16v Clio. See what he can do about finding me a head. I know feck all bout engines especially turbos so any help is great. Cheers Boss

Yeah. My mate will sort the head. What do you look for to see if there is piston damage. The old geezer selling has told me everything about it. He says he wants me buying it knowing everything and he is a very honest man. He and the machanic who fixed would have told me exaclty what they know...

oh i was translating that usuing my french GCSE knowledge. Not taking shortcuts with some translator program

yeah its a valver. with 2l lump dropped in. Do you want me to translate the text as i am very good at french (well i got "F" at GCSE)

I wonder what you would pay for the Clio to be turbod over there. You reckon there would be any difference in price?

His daughter was driving it for 6 months and didnt check the water and so it over heated thats why the head cracked. Aparantly a mate (part time machanic)of theres replaced the head gasket etc but when put back together it still wasnt running right and so he looked and found it had a cracked head.

so any1 know how much i expect to pay for a cracked head. Can get another head for £20. Labour is £10 an hr. When the head cracked could it have wharped the engine? Anyone!

I hope by Easter when i get back to my home town from uni the 5gtt will be fixed and ready to go. Just going to leave it with my mate and tell him to get me a price. If its worth fixing leave it with him and tell him to sort it by easter. Turbo power here i come

yeah. I always wanted one as a project car but i cant even afford my valver really let alone having both as projects. Could just do it on the cheap. Use my wheels for both as only one car can be on the rd at any one point. Respay with my mate is £400 on one of these or he just done a flip on...

where u having the work done?

How much is the donor car costing? Then how much for the job and is it with Torsion Tuning

might do Barryd Ill get it first. Its tempting to get money for nothing though!!

I aint even picked it up yet. I get it on friday when i get home from uni

£10 a yr. Thats a 7th of the total price of my car

So if you new the owner and had the chance would you have taken the risk and brought this 5gtt?

Cheers

Any1 know of a good Gtt site so i can have a gander

Was thinking bout getting it sripped and having a beast of a street racer then i got my clio for proper car!!

I think tints are cool, as far as i can see in the pics yours look about right. I want them done to mine but then people wont be able to see the cream leather!!

Sorry id have to have it dropped on PI springs!! £100

Say i get it fixed for £150, Another £150 for MOT and work that needs doing Rust sorted £100 May phase1 clio wheels reconed and fitted £100 All together it will cost around £500 If you saw the condition of the car then you could beleive me that you could sell it for around £1000 fixed...

So thats why i hope this 5 is good enough to fix!! If so i will drive it in the winter and have the Clio for the summer!! Cant loose. Wicked fun! If its got a cracked head, what is the worst damage it could have? Also how much to fix. My mate charges bout £10 per hour labour

Dont know mate. Did consider the GTT conversion but i think it maybe taking your car backwards. The 16v lump is a complex engine and a good1 and changing it for a old 5gtt seems unlogical. May be wrong though!! you swapping a 93 1800cc lump for a 89 1400cc lump plaus handing over a...

Nice 1. My mate who is having a gander is also a 5GTT nutt!! He has just said he will give me £100 for the car if it aint worth fixing as he wants the starter etc and rest for parts for his. The car is in Saffron Walden mate. Nr Stansted!!

Yeah but for £70 you cant go wrong, Can u? Its going straight to a mate who is a machanic and if he says it aint wourth fixing it i will sell the parts. You think of all the stuff on it i could sell. Turbo, Box, Starter, Alternator, Alloys Interior, Scorpion Exhaust, Dash...

:D I have offically made my 11th car purchase today!!! Its a Renault 5 GTT. Its not as good as it sounds though!! Its only got 3 months MOT. Cracked Head, No tax and hasnt moved in 6 months! :sick: You may be thinking why have i brought this dog!! Well the answer is its only cost me £70...

adtmits, you might have driven less cars but they are better ones than me. Most of mine where cheapos just tro get me around whilst looking for another one. Also you have a 172 at 21!!! I got a Valver so it shows better to own less cars and save

Should have claimed on your house insurance as items temporarily removed from the home. Thats what i done one time when my car got done over. Claimed for clothes, cds, Playstation, mob, camera etc. And it dont make you loose your ncb. My car once got broken into and all they stole was a...

think yourself lucky that nothing went. Could have been a lot worse

Bargin!!!
