boundish Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushgo Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 What a beautiful car! Did u buy the car from your father? love the two tone paint scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 WOW - one of my absolute favorite models of 505 Turbo bare none. I'd LOVE to do a conversion on my 85' so it looked like that. The bumpers, euro headlights with wipers... Stunning. My wife and I have been thinking of a trip to Europe with the kids in a couple years - I keep telling her I want to buy a minty euro 505 to tour around in - then have it shipped back. She thinks I'm kidding. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundish Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 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 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushgo Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I wonder if those euro head lamps with the wipers can be bought and put our cars in the us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal505 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 ^ Wow, those are quite rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundish Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 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?

PeugeotFan613 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 That's absolutely gorgeous, all I would change would be the dashboard, I absolutely don't like the North American dashboard, I believe the Euro dashboard is the best looking. But you have a gorgeous example! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 That's absolutely gorgeous, all I would change would be the dashboard, I absolutely don't like the North American dashboard, I believe the Euro dashboard is the best looking. But you have a gorgeous example! This is a European 505. The dashboard is a series 1 dashboard - iPeugeot changed to the new style series 2 in 1986. There's no differences between dashboards in North America and Europe unless you're talking about which side the steering wheel is on.

PeugeotFan613 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I meant to say the series 2, thanks for correction! You guys mention euro headlights when talking about me shipping parts from Argentina so I thought about how my car has a different dashboard than you North Americans so I instantly call it an euro dashboard.

tulaweb Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I meant to say the series 2, thanks for correction! You guys mention euro headlights when talking about me shipping parts from Argentina so I thought about how my car has a different dashboard than you North Americans so I instantly call it an euro dashboard. The North American headlights came in two versions the early ones had two round sealed beams (on each side). The later ones had one square sealed beam. The rest of the world had what you see referred to as Euro Headlights all along. That includes Argentina. It's just easier to call them Euro than "everywhere except NA". The dashboards didn't differ between North America and the rest of the world (except in countries with right hand drive) . The difference between the series 1 and 2 was just the year, so my 1985 has the newer style square headlights and the older style dashboard. My 1982 had the round headlights. A 1986 and later has the newer style dashboard regardless of whether they were built for North America, Europe or Argentina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrethx Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 très jolie, boundish! you are very lucky to have such a rare gem, and in such perfect condition! i might have missed it, but did you say where you are located? did you get your vacuum mystery solved? where is the driving computer keypad -- is it on the overhead console? could you take a wider shot of that? sorry so many questions.... andré Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bean Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Beautiful! Amazing it all still works. I love the headlight adjustment inside the car as well. Fantastic car Boundish - you're very lucky indeed to have such a fine example. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundish Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 By the way what are theese cards? There are four of them and they have different holes in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethx Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 these are punch cards -- i'm guessing that these were used by the peugeot factory as part of the manufacturing process for your car. the holes punched in them were read by the computer, the printing on the cards was for human eyes. most universities and "front office" departments of businesses (sales, marketing, etc.) had already stopped using punch cards by the mid-80s when our cars were built, but manufacturing data control systems was sort of a separate world back then. punch cards are generally not used anymore, although there are a few computer systems here and there that still use them. i read somewhere that there is a guy who bought up all of the surplus equipment and supplies for punch card systems, and if you need blank cards or the machines to read/write the cards, he's the guy you have to see. you should definitely keep them with the car! they are a valuable historical document...i wouldn't mind seeing pics of the other three, when you get a chance. i'm definitely a geek for that type of information.... andré PS -- thanks for posting the pictures, really great!!

boundish Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Could they have been used for some sort of inspection system, or dealer maintenance record of some sort? Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick@nite Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Well you have the nicer seats in 85' But that's an 86' engine obviously, another plus, Good looking car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Europe got the N9TE before we did - so 99% sure it's factory correct. Best of both worlds - and sadly it has me sadisticly thinking I can swing getting my 85' turbo running! (Like 3 projects isn't enough!) I'd love to replicate the look of look of this car with mine.

boundish Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I didn't know that about the N9TEA in 86'... As for replicating the look I mean via modification or creation of parts. Once I checked into how much it would cost to find and ship parts here - it clearly wasn't feasible. ($400 for a rear bumper plus the same to ship it!) I'd be cheaper for me to build a mould buck out of a USDM bumper with modifications and then do them in fibreglass - but I think decent results could be had with cutting and sectioning the US big bumpers.
