View Full Version : Back from Respray
And to think I sold my mint one to a fellow member a few months ago for £20, lol.
I have to live with that everyday lol.
Ive offered Jonathan alot more than that for it and he wont let it go.
Dont blame him tho really :cry: :cry:
Your car still looks great you know. You should be proud.
As for the bonnet matting- mine is non existent too. So I'll need to find one but I am def not paying £250 for one!! That's daylight robbery on a new gearknob style!!
What is the matting actually made of? Anyone know?

No idea mate! Im assuming some kind of fire resistant glass matting :confused:
Only a small update, car is now tucked away and sorn for the winter months.
In the meantime i've been collecting more parts to keep improving things for next year.
Purchased a K-tec d/c intercooler off 1988cab (cheers mate :agree:)
Old s/c Pace vs New.

Also won an Armtech rev limiter off ebay for only £27 delivered :eek: :D
Its more of a safety mod after having an incident with a missing throttle return spring :ashamed:
http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/JonnyR5-2008/004_zpsc744626d.jpg
Im also feeling a really big need to scratch an itch for a t25/t2 turbo and some kind of cam.
Might have to wait till 2013, with my second daughter being due early next year :)
Lol - we are never happy with what we achieve on these things are we :)
I think ill be just like you when mine is done, forever tinkering with it!!:agree:
Intercooler fitted :)
Gave the engine bay a bit of a wipe down too now she is off the road.

Pushed her out in the sunshine for a mid hibernation engine run up yesterday.
Gave me chance to test fit the new strut brace (Cheers Nottswoody :agree:) before we paint it.

Evening :)
Its that time again! Only 10days till the 5 is back on the road after its winter lay up.
Had it out today, fitted my new magnecors and the now painted strut brace.
It started on the first pull, not too bad as its been sat idle since Dec :agree: C1J ftw :laugh:
Few bits to tidy and sort, nothing major, but today was a good start to 2013 :D

stunning!!!
can i ask 2 questions?
1. how come you have no hose going to the anti perc fan?
2. do you get much of an oil smell from your oil breather in the car?
thanks
adam
Can't believe your selling it fella.

Thanks mate,
I only use the perc fan to blow cold air to the base of the carb and over the main fuel line. The hoses that ran to the solenoid and into the main boost hose are notorious for boost leaks. I removed and blocked mine off to tidy up the bay a bit, and eliminate this problem.
I have never had any oil smell in the car at all the whole time i have ran that set up :)

You got any more plans for it? Mines having loads done at the moment. So close to being finished now.

Ive still got the Armtech Rev limiter to fit and then its just general maintenance bits, oil/coolant change etc the boring stuff :sleep:
Might actually be able to say its finished this year :laugh:

Looks nice mate, I've decided to go as near to OE as possible. Bar my door cards,turbines,strut brace and alloy inter cooler it's standard. I've got the standard speed lines still for shows. Not that ill enter for competition. Don't wanna get involved in the bitchiness that happens. I wanna rent mine to tv & film :)

I had something similar with mine, was liveable till the day I gave it a boot full on high away from the lights and the rear hoop of the seat broke off and I ended up laying flat lol

Think mine is just the pivot bolts, will have a look next week.
Better pic of the new parts fitted in the engine bay, all the rest needs a good clean :agree:
Also going to remove the perc solenoid brackets soon now they're not needed.

Will the lobster smack into the brace when the engine goes under load? Looks v close. Maybe get some thin dense foam to put on the brace just to take the 'bang' out of it? Or will it not be a problem?
Does look like a disaster waiting to happen lol
Like the breather set up too. Nice.

Shouldnt be an issue i dont think :crap:
Im using heavy duty engine mounts which should help but will have to wait an see, although like woody says it was his brace before and it never caused him any issues :)

Gonna see how i get on with the new d/c standard position one first mate as ive not even driven it with it on yet. I only run 17psi on a mild T2 hybrid.
If a T25 happens to find its way on :innocent: i may have to reconsider.....will i ever stop changing stuff :dearme: :laugh:

lol well watch this space.
I replaced some of the worn torx bolts at the bottom - helped abit - but rest of the movement is in the seat frame - think iv got a vid of the movement somewhere eil dig out as I didn't know how to repair them.
Liking that breather setup - oe but loses the feed back to air intake, I just routed mine to a home made bbq sauce breather pot but yours looks nicer - il do it one day

From what i've seen there are some pivot bushes that sit between the frame that attaches to the seat itself and the other part that attaches to the floor of the car, these tend to go oval over time.
Im planning on drilling a hole in the centre of this bush and putting a nut and bolt through with a spring washer and nyloc nut. This in theory will allow me to take up the slack and tighten up the joint but keep the frames moveable.
:agree: I adapted the breather set up cause i was sick of seeing oily intercoolers and intercooler hoses :)
Shouldnt be an issue i dont think :crap:
Im using heavy duty engine mounts which should help but will have to wait an see, although like woody says it was his brace before and it never caused him any issues :)
:agree: Sounds good. Maybe rev the car using the throttle in the engine bay to see if there's any indication that it might move under load just as a precaution? Or if nothing else, keep an eye on the brace to see if any marks begin to appear :)

