The T5 engine and gearbox is going to weigh around 250 kg so the balance of the car will need sorting , all new springs and dampers , fuel tank battery as much as possible in the front etc ..
Here are a few pictures i took at the Car and Car Conversions magazine action day at castle combe in 1994 featuring a rear engied 480 Turbo with the 16 valve renault head on it and turbocharged .. Just think , those guys are in their 40's now .. The car ran out of Tax at the end of 1993 so obviosly used as a track car only , does it still exist?
