ep twin engine 5 : owned by an RTOC member named Mark
scoffs rear engine silver 5: It had a makover, electric blue with a Volvo engine. Sold to a VAG enthusiast in the midlands who I believe is converting it to accept a VW motor.
The purple car from K-tec was sold to a lad round this way that I met at a bbq last summer, he smashed it pissed up, he gave 10 large for the car without the gearbag:rolleyes:
the twin engine 5 is for sale.....................
I think chris still has his EFI car, it did crap itself on the rollers while being mapped(destroyed the bottom end). As far as I know the car is still complete and just sat in a garage somewhere, it was repaired just needs mapping I think.
As for the beast, I think the car was stripped, the shell was sold to someone I know and is now on the road as a complete car
Didn't Ashy have the beast a few years back ?
the beast was long before that, it was black. ashy had the raider.Quote:

I think that was broken for bit's as a bloke in Brighton called Alex (ex RTOC member)purchased the car as a non runner with the intention to use the engine in his 5 then his 5 got broken into and alot of stuff was taken and he ended up selling up as he had enough he went down the Skyline route. So from memory it's parts are all over the country.Quote:

The engine and box were stripped and the Red shell with body kit had a standard engine fitted and sold with the standard five engine and box.
The Turbonator engine and box sat in the workshop for near on 5 years, there was a shell that was stripped, sand blasted, totally rebuilt with body kit in light blue and was half rebuilt before i stopped doing any work on it.
The Turbonator engine and box sat in that the last time i saw it, it did not go with the Turbonator shell ect thats for sure.
In fact James it was built in a garage that was only 2 miles down the road from you in Small Dole called Trans4mations.
If memory serves me right he said he got it with a blue shell but as a non runner he did have picks uploaded on the old RTOC site.
Small Dole crikey that's a stone throw away from me.
Yes and the garage was knocked down and now has houses on the site, when we catch up ill tell you all about it.Quote:

If money was thrown at it and it was done right it would have become a nice five and when it ran correctly it was very very fast.
Was just thinking of some othersQuote:

Carisma's first car
Europarts single engined 5
Turbo Pac's black 5
Greg Larkins peach gt
David Kirk's original tungy
Also was trying to think of some old feature cars too from the 90's, wonder if anyone has one of them.
Was trying to find a picture of a certain renault 5, and come across this one :eek:
http://s.bebo.com/app-image/79255820...5_gt_turbo.jpg
Still trying to work out if it is a 5 or not :confused:
I owned the orange Europarts single engined 5... its now just a shell and pete@backyardracing has bought it from me with plans to make a track car from it
winston was that the one you had the throttle bodied Clio engine in?? Did you ever complete the build??
Thats not the one i was thinking of mate, yours as there drag shell they had. One i'm thinking of is an E-reg road legal car, used to be owned by Char off here.Quote:

Sparkie, that was Stu Beals motor. That's going back to my very early years of R5GTTOC. About 1996 if I remember right. :eek: I've just re-met Stu this year as we both have M3 CSL's now. He still really misses that car. Still has some nice pictures of it. As far as I know the shell was scrapped. Anyone know any different?Quote:

Did think about it for 10mins with Scoff when building my FAMOUS VAG R5 :P lol currently with Paul (Minty83)

i used to love the steve rae r5, but it hasnt aged well and these days i think it looks hideous
would love to have been round when the **** used to hit the fan tho :cry:
steve rae's website, as mentioned before on this thread in an invisible post. :laugh:
http://www.steverae.force9.co.uk/
and have a look at the list of names on the performance section of his site - russell thorpe at the top, im at number 15! - even willday is in there! :agree:
And spot the noticeable absentee, although that's probably due to Steve & I have many a heated discussion back in the day :wasntme: ;)
Remember when the Bridge brothers (BB Tuning) very nearly came to blows with Steve at an old Chelsea/Battersea Park meet-up :laugh: Now that is going back many years!
Who was the Irish big GT Tuning customer who was also well up his own ass?
Great days! :D

There was a green skeete kitted 5 on pistonheads a few months back, not sure it was the same one, fairly sure Danny Fernell's silver 5 is also dead and buried

What I think its worth is not a lot. To get that looking anywhere decent enough to drive about you might as well buy another one. The interior is shocking and the wheels will not make it a fun car to drive. If its a show car you are after though, or for keep a piece of history then maybe 3.5k at most, but I dont see the point in a car like that.
a car like that is only worth what's someone is prepared to pay for it, looked ok 15 years ago but I personally wouldn't be seen dead driving it about, maybe I'm just getting old :D

The front bumper is so deep and low that it makes the rest of the car look like its been jacked up, look at how high it sits compared to the front bumper, it just does not look right to me.

