He stuck engine bits up for sale at one point, but no one wanted to pay 1500 for the manifold etc. I'm sure the shell was binned, Its shame they got mugged off so badly as they were clearly 5 lovers. Fecked over so fecked off.

What about the rest of them on the list ?
ep twin engine 5 : owned by an RTOC member named Mark
scoffs rear engine silver 5: It had a makover, electric blue with a Volvo engine. Sold to a VAG enthusiast in the midlands who I believe is converting it to accept a VW motor.

The purple car from K-tec was sold to a lad round this way that I met at a bbq last summer, he smashed it pissed up, he gave 10 large for the car without the gearbag:rolleyes:
the twin engine 5 is for sale.....................
I think chris still has his EFI car, it did crap itself on the rollers while being mapped(destroyed the bottom end). As far as I know the car is still complete and just sat in a garage somewhere, it was repaired just needs mapping I think.
As for the beast, I think the car was stripped, the shell was sold to someone I know and is now on the road as a complete car
Didn't Ashy have the beast a few years back ?
Didn't Ashy have the beast a few years back ?
the beast was long before that, it was black. ashy had the raider.
I think the gearbox out of the purple car ended up in the new Ktec Mk2 clio ITB'd demo car.

I enquired to K-Tec about the yellow Ali-G car quite a while ago as they said they were going to put it back to its 'former glory', but they replied saying they scrapped it due to it being too rotten.
what about the Raider owned by Steve Rae with the reg RAE 46M back in the day. was sold to some welsh guy. - whats happened to it now?

Black magic is now in Australia, a chap called john owns. It need a fair bit of work to get it up to its former glory, but he is working on it. Been helping him with parts. The Ali G car was sold to a customer who did nothing to keep it in good condition, K-Tec then brought back for peanuts, then started to try and sort things out, but was rotten, so got broken up.

There was also the Turbonator, remember that one, one of if not the first 5 with fuel injection.

I think that was broken for bit's as a bloke in Brighton called Alex (ex RTOC member)purchased the car as a non runner with the intention to use the engine in his 5 then his 5 got broken into and alot of stuff was taken and he ended up selling up as he had enough he went down the Skyline route. So from memory it's parts are all over the country.
How about BBPT 5? is that still going?

So from memory it's parts are all over the country.
Really, who said that, did he claim to have the whole car as it never was sold together.
I know the car really well, i stripped the car many times and the old owner used to own a night club and had people who did not like him, all sorts were put into the fuel system and the owner had not seen the fuel cap had been broken into.
The engine and box were stripped and the Red shell with body kit had a standard engine fitted and sold with the standard five engine and box.
The Turbonator engine and box sat in the workshop for near on 5 years, there was a shell that was stripped, sand blasted, totally rebuilt with body kit in light blue and was half rebuilt before i stopped doing any work on it.
The Turbonator engine and box sat in that the last time i saw it, it did not go with the Turbonator shell ect thats for sure.
In fact James it was built in a garage that was only 2 miles down the road from you in Small Dole called Trans4mations.
If memory serves me right he said he got it with a blue shell but as a non runner he did have picks uploaded on the old RTOC site.
Small Dole crikey that's a stone throw away from me.

Yes and the garage was knocked down and now has houses on the site, when we catch up ill tell you all about it.
If thats the case if he got the blue shell with the blended in rear spoiler kit then he got the new shell, he may well have got the engine then but if it was in the state when i last worked on it and knowing the owner of the garage as well as i did nothing more would have been done to it, it would have needed a load of work to get it on the road, so he got the new shell but with the engine and box.
If money was thrown at it and it was done right it would have become a nice five and when it ran correctly it was very very fast.

The blue Ali G/carisma 5 was on eBay a few weeks back for 5k
it was starting at 5k i made an offer around 4500 he said no but im sure it was on piston heads for well over 7k does any one think its worth that or less or more????????????????
yep was pictured in a staffordshire scrap yard.
Such a shame i remember the first time Stu brought it up the pod, i think it was ultimate fast car 1996 or 97, he was so proud of it but could not run it down the drag as it had only just been finished, never saw him or the car after that, would have been good to know how it did down the strip, anyone got any photos ect or vid's of this.

12.6 @ 112 if my memory serves. there was something spooky about his run, either the trap or ET was bang on the same as GT tuning's record run of the time, I forget which.

