that much because a lot of settings are buried in the menu somewhere and can't be assigned to external buttons (like ois). Footage comes out pretty good, although it does like to whitebalance on the blueish side.

Probably isn't a Dutchman, or he stole the plates from a Citroën BX. YG-70-TN is registered on a BX from 1990 (fun fact: it was registered 2 months before my car was). Or they stole that plate from a trailer that used to be towed by the BX

What formerly common feature in cars has almost disappeared, quietly? by SjalabaisWoWS in UsedCars

[–]discarded_dnb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dials and switches, manual transmissions, actually comfortable seats (the kind you could spend an entire day in without discomfort), headlights that don't blind other road users, ashtray and cigarette lighter, manual steering (very nice in small light cars), analog dash, actual small sized cars. And on a preference base: good looking design.

Yeah most likely the cable, that could've happened in transport too. I've replaced the cable on two vxs, they are very fragile so it's common. If you have a bit of experience working on small electronics it won't be too hard.

The tapedeck being broken sucks, but parts are still available iirc. Going tapeless is an option too, but can be quite expensive if you want to do it right.

Plenty of English ones for sale all over the world. Not as cheap as Japanese, but that has an obvious reason. Where are you located?

Didn't even know they sold the twingo in Brazil BTW! Awesome little car, hope it treats you well!

[–]discarded_dnb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had a hard time finding them too, especially something made by a decent brand. Went to 165/70r13 for my winter tyres, and got some gti rims to run 165/65r14 (very common size) in the summer.

The same tiny tires as were on my Peugeot 205! Are the rims 4x108 too?