I swear there is a little torx type bolt that goes there and I swear I had the same issue before
Now taxed and back on the road for 2013 :D
No issues after the first drive out.
The new d/c intercooler seems to be doing its job really well compared to the old Pace unit. AFR's are really good and solid now at WOT and the i/c hadn't warmed up at all after the run.
I can also report no issues with the carb top hitting the recently fitted strut brace.
Quick pic from my drive on my private test track ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBE9GnFaY78
Seat is fixed :D
That bit that appears loose in the vid is a large pressed in rivet that holds the seat mech together, years of pivoting the seat for rear access and general use cause this to become worn.
One carefully placed (hammered) E clip on the inner side of each rivet and everything gets squashed together and it also moves the pivot point to an unworn part of the rivet further in.
Total cost of fix 50p, no more wobbly seats :agree:
Good tip jonny, my van seats rock pretty bad so will give this a go:agree:

If it wears again, is it possible to drill that rivet out and replace it with a nut/bolt affair with a washer and some thread lock do you think???

Possibly, but there's not much room to work with under the seat, anything too big could foul when the seat pivots :crap:

Two per seat. I would use slightly bigger ones tho, maybe 19mm or 20mm as 18s were tight to get on. Mine came from a local hardware shop.

Cars going for MOT thurs and at the moment im looking at changing the wheels again :rolleyes:
As much as i love the speedlines the Uniroyals are rubbish for grip/handling and really dont fill me with much confidence when pushing it.
So im on the luck out for some 15s that will go with the current look....thinking Ronal R10 Turbos :confused: :)
speedlines with r888s JOB DONE !!

A048's are excellent mate, i rate them over the r888's. the grip was better but didnt last as long for me and higher price made me get the r888's to replace. You can get the r888's in 185/60/13, ideal size for a gtt. Prices, well shop round, think i got mine off ebay through demon tweeks
Thanks Brigsy :agree:
MOT passed this morning, no issues :)
Managed to avoid the snow too, thank god :agree:

they may not pop as much on a tungy as the paint is more of a pearl on westys i belive. but wow they look gooooooooooooooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!
just saw this... dont look to bad to be honest they was gonna be white on mine at one point... My colour is darker than tungy more greyer if that makes sense.. aint pearl though that might be the lighting in the photos... Its just got a lot of metallic in the paint proper pops in the sun
Anthracite willy rims on my gtt a couple of years back, awesome combo. Just needed a bit of lowering

Thats it Brigsy, that colour but with the outer lip polished as o.e williams.
Im assuming they're a straight fit? Even with mine being dropped 50mm?
Im going to run the 195/45s off my voodoos.
Just need to shop the o.e. deco's stickers on the sides and I reckon it could add slick contrast to it along with the gold? :cool:
Willy wheels have arrived thanks JimGTT, very happy :D
Really straight honest alloys, perfect for the refurb i have planned....off to the blasters they go.

They'll be bad to the bone mate. We'll arrange meet in the summer :)
Wheels are back from the blasters, no nasty surprises so on to prep for paint.
Very happy with the finish straight from blasting :)
Also picked up the one missing centre cap from Renault.

Thanks Tom :agree:
Chuffed to bits with the colour choice :cool:
Some lacquer tomorrow and they're done, cant wait to see how they look on the car.
Decided against the polished lip because i can't be arsed to polish them every five mins :crap:

Delicious. You can't go wrong with Williams wheels or Turbines on a GTT IMO :cool::agree:
And here's me thinking that polishing the lip was really going to marry the wheels to the car!
It'll look great in any case :agree:
Look great! :cool: should of polish the lips tho. :cooter:
And here's me thinking that polishing the lip was really going to marry the wheels to the car!
Sometimes the cost of doing something outweighs the benefit, in this case at £30+vat per wheel i decided to paint them :laugh:
Boring update time....more wheel pics :bored:
Willys are now finished and im waiting for some new wheel nuts to arrive before i fit them.
I'll do a proper update next week once ive got them on and given the 5 a proper clean.
Sorry for more pics of just the wheels, but im quite pleased with how they have come out for a home refurb and NO i shouldn't have polished the lips :cooter: :upyours: :laugh:

Owe me nothing mate, glad i can help fellow owners :)
One of the best things about this car is that it sits perfectly. Just the correct ride height for aesthetics IMO (and probably about right handling too). :)
Wheels look awesome Jonny!!!! Well done, love the new look for the car:D:agree:
Transforms it. I liked it on the voodoos too mate. Willy wheels look great in that colour though. Regardless of the wheels your 5 looks the business. Hopefully ill see it this summer!
superb !! love the Williams wheels equally as much as the speedlines, be nice to alternate between the two ? :)
Cheers for the comments :agree:

I was a bit unsure about the colour to start with but now they're painted and on the car i know i made the right choice.
EDIT 285mm discs and headlamps now sold on.
Bit of an update for those interested :agree:
I've been steadily racking up the miles driving her at least one day of every weekend for the last two months, with no issues :D
Along the way ive felt like the brakes needed addressing for a couple of reasons.
Mainly because they didnt give me alot of confidence and also the fact that the standard discs looked tiny behind the willy wheels.
So i purchased some 285mm discs off MarkeyMark :niceone:

I also missed the burble and sound of my old style Scorpion 4" backbox, the 3" copy backbox i purchased off CGB just didnt cut it sound wise.
So i purchased a genuine old school 3" Scorpion backbox off Ross aka Slammed66 :niceone:

Also managed a few Ebay bargains along the way, the main one being as good as new looking headlamps which are destined to replace my non genuine items.
Although the ones i fitted not long ago were new, i was never happy with them being non valeos.

Other than not attending ND due to work commitments. (im sure me an the car were missed :laugh:....:rolleyes:)
Thats about it!
With the weather being so nice that weekend i ended up at Baston Car and Bike show near Peterborough on the Sunday.
It was a brilliant day out with over 380 cars and bikes on show, even bumped into a few RTOC members :)
A few pictures from the clean before the show and a couple while i was there!

Yes mate, thank you :agree:
Jon dropped them off not long after ND.
I've got both the 285mm kit & the 16v setup full refurbed ready to go on now, but still cant decide which is the best set-up for my needs. So still on standard at the moment.

Yeah, popped up on ebay as a buy it now the other night :)

Great, love the little ongoing tweaks.
The bonnet mat/carpet - from experience that will come up even better with a gentle brush. :agree:

The engine doesn't breathe heavy at all an i run the o.e heatshield which pretty much covers all the hot side anyways.
Ideally in the future i'd like to loose the perc fan an go rocker to bottom of o.e breather pot, top of o.e breather pot to a catch tank located in the perc fan space.
Think ive seen that set up on Brigsy' van?

Away for the winter and on to another year :) :agree:
Can't help but think gold or silver for the wheels, maybe with some lip work would look great.

some interesting bits on yours, what is the doris mod (i should do a search)? also will like to see how you simplify the fpr pipes as this is something i would like to do.
i also need to sort the lights in my window switches
what is the doris mod (i should do a search)? also will like to see how you simplify the fpr pipes as this is something i would like to do.
A member on here Russell Thorpe has a competition car called "Doris"
He found that by removing the small pipe that connects to the acc pump diaphram from the fpr reference pipe that it cured his hesitation.
Im doing it just to remove one more pipe :) and tidy up the last remaining o.e pipes drivers side of my carb.
As for simplifying my fpr pipes, the above mod removes one from the carb and one off the double t, the other pipe on the double t is for the o.e boost gauge.
Ive purchased a new single T piece and im going to mount this a little lower behind the carb so you cant see it, then plumb in the the above mentioned o.e gauge.
Then just planning on running one single red silicone line to the carb top with no visiable t pieces or other pipes off the fpr.
It would be alot easier to lose the o.e boost gauge, but im a fussy bugger :laugh:
thanks for that
i like the sound of that alot,
you have got me hooked on the over head photo of the engine bay and then examin closely for ways to tidy :laugh:

It would be alot easier to lose the o.e boost gauge, but im a fussy bugger :laugh:
Quite. No way you can lose the OE boost gauge. Watching it move about is singularly the best thing about owning a GTT. :D

Indeed:smokin:
Especially when it's bouncing at the end of the gauge :wasntme:

How is yours coming on Liam?
In all honesty it has become a little static! i am still buying parts for it etc but time is the main issue! or lack of!
The garage is leaking and it has an asbestos roof so I am a little miffed as to what to do with it. Not really a job I want to try in this weather. So I have covered the 5 up with a car cover and just left it for the moment. Plus I have installed a thermostat and a heater in the garage to try and stop the damp.....
Add to this doing every other week on standby with work and you can see why its all stopped at the moment :sad2:
Definetly need to find a few days to have a muck about with it and get it sent off for a respray. Just need to finish a little bit more welding, put the underseal on and sort out how i am going to fix the sagging doors......
Looking at the pics of yours keeps me motivated tbh :agree:

Glad i can help :agree:
If you ever needed a hand, im sure we could sort something.
Would be nice to get stuck back in to the middle of a resto rather than "titivating" :laugh: like im doing at the moment.
Jobs done today;
Alloy breather pot fitted.
Doris mod done.
FPR piping modified.
Had a quick drive up to the garage for some fuel and couldnt resist a photo in the winter sun, needs a clean tho as she's a bit dusty and the wheels are covered in brake dust.