:laugh: Yeah, I remember his website. Total arse gravy of the worst kind.:rolleyes:
The thing was, at that time, the majority of folk believed whatever he or GT tuning had to say about anything. :rolleyes:
Do you remember the argument between Steve and Glen T about "who had the most power"... ? it rolled on and on, Steve assuring the world he had the most, essentially because he'd spent the most money on his engine. Glen responded by pointing out that his own R11 was notably heavier than Steve's R5, and still Glen went dramatically quicker on the drag strip. That was not enough to convince Steve, though :laugh:

That Chelsea meet was my first big GTTOC meet. Had to leave early though as my mate who was with me found out his mum had just been taken into hospital and she died when we were on our way home. :( 1996 i think it was.

The Turbonator engine and box sat in the workshop for near on 5 years, there was a shell that was stripped, sand blasted, totally rebuilt with body kit in light blue and was half rebuilt before i stopped doing any work on it.
The Turbonator engine and box sat in that the last time i saw it, it did not go with the Turbonator shell ect thats for sure.

what u think its worth
What I think its worth is not a lot. To get that looking anywhere decent enough to drive about you might as well buy another one. The interior is shocking and the wheels will not make it a fun car to drive. If its a show car you are after though, or for keep a piece of history then maybe 3.5k at most, but I dont see the point in a car like that.
a car like that is only worth what's someone is prepared to pay for it, looked ok 15 years ago but I personally wouldn't be seen dead driving it about, maybe I'm just getting old :D

Guys thanks for this thread.
Thanks to this I've just bought B5GTT from John at GT Tuning.
It's still exactly the same spec as it was in the last max power article, and although it's been stored for years its in amazingly good condition.
I plan to use it pretty lightly (but enough to keep it good) as I've got a gtr for daily use now.
Any tips for who to insure it with?

No, the silver one was B9 GTT. B5 GTT was THE GT Tuning demo car that was the 1/4 mile record holder for several years. It was originally a Raider (Number 1 I believe - There's a piece of A4 paper confirming it ;)), but it was resprayed a bluey/greeny flippy colour.
Say what you like about GT Tuning, the car's a piece of gtt history, and a very big piece at that :cool:

Black magic is now in Australia, a chap called john owns. It need a fair bit of work to get it up to its former glory, but he is working on it. Been helping him with parts. The Ali G car was sold to a customer who did nothing to keep it in good condition, K-Tec then brought back for peanuts, then started to try and sort things out, but was rotten, so got broken up.
Black Magic has changed hands again, still in Oz and gone to someone keen to keep it going strong.

I see that on ebay, it looks like another shell that has been modified for rear/twin engine set up but thats all nothing else been done to it. Bare shell aswell.
The price though is taking piss abit! £2000!!!:eek:
exactly what thought pretty damn pricey. I couldnt see if it even had the rear struts etc in situ

One I remember from back in the day was an E plate Electric Blue Ph2 with White multispoke alloys, was at the 3 sisters track day I went to in my 1st 21T (that I broke on the day!!) and was also at one of Moggys RR days in Wrexham. Seem to remember it having NOS and quite a bit of power!!!
Sparkie should remember him coz I'm sure this Blue car just pipped his to the post for the highest BHP (awaiting to be shot doen in flames!!)
Think it belonged to a lad called Lee?? Short guy with a goatie, may have been from Liverpool??
Sure I've got some pics somewhere, will try and dig them out.
As for Steve Rae, I remember him turning up at Moggys RR day, giving it the 'big I am' then leaving.....never met such a tool in all my life!!

I'm working on it. Giving Bealo a nudge every now and then to break out the nice prints he has of the car but they are well buried in his loft I think!
I'll post some up when I get them.

Hopefully it will be back on the road for the early summer, sticking with the Europarts theme, hence the no colour change & C1J with the EP carb/injector set-up, more then likely a Adaptronic ecu for the ignition & to control the single injector?
Last but not least it will stay with the black & Orange seats:o, It just needs collecting from Dave’s as soon as the snow clears:sad2:

I think this is the car I said about before with the golf head lights and Carlton Delta(?) kit and big wheels. I think it used to be a kind of copper pearl colour.

Real shame but think this car is gone now:sad2:
Was on ebay little while ago but in right state, interior missing, no engine and kit crack.
I enquired about it to put it back to former glory but owner wanted way too much money so think it got broken for spares and shell gone.

it is a shame i loved that car,he sold the car in about year 2000 the year i started secondary school he let it go for £2500 with no mot as he needed the money,he always says to this day you never realise how good your car looks until someone drives it away lol
