Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???

**dangerous dave** · 08-08-2010, 23:26

i still think gt tuning gears some of the best thats ever seen a renault 5 when it comes to aftermarket gear.. well built, well styled that worked with the original parts and styling, not against it like kombat kits etc..

prices were

but still even now alot of it can't be bettered, only copied..

Say what you like about GT Tuning, the car's a piece of gtt history, and a very big piece at that

It's good to see that it's resurfaced, and I hope to see it one day. Slaterd, hurry up and get it insured, and bring it to our National Day next weekend at Mallory Park

Thanks! I won't say how much just to be fair to John, but I'm very pleased with it.

It looks pretty well how it did 10 years ago.

See pic attached, I'll add more once I get it back from getting it's MOT and stuff done.

I won't get a chance to bring it next weekend, but definitely next time..

Wow I Remember seeing that car back at USC back in 1999. would love to see it again it was on tsw venoms back then.

Here is the old mag features of the car from back in the day.

**benj88** · 31-08-2010, 11:19

I remember a good few year ago there was always a picture of this red gtturbo on the rtoc sighn in page. It was really low and had the big rtoc sticker on the rear window

Does anyone know if this is stil on the road, don't have any pics on my phone but il upload wen I'm on my computer

**Saint AAI** · 03-09-2010, 11:54

I think the black Cosworth 5 was built by DJM Motorsport if that's of any interest to anyone, they're only down the road from me. Looks like they work on some high end projects now.

**Scottish9Turbo** · 03-09-2010, 22:51

not sure if its a famous 5 or not, remember hearing that it had a cover slot on a mag and that it was used in insurance adverts as well i was told? PCS built car, now sat gathering dust for the last 2-3 years ive known it to sit still but still seems to be in good nick.

should make an appearance next year on the roads if all goes well.

**Scottish9Turbo** · 03-09-2010, 22:56

also know that this car used to be mega quick, dissapeared for a couple years and then i helped get it back on the road, it was in very good nick about 5-6 months ago when i last saw it, cracking car

how it used to look before it came off the road

how it looks now, kicks round falkirk area (mudslinger thats the one that people thought was your one when u put that post up mate)

Black Magic has changed hands again, still in Oz and gone to someone keen to keep it going strong.

Lovely car that, proper 90's look!

**tom t** · 05-12-2010, 20:51

not sure if its one of the famous 5s listed here but i think there is a twin engine europarts rolling shell for sale on ebay, cant get the auction up on my mobile.

I see that on ebay, it looks like another shell that has been modified for rear/twin engine set up but thats all nothing else been done to it. Bare shell aswell.

The price though is taking piss abit! £2000!!!

**tom t** · 05-12-2010, 21:28

exactly what thought pretty damn pricey. I couldnt see if it even had the rear struts etc in situ

**rogerreno** · 07-12-2010, 22:51

One I remember from back in the day was an E plate Electric Blue Ph2 with White multispoke alloys, was at the 3 sisters track day I went to in my 1st 21T (that I broke on the day!!) and was also at one of Moggys RR days in Wrexham. Seem to remember it having NOS and quite a bit of power!!!

Sparkie should remember him coz I'm sure this Blue car just pipped his to the post for the highest BHP (awaiting to be shot doen in flames!!)

Think it belonged to a lad called Lee?? Short guy with a goatie, may have been from Liverpool??

Sure I've got some pics somewhere, will try and dig them out.

As for Steve Rae, I remember him turning up at Moggys RR day, giving it the 'big I am' then leaving.....never met such a tool in all my life!!

Hopefully it will be back on the road for the early summer, sticking with the Europarts theme, hence the no colour change & C1J with the EP carb/injector set-up, more then likely a Adaptronic ecu for the ignition & to control the single injector?
Last but not least it will stay with the black & Orange seats

, It just needs collecting from Dave’s as soon as the snow clears

Real shame but think this car is gone now

Was on ebay little while ago but in right state, interior missing, no engine and kit crack.
I enquired about it to put it back to former glory but owner wanted way too much money so think it got broken for spares and shell gone.
