Are you smoking crack !
My mate owned the Gt Tuning Renault 5 and it came with 48k's worth of receipts for mainly engine rebuilds

They are shit, end of.
Nova let's are missiles, average handling but can be improved but not without spending atleast £600 on diff ( fitted price )
The only issue with the Nova is that they do not feel all that planted at speed, normal sort of thing for something so light but if your used to a Saph expect a totally different driving experience.
£2500 would buy you a average spec motor though, certainly something that will see off most things your find out on the road.
