Hi guys ! Small update. The car passed inspection and i now have real license plates ! I have not registred it before beacuse when a car is 30 years or more in norway its considered a classic . "classic" cars are much cheaper to insure and the annual road tax goes down from ca 410 usd to ca 50 usd and it now has full insurance up to 6500usd wich cost ca 100usd per year. Here are a few pictures from today

I know hehe , just hoped that there was a common culprit on theese engines Fuel filter is also new and the d.cap and rotor seems fine . I can upload a clip of the car running.

Hi my car is running rough , its rough no matter the rpm its like its missing a little bit , plugs are new , leads are new and compression is ok . Are there any common culprits making these enignes run a bit rough?

Hi i was wondering if its possible to get this figure without much hassle . I have a euro n9te 160hp engine.

Hehe do it! :-) . Im just waiting like a kid for christmas , for spring to arrive so i can take the car outand get i registred ! :-)

The plates are Temporary numberplates Here is a few lines from : Norwegian Public Roads Administration Temporary plates (trade plates) may be used only on vehicles that are not registered. They may be used only for the following purposes: Moving a vehicle from one place to another Test-driving (in connection with repairs, etc.) Demonstration (for example, a dealer's demonstration of a new model) Driving in connection with registration But the police is not very strict on this , so they will let you pass if youre just out for a short ride as long as you dont use the plates for everyday use. There is not much police around here anyway , was pulled over one time but that was just beacuse the officer wanted to have a chat about the car . The car will be registered next year anyway beacuse its 30 years next year so then i dont have to use the temp plates anymore. When a car or motorcycle is 30 years or older i norway it considered a "veteran" car and the annual road tax and insurance falls considerably . Thats why its not registred yet

Went for a drive today , took a few pictures that i would like to share with you guys

Hi a small update . the power steering has been sorted out and all is well A pair of fresh pics: 505 Turbo & 605 2.5 turbodiesel. Cylinder head recently cracked on the 605 so it will probably be parted out, because a new cyl.head is the eq. of 1500 usd w/o valves ... it has done almost 200.000 miles though. Just washed

Hey! its been a while( sorry about that) so i thought i might do a litlle sitrep Where to start .. well in october last year the hydraulic cylinder on the steering rack failed completly and spilled all the power steering fluid while i was drivng around town. Luckily i was just 2 km from my fathers garage where the car is stored , so i drove it back and parked it hoping the power steering pump had not failed too from running dry. I was planning on fixing it during the winter but much working and moving to a new apartement and renovating it ment i did not have time for the car so it has sat in the garage and still is beacuse i just have not had the time sadly . I have however managed to source a replacemnt cylinder so thats taken care of atleast Now i plan on fixing this so that i can drive the car again. Ive taken a few random pictures lately and a clip i thought i would share: Interior pic taken in the garage , (Note: no blank buttons on this one , its got every option besides A/C) All the papers on the car replacement cylinder http://vimeo.com/99980527 The idle sounds rough and clonky in the clip , but thats just the cellphone camera mic thats bad. i H

The round indicator lights mid fender were fitted to all 505 i Norway by the importer when they arrived from the factory in france , beacuse in Norway you have to have indicators on the side on cars made after 1980(i think it was 1980 , but not sure). Yes im so glad it was that easy as i was really puzzled by it . The photo was taken in our drive way. It was 9 C° in the shade here yesterday, usually its around 13-14c° at this time of year . Im also getting a gopro hero 3 in the mail soon , so hope to put together a little video soon.

