    I think I need a set of 15's. I'm struggling to find decent 45 series tyres

    I've still not finished my surge tank setup, I have to make sure my car stays at over 1/2 tank and its fine.

    Got few things to sort out before pod now

    • Fuel tank breather's (Pump clicks constantly when filling now),
    • campus filler neck fitment
    • Surge tank setup,
    • Front camber bolt fitment and setup,


    I had to raise the car 10mm for clearance of the 50 profile tires and even then they catch, whilst i raised I fitted the new koni rear dampers

    Main reason for going 50 was the lack of 45 choice

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    I run 5mm spacers on the front just to give me a little clearance on the coil overs as I run a 10" spring for full damping benefit. The rears don't scrub at all but I am still on 40 series tyres. I'm not bothered about ride height as long as it clears speed bumps and handled well.

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    Few pics, change of plan with surge tank bought another kit mounted it in boot, just easier, now have an 044 lift pump and and 044 supply pump hopefully this will get rid of the half tank fuel starvation issue I was suffering with previously.

    Raised the car 10mm for clearance on the new 50mm profile tiles, whilst at it I fitted the new koni dampers I have had for years. Had the car tracking all re-done and fitted some camber bolts at front aswell. Car feels and drives so much better now.

    Hopefully be ready for pod very soon, bonnet currently at bodyshop for repairs

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    few changes finally sorted my coolant issues turned out both gauge sensor for gtt clocks not working and the ecu sensor aswell all done and all fine.

    Carbon bonnet fitted,
    New clutch fitted,
    Broke the clutch support on first attempt to drive the car :-( now looking at making a support bracket that comes of the gearbox main bolts and other places, keeps bracket in std place but secured in a few places and braces to stop it pivoting o n the thin upper bit of the bracket

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    Small update as I destroyed my Jc5 130 box recently I have decided to clean and replace a few parts, recently purchased a clio Williams sub frame setup apparently triple skinned. Benefits are the rad has a nice slot to sit in now which it didn't have on the gtt frame. Had the frame and subframe brackets all cleaned and powder coated. Gloss red frame and gloss black brackets, Ill be taking a few more parts over to the powdercoaters in new year

    the engine bay will be getting a spray job in the next month by GTTurbo spares

    Re: James5 with Yet another GTT

    Awesome that James! Probably something I'm going to do in the future although I can't change my subframe as it's heavily modded for the ndo gearbox and radiator clearence. I might pull it off and seam weld it all to stop flexing. I guess that's why your going 16v subframe?

    What gearbox are you replacing the j series with?

    Cheers Matt, I've got a jc5 129 box I am going to use with a quaife diff, I just don't see the point in changing to the o2m when I have seen a fair few fail now on the clio turbo conversion's the same way a JC5 goes.