:sad2: The only wide arch 5 i have really ever wanted (contemplated on buying it last time) and now it looks like that!
Thats a real shame, did look nice before untill that stupid bumper was fitted.
It was on pistonheads 6 months ago for £3500 :eek:
Its gone rapidly down hill since then :dearme:

This is an excellent thread its really good to see the history of the famous 5's, there are and have been some really special cars mentioned above.
It really gives you the driving force to appreciate these cars even more so...
Keep the pictures coming if any of you have them from back in the day FANTA'5'TIC :)
well done RTOC.

Thanks to this I've just bought B5GTT from John at GT Tuning.
It's still exactly the same spec as it was in the last max power article, and although it's been stored for years its in amazingly good condition.
I plan to use it pretty lightly (but enough to keep it good) as I've got a gtr for daily use now.
Any tips for who to insure it with?
how old are you? if your over 25 phone around for classic with agreed valuation.Quote:

It's good to see that it's resurfaced, and I hope to see it one day. Slaterd, hurry up and get it insured, and bring it to our National Day next weekend at Mallory Park :D
i remember back when i was younger a purple 5 with golf headlights and a split rear screen, i loved that look at the time.
You lucky sod! always wanted B5 GTT, could we be cheeky enough to ask how much you bought her for??? :sos:
I remember Roly tried selling it years back for a crazy amount. I can't remember the exact figure, but I remember it being typical of GT Tuning's usual pricing structure :DQuote:

Thanks! I won't say how much just to be fair to John, but I'm very pleased with it.
It looks pretty well how it did 10 years ago.
See pic attached, I'll add more once I get it back from getting it's MOT and stuff done.
I won't get a chance to bring it next weekend, but definitely next time..
i still think gt tuning gears some of the best thats ever seen a renault 5 when it comes to aftermarket gear.. well built, well styled that worked with the original parts and styling, not against it like kombat kits etc..
prices were:eek: but still even now alot of it can't be bettered, only copied..

I remember a good few year ago there was always a picture of this red gtturbo on the rtoc sighn in page. It was really low and had the big rtoc sticker on the rear window
Does anyone know if this is stil on the road, don't have any pics on my phone but il upload wen I'm on my computer
I think the black Cosworth 5 was built by DJM Motorsport if that's of any interest to anyone, they're only down the road from me. Looks like they work on some high end projects now.
not sure if its a famous 5 or not, remember hearing that it had a cover slot on a mag and that it was used in insurance adverts as well i was told? PCS built car, now sat gathering dust for the last 2-3 years ive known it to sit still but still seems to be in good nick.
http://www.customcoachworks.org/664_...80769179238750
http://www.customcoachworks.org/664_...80769179238750
should make an appearance next year on the roads if all goes well.
also know that this car used to be mega quick, dissapeared for a couple years and then i helped get it back on the road, it was in very good nick about 5-6 months ago when i last saw it, cracking car
how it used to look before it came off the road
http://www.customcoachworks.org/664_...80769179238750
how it looks now, kicks round falkirk area (mudslinger thats the one that people thought was your one when u put that post up mate)

Yeh I remember this one, it was always in the back of maxpower etc advertising modified car insuranceQuote:

not sure if its one of the famous 5s listed here but i think there is a twin engine europarts rolling shell for sale on ebay, cant get the auction up on my mobile.
I see that on ebay, it looks like another shell that has been modified for rear/twin engine set up but thats all nothing else been done to it. Bare shell aswell.Quote:

One I remember from back in the day was an E plate Electric Blue Ph2 with White multispoke alloys, was at the 3 sisters track day I went to in my 1st 21T (that I broke on the day!!) and was also at one of Moggys RR days in Wrexham. Seem to remember it having NOS and quite a bit of power!!!
Sparkie should remember him coz I'm sure this Blue car just pipped his to the post for the highest BHP (awaiting to be shot doen in flames!!)
Think it belonged to a lad called Lee?? Short guy with a goatie, may have been from Liverpool??
Sure I've got some pics somewhere, will try and dig them out.
As for Steve Rae, I remember him turning up at Moggys RR day, giving it the 'big I am' then leaving.....never met such a tool in all my life!!

my dad owned this car for years he paid £7000 many years ago ,we did take it to a max power show in doncaster were it was parked next to a blue wide arched one,he never took it out in the rain always garaged,he was really anal with it used to take the bolts out the splits and polish them every week lol sure it was on ebay for bits not long ago..
Real shame but think this car is gone now:sad2:Quote:

it is a shame i loved that car,he sold the car in about year 2000 the year i started secondary school he let it go for £2500 with no mot as he needed the money,he always says to this day you never realise how good your car looks until someone drives it away lol
I was lucky enough to know the first customer Francis Skeete had for this kit. John had it done in Pearl white and it looked the nuts....I then saw this for sale very locally to me and had a good look round it...The magazine article was superb! It had a big effect on me...:agree:Quote:

Some quality 5's in this thread,great to see them again :)
I found an old copy of PFC when sorting through my shed this morning with a very tidy BB Performance Tuning EFi converted Tungy featured.
Owned in the mag by a builder called John. Car had been fully resprayed in tungy, fitted with new side graphics and lowered nicely on O.Z superleggeras otherwise standard externally.
Who owns this car now? or does anyone know where it ended up?
If i remember that car got broken for bits or at least the engine did, could be wrong but do remember the carQuote:

carisma was jamie shaw, heard he went off the rails a bit towards the end of the pimp my ride days, see his company is still going strong but no mention of 5's, carismas website seems to just be offering custom interiors for prestige motors and 4x4's these days, no mention of its roots or the good ole days, shame as they did some nice work back in the day
I spoke to Jamie Shaw recently and set him up as a trader on here. He was wondering about selling the silver 5 but to a club member rather than the general public.
The idea was to start a thread for interested parties to ask questions and talk about the sale and gauge a value for the car.
He now specialises in expensive interior refits to the Mercedes people carrier for wealthy executives and celebrities who want to chauffeured around in anonymous luxury.
This would be the car in post 13 of this thread?
'Tractor Trev' who worked for ktec owned a car of that colour and he and it appeared in magazines and did some times at the Pod that were fast back then. He also held the record for a while driving the DD autosports black 5GTT.Quote:

Chris the rather nice Tungy still belongs to Grant, he's not as active on the forums any more as I think he discovered girls though he does still update occasionally. Great work on that though he's gone a little too far for my taste.

Tommy - The only thing your old 5 is famous for is being a bike :laugh:
Wow! been really interesting and brought back a lot of memmories reading all this, I remember lots of the cars, the Cossie 4x4 5 was in a magazine - performance GTI? and the A14 BBT, GT Tunings cars and Steve Rae's was the inspiration behind me buying mine...
As for the Delta bodykits, they are/were produced in Barnsley. Can't believe people would butcher 5's up with golf lights etc...

Not famous as such, but does anyone remember clarkey off the old site ? Guy from up Swindon way. Last i remember he had hit a deer, then put the car off the road to start up his business (spray by design). Anybody ever hear from him ?
I can remeber a gt turbo that hasn't been listed. It was in the usual magazines back in the day...
Pearl white, dimma, silver prima racing style 17in alloys 7 or 8 spoke, quad lights, multicoloured (red, blue, green, yellow) patchwork interior inc steering wheel
Owned by an asian lad
It was on a stand at Doncaster race course back in 1997. Anyone know the car or got anypics?

I think that was owned by a chap called Lloyd Bush, his username on here was Bushy? He lived around the Bromley or Orpington area.Quote:

The last I know the white one was being restored but this was several years ago.
Just had a quick search and found the following.

