Good old mike delivered my new project last night, a H plate tungston grey 5.

At the pressent it sits on the drive looking very sorry for its self as a bare rolling shell.
The plan with this on is to keep it fully striped out as a road legal track car. The biggest problem will be what is going to power it. I was going for a fast road C1J until me and markymark thought it would be a good idea to see what else can fit under the hood

! oh well i guess time and money will deside.

Its going to be a long old slog so here goses nothing !

if i was in for a engine swap i think the 1.8 16v would be a nice drive, done before, turbo'd before.. or if i wasn't gonna turbo it perhaps just a williams lump and a williams wide track front..

if i found an engine for the right price 172

i was thinking a 16v with throtle bodies etc a while ago, but were thinking of something that hasnt been done before. If only a vax. red top was not so hard and pricey !

Dude, if you're going for something really different... see if a SR20 engine will fit

Whatever happens I know this'll be a good one

yes geeza good to see you back in a 5 dont f about stick a v8 in and sit behind it before someone beats you to it

im afraid the project have come to a quick ending as she needs alot of welding which i dont have the time to do !

dose anybody want to take the shell off my hands ? Mike still has the log book so we would have to post this off to you, come on you know you want to..............

redtop shouldnt be too hard really. and you can get them for around £150-200.
i used to have a corsa with a redtop on tbs. sounded awesome and had 250bhp to go with it
