The Red 16v Project..

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Well i have gone and done it again, i have brought a car that has got me thinking of a different project....

The story goes like this...

I wanted to put a 16v engine in the silver ph1, Mr White (nice chap) happened to put his 5 up for sale which happened to have the 16v engine with all the correct bits & at a very good price as it was an mot failure...

The plan was buy the car for the engine, sell the wheels and other nice bits and hopefully have a free engine...

How ever the when i have seen the car in the flesh, it looks to nice to be broken, but does require work ( inner boot both sides needs replacing), not exactly a huge job, but the areas of the paint could do with some saving... But is a honest 5, not mint, perfect for fast road & track once the welding is done...

I also planned on selling the wheels, but there mint, all straight minimal curbing, one has very slight blemish in the gold paint... These wheels would look the nuts on the silver 5...

Charlotte is gonna kill me when she gets home..

Anyway a quick pic of the old girl at home after a nice tow home

Looks nice mate, you going to finish this one:wasntme: :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Looks nice mate, you going to finish this one:wasntme: :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

As i said the plan was to use this car as a donor, still might... But keep if to learn how to weld, paint etc... But time will tell..

[Mart]

Looks good mate. Not fancy sticking the F4R in it?

Surprised no-one's yet sniffed out the newer RS (197/200) lump & slotted that into a 5 shell.

Plenty of grunt and no turbo lag. Win.

Mart i am all about the low cost side of things.... This engine could potentially be free - plus abit of hard work :)

[Mart]

Same here, but if it's a keeper, and to keep your interest levels topped up whilst driving it ;) I'd have thought the 2L engine would be a better bet? (especially on track).

[mr white]

:cry:

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Have given it a clean today, the car could easily be back on the road, but wont be winning any show and shine... but f*ck that, I want fast road & track.... and the car is perfect for that.

Am now going to see about how much a friend will charge me to sort out the welding...

But then what to do with the silver ph1, Charlotte wont let me keep both lol....

[michael tierney]

u could always have a raffle!!:)

[Adey aka Ewok]

I've got a 172 engine going cheap ;-p

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

sell all the oe parts to me then sell the car.....:wasntme::) i could then also offer you a room and refuge from charlotte.....:laugh:

[elmof1]

I cant keep up! lol. Last i heard you were selling the Ph1, and now you've bought another one, and still have the ph1 :) My mrs would murder me if I had two 5's, i'm hanging on by my finger nails owning one!!

Nice to have the option of a 16v Ph1 , or as you say get the red one on the road as a road/track day. Any idea would route you'll take?

[Adey aka Ewok]

I really liked my last 16v 5, went really well and I didn't ever worry while ramping the hell out of it

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Well the car is at the garage ready to get welded up :)

I thought today, f*ck it, get it on the road & then worry about getting the engine in the ph1, at least then I can c1j the red 1 and sell it on if need be, or do that to the ph1 & sell on....

Some pics of the area's that had been cut out due to rust..

I'm suprised the phase 1 isnt garaged away out of the rain!!

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

I'm suprised the phase 1 isnt garaged away out of the rain!!

Its undercover 90% of the time, not mint enough to warrant a garage... plus I need a garage first... although could well go in the barn if I decide to keep it.

[Ricardo]

I really liked my last 16v 5, went really well and I didn't ever worry while ramping the hell out of it


Was a decent car, did well getting to Germany and back :)

Shoppers, flog the phase 1 and track the red 5. Leave the paintwork, sort the welding, rag the 5hit out of it!!!

Cmon PMT shlaaaaag :cool:

When you break this one can i have the grill?

Put a good engine in, get it an mot & I will buy it back!!!