Hi again people. I sorted ut the problem , it was a leak between the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler. Took it for a drive today since the backroads were finally dry , the spring is late this year in Norway you see. Also have a clip where i do a 2nd gear pull from ca 40kmh , its not the best clip beacuse i used one hand to hold the phone so i had to push the clutch in instead of shifting up and so on . https://vimeo.com/63522228

Thanks for the appreciation! The car is now in winter storage in a dry garage that is constant at 15°c . I plan to give it a polish and i also have to find out why it is not pulling as well as it did before . In august last year i was out driving the car and did some full throttle pulls mostly from 2nd to 3rd and from 3rd to 4th it may sound like i was hooning/driving the car very hard ,but i can assure you that the engine was up to temperature and i did not take it to the limiter:-) anyway the last time i did it the overboost sensor kicked in and limited the car , so naturally i drove the car straight home and quickly found out the the rubber tube between the turbo and wastegate had slipped of on the wastegate end so i replaced the hose with a new one on placed new clamps on both ends . Then i went to test and the limiter did not kick in but the car was a bit slower than before , so i went back to the garage and checked all the clamps and seals from the turbo to the intake , but still the same , so im thinking that the wastegate might have become faulty in some way .. any toughts? I greatly appreciate all help ! Best regards boundish

how cool! , how is the suspension holding up? i imagine that rallyx will kill bushings and such pretty quick?

Great driving! , but i must say i feel a bit pity with that poor 505

That approach seems interesting! I once had a minor accident with my daily driver peugeot 605, and needed to replace the front bumper and i first check the price of a new one at my local dealership and that wad around 10000 nok (1750$) unpainted... So clearly i went for and secondhand one

It is factory correct;-) no engine has been swapped here. Europe also got the n9tea in 86'. The seats are very nice and very comfortable . Cool idea bean, only issue is that the parts for this car are rare. Specially body parts like bumpers and such. By the way does anyone know where i could get new mouldings? I am thinking of those that go from the bottom of the a-pillar to the c-pillar

Aha, i cant see why the employees would leave the cards in the car when it was finished though. I can scan them for you. Thanks for the appreciation!

By the way what are theese cards? There are four of them and they have different holes in them

Hi again ! Took a few more pics that i wanted to share . First up is another shot of the control pad for the driving computer as requested the booklet for the driving computer and cruise control + a few other things Page 1 in the booklet cruise control.. driving computer.. the display for the driving computer currently displaying avg.consupmtion in litres per 100km the "test" button is used with the ignition in acc+ to make the computer run trough all of the voice commands

thanks to all for the appreciation! I live in Norway . Well it's almost solved.. I think the wastegate might be faulty because it feels like the wastegateIs letting out more boost than it should resulting in what feels like lower boost pressure( I have yet to hook up a boost gauge to find out). Yes its on the overhead console. I can take more pictures no problem at all :-) , and dont be sorry. You cant ask too many questions :-)

bought a new camera the other day. Took a few shots to test it out. by the way the upholstery is not faded it just looks like it beacuse of the camera and the light.

No he owns it on paper but i use it and take care of it ,he hardly uses it at all ..yeah ,the two tone paint scheme really makes it stand out!

the turbo/v6 euro lights with h1 and h4 are rare , but they should fit. i had the first drive after fixing that vacum line today and the car seems to have lost some punch when the turbo kicks in(not very much , but just enough to notice) , could it be that there is a leak of boost somwhere or can it be that the vacum line i replaced was leaking just a little bit before it blew of so that boost increased just a little bit? what do you guys think?

Thanks for the appreciation! :-) I also like the 1985 best beacuse it still has the 1st gen styling with the two-tone paint and at the same time it has the most equipment and the 160hp n9te( no cat either so i breathes proplerly too) . I looks like nothing else. I will upload more pictures later :-)

Hi all! im new in here and i thought i would start off by showing you my 505 turbo :-) it's a 1985 505 turbo injection n9te with about 77,000 km on the meter . my dad bought it in 2004 from the widow of the car's owner since 86' and now i have the car. it is only driven in dry weather and it is in good condition . this is a well equipped model with power everything , cruise control and heated seats in addition to the standard equipment in the european 505 turbos (talking computer and programmable driving computer and so on) and everything works! must appologize for the bad qualtiy on the interior shot i only had a cellphone camera , but i will take pics of the interior in better lighting soon pics: had a minor engine issue a couple of days a go .. the car would not go above 3000rpm under load , found out it was a the vacum line from the turbo to the w.gate that had blown off and caused overboost and then set off the overboost sensor
