Clio's and R5 Gt Turbo's..

[ja.jack]

The 5 is a nice car, my mate had one but the turbo kept on going.

You def had to look after the heart of that motor, ie, theTURBO.
Frequent oil changes and strict adherence to running down procedure paid dividends. ie turbo never cashed in.

Nothing's changed since the days of my youth.lol Back then we put twin cam mills in Ford Anglias[ mit Corsair front struts to replace the drum brakes] To say the handling was akin to a Tea Clipper going round Cape Horn would not be an exaggeration.

Good luck to you mate.[/quote]

cheers mate, we just run our 5's constently at pod in our spare time, the other lad with the turbo'd 182 lump wants to enter totb eventuly, his aim this year however is to get into the 11 sec 1/4 mile with he'll do easy given the conditions are right, hes certainly got the power

here are a few pics of mine rear engined 5gtt