[Ricardo]

Sounds good Alastair, Shoppers you have too many eggs in baskets, in my humble opinion make an executive decision (red trackday car) and we'll get it trackworthy. Then enjoy it :cool:

I agree, the red car is 90& welded now, just needs finishing off, the large brakes are also fitted, wheels swapped over (so will be selling the gold ones with good tyres), once the welding is done going to sort out a small oil leak & then time for an MOT :)

Silver one will be for sale, either cheap with out an engine, or a good price with an engine (if i can find somebody to supply & fit for a good price)

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Good news on that front is..... I'm going to try and get a friend to fabricate the manifolds, then your going to have to test them.....
Also looking into trying the same set-up for 172/182.....;)

Lol, drop me a pm if your interested:agree:

[Chris Beer]

Looks good :cool:

Fair play to cutting out the boot/arch sections mate! Any pictures or before and after?

How much are the wheels up for?

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

I cant take credit for cutting the rear arch's out, Mat (Mr White) had done that before i collected it...

& Trackdayvalver is the man who is welding my car up & doing a great job to :), its good to have an enthusiastic mechanic local who is happy to work on these cars (he also has a clio 16v which is his track/road car)

[Ricardo]

Shoppers, what wheels are you rolling on now? :)

Can't wait to see it Friday

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

It will be on the famous orange wheels, need to think of different colour as orange and red dont work...

Just realised the indicators have been smoothed out of the wings, bet the MOT people liked that lol

You need a rear bumper? Also my 5 had one of those fail turbo badges :scared: binned it!

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Nothing wrong with side indicators being smoothed, the fronts are visable from the sides :)

Rear bumper will be going back on once ashy's plates have been welded on :)

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Alot of replacement wings didn't have the side repeater holes in them, if any MOT tester is worth his salt, the front indicators wrap around the side providing lateral lighting, but if not anything can be plopped in place to fix that.
Are the gold wheels willy replicas shoppers?

Indeed, i've bought new wings and they didn't have the side repeater holes

[dangerous dave]

im pretty sure they are, i had a set a while back, had a set of willys at the time and tried to pop the willys center cap in.....it dont fit:crap:

i thought of making something to stick to the silver caps, gold painted ping pong ball cut in half or something:smokin:

[James5]

I'd personally keep the willy wheels :)


Agree stick with the Williy wheels:agree: Get them done in white or chromed up or in fact anthracite would look nice against the red car

[tubbyG]

The gold willies really suit it :smokin:

[r5 rich]

the wheels are prima racing wheels which are replica of the williams wheels. They weigh more if im correct. Not sure if they also keep the 7j width that the genuine williams do.

[Trackdayvalver]

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

his new wheels look good on the car. welding is done now. got to put front bumper back on fit bigger brakes then going for MOT tomorrow. :scared:

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Actually the orange wheels look ok... (wheels look very pink, but there actually orangey/red)

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Graham sykes insurance has done me a cracking deal, all mods + future mods, fully comp, 5k miles for £323... No agreed value (not that its worth thousands), if i wanted to go tpft it would be £220....

Win :)

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Car failed, but only on

No side indicators... Wernt arsey, just said he couldnt see them at the correct angle (he got the book out to double check... If it had been an earlier model it would have been ok)

And when you put full beam on the passenger headlight turns off????

[Bruce - BHPerformance]

New headlight bulb needed then shoppers!

Are those my old wheels? (The orange ones)

What size are the willy's wheels?

[Bruce - BHPerformance]

Oh and if you want a nice 2.0l 16v Megane lump and the adaptronic map for it then I have them. ;)

[Robbo]

Looks good mate. Not fancy sticking the F4R in it?

Surprised no-one's yet sniffed out the newer RS (197/200) lump & slotted that into a 5 shell.

Plenty of grunt and no turbo lag. Win.

er! plenty of lag and no turbo springs to mind. stus 197 needed a kick up the arse out out of the hairpin at mallory

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

As of 1st thing this morning the car has a fresh mot certificate...

Now to insure it and tax it.

[Ricardo]

Nice 1 Shoppers that looks good! Let me know when you want the cage sorting :)

I think the wheels would look good either in anthracite or silver, the orange IMO don't give it enough contrast

[cazerooadoo]

Congrats on passing the MOT. :agree:
Looks good but definitely agree silver wheels would be nicer.

