bought this car over 10 years ago , used to be my everyday driver but was getting rough , had it painted and modified the c1j , carb mods , t25, grill mount , water injection and lots more , my mate was building a clio track car (f7r) and said "you should build one of these " so i then thought , yer i should , lol that was three years ago and hasnt turned a wheel since .

i'm not certain where i saw it, saw a pic of it on another forum i think, it caught my eye
 
i know the feeling, lots of knuckle skin and blood drops go into those cars, especially in the bay

also this "northampton motor sport" place looks awesome, is it just renaults hang out there, i want in!
 
cant get my head around this , i have uploaded some more pics from my photo bucket but they are showing on here as links not the pics , why is that?
 
did you put
at the end?
 
Interesting arrangement with the front crossmember there. Not sure I'd call it 100% structurally sound but I guess it does the job. For now.
 
believe it or believe it not , that piece of steel i put in was stronger than the bit i took out , didnt trake any cutting at all
 
well i would have said it was stronger , a lot thicker ,it was a piece of angle so the structure of that is stong , and to be honest i wouldnt say the strength in the front of a 5 is from that would say the subframe is were the strength is
 
that is a nice engine build. The brakes look good, Is this car on the road now? I want to see it on the road!
 
no mate not at the min , its how ya see it in the latest pics , need a few more bits , a chargecooler, four tyres, shocks re-building at the front , oil cooler pipes (chap coming this week hopfully) ,gotta wire it all up , and am also going to make some new fuel lines while its up in the air. them MOT time
 
thats mint mate , always a nice car from when i used to see it , glad you kept it mate , you not on rtoc any more ?
