    possible 5gtt project..

    hi all.

    so ive done my clio gtt conversion now with a full engine rebuild (this was my first) and apart from a few issues its gone quete well.

    so i may be able to get my hands on a rolling 5 shell.

    now i want to do something pretty special! so the question is.. what engine?

    thankss.

    first check the shell all over for rust as thats the biggest £££ issue.. Then i think you need to describe more about what you want from teh car?, all out drag slag?, track queen, road legal?. 1.8 20vt seem a sure fire big power route.

    If you are going to go RWD try using a gordini shell and study the turbo 2 to the enth degree!! at least further down the road you could buy the kit and make quite a believable replica of something you can't get for less than £15k these days
