Ebay bud! I got a red and blue setThat lot should keep you busy russ...., where did ya get your nut and bolt kit bud..
30 odd quid a set! Look
Nice little finishing touch!
Thinking of selling up! Or breaking!
Feeling very down about the 5! Damn thing is pissing me off
Needs soo much time and money putting into it don't think I've got effort in me anymore!!
It's a great build. Maybe your trying to do too much in one go? Just get it on the road it's more than capable as it is.
Agree with Tony - it is a great build
Believe me, it wasnt that long ago i was gonna get rid of mine..........time and money play a big part in a project - just dont put pressure on yourself to finish it?
It would be a shame if you did get rid of it, cause lets face it - you are gonna turn it into a beast
Ok I've been out for a beer to get away from it for a while, I think your right I've come to far and put to much money/effort inn to just get rid now! I need to concentrate on the important parts I need to sort out! I'm trying to hard to fast and it's getting to much!
Anyway I'm off for a night out (well needed)
Damn Renault 5's!!
Good lad, your Renault through and through! Just need to chill out and enjoy life without cars sometimes. Give it a few days👍Ok I've been out for a beer to get away from it for a while, I think your right I've come to far and put to much money/effort inn to just get rid now!

russ, as the lads have said, keep the faith, get the ole girl on the track as soon as you can , get the bug and the enthusiasism ..if that how you spell it..
I agree put the efi off for a little while and enjoy the car as is, first trackday i did was in an old xr3i on coilovers stripped but std otherwise, had an amazing time sliding it round. you make a car too good its not necessarily more fun... y slide a car round at 100 when you can do it at 60?russ, as the lads have said, keep the faith, get the ole girl on the track as soon as you can , get the bug and the enthusiasism ..if that how you spell it..
i was reading thinking "fecking awesome" then see the "getting rid"......
dont be daft dude, enthusiasm does get lost from time to time but honestly,keep at it and that first lap round a track
dont give up mate
Thanks for the lovin guys
I'm trying to run before I can walk!
I keep moving the goal posts further away each month, I've got enough to be doing before I buy or start anything else! Although I'm loving the look of these willwood brake pedals! Lol
On a serious note all it really needs is a larger turbo, a good tune up, rear torsion bar dropping and my r888's fitting! Do a track day get a feel for it then go from there!
Thanks guys

It's just covered up feeling sorry for its self!

Ay come on leave my "little man" out of this! Jesus!
Well I've decided to put the 5 project on hold! Its going into storage for a while! I can't keep spending ££££'s on it every month! So dry storage it is, going to declare it sorn and maybe come back to it in a few months or years!
Just do it in stages mate, unless you have deep pockets its not cheap to build a sorted gtt. You could defo enjoy it for a few trackdays as it is.
Looks the part! Is it coming out to play at Oulton on Friday?
looking good
know how you feel, it does get you down sometimes ,but keep up the good work, will be worth it in the end, as others have said, enjoy the engine as it is , and just tweek the handling, that alone will make a huge difference on track. and next year or the year after that then do the engine,mine was only suppose to take a year..............4 years later
love the spoiler idea, in the process of designing some adjustable water cut alloy brackets made up with rose joints to adjust deflection angles, will give you a pm nearer the time if your up for a set
Ok happy new year for starters!
My cars been sat now for a few months, so the other day I got bored and thought hmmm what else can I do with the old gal?!
Well....
She now has no engine!
And a huge hole cut in the boot floor!!!
Yep I've gone insane! I've decided the ultimate mod is mid engine and rear wheel drive!!!
So all there is to do now is fit it in the rear!
Can anyone advise?? Pictures?? Looks quite easy!
Thanks guys.
i have just read your project thread its a really nice car looks great. have you any pictures of what you have done with the hole in boot floor
Hole in floor? pick it up and run for some extra horses
If your still going down the track car route you will spend a lot of time driving backwards as the car will be spinning all over the place,depending on balance ,power etc good rally car though
Yeah I've cut the entire rear floor out!
Tomorrow I'll temp fit the entire front end under the back, I'll post some pics soon! This needs to be completed in a month as I've got a track day book for the end of feb!
List of stuff I need if anyone has any of this pm me please!!
Sub frame
Front brake calipers, discs, pads
Front coilovers
Front wheel hubs
Thanks
I always wanted to get my arse out!If your still going down the track car route you will spend a lot of time driving backwards as the car will be spinning all over the place,depending on balance ,power etc good rally car though
You my friend are madYeah I've cut the entire rear floor out!
This needs to be completed in a month as I've got a track day book for the end of feb!
It takes me around a month to change a headlamp bulb!
Really hope you get it done dude. That's a tall order though isn't it?
Best of luck
