Always loved the 5 turbo but never got round to owning one. Great project and work, look forward to seeing this when it's finished:D

Those wheels are amazing, top marks to whoever did those.
And as for the T1R's, I has those on a nice light car many moons ago, and they were awesome.
Cracking work!

Compensator went on fine without a problem......But ..... I snapped a bleed nipple in the drivers rear caliper.... DOH! couldn't drill it out double DOH....
So off to the millfield motor factors for a new one for a lovely price of