Good pics :agree:. Was looking at one of the Beaulieu pics and noticed the Talbot Matra Rachos in the back ground. Brings back memories of being dragged round the local car dealers with my old man as he wanted one back in the day. I am pleased to say he did however resist as it must surely be one of the ugliest cars ever made.
Cheers guys. :agree: The beaulieu event was brilliant i seem to recall. Every kind of Renault you could imagine from all era's & there was a massive autojumble as well. I think i took the distance pics of the 5's from the monorail?? I was abit worse for wear.lol. Does this sort of big renault event still go on???
Not on that scale I don't think :/ national day and French car show at (think it pfc mag) do one.Quote:

Kinda got the old 5 flame back! and have been looking through the classified for another. Although this will be a bit of a "Challenge" as a I live in Australia now.:)
Would really like to know what happened to my mates old motor. Absolutely loved this Famous 5 car. I believe, sadly, it was broken up (by some noob) for parts in 2010, and some of the old posts on this thread may have confirmed that. :(

What a great read this thread was...
I'm heading back to the UK next month and i will dig up some prints i have from the Revs photo's shoot.

Does anybody remember the
Silver Phase 1 that was modified by BBR to their Phase 3 conversion? was in Fast car i think and was meant to have over 200bhp and we are talking many years ago.
The conversion was very expensive if i remember correctly.
It was owned by a older bloke with a beard in the magazine article. Was always one of my favorite 5's
Would love to know what happened to that car
Are you in the market for a 5 then Bealo?

I would love one... If i was living back in the UK i would have one for sure as a resto project.Quote:

I sold the my twin engined R5 few years ago and have just bought it back as a rolling shell and will be trying to put it back together with a pair of F4R engines
https://www.rtoc.org/boards/album.php...pictureid=8425
400bhp i assume you were running two c1js last time round, your lucky to get your old car back well done mate:agree: With the new engines i can only imagine the power your going to get, 2x scoffs 749bhp in a 5....scary:) i remember seeing the white one at the last ND now that was a piece of engineering work...looking forward to this project.
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Not necessarily famous but I remember a few threads about it at the time, a 5 associated with mike48, couldnt see any pics of it here. I remember the guy spent thousands on the build, sprayed it, and later turned out the shell was rotten. Pritty sure it was flip paint green.
Looking for the pictures of the manifold if anyone still has them? (used search function yes)
Not sure what would qualify a 5 as famous but I would say my favorite 5 GTT's from over the years, and opinion as to what should be remembered in years from now as stand outs, etched in the Renault 5 Bayeux Tapestry are:
-Scoffs beast of course,
-Stuart Clarke's
-Trusty white one for the history ect,
-Any cup car, more genuine the better, standard. in particular..
-The prima one yellow/black, not sure if was a rep or not, saw it at rockingham, blown away yes,
-Rowans old one, just cuz Edmund in a 5 is amusing image in my head, good history,
-Santani's from italy
-Andy Fandango's mostly white one, sick,
-Mudslinger white one, (lots of trick bits but never saw it run 1/4mile?)
-The first rwd 5, think it was tungy. (nocturnal maybe?)
Probably a couple more, but thats all I can think of right now.
:)
That would be in the old site, not this one. So search couldn't find it.Quote:

Ah, that would explain it yes thx, just remember the manifold being quite nice, would'nt mind doing something similar, think it cost a grand possibly more. There was deffo a couple engine bay pics floating around that time, nevermind. There were lots of pictures lost from the old site for sure.

Yeah real nice James, like that. :agree: Interesting choice of engine.
Sure there was a twin engine project in london somewhere that looked like it had potential. Might have been from old site, liked the engineering involved or maybe the idea of building one.
Still more to come from the c1j from what i can see tho, be interesting to see what new parts get used or developed in the next few years, more efi 5's for sure, twin charged maybe, different fuels/turbos who knows.. just hope the scene keeps progressing pushing boundary ish.
I found a few more old pics tucked away in the loft from circa 97-98 beaulieu & USC apologies for the quality....photo's of old photo's :)
Roly's 5 , the grey 5 next to it with the hocks was David Kirks..H5PWR.
