So many ex gt turbo owners on here.
I sold my GTT for £2100 (bought it for £2000).A 172/182 is probably the closest modern equivalent of a R 5 GTT, and a hell of a lot cheaper!
I bet there's a few people here kicking themselves looking back on what they got rid of, I think I sold that Gt turbo for £1800 😭

First hot hatch and first car, Nova 1.3sr C reg back in 1998. No pics, had period alpine headunit with 6 disc changer, alpine sub and amp, lowered on jamex springs, astra gte mk2 alloys & peco big bore backbox. Fond memories of fixing it, and taking it for mot which resulted in a hole in the sill, revealing 2x over sills fitted in the past
Current gtt. Mrs owns the meganes, so cant take credit for them. I offered her my gtt in px for the 250 but she wont have itView attachment 1472087
Pulsar's are my dream car 😍This was my first hot hatch 20 years ago now 😱 Had it 2 years after passing my test after writing off a mint Cavalier Gsi. TSW venoms 😂

What are the clio like turbocharged? Is it worth the money?First warm hatch was my MG ZR 120 back in 2003 followed by a black MG ZS 180 - the chassis on that car was sublime

Not my car above but exactly the same. Then came my 106 GTI which i loved.....until I wrote it off

Next came my Zetec S which had a cracking gearbox and chassis balance - just the engine felt a bit flat after the Peugeot

Sold that in 2008 and bought my current hot hatch and now weekend toy

Turbocharged in 2014 and god knows how much money later i love it. Best of the lot and cant ever see myself parting with it.
Pretty sure someone admitted to owning a Vauxhall! There's always one to let the side down😂.
Good effort, you're forgiven😂. Only because of the R5 though!Sorry, I'll get my coat 😞 If it makes things any better I did this to it 😂

The pros and cons have been debated on this forum for years....i would do a search or go on my thread as i went into some detail there. In short - as a purely financial proposition not worth the money. In terms of fun factor and the enjoyment i have personally got out of it well worth it. If you want a turbocharged car for the extra power alone I would buy something that was made that way out of the factory like an R26 as to make it a reliable proposition a lot of other upgrades are required.What are the clio like turbocharged?

Dunno they were made by tsw. Hence tsw venoms. Soo many cars used to have themWere they a copy of some BBS wheels or something?
Yeah I've had a few the newer turbo engines make great powerYou into golfs then
