hodge Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Got a Ram Raid induction filter sat up in the loft if you want it Brand new boxed never used. Had a full GT Racing rollcage too until a few months back. May have some other R5GTT bits lying about, will have a look. I've got an old Alpine flip out screen you're welcome too (it's the previous model to what I've got in my car. Not been used since May 2010, but should be fine!). Thanks guys I'll take any parts you have lying around for sure, as the car will be built on a tight budget as my son is full time at college and only has a part time job. He'll be over the moon with those thank you very much. I'll drop you both p.ms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 i just had a butchers for a R5GTT and OMG they cost a fiortune nbow - gone a bit like the escort cossies - up in price!!!! There's one on PH for £45k - wideboy and its a left hooker!! Yep, good nick ones have been slowly rising in price. The widebody / LHD versions you speak of were extremely rare versions, Turbo 1 and Turbo2 - used for Group B Rally! Raiders and the rare soft top R5GTTs are costly too. Nice little cars, my friend had one with a GT28 on it and gave it death, was always reliable, fast and mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Found there pics of R5s with Volvo 440 1.7 Turbo engines. This is just the standard Volvo engine And this is with a custom intake manifold and a Nissan 200SX turbo which I think is a T28 I'm liking the tidy bay on the 2nd one.
