is it a new engine do you think? if the timing belts gone im assuming the damage will be so bad they will just replace the block?

Right, where do i start ... basically at about 12000 miles i had my power steering pump replaced, i was told it was faulty when i went for my first service... not long after, the auxillery belt started to frey around the edge, so i booked it back in and got it replaced under warranty...

sorry but it looks sh*t.. Im guessing it will only appeal to 18yr olds... id rather spend £2k on a mint 5 turbo and pay twice the insurance than spend £8k on a body-kitted dynamique.. I bet all 18yr olds at the lights sh*t their pants when they spot the "GTR" badge on the grille after all...

ive had my cup for 2 years, and despite using "wonder wheels", theres brakedust etc in the corners which just refuses to come off.. i want them to look like they rolled off the production line again... any suggestions?

if you want a clio which is much faster, feels more raw, is the real "renault sport".. get a cup. if you want a rebadged dynamique get a "full fat?"... :p [Edited by chris79 on 7/25/2005 4:30:04 AM] p.s. the cups are wider too..

hmm, not a nice story. interesting to read a few people have also had people following them. I had some guy following me in my cup a few weeks back, he was definately following me as I doubled back on myself at a sliproad and allsorts but he kept with me.. it was only when i got into my estate i...

Anyone from here? I joined the spine road as you went past and we both floored it.. i was in 172 cup, you were in silver 182 with private reg...

Ok, Ive noticed if I go over any bumps with my car turned on full lock to the right, theres a strange knocking sound as the suspension is put to use.... anyone got any ideas? Ive had it for months but because I rarely have to drive over bumps on full lock ive not bothered to get it...

Sigh, Ok... as you might or might not know, I bought a minter on ebay, 1 previous lady owner etc etc... totally standard.. Anyway, I got it MOTd and taxed this week as its spent its life so far in my garage waiting for the hot summer weather... After driving it about a few days ago I...

JayGTT how much you wanting for your 5 ?? (just out of curiosity?).... looks nice and tidy, what kinda power is it pushing?

I read on the rtoc forum someone managed to check with the DVLA and theres only 3500 or so r5 turbos left on the road in UK... certainly getting rarer and probably more valuable for minters... Bought mine totally standard 1 owner from new, not gonna mod it, keeping it the way it came out the...

lol... £10 grand and its yours !! :p

ok, thanks to all those who replied to help me the other day about my 5 turbo problem... it was hesitating when turbo was spooling up etc... anyway, i changed the rotor arm, dizzy cap, and HT leads and its running like a dream again !! .. well pleased...

indeed I can, its a renault 5 GT Turbo... youre thinking of the renault 5 turbo2 which was the mid engined one!

Hi, ok, before anyone asks - im aware of rtoc.org, but i dont want to pay £10 just to ask a question... Ok, the cars been off the road for the winter, i decided to get it MOTd today, so charged up the battery, started it up etc, no problems... took it to get some petrol, no 4* or LRP...

Quote: Originally posted by Loony on 24 June 2005 ignore the 0-60 specs, theyre different depending on where you look be it autocar, evo, or any other motoring publication. supposedly the cup is 0.2 of a second quicker to 60 so in other words f**k all difference. erm, wrong... thats...

looks sh*t, much prefer current style.

I disagree, Ive been out in them all and the only one which provides true "back in seat" g-force is the 172 cup. The rest are slow and their owners are just bitter and twisted that the cheapest is the fastest...

I bought a 5 turbo on ebay 7 months ago which hadnt been advertised very well. After probing a bit with questions I was lucky enough to get a minter for £1500 which had a 50+yr old lady owner from new, with FULL history... and when I say full history, I mean EVERY receipt from new. The...

id recommend not getting one.. get a 172 cup instead.

according to this ebay sale... mine only does 140mph, should I complain to renault? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9861&item=4556424318&rd=1http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9861&item=4556424318&rd=1

I got my first 3 points last october from a mobile fixed unit.. i promptly boughta bel 995 from ebay £150... Since I bought it its picked up the tw*t in several locations approximately 6 times... and I joke you not, its probably saved me another 3-6 points.. which if you think of the...
