EXACTL:Y what GT Tuning used to do on their Renault 5 Turbo ones.

Used to be a stock Bosch one with metal bracing either end and a GT Tuning sticker over the Bosch markings.
And theyd charge like, 300quid

Thats not a genuine one though, thats the point. He did that. Good idea, but its not how the GrpA ones had it.

cheers for posting the pics, mag sump probably helped a bit, i know we didnt look into it too much, just noticed the difference when tring to offer up that manifold, and then noticed the crafty buggers had dropped the engine.

as i said above, im sure you wouldnt be able to get that fuel pump on the cam cover otherwise.

wasnt is only the rouse built cars that had this martin?

so maybe only rouse dropped the engine?

the eggenber car looks a bit lower than standard,

but to know for sore how much i would have to measure it, but he does use different engine mounts again like rouse from standard ones,

just like the ggr car has different ones again,

so this part must have been free for the different teams to design and make.




and just to make it interesting all four of my sierra have different rear suspension/ beam ect
