the b18ft 5 lives again

this is the blue rear engined 5 with grey bodykit, i think it was built by scoff..? haz..? i think it was last owned by matt[notnormal].?

its been off the road as soon as the new owner bought it, this was due to the car having a constant problem of the coolant system pressurising on boost and throwing all the coolant out.


well good news is that a top engine builder local to me has fully stripped and rebuilt it for the current owner and its all up and running well :agree:

it sounds bloody scary awesome, its also been on the rollers and made 270bhp!! @the wheels or flywheel i dont know.

im sure its had a different turbo fitted too. im unsure what boost its actually running etc.

the owner im told also has a r21 turbo quadra!

good to know the 5 is back out there.

:)

Was wondering where this got too!

good news then :agree:

Next step is to get the currunt owner on here :agree:

very good, it lives on! I'd be interested to know if they narrowed the cause of the pressurising.

as for who did what - I built it originally with a C1J, Matt bought it, Haz fitted the volvo engine and painted the car, I made the exhaust, wired the ECU and mapped it.

Glad it's going again :)

ah glad its back on the road:)...it didn't come of the road for a re-build tho has such tho a week after selling the car, it was found abandoned in Nottingham with suggnificant damage buy the police has to which i got in a lot of meither for...as the new owner didnt send or re register the car for new log book...





happy days tho..............:cool:

because it is or i was led to beleave ashy, like i said and has been mentioned the owner has verious renaults in bubbles, i sold it on the unstanding that it was goin in one......weather it is now or even with the same owner i dont no:rolleyes:


the thread on cs was to share the photos i received only yesterday with people that are infact interested in an awesum car;)

It clearly didn't spend much time in a bubble if it was crashed 1 week after you sold it :(

Good to see someone now owns it and has taken it to the next level 270bhp should be interesting. Wonder if he'll come to my RR day next weekend!

he says open to offers, i asked him why hes selling it just after its been rebuilt... he told me hes not fond of rear wheel drive and isnt keen on the engine in the back!....he then followed this up by saying its scared the sh1t out of him twice now lol :laugh:

if any one is interested in the car pm me and i will forward you his contact number.

so whats the lasted on this chaps ? is it still about ?

the cars still sat in the same place sat in the corner of the workshop, after it was rebuilt he managed to turn a piston or to into liquid metal:crap: the guy who rebuilt it for him (who really does know his stuff) told the owner to get it setup on the rollers before giving it the beans. and possibly getting a standalone setup he didnt listen and raped it from the word go.:crap:

i see the car nearly every other day, still looks the same

id like to know how and what is involved in doing this?:agree:

sounds about right, would be nice to see it again.
in the words of those that have done it 'if you need to ask you cant' ! its been asked so many times, there are no set jigs for this conversion. basically chop the back out, floor chassis legs etc offer up the subframe inc running gear and make mounting points and weld in. std turret from the front can be used or fabricate some up. i've spent years around this car, in fact i think i met scoff shortly after he build his, and still wouldn't klnow how to do it, mainly because i feel my welding skills are not up to the job so i'd never actually do it myself, thus most see it pointless explaining it all.
