5 GT Turbo Long lost Raider

[clarky_gtt]

It's back! I need to have the Clifford removed, it's doing some weird shit! Turn the lights on and the fuel pump turns off... . Things like that. So it can't be driven at night.

I also need to get the front bumper fitment improved

Then finally sort fueling, afr, boost and 4 wheel alignment

 

[Mark Davis]

Where has it been ? It looks superb.

 

[clarky_gtt]

In storage, in Fairford. Now closer to home, but unfortunately in a rented council garage in the ghetto

ghettos never get robbed, they don’t steal from their own.

 

[clarky_gtt]

Well, I drove their in the twingo, rather than the m4. As to blend in!

 

[DaveL485]

It's most excellent to see this back out and in use!

 

[clarky_gtt]

Took it to work today, with no indicators. But as a bmw owner that's irrelevant.

Going to see if I can find the problem later.

I had the hazard switch cause me a problem

 

[clarky_gtt]

Sorry mate , heads all over the place today. I changed mine and it sorted it . It’s a while back . also earth in the fuse box rings a bell .

 

[clarky_gtt]

no probs, it was a loose igniton plug under the dash after all!

do you have a phase 1 heatshield going spare @gordini stu buddy?

Took myself back 20 years to the last time I fit a boost gauge to a gtt, it was missing and removed from the car for some reason. Managed to find an original mocal that gt tuning used to use, the clock mount was already there. Currently running a bar of boost, but the turbo is easily capable of 20psi+. I'm on what i believe to be a stock carb at the moment, I sold the gt tuning group a that was on it.


Next jobs, a bit of exterior touch ups and bumper gapping. Then a retro stereo and set up the boost and fueling

 

[TNT Mr Raider]

Great work mate, what size wheels/tyres are you running please on your raider?tempted by those 16 inch Prima wheels Ive seen

 

[clarky_gtt]

16's, they are genuine speedlines and cost me a pretty penny!

the prima's bend far to easy, went through many of them back in the day

 

[TNT Mr Raider]

Ok fella, 195 40 16's?

 

[clarky_gtt]

i think so!

 

[clarky_gtt]

Looks to be end of the line for me with this one unfortunately.

It's sat in storage doing nothing all year, so I decided to see if it would sell. A lad who now owns the bb tuning old demo car wants it, so at least it'll see the light of day. He wants to stick a f7p turbo in it.

I can now concentrate on the ph1 and ph2

 

[clarky_gtt]

Guy wants car. Guy won't come down to view, but still wants the car and wants it now. Car needs a detail and a couple of touch ups, but guy wants car this weekend.

Video called and sent loads of videos of the car. Agreed price, had the car transported 3 hours away for him. Car gets there and says it looks tatty... Yep, it's covered in dust and dirt from being in the garage for 8 months. It was booked to be detailed but you wanted it this weekend.

In short, cars back with me and a reminder of why I hate selling car's!

 

[Chris Smith]

What a joke... I now refuse to sell a car without somebody coming to look at it first...

 

[Adey]
