Cheers chaps, it's not exactly original for example it's a RHD, has minilite wheels etc, but I've never owned one before so I don't mind.
I've asked them to put a bigger intercooler on for me and it has the higher lift cam in there from the 210 hp spec. The plan is to make a thread on it then bring it to a meet
Trevhib, I will be round the guys house when I get back, assuming the address is a real one
Let us know how you get on.
Will do Trev, I'm looking forward to meeting John P also who seems like a bit of big name for R5 turbosOriginally Posted by Trevhib
Wow! thats mega, bit different to the 11 turbo you were getting! look forward to seeing more pics mate
yeah, it's got a V5 for startersWow! thats mega, bit different to the 11 turbo you were getting! look forward to seeing more pics mate
Ahh touch! 11's are cool but not quite as cool as this mate! Maybe I should add one of these bad boys on my xmas list...hmmm...
Awesome mate, let us know when you get it as I'd love to have a poke aroundAbout a month on, still waiting for refund
No matter, onwards and upwards! Here is the next adventure.....it's not on my drive yet.........but bought & paid for at least! From John Price in Hereford:
I saw this one on car and classic a few months back, was a good price from what I remember!
No problem at all mate, cheers. Speaking to the seller he said there was next to no interest due to it being a RHD...!Awesome mate, let us know when you get it as I'd love to have a poke around
I saw this one on car and classic a few months back, was a good price from what I remember!I guess most buyers want original
What did you pay for it dude if I'm not being too rude...?No problem at all mate, cheers. Speaking to the seller he said there was next to no interest due to it being a RHD...!
How rude!!
I was wondering why the car had small wing mirrors and round fogs, and came across this photo from some 30th anniversary celebrations......
It's a Tour de Corse spec car, so I guess mine has been built up to look like that. Pretty sure it doesn't have the 207 hp to match tho, maybe the 178.
Video too:

I see the site is working again, Happy New Year all
More pics of the car......
Mmm Renaults, here is a shot of a handsome chap, and me
Larger intercooler is on......
Work to do -
Bilstein coil overs)
Devil exhaust- "where are my flames? I want flames!". The standard silencer is pretty big although the entire exhaust is about as long as your arm.
Alloy radiator with the twin fans - apparently due to the thicker core this drops about 8 degrees C compared to the orginal unit.
Forgot to add, I have taken over the helm as the UK registrar for Renault 5 Turbos/Turbo 2s with the Renault Classic Car Club. I'm not sure what I have to do yet
Translating the user manual into Franglais is a good start I think....
What a beauty! Rhd would be a big plus for me personally.
Breathtaking motor mate. My eyes are going green with envy the more I look at it
we are not worthy!
haha cheers the colour of the car is marine 403 just out of interest. It does look a little green in one of the shots but that was our lass doing fancy Photochop things. More like French Racing Green than blueWhat a beauty! Rhd would be a big plus for me personally.

Super colour.
How's the deposit malarkey coming along?
Wow
That is all

Thanks! I haven't been round yet, and gave up emailing etc a while ago. Would you believe I spent the entire Christmas hols on bail for an entirely unrelated reason.......so kept a low profileSuper colour.

The Bogey.
Stunning car. V nice
Hopefully seeing this in the flesh might shake the N.E area rep' into sorting a Summertime meet somewhere?
Thats you mart that is!Stunning car. V nice

James so are you having work done to it before you pick it up? I guess you have a decent garage to put it in?
Nice
I still don't know the area that well, but don't mind trying to sort something if the interest is there? (without wishing to tread on Brigsy's toes).Thats you mart that is!
Whaat? Childhood dreams, smashedThe Bogey.
. I don't know it's a hard one....The Bogey it is for now then
Stunning car. V nice
Hopefully seeing this in the flesh might shake the N.E area rep' into sorting a Summertime meet somewhere?Thanks gents! Matt, I went down to get it from John Price, I had a go then left it with him to get the shiny bits on. The weather was pretty ****ty so I didn't get much done. Yes it has a garage to live in, but I will need to evict the Volvo 480 turbo that's in there at the moment.Nice
I would be up for a meet - towards the end of February any good? May I recommend the Angel public house in Durham City for a meeting place. The parking is rubbish but they do exquisite biro tattoos:

Not sure if you have found this site but may be of some use. http://r5turbo.info/index.php
Beautiful car btw.
Thanks fella, I did try and join that forum I think must have they seen my IP address and said **** that (Kazakhstan).
The owner of the site helped to make a very good Renault 5 buying guide in Practical Classics Magazine, which I grabbed a copy of from Fleabay before getting mine. I think his dad owned or used to own a turbo 2 so I better try and get hold of him again
edit: sent him (Andrew of r5turbo forum) an email

I'm a patient guy, I waited 4 weeks for an 11 turbo V5 to dry out (see ramblings on page 1
