    Pearl white phase 2 Renault 5 gt turbo

    Right guys ive been thinking about selling my car on and off for the last six months and have now decided its got to go.

    I bought the 18 months ago from a friend who had it in dry storage for seven years.

    Ive since buying the car i've had the engine fully rebuilt with new forge piston all new bearing full gasket set and so on the rebuild alone cost £2000.Bearing in mind i work in the motor trade and all the parts were at cost price.

    The spec of the car is as follow's

    Pearl white 1988 phase 2
    72,000 miles with history and old mot's to back this up.
    most of the history is either from renault main dealer or prima racing
    3 months tax and 12 months mot (just past with no advisory's)

    The engine conversion was done by prima racing in 1994 and according to the owner that had it done (ive tracked him down as he had the car in the mid 90's and lives local to me) it was the first one converted by them.

    The full engine spec is on my profile as i cant remember it all
    from the top of my head its as follows
    prima racing 1.7 turbo conversion

    1721cc engine over bored to 81.5mm
    Low comp forged pistons (secret spec)
    lightend bottom end.
    Re jetted carb
    Re profiled cam
    Green cotton air filter and oil breather filter
    Tubular exhaust manifold
    2 1/4 inch crossover pipe
    full one off 2 1/2 inch bore rear exit exhaust with rolled out 3 inch tail pipe.
    pace alloy radiator
    front mounted intercooler
    separate oil cooler
    Oil catch tank.
    T28 turbo .49 rear

    The car makes 231bhp and 268lbs torque @flywheel 18psi.

    Ive had done in the last year alone the following
    Big brake kit
    four new wheel bearings
    new ball joints
    new track rod ends
    two new drive shafts
    apex shock and springs -50mm
    new heater matrix
    four new pirelli p zero nero's.

    All the work has been carried out by Jon metz ex torsion tuning

    There is to much to list if im honest about the car your best to ring me and i can tell you more as if i try and write down the full spec i'll be here all day.

    Will try and upload pictures this week once i wash and polish it for now there are old pictures on my profile.The engine bay picture is a old one and it looks nothing like that now.

    Here for now is the review i had done on my car by car journalist Rebecca Jackson

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp5uT...eature=related

    The asking price reflects the condition of the car and the fact id say its possible the only prima racing 1.7 conversion cars left on the road as ive never seen anorther.

    £4100 ono

    Luke has asked me to host some photo's for him











    I've told him to take some better ones once is had a clean

    If you want an honest, clean & very fast 5 in a rare colour then this is the car for you.

    This is a very very nice 5 (almost as nice a mine eh Luke.)

    Thanks Tom for the kind words glad you and Russ have said how clean it is so then people dont have to just take my word for it.Other members has seen it and can vouch for how much i look after it and how clean it is.

    Not often you see pearl white paintwork on a GTT looking so good. Great to see, it's a lovely colour when looked after.

    Re: Pearl white phase 2 Renault 5 gt turbo

    Just got to say this is probably the best pearl white 5 out there.If i had my way it would be mine lol hey Luke.But you keep offering it to me at the wrong times let me sell my two or at least one of them lol.I dont want to see this car go at all.But all the best with the sale mate

    This car ticks all the right boxes oe looking with a beast of an engine anyone who buys it wont want another one iv been around this car from day one when Luke got it.And luke has done a great job and spent alot of money and nicking parts from my 5s lol. Anyone who knows this car will tell you its the nuts there aint another one out there with Luke's engine and there probably wont be ever (spec wise) this car is the one to have.At 200bhp there aint much that get away from it trust me
