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.

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
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.
-
Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
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:
-
Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
the twin engine 5 is for sale.....................
-
Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
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

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.

Recon Scoff should put a 32" sub in the boot and use the force from that to push him along faster. Under 10s easily using that idea :cool:

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
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.

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.

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.
-
Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
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.

Sparkie, that was Stu Beals motor. That's going back to my very early years of R5GTTOC. About 1996 if I remember right. :eek: I've just re-met Stu this year as we both have M3 CSL's now. He still really misses that car. Still has some nice pictures of it. As far as I know the shell was scrapped. Anyone know any different?
-
Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
Al remember seeing the pictures a few years ago on the site sitting in a scrap yard - was not aware it got transplanted in any way. Would have been nice to have a drive in a 4wd 5 :P
Did think about it for 10mins with Scoff when building my FAMOUS VAG R5 :P lol currently with Paul (Minty83)

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.

Ahh, cool. I must've been mixing up different cars in my head :laugh:
I was picturing one that had crazy A-symetrical kit and huge wheels, or am I well off? I think the exhaust might've exited through the boot lid.
Could be crossing ten different cars here.

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:

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
i used to love the steve rae r5, but it hasnt aged well and these days i think it looks hideous

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
steve rae's website, as mentioned before on this thread in an invisible post. :laugh:
http://www.steverae.force9.co.uk/
and have a look at the list of names on the performance section of his site - russell thorpe at the top, im at number 15! - even willday is in there! :agree:
-
Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
And spot the noticeable absentee, although that's probably due to Steve & I have many a heated discussion back in the day :wasntme: ;)
Remember when the Bridge brothers (BB Tuning) very nearly came to blows with Steve at an old Chelsea/Battersea Park meet-up :laugh: Now that is going back many years!
Who was the Irish big GT Tuning customer who was also well up his own ass?
Great days! :D

Yeah the Irish guy was Jon Semple. Nice guy. Bumped into him at a car show in Ireland in 2004. He still has the car but is a big Evo fan now I think.
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.

So where is the spec and where are the pictures. All I see is a yellow and blue blur which does not look nice.

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
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.
-
Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
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

I remember falling in love with it when I bought Max Power with it in (was it alongside the purple Skeete one?). I fear that it may be the end of it now though :cry:

First post!
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:
It's good to see that it's resurfaced, and I hope to see it one day. Slaterd, hurry up and get it insured, and bring it to our National Day next weekend at Mallory Park :D

I remember Roly tried selling it years back for a crazy amount. I can't remember the exact figure, but I remember it being typical of GT Tuning's usual pricing structure :D
It's a legend of a car, and it was my favourite for a long time (back when it was in it's original colour, with TSW Blades) :cool:

Thanks! I won't say how much just to be fair to John, but I'm very pleased with it.
It looks pretty well how it did 10 years ago.
See pic attached, I'll add more once I get it back from getting it's MOT and stuff done.
I won't get a chance to bring it next weekend, but definitely next time..

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
i still think gt tuning gears some of the best thats ever seen a renault 5 when it comes to aftermarket gear.. well built, well styled that worked with the original parts and styling, not against it like kombat kits etc..
prices were:eek: but still even now alot of it can't be bettered, only copied..

Say what you like about GT Tuning, the car's a piece of gtt history, and a very big piece at that :cool:
It's good to see that it's resurfaced, and I hope to see it one day. Slaterd, hurry up and get it insured, and bring it to our National Day next weekend at Mallory Park :D
:agree:

I think the black Cosworth 5 was built by DJM Motorsport if that's of any interest to anyone, they're only down the road from me. Looks like they work on some high end projects now.

