Wheels refurbed, car detailed ready for winter

[Ant1]

Put the standard alloys back on after they where painted, look really good.

Exterior now complete as interior.

Looks stock but it ain't where it matters ;-)

 

[_Tom]

Awesome. Love it. Worth keeping hold that.

 

[N4TH4N]

Nice. Whats under the hood?

Nice. Whats under the hood?

T28 turbo and all other associated mods plus a very ported head, inlet, mani.

Runs 18psi presently, when I tweak boost next year, 22 psi and 230bhp will be perfectly achievable

 

[Lal B3N]

Looks superb!

 

[Scrooge]

Shame the front seats are a tad tatty. It's feckin awesome!

You have to trust me when I say this, I only know a handful of phase 1s with immaculate seats, mine are better than most.

29 years old and not even a fag burn, sadly the black fabric thins out and can't be replaced.

If a mint set ever come up for sale, they would be £1000 for sure.

I'm so jealous you own this, I get angry looking at it in the pictures knowing I don't own it!
It's ALMOST perfect

Saying that I need a garage desperately so I couldn't own it just yet!

 

[Stefan.]

Just yes!!!!

Nice motor!

 

[Advikaz]

That is stunning.

Looks fantastic condition too.

 

[N4TH4N]

Lovely wolf in sheep's clothing!

You had better hurry up as the prices are going north fast.

 

[Mr R.]

I love this bud.

What a awesome car it is. [emoji41]

 

[Kyle 86]

That looks amazing

 

[dangerous dave]

Is that one of them £450 gearnobs?

 

[Matt W]

Amazing.

 

[Ant1]

Is that one of them £450 gearnobs?

Not quite, I paid £250 for the knob and £100 for the gaitor, neither was advertised, was very luck as I have never seen a new phase 1 knob, and leather which is rarer for sale.

I run the Staineless one.. I was gonna run the OE centre console and have a friends mum make me a new gear gaiter as she's a dress maker.. But the centre console doesn't fit with my bucket seats... So overall it looks like another badly executed mod..

 

[kpowell911]

Looks amazing, its in better condition than most new cars haha. but forgive my ignorance, whats different between this and a normal R5 GTT?

I know there was a Turbo 2 but that was rear engined/rwd I believe. Is this a Raider or Storm or something??

You have...

Phase 2
Phase 2 raider
Turbo 2

That's it.

 

[Stay Puft]

So so cool. What's the current going rate for these, at this type of condition?

I don't have a concrete value as there have been no phase 1s for sale over the past 9 months.

I would imagine 7-10k range would be about right.

 

[dangerous dave]

You have...
Original Renault 5 le car
Gordini
Turbo 1
Turbo 2
Various special rally styles, race cars

Phase 1 (mine)
Phase 1.5 crossover with painted kit
Phase 2
Phase 2 raider special (not limited)

Not forgetting the cup cars, difference chassis numbers from factory, often crashed and reshelled..

That's it.

There's more but I can't remember it all..

 

[C.J]

I really like this!

 

[dangerous dave]

Mine looked like this the other Saturday morning, but had to pull the engine because it was totally fked.. All back together now with engine number 2, just have to sort a fueling issue..

Good work, that's how I think they should look.
