                        -------------------------------


Gentlemen and Ladies:

          We have acted as Virginia counsel to World Wide Automotive, Inc., a
Virginia corporation ("Guarantor") in connection with the preparation and filing
by Delco Remy International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), the
Guarantor and other guarantors of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed
on October 31, 1997, with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended, as subsequently amended by an amendment to be filed today (the
"Registration Statement") relating to the proposed issuance of an aggregate of
$140,000,000 principal amount of 105/8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2006 (the
"Notes") of the Company to be guaranteed by the Guarantor (the "Guaranty") and
by other guarantors. The Notes are to be

 
issued pursuant to the terms of an Indenture substantially in the form filed as
Exhibit 4.1 to the Registration Statement, as supplemented prior to the date
hereof (the "Indenture") between the Company, certain of the Company's
subsidiaries and National City Bank, as Trustee. The Guaranty is contained in
the Indenture.

          We have made such legal and factual examination and inquiry as we have
deemed advisable for the rendering of this opinion. In making our examination we
have assumed the genuiness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals and the conformity to all authentic original
documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. Based on the foregoing, it
is our opinion that the Guarantor has authorized the issuance of the Guaranty
and when the Guaranty has been approved, executed, authenticated and delivered
in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and when the Notes have been
issued in the manner and for the consideration set forth in the Registration
Statement, the Guaranty will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights or
debtors' obligations and to general principles of equity.

          The opinions expressed herein are rendered for your benefit in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The opinions expressed
herein may not be used or relied upon by any person nor may this letter or any
copies hereof be furnished to a third party, filed with a governmental agency,
quoted, cited or otherwise referred to without our prior written consent, except
as provided below.

          We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.


                               Very truly yours,


                               /s/ Hunton & Williams
