I don't know, not driven it yet! But i can't imagine its going to be the most sensible car i've driven!
Cheers chap

bluntys1rsturbo

well iv got an even thinner tin can and its seemed to have gone down well with the guys on here, think they would appreciate a good motor fella

bluntys1rsturbo

get it driven mate, they have given a decent weekend out, ideal time to give the car a shakedown

WongRS

It's not taxed at the minute

Dannygti

Just chucked a quick thread up mate so take a look

bluntys1rsturbo

so then guys i had a day off work yesterday so decided to give the car a quick wash and a top up coat of the butter wet wax(pics dont do justice) i need a better camera lol.
todays plan of action is to change oil and filter plus fuel filter then check co on fuelling and take it out for a good drive

Have you seen this time warp R5T

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-5-...d=326949877007

Not sure about the price though

bluntys1rsturbo

christ that was a strong price for sure.

big updates to tell you about.

first of all my car is now officially sorn, as its now going to be getting a full restoration which is something iv wanted to do since having the car, bit gutted ill miss the shows etc this year but its certainly going to be worth it.
Iv already began to strip the car down, and have quite a few parts already these are as follows

brand new n/s o/s inner sills
brand new n/s o/s outter sills
rear bumper repair panels
new fuel pump bracket
new fuel filter bracket
full polybush set
good second hand bonnet

the above is just scratching the surface of what ill be getting for the car and ill keep this thread updated with what i get etc.

iv also decided that the car will be changing color to mg trophy blue as its a color i really like and will suit the r5gtt well, iv also been considering ford imperial blue

the front seats will be sold and hopefully replaced with a set of rs turbo recaros

bluntys1rsturbo

stripped a bit more out of the car yesterday after work, cant really do loads until i get the nod to use my mates lock up

I miss my old 5 :-(

bluntys1rsturbo

im going to miss mine now all over this summer/show period but nevermind will come back better than ever

bluntys1rsturbo

not much to update here, only that iv been collecting bits and bobs ready for the mini resto over winter.
iv also decided to keep the car its original color and i have got to get a stronger friction plate for my clutch due to my valeo uprated one not being able to handle the torque now.

slammedorion

Good decision to keep it Tungsten Grey!!!
Keep the updates coming.

bluntys1rsturbo

yeah i think so also defo keep em coming once the resto starts, iv also started work on making my r5gtt owners group on fb official for 2013

v man

I love a grey phase 2

Such a cool little car
Like go karting driving a r5gtt

bluntys1rsturbo

they are certainly that mate, am looking into uprating my rear shocks as i fount out its only running standard ones which might explain why the back end feels a little soft compared to the front

v man

Umm your back end feels soft ah

bluntys1rsturbo

BIG UPDATE

work will begin on getting my car sorted at the end of this month, all the money has been saved etc and iv got it booked in with my mate to do all the welding etc. cant bloody wait finally get back driving the car.

Look forward to the updates mate and seeing the car in flesh one day, I loved my old gt turbo, even if it was really fragile and kept breaking lol.

bluntys1rsturbo

nice one karl, will defo have meet up etc get a few pics n dinner somewhere if ya up for it.

that doesnt sound like an r5gtt breaking haha

doga-ot

iTrader: (1)

they are nice and can be quick but.... regardless of how much you look after it it will break down unless you get a fluke car and are lucky with it, a good friend of mine has 4 of these all at different tuning levels some he uses on track for racing and some he just drives all require continuous care and rebuilds every few months as are prone to headgasket failure, it can also be hard to find people willing to work on them. Nice little car though they are fun to fly about in!

I love old French motors, particularly 5's

Looks very nice indeed mate

Karl 3dr

iTrader: (9)

Yeah that'd be great mate

We're organising a Ford meet at Darlaston inn if you fancy it as well mate

My 5 was a bit ropey tbh mate lol, I bought it off a "mate" in the dark when it was raining lol

Still went like fook though!!

crumpet

been watching this wee r5 for a while now, glad to see its being well looked after, my mrs wants one but theyre going for good money now so no chance lol, she can stick to her starlet gt turbo! would love to hear a c1j with a t28 and external gate cough cough

bluntys1rsturbo

they are very addictive such great fun and this one blows your bloody socks off, more power to come next year as well

id defo be up for that karl will it be ok to come in the 5 though as i was under the impression its fords only so to keep it a bit more low key keep the chav numpties away that seem ruin these meets.
haha you did the biggest no no's in buying a car there mate.

you can still pick a good un up for under 2k a really good un sold for £1800 a couple weeks back. my mates old red r5gtt was running a t28 with external gate it sounded very good, this was also done using the oe exhaust manifold which the so called experts said couldnt be done.

iTrader: (1)

My pal with the r5's has a white 1 with a fiat coupe turbo stage3 running no'z i refuse to get in it as i certainly wouldnt want to be in a 5 doing them sorts of speeds (over 140-150)

Karl 3dr

iTrader: (9)

Haha, I know mate, my excuse is I was young and stupid, whereas now i'm old and stupid lol. I saw the word turbo and wanted the car regardless of what it was like lol.

Its fine by me mate if you come in the 5!

bluntys1rsturbo

haha sounds interesting whats ur mates name? would like see if hes interested in joining the r5gtt owners group.

if you think that is bad what about scoffs 749bhp monster that does 10.14secs 1/4 mile

here it is at a dyno day i put on last october

bluntys1rsturbo

haha like it mate will be no diff to me

thats great obviously wont be until next year i can make it in the 5, will have make do with the escort van for now

bluntys1rsturbo

thought you guys might also be interested in this, its the quickest c1j in europe and will defo go quicker on this new set up his current pb is 11.01 @128mph

Karl 3dr

iTrader: (9)

What's a C1j mate? Is that the original engine code or something?

bluntys1rsturbo

yes mate thats the code for the 1.4 8v turbo

hows the focus?

Karl 3dr

iTrader: (9)

What a guess!! lol That's bloody impressive power and time!!

I love it mate tbh, spoke to Collins earlier in the week about their cp320 conversion, meant to have 400lbft torque lol.

When you coming round for a brew anyway mate? lol

bluntys1rsturbo

its an unreal time when you compare it to bigger powered cars etc

320 conversion would certainly make a difference well worth doing i reckon

im back up crewe end of this month ill 100% pop round for a bit, just didnt have chance at all last time we was there. were staying in wisaston when were back there

crumpet

beenwatching scoffs videos on the tube for a while, weapon, tbh as much as i love r5's, i love starlets more, had them since i was 16 and live by them, would like to see a 350bhp road going starlet vs a 350bhproad going r5

Karl 3dr

iTrader: (9)

Cool

You'll have to let me know when you're about mate and we'll sort something out!

bluntys1rsturbo

defo will mate will have a good look over the focus and the golf project, ill be with the mrs probably

bluntys1rsturbo

scoff will be into the 9s once his car is up and running again, more power is the order

iv noticed a few starlets around my way lately
