The thing was, at that time, the majority of folk believed whatever he or GT tuning had to say about anything.
Do you remember the argument between Steve and Glen T about "who had the most power"... ? it rolled on and on, Steve assuring the world he had the most, essentially because he'd spent the most money on his engine. Glen responded by pointing out that his own R11 was notably heavier than Steve's R5, and still Glen went dramatically quicker on the drag strip. That was not enough to convince Steve, though
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
steve rae's website, as mentioned before on this thread in an invisible post.
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!
And spot the noticeable absentee, although that's probably due to Steve & I have many a heated discussion back in the day
Remember when the Bridge brothers (BB Tuning) very nearly came to blows with Steve at an old Chelsea/Battersea Park meet-up 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!
Was he from the midlands Stoke Area?
it was G288 DOV, as written off down the tunnels in bham, many years ago by me!

What happened to the satin black 5 with the lime green stripe that was a member of staffs from revs?
you mean Emma B, originally from near maghull/ormskirk area?
Not sure about anyone else but i love prima racings 5, seen pics in a mag and its just immaculate. alot of work has been put in to that car.
First post!
Wide body green Skeet 5?
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
The best one of the lot on the list so far was the 4x4 cosworth 5 by a mile Sad to hear its buried now that was very special.
Anymore pics of it?
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
My old Phatty has been sold on again I think as it shows a change of keeper in july this year and I sold it in January. Just found my mate has an immaculate copy of the Performance French Cars mag it was featured in so i will be colour photocopying it in the near furture.
Yeah the Irish guy was Jon Semple. Nice guy. Bumped into him at a car show in Ireland in 2004. He still has the car but is a big Evo fan now I think.
That Chelsea meet was my first big GTTOC meet. Had to leave early though as my mate who was with me found out his mum had just been taken into hospital and she died when we were on our way home. 1996 i think it was.
Some real good Cars mentioned above.
G1 5 GTT is a good one too!
yh my bro nathan used to own f406rll

People really know how to sell their cars
"The engine spec is just awesome and so is the look of the engine bay."
So where is the spec and where are the pictures. All I see is a yellow and blue blur which does not look nice.
Power he says is 180bhp at 22 psi
what u think its worth
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
