hello everyone picked up my phase 1 5gt turbo on sunday and loving it so far got lots of plans for her, i think it may have been a members old car as it has a rtoc sticker in the rear window this is just a guess though but if anyones knows about the car just drop me a pm. hope to get to some meets and shows this year. im not using her as a daily as i have a few other cars but it has full mot and 6 months tax so just need to insure it when i get the chance. love the site seems to be very friendly and loads of info i have a few issues with the car so im gonna need some help im pretty good with cars and done up quite a few but this is my first 5 so its all learning from here Ive always loved the 5 gt turbos and so far im not disappointed but i suppose ive only had her for a day lol

heres a few pics after i got her home

cheers jamie

Welcome to the club, good luck with the car!
That engine must have iceicles hanging off it with that much scoop action!
Plenty of good standard seats floating around atm and you can get a bonnet off mike at gt turbo spares

Welcome, car looks great don't think I've ever seen a bonnet like that before? Maybe theres a reason for that?

[Romil Davda]

I like the bonnet by the way1

Get a carbon bonnet bud saves trying to match that paint up.. Unless you have the code for it that is? Welcome to the club

thanks for the comments people loving the car and site already seem very freindly compared to some other sites im a member of for my other cars. yes the bonnet is going straight away im not to bothered avbout the colour of the new bonnet as the car will be getting a full respray when the weather picks up, and ill get a project thread going when i get some more pics. underneath is solid no rust anywhere on the car which is one of the main reasons i went for it that and its a c reg dont seem to see many c regs unless thasts just me
