Went down to the ace cafe last night with a couple of mates, thought it was ford night (turned out to be nothing  ).
But there was a R5 GTT parked up at the side of the road, looked tidy and we though it jus had a show cage in the back.....Oh how wrong we were  .
Sorry for the poor pics it was off my camera phone
Guy was really sound, said he did all the work himself apart from the welding and each engine was running about 200bhp.

LMFAO!!! I can imagine it now!!!! Look at that gay fake cage, fuck me it's got an engine in there too!!!!
Looks fucking awesome!!! did he say how quick it was??
400bhp + 4WD (i take it) + a R5 = fucking rapid i would of thought!!!!

Yea, pretty sure he had used a front sub frame and just welded it in place and locked the steering rack some how

I'd give it a go. Took 4 times to start the rear engine and 5 times to get the boot shut properly. Good old french build quality

Theres been a few - Ian Nixon was one of the first in his orange one!
Id say that engine in the back of that is out of another Renault 5 turbo!

you do not really need airflow to the rear engine, just air to intake and rad