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
not sure if its a famous 5 or not, remember hearing that it had a cover slot on a mag and that it was used in insurance adverts as well i was told? PCS built car, now sat gathering dust for the last 2-3 years ive known it to sit still but still seems to be in good nick.
http://www.customcoachworks.org/664_...80769179238750
http://www.customcoachworks.org/664_...80769179238750

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
also know that this car used to be mega quick, dissapeared for a couple years and then i helped get it back on the road, it was in very good nick about 5-6 months ago when i last saw it, cracking car
how it used to look before it came off the road
http://www.customcoachworks.org/664_...80769179238750

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:

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
exactly what thought pretty damn pricey. I couldnt see if it even had the rear struts etc in situ

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
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!!

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 they did marry and Sona did her art work for another magazine (was it the same mag/publisher that Emma was working on?).
I did have a fantastic pic of her buffing the car at Donny 2002 and I can remember the little snip she put in Redline with Ralphy and cheesy comments *lol*)

Owned in the mag by a builder called John. Car had been fully resprayed in tungy, fitted with new side graphics and lowered nicely on O.Z superleggeras otherwise standard externally.
Who owns this car now? or does anyone know where it ended up?

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
carisma was jamie shaw, heard he went off the rails a bit towards the end of the pimp my ride days, see his company is still going strong but no mention of 5's, carismas website seems to just be offering custom interiors for prestige motors and 4x4's these days, no mention of its roots or the good ole days, shame as they did some nice work back in the day
-
Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
I spoke to Jamie Shaw recently and set him up as a trader on here. He was wondering about selling the silver 5 but to a club member rather than the general public.
The idea was to start a thread for interested parties to ask questions and talk about the sale and gauge a value for the car.
He now specialises in expensive interior refits to the Mercedes people carrier for wealthy executives and celebrities who want to chauffeured around in anonymous luxury.
This would be the car in post 13 of this thread?

good to hear he is still about and doing well, im surprised he would want to part with the 5 though, if i had invested that much work in a car and owned it that long you would have to prise the keys from my cold dead hand :laugh:

He said he owned nine cars and the 5 was just one them. He wanted to reduce the quantity a bit.

Chris the rather nice Tungy still belongs to Grant, he's not as active on the forums any more as I think he discovered girls though he does still update occasionally. Great work on that though he's gone a little too far for my taste.

Lovely car indeed, but famous?
Markey McMarkos - The last memory I have of Steve Rae's old car is that it was owned by a guy over Bristol way, who used to be a member of the old site. I can't remember his name, but I remember he took the car to the Nat' Day one year. I'll have a photo of it somewhere.
Tommy - The only thing your old 5 is famous for is being a bike :laugh:

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
Wow! been really interesting and brought back a lot of memmories reading all this, I remember lots of the cars, the Cossie 4x4 5 was in a magazine - performance GTI? and the A14 BBT, GT Tunings cars and Steve Rae's was the inspiration behind me buying mine...
As for the Delta bodykits, they are/were produced in Barnsley. Can't believe people would butcher 5's up with golf lights etc...

Cosworth 4x4 R5 was Bealo's. He's a good mate of mine but the only picture he can lay his hands on is this. Pity, he has great memories of the bad ol' days.
Anyone remember the R5 meet at Skeete's workshops. :laugh: Must be back in 1996 or so!:eek: I've got pictures somewhere. Have to dig them out.

Which? It would be nice but.......... The top photo is presumably when Duncan had it and though I still have that bubble my garage has no power so the silver bag as well as containing the 5 also has half a dozen 1kg packs of desiccant which depending on the temperature keeps the humidity in the 20/30's. And though I have no detailed proof that this works the brake discs come out as shiny and rust free as they went in.

I think that was owned by a chap called Lloyd Bush, his username on here was Bushy? He lived around the Bromley or Orpington area.
I'm not sure what happened to the red 5, but he had a white 5 afterwards and was running 11 ish second 1/4 mile?
The last I know the white one was being restored but this was several years ago.
Just had a quick search and found the following.

Good pics :agree:. Was looking at one of the Beaulieu pics and noticed the Talbot Matra Rachos in the back ground. Brings back memories of being dragged round the local car dealers with my old man as he wanted one back in the day. I am pleased to say he did however resist as it must surely be one of the ugliest cars ever made.

