an old next door neighbor had a red turbo 2.... number 8, some special rally winning car? mad old man had upgraded the turbo 3 times.... didnt hang around like the average 70yo
More pics.......not actually on my drive yet but paid for.....I've asked them to fit a larger intercooler as it already has a higher lift cam in there. John P recommended to fit an exhaust with a smaller silencer (read: flame trap) :D, will see how it goes......

Apologies folks this is the 18+ thread Have at ya, more objects of beauty http://nibler.ru/igirls/25747-bezdonnye-glaza.html Verging (virgin boom boom) on clean that one ps thinking about it, I did actually park a Renault 5 in a hedge, at speed. That was a FWD drive with all of the weight up the front. Unlike my new one which has everything at the back....er.....
[QUOTE=jamesy12345;670093]Was his second name Ragnotti :D[/QUOTE] lol i think it was john, it may have been 1 of 8 was a well known car cuz they are pretty rare arnt they?
[QUOTE=Brett855tdi;670096]lol i think it was john, it may have been 1 of 8 was a well known car cuz they are pretty rare arnt they?[/QUOTE] Pretty rare now fella, JP have a Turbo 1 for sale..... http://www.johnpricerallying.com/ and there's a few on Car & Classic for silly money
this guy was up here in shrewsbury about 5 years back, i moved on and didnt see him again. it was just like yours but bright red and dark grey/black interior... i think it had an extra pair of spots on the front. Was in mint condition. got to be worth good money

I was wondering why the 5 had small wing mirrors, minilite wheels and round fog lights, then found these pics on the net at some 30th anniversary celebrations.........it's been built as a Tour De Corse spec: [ATTACH=CONFIG]23230[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]23231[/ATTACH] Pretty sure it hasn't got the full 207 hp kit though, maybe the 178 version http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_5_Turbo [video=youtube;nKIH7mjJle4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKIH7mjJle4[/video]
Looks like a fun way of killing yourself :)
[QUOTE=M-R-P;670448]Looks like a fun way of killing yourself :)[/QUOTE] Yep, they're not really daily drivers are they....a proper car like the Shark is needed for day to day stuff (like drag racing :))
Out with the old intercooler, on with the new......
Last few pics
Very nice
[ATTACH=CONFIG]23504[/ATTACH] Monday again....don't give up, fight it [video=youtube;OyBSrBqogPY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyBSrBqogPY[/video]
Yes it's Monday, which means only 2 more days work.....then 9 days off lol
[QUOTE=V70 Graham;680037]Yes it's Monday, which means only 2 more days work.....then 9 days off lol[/QUOTE] Good for you fella :)
More pics of the 5.....
Ally radiator
Devil SS exhaust
Front suspension converted to coilovers
Clutch master cylinder
Rear coilovers replaced
Rear wheel bearings
And my favourite bit so far, I tracked down a super mega rare Renault Sport sump baffle :D
The plan is to build up the car to the 185 CV spec (about 188 hp). The baffle was one of the last bits, apart from colder spark plugs and upping the boost a little......I won't mess with the boost just yet, til I get a bit of confidence in the car & other uprated parts.
It's Monday again....arrr...some demotivators to help me cope: http://www.coolpicturegallery.net/2011/02/funny-demotivational-posters-part-17.html
