Cheers for the advice guys, will consider looking into standalone a bit earlier than expected if i can't get ECU and matching loom.

Windows disc and do a repair is your best option matey as it will/ should boot from the CD / DVD and then give you the option to repair. So turn PC on and place windows disc in CD / DVD drive straight away, once done if it doesn't boot from CD/DVD turn the PC off with the disc in the drive and...

It has been known for a long time about R&R's go to 1 then the next day go to another and the figures would be very different. The only way to get a an accurate idea of what power you are running is 1/4 mile times and terminal speeds,

You know it mate Sexy 5:rasp::D

Well I have made a start on the conversion and here is my progress :rasp: Yep it is just a sticker just getting all the bits together now hopefully collecting engine next week:D

Welcome to the forum

But still is that not just a case of not plugging in the drive by wire?? I am only pondering as I am putting a 172 lump into my R5 but I have not been able to obtain the loom yet.

Out of curiosity would any clio main engine loom from 99 - 56 loom befine for the 172 (F4R) engine???

:clown: Wonder if it has got the protecitve shield

195/45/15 - Yoko A539 have always been spot on for the R5 GTT even though I have proxies at the mo they are really rubbish in the wet

Powerflow exhaust's are brilliant I have powerflow made side exit on my R5 and as said above as soon as you hit about 70mph it roars big time on the C1J engine I am going to be doing the 172 conversion into the R5 and using the same side exit.

:hail:Aaaarrrgghhh sex wee:o I do love the R5's especially in Tungy that's why I have a tungy R5.

Looking very nice matey

Welcome to the forum matey there are a few other peeps from RTOC on here aswell matey.

Give it a good hard pull matey it will come of eventually. Had a similair thing on 1 of my R5's I ended up using a rubber mallet on the other side to assist removal.

Top job fella not to sure on the dash colour though.

I have used mobil 1 15w / 50 in my R5 GTT for the last 3 years with no probs if I change oil grade and use 0w / 50 she is a little tappy.

Sold it to a fellow of RTOC member matey his profile name is longy he is also took it with the VNT aswell (I am going to miss that engine as it was an extremely powerful lump and showed up alot of bigger cars:):clown:) I still kept a few bits like the radtec alloy rad & intercooler setup, 13...

A bit of a update C1J now out

No faith in the old R5 then?? Personally I would take the 5 matey:evil:

To be honest matey I have repaired loads of R5 GTT's with the clifford alarm and I always have problems with the clifford alarm activiating itself codes not working, even the lbue flash light used to drain the batteries etc..apparently they are prone to going tits up on any car though. I then...

Looking good Ivan keep up the good work. Cheers for the advice ref the 172 engine matey..

To be honest it has already been done a couple of times Ashy being 1 and I know of Scoff being another. But they have both been given me loads of great advice

Welcome to the forum :lolup:Fishcake

Cheers guys yeah the Tungy is my fav colour of all the GTT colours have tried to keep the bodywork as standard as possible. With regards to T25 / T28 Turbo's looks like I will be trying to ge hold of some cossie turbo where can you get hold of turbo ex manifolds for the 172 engine??

Well I have been a fan of the little R5 GTT for thr past 10 years I am on my 6th GTT and my best so far. I have pretty much done eveything that can be done to the little 4 cylinder push rod engine so have decided to stick with the shell of my R5 and change the engine to the 172 engine with the...

Jaffa's car is tungy matey and has been for some time

Welcome to the forum matey:)

Cheers. Yeah she is a nice R5 very quick managed 197.7bhp & 221Lbft of torque @16psi in March this year on the rolling roads @ Track nR oad in essex, she has been runing 22psi for the last 5 months so I would expect her to be around the 220 - 230bhp mark. All thanks to the VNT turbo
