No such car as a renault 5 gordini turbo 1 or gordini turbo 2. Gordini turbo and turbo1/2 are different cars. One has the engine up front the turbo1/2 were homologation specials with the engine in the back

I was asked a while back if I wanted to be in a a YouTube video, with the car constantly being worked on it wasn't always on the road and available. Things aligned last week though and Will from Resto Revival popped down and we had a little chat.

there's adverts?

Ffs... if it's not one thing it's another.... so on the weekend it was noted that there was quite the exhaust rattle. Assumed it was the heat shields falling off in typical Renault fashion (they are) Driving to work this morning it seemed a tad louder, just assumed it was in my head. Driving...

Made a start on what was meant to be a quick job. New rear discs and pads. Though when I got there initially I found I didn't have a big enough socket. For future its a 36mm (cheers @DaveL485) Roll on the next day when I borrowed the correct socket, cracked on with no major issues bar the state...

So a little wrap up of the day. Top line power mapping resulted in pretty much the same peak power it already had (high 60s low 70s), all the bottom and midrange stuff was where we gained everything and not just on full throttle. Driveability is hugely improved and the engine itself seems...

Had mine nearly 2 years, awesome daily and track hack. Slapped a big turbo and a load of bolt on nearly straight away. shave over 300bhp no major issues to note. I cover about 35-55 miles a day in it and averages around 34/36mpg, shave over 40mpg on a run though.

That's just a rubber trim doubt its that at all as the whole lot comes out easily and isn't a proper seal. I also have a whistle when I go over 50. I've put it down to the windscreen needing resealing, which can wait until I get a big stone chip....

The replacement ecu is on and we are running very well. As its running a base map it didn't take too long to set it up again. Managed to get out and about for some testing and all is good so far after completing about 10 miles. Need to get some more done this week before mapping on the 28th

So... slightly chavvy update. With my front splitter I've always felt the side skirts looked too high compared to the front of the car. I've always snubbed people like Maxton for there extensions thinking they were some vacuum formed plastic that wound break at the first instance, and for being...

air bnb for me same as last year. 15 min from the track so happy with that. see you all there (y)

err yeah thats me 👋 🤣glad it helped (y)

one way to check is put it in 4th and watch the boost gauge and how it reacts, do the same in 5th and if it holds back more you may have clutch slipping. Clutch one in mine intermittently slips, I think its light contamination. If i track day it or beat on it its not an issue, only does it...

I've been looking back at some of my track vids, not sure mine gets that hot tbh Daily driving is around 70 80 after traffic. Track looks like 130/140 ish

Awesome 👌🏻

ouch

are you talking clutch temp or EDC oil temp?

will be my next port of call im sure (y)

I know bud, I think its been the same for the last 3 orders I've placed with them, that and incorrect parts twice! glutton for punishment, I wont do it again.

6 weeks from ordering the compbrake top mounts through Ktec and still cant even provide an ETA on delivery. I've now asked for a refund. I swear customer service has gone out of the window these days. Is it just me or am I stupid to expect better? I don't feel I should even have to chase for...

anyway, dates?

Option 3, you are already in deep, get the whole lot out on the floor (y) :D

I hope you are replacing the clutch pack and rear main seal too? only asking as you haven't mentioned it. I've not removed it myself but I would be removing the "spike" from the gearbox. You may also need to lower the subframe to have enough clearance for the engine to droop. Where are you...

Spacing is completely off between the 2 unfortunately. The seats are quite different also, the mk5 seats are height adjustable so the frames are very different also.

done bud :D we know the ways

Not done much on this, still waiting now 5 weeks (yes I know Christmas hasn't helped) on some compbrake top mounts, I ordered them through K Tec... when will I learn... Every single item or service I have had through them has been nothing but problems. Anyway I digress. The front brakes have...

great watch if you like the geeky side of stuff. Chris at EFI parts wasn't wrong when saying I was out of hpfp on the car Ive got a b58tu pump sat in the garage that im looking to fit up in the future. Should potentially unleash a few more ponies :D
