Thanks mate the water pipes also run between the inner and outer passenger wing so pipe work is kept cool then comes into the scuttle straight on to the c/cooler

[chris]

Thats a good idea was it difficult to fit?

[chris]

Rite I have just spoken to forge and they have been brilliant and really helpful I am going to send them pictures and they are going to work with me I will keep you updated on whats going on but so far they have been very good

[philr5t]

The pump rad and pipes were easy to fit but I had to get work done on the cooler to make it fit in the scuttle mate this was because I dine away with the filler bottle and has it built straight into the main tank

[TopCat]

Your 5 is looking tough as hell mate. I like the campus grill- prefer em
To the gt turbo one

[chris]

Cool ok well I hope they get it fixed for you buddy, I was thinking of getting a gt turbo grill for my project, but I think ill stick with the campus one as well

[chris]

Forge came today and pick up the car on time and as promised

[Duncan Grier]

good stuff

Why do you not have 2 days of constant rain which I have here LOL

Nice trailer although from experiance of using the space shuttle ones dont half drag a lot more than open ones. And worried it was going to get stolen all the time lol

Should be a cracking car when finished

[chris]

well I haven't updated this thread lately due to my dad having a stroke and lots of other things I kind of lost enthusiasm as he was the one helping me do the car. but I have managed to start chipping away at it again and hopefully I am not to far away from finishing also mike at gt turbo spares has been extremely helpful as has scotty and Dan {R5 beatty} so big thanks to you guys. so I have managed to put the half cage in and all the interior and all the glass is back in. in time I will replace the front seats but for now its more than manageable so heres a couple of pics where I am up to nowhttp://

I haven't updated this thread in a while. but i have still been busy tidying things up. i have fitted a new strut brace sorted some issues i had with wireing also got my new wheels machined and fitted i am really pleased how it looks. Had the bonnet resprayed again due to me dropping it so that was an expensive mistake. now next is some number plates and sort the ride height out and then off to mot

[Nad-5GTT]

[Gtturbo]

Love them wheels matey

What are they?

[Trevhib]

Those wheels are rock hard! Awesome. Are they Zenders?

Once it's lowered at the front a bit more this will look fantastic. Crying out for an OE grille tho.

[chris]

[Jonny5]

Well hello sexy...
Looking amazing mate all that hard works paying off!

[chris]

Thanks for comments guys

[chris]

It's been a little while since I updated my thread been busy with work and other peoples cars so mine just sat in garage. But this weekend I dragged it out the garage and took it for MOT. Which it then failed because the horn stuck on . So I sorted that and then he passed it so all good. I have also changed the headlights back to original and I am pleased I did. I have put a few miles on it now but today it started going really lean on part throttle but I suspect it's just crap in carb nothing too serious. I will put some pics up of it at test station and at home with new headlights

[chris]

During the test

[Mr Raider]

Niceone mate, good work! another one back on the road, - roll on summer

[Jonny5]

Brilliant stuff chris

[Slammed 66]

Tell them about the 'cat' test

[chris]

Tell them about the 'cat' test

Yes they also wanted to know why I had removed the catalytic converter as they were trying to understand while it was failing emissions.

[Jimmy5]

Lovely, credit to you for making this 5 so lovely again! Hope to do similar to mine this year!

[chris]

Thanks for comments guys

[bood]

Sterling work their sir

[chris]

heres some photos i took today of the car finished i am thinking of selling it but i am still undecided

[Brigsy]

Looks sweet on the zender's. Just keep it and enjoy in summer. Everybody wants to sell up in the crap weather lol.

Ps do away with that plastic inline filter to the carb, its for low pressure use. Could go tits up on boost and game over.
