gtt conversion

[midge]

how muhc will it cost to have this put in to my car? what parts would i need? i need diffrent engine mounts? the renault 5 mounts will work? will i be able to do it myself or is it a specialist job?

just toying with the idea..

The Clio day and night mounts are the ones you need.

Your best starting with a whole doner GTT rarther than just an engine though.

It costs about £1.5k in labour to have one dropped in. However most people have other work done on the engine at the same time so price will rise quickly.

I quite fancied one in my Valver but the 5s that im aware of (even a very well looked after and tuned by BB one) are extremely weak and unreliable!!!

As much as the sounds brill and they can be 0-60 rockets i think id rather keep my Valver engine!!!

£1.5k seems a good price to have it put in compared to other conversions ive seen teh costs off, though you can buy a working gtt for that much so i think maybe ill do that, saying that though, the engines are well known to be unreliable, want a small turbo car as my next, and this would be diffrent, though doesnt realy seem worth while, i like the fiesta rss though thier bigger engine means more running costs

Mate i personally think youd be better off with a good fez!!!

Although youl need to pay a slightly more than you would for a good 5 my feelings are Fords are alot cheaper and easier to maintain than Renaults end of!!!

The fiesta looks better than a 5 and is much easier/cheaper to tune and is only 2 insurance groups higher, if i were you id get quotes on both and i rekon there wont be too much in it!!!

Id say on the reliability side of things the Fiesta would be better too!!!