Kinda got the old 5 flame back! and have been looking through the classified for another. Although this will be a bit of a "Challenge" as a I live in Australia now.:)
Would really like to know what happened to my mates old motor. Absolutely loved this Famous 5 car. I believe, sadly, it was broken up (by some noob) for parts in 2010, and some of the old posts on this thread may have confirmed that. :(

Does anybody remember the
Silver Phase 1 that was modified by BBR to their Phase 3 conversion? was in Fast car i think and was meant to have over 200bhp and we are talking many years ago.
The conversion was very expensive if i remember correctly.
It was owned by a older bloke with a beard in the magazine article. Was always one of my favorite 5's
Would love to know what happened to that car

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
400bhp i assume you were running two c1js last time round, your lucky to get your old car back well done mate:agree: With the new engines i can only imagine the power your going to get, 2x scoffs 749bhp in a 5....scary:) i remember seeing the white one at the last ND now that was a piece of engineering work...looking forward to this project.

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???

Not necessarily famous but I remember a few threads about it at the time, a 5 associated with mike48, couldnt see any pics of it here. I remember the guy spent thousands on the build, sprayed it, and later turned out the shell was rotten. Pritty sure it was flip paint green.
Looking for the pictures of the manifold if anyone still has them? (used search function yes)
Not sure what would qualify a 5 as famous but I would say my favorite 5 GTT's from over the years, and opinion as to what should be remembered in years from now as stand outs, etched in the Renault 5 Bayeux Tapestry are:
-Scoffs beast of course,
-Stuart Clarke's
-Trusty white one for the history ect,
-Any cup car, more genuine the better, standard. in particular..
-The prima one yellow/black, not sure if was a rep or not, saw it at rockingham, blown away yes,
-Rowans old one, just cuz Edmund in a 5 is amusing image in my head, good history,
-Santani's from italy
-Andy Fandango's mostly white one, sick,
-Mudslinger white one, (lots of trick bits but never saw it run 1/4mile?)
-The first rwd 5, think it was tungy. (nocturnal maybe?)
Probably a couple more, but thats all I can think of right now.
:)

Looking for the pictures of the manifold if anyone still has them? (used search function yes)
Not sure what would qualify a 5 as famous but I would say my favorite 5 GTT's from over the years, and opinion as to what should be remembered in years from now as stand outs, etched in the Renault 5 Bayeux Tapestry are:
-Scoffs beast of course,
-Stuart Clarke's
-Trusty white one for the history ect,
-Any cup car, more genuine the better, standard. in particular..
-The prima one yellow/black, not sure if was a rep or not, saw it at rockingham, blown away yes,
-Rowans old one, just cuz Edmund in a 5 is amusing image in my head, good history,
-Santani's from italy
-Andy Fandango's mostly white one, sick,
-Mudslinger white one, (lots of trick bits but never saw it run 1/4mile?)
-The first rwd 5, think it was tungy. (nocturnal maybe?)
Probably a couple more, but thats all I can think of right now.
:)
I had the rwd of nocturnal developments for sometime done a bit of work stuck a 20v lump in it and changed the exterior appearance and interior aswell

Ah, that would explain it yes thx, just remember the manifold being quite nice, would'nt mind doing something similar, think it cost a grand possibly more. There was deffo a couple engine bay pics floating around that time, nevermind. There were lots of pictures lost from the old site for sure.

Yeah real nice James, like that. :agree: Interesting choice of engine.
Sure there was a twin engine project in london somewhere that looked like it had potential. Might have been from old site, liked the engineering involved or maybe the idea of building one.
Still more to come from the c1j from what i can see tho, be interesting to see what new parts get used or developed in the next few years, more efi 5's for sure, twin charged maybe, different fuels/turbos who knows.. just hope the scene keeps progressing pushing boundary ish.
