Renault 5 GT Turbo



  Never above 25mpg
Lovely! I'd have kept standard interior and standard engine bay, apart from that it's ideal :D.
 
  Vw caddy tdi
Not bad that reminds me of college and my first 5gt in standard guise they were the days, wrote it off tho oopps. By the way that 5 has been silly low at the rear at some point I can tell by the circular indents in inner rear arches.
 
  Petrol Blue 182.
are those RS Turbo seats bud? car looks amazing, such a nice example, love the turbines too, suit it so much. keep up the good work!

i dont get why that would mean that. its just the arches need taking off and putting back on mate, the panels are very fragile lol

well its been a while since iv been on cliosport

bit of progress in the past couple of months.

iv got an engine there that has been rebuilt, new pistons, liner seals, reground crank, lightend and balanced flywheel. ported head and inlet manifold.

so got the engine out, my old engine was a dirty old thing! oil leaking from every were. as you can see the bay is quite a mess!

Ive just fitted a new turbo and gas flowed head + ancileries, rebuilt and rejetted the carb ( 2nd stage jet to 1.1mm ) and its running a fairly modest 146 bhp. Although not a great amount by todays standards but the power to weight ratio makes it a very quick little machine.

Going to buy a front mount as it's too tight with the big group N filter for the double cap cooler
