Yeah or every other month... see who fancies it.
I will sort out another one for next month if you want. I started it the other year and first one great, then it was only 2 other people, though did have a good chat with those who turned up. Would weekend or week day be better for you? Dont mind either really.

I'm easy to be honest, we could meet up with the Suffolk lot off the A12 somewhere? I need to see Steves raider in person.

Cheers Johnny- I'm gona run toyos. Decided to go for silver colour wise, purely cos I know they'll have better resale value if I decide to change my mind again lol. Plus your tungy looks mental on black rims and don't want to be seen as a copycat

Sits really well on the koni suspension from the club shop. Handles beautifully. I drove it back from "yodas" workshop last night in the wet (never seen rain in my ownership before) Jon tweaked the carb a bit and she's running sweet- had it spinning in 3rd gear with now effort at all. So she has it if needed ;)

Apologies for my Shiite photos (I'm no photographer)
So, all that's left are my centre caps from mike at gt turbo spares & my flocked door cards from Carl @ Phoenix and the 5 is completely restored. I have some refurbed Speedlines & johnnys old voodoos as other "shoes" for her.
Also just got to fit the hot air feed pipe.
She'll be done soon- really happy I've restored it & looking forward to helping mingblus (simo) crack on with his project now.
Looks great. Top job mate:agree:
Fab.
Looks like you have condensation on the inside of both rear windows? Are the rear windows locking shut fully and the seals ok etc?

Nice to see the car back in your possession mate. Wish mine was as complete as yours. Don't change the bonnet mate what ever you do.
Looks great, really like interior although you should have kept turbines not feeling the cup rims - maybe better if they were black!
That is looking very nice, done a good job there mate! :agree:
Cheers for the comments. Hopefully the centre caps will make the wheels look nicer.
Didn't spray them black cos they'll look like spares

Yeah I'm well chuffed with the ride height and handling mate. :D
After a real ****e day dealing with an insurance company involving one of my company vans, I decided I'd update my 5's policy.
Sureterm are really great. I told them all my upgrades and have an agreed valuation of £6500 for my lil beasty, included my upgraded suspension and wheels. £10 a year extra.
£140 a year. Chuffed

Might give them a call. Am struggling to get under £275 at the moment.
Is it the rollcage insurers don't like ? :(

Funniest response from a woman earlier at the BP garage when I was doing my air in the tyres. "Lost my virginity in one of them" pissed myself laughing. Classic.
Good choice putting those caps on them wheels :)

Amazing how four little centre caps (and sooty) can change the look of the whole car.
Looks mint mate :agree:
Seeing as you're modifying the car now think you should have one of my pods ;)
Got singles now too!

Only wheels and exhaust are modded mate. Gonna get a standard exhaust sorted next year. I still have the Speedlines for the purist in me.
I want a modded 5 so I can have pods & my ax spoiler lol

O.E+ ftw ;)
Second that. OE+, don't change anything that can't be put back and keep all the standard parts. A bit of mild lowering and a stainless rear-exit exhaust with a 3" tail never hurt. :D
Strange how much difference those centre caps make.
Looks sh1t, totally runed the car! What was you thinking?........... :cooter:
Your last three letters match the Mrs old car reg that she officially labeled "Fu*king Gone Nuts". :laugh:

Although I don't like the colour of these rims, who ever painted them done a high quality job!
Replacement turbine centre cap bolts- £7 delivered. Bargain!

Right then, At the request of my dearest rtoc'ers I have decided to update my thread.
After my "oe" hoses were looking shite, I decided to buy a full set of black sfs hoses. Whilst fitting these I thought I'd get some chrome innit...

And my latest idea. Heavy duty long life radiator fan complete with fitting kit. The kit needs to be cut down slightly, but the slimline fan allows for easier pipe runs etc for fmic and oil coolers.
I suppose being a Spal authorised dealer has its perks.
Anyone interested in one can order one via me. I'll sort out a set price for rtoc'ers
Well worth the wait, looking good mate :)
We'll after the shit u goon and that northern whippet racing pigeon breeding ******* lee have given me I thought it was high time lol
Very smart indeed.
Those seats are incredible :smokin:

Cheers Tub. I'd love to take credit for them, but it was originally Hickmans idea. I copied him (with his blessing) :)
Looking good mate ! I need to pull my finger out and copy your enthusiasm!!!
Looks really well :)
Actually the front driver's wheel appears to have a strange camber. Is it just the angle the photo has been taken at? You don't have a mix up in Ph1/2 suspension set-up do you?

Those seats are f*cking lush. Some creativity gone in there
So much better on turbines! Love it
I totally approve of this car - very nice indeed! I love the seats in particular :cool:
Cheers chaps!!! As I said Hickman was the creative genius behind the seats. They weren't my idea at all. I am extremely happy with them, they're so comfortable it's unreal.
The suspension is the konis out of the club shop trev. I think it's just the pic that makes the Camber look abnormal.
I'll be up the workshop fitting the new slimline radiator fan tonight. It'll modernise the engine bay and also make working on it a lot less hassle.
I know I've said it before, but the car is truly finished now. I may even consider selling it if the right price came along.

We ran the car up and the fan cools as well (if not better) than the standard kenlow fan assy.
These are available to anyone interested. Its smartens up the engine bay a treat. :)
She's washed and polished and ready for the summer :D

Well in the morning I brush my teeth, using mcleans. Then I use a wash in shampoo and conditioner. I scrub my body using a body shop mandarin soap.
Hair styling wise I use V05 Matt clay ;)
On a serious note- I got it washed by the guys at the train station. I use them so often I get discount :) they use autoglym stuff on it mate.
Looks absolutely awesome now mate :agree:
Actually, would be good to see a walk-around youtube vid with it running. :agree:

Special thanks to DALE my best friend ever! X
It's a great 5 mate. A real shame you have sold it! I still think you need a slap for doing so ;)
Who bought it then?

The new owner has got a very nice solid car which he will be able to enjoy for years and is a credit to you Dave. Well done. :agree:
What's next???
Sorry for the delay Mike! The last year has been horrendously busy!
After selling my 5 (biggest regret ever) I bought mk1 focus RS. Got bored of that so sold it.
I'm currently looking for another project to do. Maybe that phase 1 pearly if u ever decide to let me take it ;)
You think you can come here, clean out the club for all its info to help you build a 5, sell it and sod off into the night and then come crawling back? :tuttut:
Welcome, welcome :D :guitarhero:
Plenty of project 5's out there TC. Surely you don't want to do it all over again!
Knew one day you will start looking for a 5 again. Electric blue phase 1 you need which somebody was trying to sell somewhere, cant remember where. If I had the money I would go for that as love the colour :smokin:

I think this latest post has put the biggest smile on my face.
So you say project... A new 5?
Good to see you back mate :)
Lol good to see you back :)

Welcome back fella, you'll be back in a 5 before you know it! :cool:
Ha cheers all!
It might be 5 project, but it would have to be a cheap one. Some of the prices I've seen on eBay are stupid money.
Looks like I missed the tungy phase 2 on here
