    My J Reg 5 GT Turbo in glacier white :)

    Hi everyone. Never really introduced myself and spent most of my time on here in the classifieds! I bought my first 5 GTT last January

    Say hello to Raggy (now owned by another RTOC member Matt)



    I did love Raggy although he needed a lot of work on him. Being completely inept at mechanics I got a haynes and some spanners and met Sparkie (I owe many thanks too!) through this forum

    I went through copius amounts of drive shafts, changed everything other than the engine on him then went a bit mad and stripped him out stuck a cage in and decided to use him as my daily driver lol. I found him quite tempremental but when i finished with him he was a solid car.

    An ex member off here (Andy Thompson) happened to be a family friend and he had a J reg 5 that had been sat his drive for a few years. I was just thinking about selling Raggy when he offered it to me! It was an offer I could not refuse! It was completely standard with a full interior and newly built engine. Had lots of little nice additions in the engine bay.

    I fitted a 2 1/2 inch down pipe, and 2 1/2 inch side exit. A GT28r running 20psi with a pace IC and Sparkie set my carb up for me

    There were a lot of little jobs I got around to sorting. With thanks to some members on here for bits! Front bumper was mashed up as it had had a meeting with a speed bump when andy owned it. I sorted most the little jobs out and just have some rust around the windscreen left to do.

    I put some OZ 5 spoke alloys (running 195/45/15 rainsport 2's) on to replace the team dynamics black alloys and I think they look great.

    It's rare being a J but most were white or grey. No shame there, two fantastic colours.

    Love the wheels and ride height. Looks like a nice car

    And I am the proud owner of Raggy (it's Matt if you hadn't guessed)...a very solid little 5. I'll have to pop back up to see you in the summer mate when I've got him back to standard.

    Nice pic of them both together
