    hehe his creation... and yet to be fully put to the test but once i've put new rubber on her and a few other bits and bobs i'll be looking to get the limiter taken off and re-mapped to let her power lose

    God help us lol

    I do speak to Glen from time to time he's his usual sarky self lol

    I'll keep my eyes peeled

    You say the engine is finished, is that 78mm forged pistons, liners & C2L crank?

    yes indeed they were brought in from the States... more head work too, longer stroke, she can pull away in third lol,,, the torgue is amazing even with the limiter cutting in at just under 5k and shes at full boost at 2500k... just under a BAR

    will get it all turned up when shes re-mapped etc

    Thats a shame oh well time to get the thinking cap on,, maybe its better if i list what hasnt been changed lol

    erm the bodywork lol still a Sleeper

    She's barely a c1j now even the block is honed out to allow the longer stroke,,, Volvo crank,, forged pistons and steel rods from the states, ... the head is at its limit the turbo is custom made T25/T3 Cossie housing, fuel injected with Omex ECU and NOS.. Charge cooler/water injection,,, oh the list is getting longer lol

    oh suppose the gearbox is it comes from the factory lol

    Thing is least i can still say its a Renault 5GT Turbo modified and not like some say GT5 yet installed an engine from another car hehe
