BUT bit has turned out to be a RIGHT wallet rapper!!!!!!!





Well theres a front brake disc,so you get the general idea!!

So far,had to buy a new turbo,new brakes all round,4 new wheels and tyres,Grp A headgasket,AND STILL got to respray it,mount my cossie 2wd cooler on the front,cossie air filter,cossie fuel pump,Grp A carb,suspension,and loads more...

But cheers to whippy,as he`s give me some stg 3 head,and a 4 inch scorpion for it!!!

Heres a few shots as it stands in me garage at the mo...

FUCKED,but if youve seen my other cars,it will look great,and hopfully go well when its done...

Aye, we never told the insurance that the life policy was just for your motorbike........so it will still be valid when you smash yourself to bits in the 5

Come on the half a million quid each!!

This ought ot be interesting - you never see any R5 GT on the road anymore. No Astra GSI MKII, No Uno turbo, No Calibra or Cav GSi 16v's. Looks like only the RS have stood the test of time!

I do kind of like R5 turbos for some reason. Thinks the noise of them when you are inside the car is quite cool and they are light, very light so dont crash it

No worrys mate,but if you bend it you mend it,so you best have Ł170 ready,cause il be knockin your door!!!!

Jake,, Ive just fitted a GT Tuning Gp a set up on it,so as long as its set up right (which it WILL BE) it aint blowin for shit,unless sumthing mechanicly goes wrong..

Dan, I know mate,he txtd me a few days after buying it.. To be honest,i wouldnt have it back,ok im with a LOT WORSE car now than the 3dr,but as ive said in the past,and il say again,i have ALOT MORE fun building a car,then driving it...STUPID i know,but ohhh well,thats just my STUPID mentality!!!!

P.S Im soooooooooooo sorry i mnever sent you that spec list,want me to do 1 tonight for you??