[James5]

Do the wheels yellow:D go for the rhubarb and custard look:agree: failing that silver or anthracite would look awesome

I love rhubarb and custard. :D

Cheers for the comments,

This car is going to be a keeper for a while as i will be using it as a daily driver come feb, hence after a 16v engine.

Just need to sort the tracking and camber out & its all good. Cage will be going in shortly, then strip it out for a few local trackdays aswell :)

Hopefully a ring trip in 2012 aswell :)

Bonnett is faded & has bonnet pins in (want to remove them & go back to standard)
Bumpers are smoothed so looking to get OE ones
Pass wing & door faded (could be restored) with a pro doing the work
Drivers wing has what can only be described as a burn mark on ie:Somebody got abit happy with a DA :(

[gttjames]

yer probably a rotary, takes alot for a da to burn through. Well theres loads of guides for da's/rotary online, detailingworld is the big forum for it, if you ever fancied it, yourd be surpised what you can do, cant find any pink to red cars iv done, this is what i did to a swirled civic, its a good picture showing what can be done

The more finished they are the harder they seem to be to sell. People would rather spend 2k on a car that needs work than 3k on one that's sweet. A quick lick of paint and yours will look ace.

Who quoted you those prices for paint??

As I need mine done soon :)

i wouldn't blow your car in with my fence sprayer for £500

[Nad-5GTT]

Who quoted you those prices for paint??

As I need mine done soon :)

I had a bloke down from me in sittingbourne spray mine for £700 that included flatting back then a coat of sealer, then flatting back then a blow over using ICI solid paint, i think if it was base then clear it would have been £1000, i only had the sealer put on because i tried painting the car using cellulose, was ok for engine bay and interior but not outside:ashamed: ive got his number if you want it Liam.:)

i wouldn't blow your car in with my fence sprayer for £500

I am lost-what do you mean???

[Big Steve - Raider]

I am lost-what do you mean???

Translation "I can paint your car for £500 with a fence sprayer, but it would be a sh1tty job as Fence sprayer's are designed for Fence's, not car's, but I suppose if you just want some paint on the car then it will do??

[LiamR]

So in a nutshell....£500 gets you a below par spray job.

[Logg]

So in a nutshell....£500 gets you a below par spray job.

lol I paid £300 for just a bumper and grill to be sprayed.

£500 respray. :cry: Better off eating the paint and farting over the car.

[Big Steve - Raider]

Better off eating the paint and farting over the car.

:laugh::laugh:

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Dont get me wrong for £500 i wouldnt excpect a show winning paint job..... But for me i dont want that nor do i want to spend £1000's on my car :)

The bloke who quoeted me £500 for a full blow over works for panelcraft in ashford but can use the paint booth over the weekends.....

The over weekend he did an aston martin (passenger wing & door) for £300 and you couldnt spot the difference....

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Orange wheels really emphasise the fade in the paint and don't do it any favours.

TBH not overly bothered about Peak Power... as long as it has poke and can be ragged to Death I will be happy :)

[Duncan Grier]

I think anything over 160bhp should be enough to hussle a lot of cars on track, imagine the delivery is going to be very linear which will help us most of that power most of the time :cool: and should sound a bit fruity :cooter:

Ragged to death :smokin: ;)

When is is due to get on the rollers?

DG

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

You won't get much of a gain from just fitting carbs, anything over the standard output would be nice.
Remember, the standard clio 16v was quicker point to point than a standard R5gtt, it just didnt feel faster though.....!

[Duncan Grier]

Matt I have no idea what they made as standard :ashamed: or in fact how much the R1 carbs would make over oe setup but either way sure it wil go really well and sound great.

Keep up the great work on it Matt, looking really good sir

With the front section cut out is there going to be a new section welded in to clear the rad? This is what Scoff did on the VAG 5 but so long back cant remember what the effect of leaving it open would be?

DG

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Sounds like you are interested in buying this thing Duncan?:laugh:

Just to put things into perspective, my Clio on bike carbs (and a few twiddly bits):innocent:
Makes a lot more than it should.....

