4 that I've seen! Stu has a mid-engine one, there was stuart beals old wide arched 4wd one, there's a front engined RWD white one and a local company to me was building a yellow mid-engine that may or may not have ever seen the road.

..... and a local company to me was building a yellow mid-engine that may or may not have ever seen the road.

Was that Stu's one? He bought it from somewhere 'up north', where it had been sitting for years.

I think that Bealo's was the only 4WD one that's been done.

I'm sure from memory there was a twin cosworth r5 but memory also serves it went up in flames many years ago.

[raider_gtt]

yes you are dead right if only that shell was sill around :scratch:

That was Stuart Beales 5 that Scoff mentioned.

It was basically a Sierra Sasphire Cosworth floorpan shortened to accept a Renault 5 body ontop of it, no twin engine/turbo combination. It had a wide arch Skeete kit fitted to accept the wider track of the Sierra wheelbase.

It did die in a fire, not too sure what caused it but not much was left, remember seeing a pic of the burnt shell ontop of a container in a scrap yard

There must be video somewhere of the twin engine 5 doing a lambo, seen it once but no look with it on youtube

If memory is right thats Ian Nixons old twin engine 5, remember there being a feature on it too in a magazine. That ran 2 1.4 C1J engines

What. you mean a gtt sticking it's boost hose up a Lambo's exhaust pipe? :scratch:

[Thundercat]

Seen a vid of a twin engine r5 with cosworth lumps doing a sprint with a lambo, it was on a dvd.

As said above by Mark, that was Ian Nixon's twin C1J'd Renault 5. They weren't Cosworth engines.

Never seen a twin YB powered 5 before, would there be enough room for it? :confused:

If you find link of it put it on here, be interetsed to see that one

i have that dvd somewhere! and as mark has already said,it was 100% defo the europarts 5 running c1j engines.

[Thundercat]

ok bud, my memory must be playing tricks on me, i know i have the magazine with pics of twin cosworth r5.

[Markey Mark (BD)]

Come to think of it if that car exists i can't see how it would work though, being both engines are designed to run as RWD.

[Tony Walker]

two props and squeezing the diffs somewhere and flip one? lol not possible.

[REGGY5GT]

there was one in a scrapyard near me (furbers) that was a cosworth engined 5 as i remember it from my younger days of tatting at the scrappy all day,lol, as far as i can remember is was a front wheel drive cossy 5 with a dimma kit, was burnt out im sure of it and gary the gaff at furbers had it sat ON a container out the way for years but as soon as i bought my 5 it was gone, cant remember the colour, does this ring any bells??

[Tony Walker]

:) my 17th birthday was spent at furbers getting parts off a gtt to add to my lil 5 :D was a pretty trashed gtt

Nay, steve has the 'other' EP orange GTT that Charlotte owned for a while, then someone else. It was a normal FWD shell, albeit the same colour as his twin.
