French Raider ie project !

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

hello ,

i'm going to present you my wife's Raider she restore by herself !!
It look like that when i met her for first time in 2006 :





Not too bad but i don't really enjoy white wheels !!!
As i still have some parts at home i decide to offer her a new set of rims and some other parts !!



isn't it better ?????!!!!




Efi engine :



at that moment it was a standard engine with a T2/T3 hybrid turbo, an Alliance inlet manifold and a double capacity intercooler

As we live near germany we've got the famous GREEN HELL at about 2 hours and a half driving , so she became a ring addict !!







At MALLORY PARK during an RTOC nat day




day after day the raider change !!






As she definitly loves the Ring we decide to make some modifications on the Raider :

- Adjustable Bilsteins
- cat cams 314 with cat cams spring valves
- T25/T3 hybrid turbo
- compression ratio 8,1:1
- PWR charge cooler
- Side exit exhaust system from Ktec
- set of new polished wheels (Compomotive 16")
- front Calipers from Megane sport 225
- Leather recaro seats



















































As it is now :












Hope you enjoy the report

sorry for my english .........

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

Alliance manifold

Hello Mart maybe you remember me at POD for a NAT DAY !! i'm Tristan's friend !!

and at this time i owned this 5 :



and you offer me an Aquamist Jet for the 1/4 mile !!!!!

it was the year we change a Clutch on the grass !!!!

[Trevhib]

i love it well done

If you were anything other than the absolute least popular member in this club, I'd be hurt by that.

You don't realise that Phil knows me well enough to throw some banter my way but then you don't know much full stop.

[romain-gtt]

So here it is :

Ahh, I remember now, sorry mate I didn't recognise the car, see

How is Tristan? Haven't seen or spoken to him in a very long while.

Good to see you guys still keeping the GT Turbo tuning vibe alive over there

Are you going to the big Belgium meet in early June next year?

[romain-gtt]

are you taking about the meeting organised by Xenon (a french guy register here ??) If Yes SURE i'll be there next year !!!!

and certainly tristan and others friend !!!!

Tristan still have his famous GTT !!!!! and we all still have the same addiction for this car !!


good to read you Mart hope to see you soon !
Maybe at Nurburg next Spring !!!!!!!

[Mart]

I think that's the same one - This one: https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=22925

It'll be good to see you all again

And yes, Nurburgring at Spring/sometime next year is a must

[The new Bill J]

Romain - I'm sure I've seen that car at the Nurburgring when I've been there

It's a lovely looking car , but the steering wheel is on the wrong side

[TOMTOM]

lovely car and well done romain. its given me more inspiration to really go for it on my raider.

[romain-gtt]

last pictures of 2011 !!

Hope you enjoy:














next year we are going to make some little changes on it to prepare it for the NAT DAY !!!!!
thinking of having a biggest liquid capacity for the charge cooler.
Maybe i'm wrong but i think that more liquid you have on the charge cooler system better is ths result for the admision temperature.

What do you think about that ??

I also wanted to give you thanks for all your coments about my wife's car ...

[HAndy]

looking good!!

with regards the charge cooler, that pwr has 19mm oultlets so keep all pipe work 19mm or slightly bigger, wrap the boost pipes/pwr in a reflective heat wrap, and get as bigger pre cooler as possible in the front, celica gt4 st205 runs a chargecooler as standard and a good sized factory pre rad, bike rads/small car radiators / aircon rads are another option,but the cores are theses units are not prob designed to run in lower temp ranges, where the celica gt4's unit will beapprox size 600x300
cant remember the outlet port sizes

hope that helps and keep up the great work
