Hey chaps, I'm looking at breaking my C70, it's a bit of a lemon and needs some expensive fixes doing.
It's a manual T5 coupe, gearbox is knocking on gear change so that's probably toast, but the...

I recently swapped a Clio Sport for a manual T5 C70 coupe but unfortunately someone attacked the wheels with a black rattle can, so need some inspiration on what wheels to buy for it! Any...
Hey chaps,
I'm after an 850R clutch kit for my Redblock build, is there a go-to person/place for these?
Ben.
Well that's annoying. It's a genuine 90c one.

This one!
I've just put the T5 back on the road after about 8 months, and when I took it in for an MOT I noticed the temp gauge was only around a quarter of the way up for the entire journey, coupled with low...
I've just put the T5 back on the road after smoking around in a Clio sport for a while, and I'd forgot about the boost issues I was having before.
I had a 304 map on it but sold it, and at the...
Looks a damn sight better than the 3M stuff I've used before, you could tell it wasn't carbon from a mile off.
Biggest legal motoring con this side of insurance, I don't ever recall a manufacturer stating their engines need cleaning out every so often.
Turbobricks is your best forum, they've all got too many cylinders here!
Cam wise I'd be looking for a V or K, although the K doesn't have the slot for the dizzy. Or you could go IPD Turbo cam,...
Let's hope no one writes off their car on that lovely trail you left behind.
As above, my front wing is getting a little worse for wear now and I really want to change it as it's letting the car down. Is there such thing as a rust free drivers side 850 wing?!
I can always...
Excellent thanks chaps, easier than I was hoping!
As above, is there any way to fit an auxiliary input to the stock stereo in my 850? My music taste is somewhat varied and have too many CD's in the car!
I'd rather not swap the head unit for a...
Progress!
I'd definitely do the manifold differently next time, I didn't take into account the depth so I've got to notch the chassic leg a little, no biggy though.
Mocked the engine up...
Cheers Lee, when you out it like that it does seem daft not to sort it, I really need to stop being so defeatest!
Can the bearing in the alternator be replaced? I've got a real of vac line...
One day I'll remember to check threads I start!
Thanks for the replies.
Off the top of my head, there's a whine coming from the belt side of the engine that gets worse with revs, I had the...
That's a shame, might be better off selling as a going concern then!
I'm at an end with my T5, problem after problem and still needing work doing. It's simply not cost effective for me to keep plowing money into it. I'd have another in a heartbeat, but it'd be more...
I generally don't do new cars, but that's a very good looking motor.
Chips! TLAO ran over 400bhp on them, that's fine for me for a start. Eventually I'll be looking into MS, I think someone does a plug-n-play job for LH? Not sure what to do on the clutch side of...
Nope, first attempt! I am a fabricator by trade but nothing like this, I'm quite chuffed with the outcome! It's all 316, the elbows are SCH10 (if I remember rightly) and the tube was donated to the...
Yes mate I'll be taking one runner off at a time, there's no way I'd get my torch in some places as it is anyway.
Little bit of an update, I've promised a lotta people that it will see the road by summer so I need to pull my finger out a bit!
Originally I was just going to get some tophats machined up and...
No mate, it's been apart for a clutch and cambelt lately though. I was having the boost issue before the rev problem came in.
