    Hi From Southwater West Sussex

    Just thought I would say a quick hello to you all. My name is James I am from Southwater, west sussex, unfortunatly I don't own a Fiat of any sort but am currently working on one for a friend I am joining up for parts and some advice possibly :-)

    I am a renault 5 GT Turbo man myself but recently moved in the last few months from the renault 5 GTT world to aJap mitsubishi Evo 6 with just under 400bhp.

    When I get a chance I will upload some pictures of cars past and present and the conversions I have done over the last couple of years :-) last one was a rwd R5 GTT in which I put a 1.8t 20v VAG lump in the rear.


    So Hi to you all and no doubt I will be pestering some of you for parts for my friends car.

    The RWD sounds like a beast mate, looking forward to seeing some pics!

    Cheers guys alot of fabrication work and many hours well into the early mornings went into the blue 5 all work and mods done by myself it's my biggest project to date basically taught myself to weld doing the car, conversions aren't a new thing to me done quiet a few of my own as above and for other peeps in the Renault 5 GTT world.

    The grey one was quicker than the blue one, the grey one had a fully forged 1.8 16v engine from a clio mk1 with a GT28r car was estimated 280bhp @14psi, the blue one was basically std 1.8t 20v engine on standalone ecu and running more boost rolling roaded it saw 243bhp on the litle ko3 turbo (maxxed it out)

    Welcome. I always liked the punto over the 5gtt due to the sharp lines on the 5 but those are very fine looking cars. Kudos to you for doing the work yourself.
