    I have a few front grilles for an 88 and 89 model year Peugeot 505 and also have one or two sets of European headlamps for the 505.   They take an h7 bulb and cast a nice beam.  I am located in Las Vegas.  Let me know if you are interested 

    Are you sure for H7? Should be H4?

  2. It hard to say what is good for driving cause it totally depends overall and combination of things in car. My setup is original front shocks with modified valves (pretty easy job) and bit stiffer oil, tyres are 205/55/15 and rear shocks are koni adjustable with extra springs. Springs are currently original but I have sets for front Volvo 240 and rear Mercedes 124 (not sure about models, those have been on my storage over 10y) Engine has currently around 250-300hp and thats not enough in summer to keep slides in control, if power cuts then its hard moves cause long front suspension movements. Hard to control compared to other rwd cars. I'll look new rear tyres for size 225/50/15 for next summer. One comment on handling, high tyre wall is also flexible so its not ideal for handling in fex track or sport style. Its more comfortable type of usage, more silent and softer feeling.

    There is many power houses if looking widely from 4cyl to V6 which are easy to put 400+hp wheel and much cheaper than building it from original or with engine which needs a lot of fitting work. I would say at this current build as I have is around 300-350hp and was cheap option to build (did take time to collect and fit all). Surely needs to use some more adjustable ECU for that numbers but thats an another story (currently running it with original ECU and injectors etc).  From memory BX 4TC there was some text saying at it was measured around 400hp but I dont remember where it was sayed. Still pretty weak numbers compared to other B group cars at the time.

  5. As said above these heads are originally not designed for turbo usage and thats one reason to add to list, heat waves and knocking (even slight ones) combined to over heat are killer for this head. Good thing is at usually heads which are professionally welded repair are not so sensitive for those issues mentioned. I have passed to other users or used my self around 15-20 heads. And still have 4-5 heads on storage which are not welded (no dani heads anymore). Welding costs around 400e + machinery+valve work. I did make one dani head from normal one but that was very costly, combined price was around 1800-2000e. I have T4OE (from Group2 Lancia integrale), saab 9000 IC, Volvo pistons (B21et), Dani head  and cam, special head gasket from italy with separate seal rings (can be reused).

  6. I did make good package of complete head and sent it to USA... and it seemed lost some where. It did leave Finland but then trail is lost :( Local sender back payment only covers partially this lost. But problem is at those heads are not available. SHIT... This is last time I'll sent anything valuable by carrier which does not cover full back payment.

  7. It depends what are your goals with engine and of cause budget. Standard pistons are weak, those can take around 220hp with good knocking control. Standard turbo is max 220hp, peak could be bit more but starts too much heat. Standard head is not first limiting thing, but there is custom head and cams available. But there is long storys here in forums about these things. Just ask and lets see if can help.