[Duncan Grier]

:cooter::cooter::cooter:

Just what I need in my life.....................more cars lol. Not finished the ones in the garage :scared:

Been chatting to shoppers about the car and should be interesting :agree: maybe it will make it to ND ;)

I could always be tempted with some old school motor - Scoff quickly talked me out of mating a 5 to the octavia 4x4 bits I still have spare lol.

Sarah is very keen to have her own track car as she finds the track beast & VX220 tweaked ones a bit much (they scare me lol) and hates the octavia 4x4 estate love bus (not that is it a track car)

DG

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Told you Duncain, get your arse back into a 5 & have fun....

Cheap track day cars FTW :)

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

:laugh: I'll try my best for ND.....
Work keeps getting in the way!!

[Duncan Grier]

I have a track car already LOL it just needs 2-3 days of work to finish and due to other car projects just dont have time to complete and house move has delayed things further :rolleyes:

I cant see the tfsi conversion in the VX220 been completed either for next week as too many jobs to do and still waiting for parts to arrive. Would have been good to give it a shake down but makes more sense to get some mies on it prior to a track day and rr 1st

Matt in the words of the mighty Mart - Chop chop then :agree::agree::agree:

Blanks for injector holes, one on the far left will provide vacuum for servo, one on far right will provide map sensor....

[Adey aka Ewok]

map off one port will give funny readings, you'd usually take a feed off each port into a chamber to give smooth readings

Changes to Graham Hill bend have been approved, I'll knock a photo up of what is planned in a mo.

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Like this...

[The new Bill J]

I'm not sure I like the look of that. It looks like a mirror image of Sear's at Snetterton :scratch:

Watching people run wide at Graham Hill bend has always been great fun at Brands :(. I remember way, way back seeing a truck get a tap there, and end up rolling into the pit area, and onto the back of a breakdown truck :scared:

If your about this wknd you can take me for a spin in that ;).

Matt brought the 5 back yesterday, sounds awesome, will take abit of getting used to.

Feels smoother 0-60 than before but faster 30-80+... so not complaining :)

Need to get used to sitting so low down in the buckets, but am very happy with the car, am going to test out a PMT incar cam later, will upload video if it works ok

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Torques.....;)
I like the way this thing pulls especially as its on carbs..... 5th gear, about 35mph and whack your foot down....no spluttering, just pulls till you run out of road.:laugh:
Might try one of my tdc leads on it next time I see you, and possibly the other ecu as they have both been 'played with' I think it runs out of puff at 7000+ rpm.

At the meet i noticed how dirty my car was... hadnt been washed for a year, so today I got a few hours free and gave it a quick clean and a very quick polish....

:agree::agree::agree::agree:

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

It's very straight, shiny in the shiny bits... Front end needs attention and roof needs a good MOP.

A cracking conversion that will get use from now on :)

This car is just great. I love the idea of being able to cane it around a track all day long reliably.

Pleased you're keeping it :agree:

Go on matt, give chris the dosh... jesus cant buy every car in the club {despite wanting too..:laugh:} , besides you don't have enough motors...:D, all jokes aside its a cracking conversion in a 5 for soooo little money im sure it wont stay around for long..:agree: .
Chris at least you get to keep what was in the boot , no matter what{only he knows..};).
ps.. have you had a chance to collect that carbon object...:laugh::p;)

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

When that devil strut brace turns up at Chris's place jeebs, we might think about sticking it on the red 16v, might make it more saleable eh?

if that's the case.... ill send you the k tec one....:uhhuh:

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Nah.....probably worth sticking to the deal with the devil brace I reckon.:niceone:

[Slammed 66]

I've got a mate who's desperate for a clio 16v after watching the track action at N/D. Now, like a bell, he doesn't have any love for a 5 but I'm trying to make him realise how much of a bargain this is.

What's it like on the road Chris? Has it proved reliable thus far?

Well on Monday just gone the car was collected, delivered on Tuesday to the new owner (is a member on here, will let them announce it on here if they wish to do so).

So no Renault 5's ATM, I actually no longer own a Renault ATM....
