Good guys down there.

Pip was a great man to speak to when I went there. Really taken the time to explain stuff to me when I was asking about rotary engines. Very clever man.

i snapped a drive shaft on one of my old escorts and had it recovered to my dads 110 miles away. whilst on the journey there the recovery driver and myself got talking about cars and he told me he used to part own a company called 5-alive that tuned them. he told me they were the 1st to fit a clio engine into the R5 or something

love it. really awsome little motor

My old R5gtt was very quick, all the mods(21 had money to burn).... had the best front bumper on it: 4 fog light bumer looked standard as factory fitted. had a cheeky supercinq sticker on it

will find a pic and scan it.

sometimes when i accelerated it broke. but i always fixed it

Absolutely mental power.

I really like those F4R engines, shame the standard gearboxes were made for renault under license at the cadburys factory in birmingham.
