Renault 5 GT Turbo



  Renault 5 gt turbo
Iv had my Renault for nearly a year now, 5s have always been my favourite car but iv never found one clean enuf to buy.

Iv done quite a bit of work to it for how long iv ownd, iv had a new passanger door/ full passanger paint work, both side skirts painted, new bumper strips, painted/de-wiperd boot, 13" speedline wheels powdercoated/Clio turbines powdercoated, 3" a.a.s exhaust outrolld tip, 300mil omp wheel, phase 2 rs turbo seats/back seats are trimd in the same rs turbo material, apex shocks/apex 50mil springs, mintex pads/new oe disks (thinking about 4pots) Red samco/sfs hoses, ktec carb top, gt tuning rocket cover/oil cap/degassing chamber/header tank and turbo heat sheild, group n clutch, new leads, plugs, several oil changes/filter, new starter motor, omp strut brace, gt double capacity intercooler, t25 turbo, 2 1/2 down pipe, braided oil cooler pipes, cup mod, carb re-rejetted for 18psi. Also my B20ENJ number plate I had on my c2 which took a while because the dvla took agers to return my log book!

Think that's everything so far, seems like a lot when I look at the list! Anyway
here are some pics so far

i did plan to keep the engine oe, but I also like the "bling look" my hoses needed replacing and there was some for sale so thought I'd get them and buy a few other things to tidy up the bay, I stil mite go back to the oe look

That looks magic mate, it's almost impossible to find an unmolested Renault 5 these days.

Turbines just look epic on 5 turbos, still love em!

Always wanted a totally standard black one with silver turbines or williams steelies.

Yum :)

I have always wanted one of these ....

kepp it up

A thing of beauty and you have good taste.. the only thing I would have done different is keep the the engine hoses black.
I'm playing around with a little project Uno Turbo at the moment but it wont look anywhere near as good as your R5!

Good work!

Wow! Looks stunning dude. :D Keep up the awesome work, always good to see a bit of retro cool being done properly :cool:

Good effort, what a minter. Like the fact you used those recaros. Engine bay is a bit bling but i suppose it serves a purpose.

Awesome job mate, much prefer the turbines in silver too. One of the cleanest I've seen!

Cheers for everyones comments! All my oe hoses were in bad condition and a guy on rtoc was selling these so I bought them, I do agree with the black hoses, I no you can get black samco's I'm pritty sure they do a more satin colour aswel which would be quite trick

I have an engine there I'm going to get rebuilt so mite make the bay look more oe when I get round it it. The main thing is to keep the oustide oe really, I'm really intrestead in flocking aswell. I have spare interior plastics and door cards I'm goin to get done sometime.

UNO turbo verry rare car nowadays :)

thanks again for peoples comments

I always wanted one but somehow never did :(

There are R5 Turbo's going for some serioulsy big money these days.

Fantastic car, wish you well ;)

They are mate, for a clean example it's at least 3grand+ Theres some realy clean examples out there but the people who own them don't want to sell them lol. But when they do they have a high price tag, which they should if it's a clean example. I think old cars like 5s etc are worth how much ur willing to pay

I may have got my facts wrong here but IIRC someone told me there was one sold recently for £30k

This man has Impeccable taste that’s for sure.

I really do love it with the anthracite wheels on it.

I must get my mate to pop out with his Gordini 5 buddy, would make for an awesome photo shoot.

OMG That is AAAWWWEEESSSOOOMMMEEE, i so want to have a drive of a 5gtt
 
I hope you're on RTOC, lovely car.

Loved mine every one of the 4 1/2 years I had it. I do love your car, keeping it fairly standard looking, so you know thats the way forward. Personally I would have refurbed the standard seats as I don't like the RS Turbo Recaros, never have done. I would have also as mentioned earlier kept the hoses black.

Good to see you haven't been seduced by the side exit exhaust.....yet! lol
