[Inferno]

Anyone fancy a fast 5? Bet it's quick, but nearly £12k?! Ouch.

I love it !! Pricey, but it looks to have had a lot spent on it.

Id want a bigger fire extinguisher than the one he has

 

[T26TGT]

Duncan Grier's old 5.......with my old wheels!

Wasnt this at French Car Show this year? Im sure I saw it racing around the track?

Bought n0rms Clio TT, and a pretty nuts Williams IIRC. He's on here too. It's been in PFC a few times... awesome motor. A lot of money though.

Saw this at RWS. Impressive. The only renault conversion to be mounted on the subframe as far as I am aware.


Edit: Oh and the figures are ridiculous. 320bhp from a K04 and stock manifold PSML!! the other 300bhp figure is also surely too much for that setup. 285-290 tops tbh.

its not even running that mate, my good mate Scoff built that car for another one of my mates duncan, the current owner bought it of duncan for 11k.

Has for the power figures the current owner is giving out, well there complete bollox!! the car is running circa 260hp @15 psi of boost.

awesum car, altough the shell needs quite a bit of TLC, obviously not worth anyware near the 12k hes asking for it.

1989 Bucket tbh. 12k worth of crack would be better spent.

not at all, depends if you like engineering at its best, and value a car for more than its age

Yeah I see your point and tbh if I had the money I would probably pay 10k+ for a mint racing puma or a series 1 RST.

Age isn't everything I just think it's a bag of issues.

 

[n0rm]

agree on the series 1 RST, my bro had one from brand new (C reg) i loved that car, shame it was stolen 6 months later, then to be found in many bits

My mate has one in his garage, in bits, but is too bloody lazy to get it put back together! Love the S1's, there was a black one (1 of 3 iirc) for sale at Ford Fair this year, wanted sooo badly!

cummon, your having a larf! It'd be a really good crack this lil 5.

But why must people lie so so hard about figures?? :dapprove:
N0rm, I am right in saying that it's the only conversion mounted on the subframe right?

Its actually a golf MK2 sub frame modified mate, Scoff still has the JIG

 

[Ian_182]

Great effort and a good looking car.

However he is still at least 7k over budget.Its an old car that has been thrashed to death and on a rebuild.

For the same money you could buy an original nut and bolt resto mk1 escort RST with 20k on the original engine and 2 owners.

This guy just wants you to pay his credit card off...

Looks fun, but pretty pricey. How well did the std engines hold together on these? They pretty sturdy?

 

[Timmay]

i bet its fun to drive
