Hi guys and gals

Excuse the name and the car I knw its not a ford, the name was supposed to say bigboost not bigboot lol any way Im a member on here because you ford lads gave me loads of inspartation towards my project and one day I will own a either a escort costworth or a sapphire cosworth  any way don’t hate me to much for doin this cos iv bit the bullet just now lol n gone n done it, (hides for cover awaiting the abuse)

This is my project an original Renault 5 dimma, not the skeete kit or prima racing but an original dimma (just get sick of all the wide arched ones on ebay bin dimmas when there not) enjoy the build














This is how I got her. Couple of thing to sort mainly the dredfull French wiring lmao










then I stripped her out fitted cobra buckets and that’s how she was for a while, power wise?? I dnt knw ktec set it up for 18psi on a t25 but I don’t trust previous owners so I turned the boost down for now to bout 10 psi well within what a standard carb can cope with. Then I hit some boosting problems at 2k comeing on boost it would splutter n nearly cut out, I swapped the modded carb for a standard one of my raider and it sorted it but again turned boost down to bout 8 psi

some plonker had fitted a surfboard to the front of the bumper so I removed, and added a ctm open mouth grill which looks wired in a pinky gold flip, and decided to go fmic.












Should help the little ones cooling issues the got some hard boost pipes but still haven’t got round to getting my silicones yet. This is how she sits atm moment, well sort of anyway





After a hard night at work ive decide on my color scheme 

Main body and centre of wheels will be ford panther black

All brackets and various other stuff and outer lip of wheels will be Chrysler sbe

Along come some Renault 21 txe discs 285



And the brackets to suit

Freshly painted in the color of choice 





Only to find the calipers catch on the edge of of my rims, so that mod is on hold for now and standard go back on for now

Which brings me to this week if started to strip the under neath ready for painting







Tank off



Going to be rplaced by a jaz fuel cell

Rear beam stripped and is at the powder coaters





As well as a lot of other bits n bobs



Got my first parts painted in the blue









And started stripping down another block for a rebuild  with forged rods n pistons













More updates to come. Hope it’s a good read and don’t slate me to much
