R5 Turbo Replica build

Beginning to look like a gearbox once again. Output shaft, selector forks and sandwich-plate retained from the original box, all else new.

Took the car to "Cars in the Park" at Zwartkops raceway today. Was a fantastic day in all that was spoilt a little towards the end by a savage headache, probably due to the fact that I only had two hours of sleep last night getting the car ready (was fitting the door catches at 3am this morning). Nonetheless I had a wonderful time sitting in my deckchair on the side of the track watching the world pass me by. The weather was absolutely gorgeous.

Absolutely awesome - keep going!

Thanks Nate. Not much left to do actually. Will eventually get around to fitting the new gearbox. I also need to have her properly tuned on the dyno.

Well done it looks great!! and also well done for taking up such a massive project and actually getting it finished

Still think you should have used an Alpine Renault engine LOL
