Nah...Every time i see 'This' five i want it! Most 5's are buckets to be frank!
They are GT3 replica's .. really top quality and super light.. I did get to test for them... but fooked up my measurements so need the mounts re-fab'd.
Thanks for the cool replies! Cant wait to get the rest finished off... with the flooring/seats.. unsure about a black safety devices rear cage? (but wont be happening soon)
I started out wanting to ring out as much power as i could.. but gone for reliabilty over a tyre shredder! and just lightend the car up to under 800kg

Am i right in saying standard these made 130bhp?
Very nice example mate, kudos!

Dan, I think they were around 120bhp, back in the 80's.. that was a nippy hot hatch 7.5 secs 0-60

So when she is setup what do you think she will be running?
It was 176bhp last time at 18psi.. a few years ago on worn parts. Possibly 180-190bhp @ 20psi. I think the car weighs around 780kg with the carbon seats and stripped... so the power to weight will be around 230-240bhp.
There are a lot more powerful 5's.. but I want this to last a while

Finally got the seats in... they look as well as I hoped for and happy with 'em (2nd time lucky with the mounts). The difference from the standard bouncy cotton seats is in a different league now.. not sure about harnesses? I know they look cool.. but this will be road use, do I really need them?
I'm going to take a trip to KTec next month and get the engine tuned /set up now its all run in... hope to see a bit more performance up to a tad over the 200bhp mark after speaking to David. I have a new charge cooler kit i got from Ktec a while ago and i'll stick the large green cone on the turbo to suck in a bit more air flow.
Here are the seats now there in..

Excellent work very clean and tidy.
Not keen on the colour (Pearl white or Raider Blue would be my choice) or the wheels or the seats - but that's just personal preference.
I must admit I had Pearl white for a couple of years... (this is my 5th 5gtt) when I polished that thing it sparkled so many colours in the sun.. purples and blues in the paint! people that didnt give a s**t about cars used to just admire that thing.
good call mate

A collector would snap that up double quick in a few years for plenty monies in the condition!
Thanks kind sirs! good to get feedback on what u all think
Andy... u got that spot on.. I didnt realise how pants they looked till I took them off last month.. I think it looks a lot better now..
the idea was the protect the paint fron chips...but it looked lame..lol.
I fitted 285mm disks and found the wheels have a strange lip inside like a split wheel.. so had to remove those disks and just waiting to put some others on that should fit better that are anodised silver so will stay looking minty fresh!
Hi dalla.. I hear u... but I like to be different.... Turbines have been done and dusted so many times already. These look much better than the pics can show really tbh.. the polished lip looks good against the black and you then see the polished brakes behind them too, with better brakes going on soon will set them off more.
