What about Black Magic? kept appearing on eBay a while ago. Did that sell on?
as far as im aware carisma still has it so thats y i didnt put it on the list, defo alot of work gone into it tho esp that interiori loved that car, until it had chrome kit
The blue Ali G/carisma 5 was on eBay a few weeks back for 5k
is that defo fact or just whats been said along the grape vine ?
I heard engine destroyed itself on the rollers at 4psi
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.
this ones pretty worthless now its banned from the `Ring` for having too much `Bling`
wasn't the beast dd autosports?
What about the rest of them on the list ?
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.
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
the twin engine 5 is for sale.....................
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
Didn't Ashy have the beast a few years back ?
the beast was long before that, it was black. ashy had the raider.
I think the gearbox out of the purple car ended up in the new Ktec Mk2 clio ITB'd demo car.
so far we have workd out that :
ep twin engine 5 : owned by an RTOC member named Mark
k-tec purple 5: smashed up by drink driver

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.
what about the Raider owned by Steve Rae with the reg RAE 46M back in the day. was sold to some welsh guy. - whats happened to it now?
for those who forget or are too young....

is this not a famous 5 then, was at french car show looks friggin awsome imo
Hmmmmm NO and thats awful. The guy has obviuosly spent alot of money and time on the car and clearly has no taste (Sorry just not to my taste).
Thats sitting on a persons driveway waiting to be repaired as he lost his job and cant afford to do the work himself.
Hmmmmm NO and thats awful
Scoff was telling me how he was planning on doing something similar to his car.. We especially agreed on how he needed that awesome soundsystem. All bass and no treble
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

do you know if he wants to sell as isi have a buyer if he wants out
Not sure about that. Dont know how much damage is to the whole car, wheel came off whilst driving down the M4do you know if he wants to sell as is
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.
Project VIP?
The most famous of them all
There was also the Turbonator, remember that one, one of if not the first 5 with fuel injection.
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.
How about BBPT 5? is that still going?
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.
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.
