View Full Version : My Electric Blue Renault 5 GTT
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
since getting rid of the Williams 2 i got it in my head i wanted a clio v6 but after looking around most of them needed a cam belt change and there were another few things that i was not happy about on the cars http://v6clio.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif plus i would of got myself in more debt. So i have always wanted a Renault 5 gtt after looking i found one with low mileage and been very looked after it had loads of history, mot's, it had a full respray and engine rebuild with loads of new bits including a turbo about 10 years ago but since then it only done 1100 miles and sat in the garage and only used now and then so everything still looks new its a phase 1 but has phase 2 kit and interior
The car has 75000 on the clock with old mots as proof its currently running at around 130bhp has a few upgrades new turbo maybe hybrid ? really pulls well no knocks nothing, done about 250 miles since i got it and i am over the moon with it right little go kart and feels as fast as my Williams was to.
really checked around and there no rust the floor underneath has been treated so very happy, always loved them and i am glad i got this now and it only cost me £2300 so happy days
just needs 4 new tyres as they have cracked so i met up with Dave ( TopCat) and just bought his turbines :cool:
here is a few pics

love it mate - wheels look much better now - I really want a set!
good price you got it for - looks really clean
I bought a set of those hinge covers for my raider when I got it too - couldnt work out why they kept falling off but then realised those pins that stick out on them need to be pushed in which opens the clip up on the inside of the cover making them fit tightly into place - so if you havent already done it give the pins a push mate
how nice is that well done mate
Great improvements, looks in lovely condition :agree:

Cheers everyone :agree:
thanks for the tip I didn't push them in but did wonder why they stick out, will do it now ;)
Gotta love the blue phase 1's! Very tidy 5, hats off to you. :cool:
cheers mate :agree:
took the car down Marky Mark last week to check the car out and glad i did i was running to much boost so he turned the boost down and we talked upgrades before turning the boost back up and adjusting the fuel when i take it back to him soon :)
Was very happy with Marks service he knows he's stuff was a top bloke thanks mate :agree:
So since then i have been spending on things that need doing and some nice little upgrades :) The car at the moment is getting a cat 1 alarm fitted should get it back later.
Had a few problems with the wiring to the starter motor so sorted that out also had to bodge my oil return pipe as it had split so got a new one to fit

Good work mate, coming along nicely :agree: :)
Sweet. :agree:
From experience I'd have stuck with the OE airbox over a cone filter. Maybe have a play around one day to see if you can see the same difference between the two set-ups that I found.
Great work. Your car is coming along nicely. :)
Looks spot on.
Colour is one of my fav
Looking good mate! Is the downpipe the ones on eBay that are coming from France?
If so did it have a boss already in place for a lambda sensor??
Cheers
Cheers everyone :agree:Trev I prefer the sound with the cone filter don't like loud dump valves :)

Great work. :agree:
I'm still not convinced by that filter set up. It's not in a particularly good place for clean, cool air.
Can you route the pipe work down to behind the front bumper slats and mount the filter down there?
cool mate :agree: to tell the truth fella the intercooler does most of the work in keeping temps down and there's a big gap on the side of the intercooler which goes straight to the air cone and after taking it out last week it feels great :) all these cold air feeds and stuff on turbo cars is quite pointless
the intercooler does most of the work in keeping temps down
all these cold air feeds and stuff on turbo cars is quite pointless
The intercooler does what it can with what it is given.
Renault designed an air box with a cold air feed and a grille to direct air upwards into its opening. They even painted the air box with heat reflecting paint IIRC. If all this were pointless then they'd have just put a suitable gauze over the turbo's intake and saved on engineering and manufacturing costs.
There is definite benefit to having a tweaked OE air intake set-up over a cone filter.
That is irrelevant however in this conversation because as long as you're happy, that's really all that counts. :agree:

:agree: I used to run a cone filter behind my intercooler.
Ive now converted to an o.e airbox as spoke about in the above post with the thermostat flap stuck over the hot feed intake and run a k&n element also.
The cold side of my intercooler and alloy carb top are now noticeably cooler with this set up.
Just my 2p worth :)

yeah i know where your coming from mate my Williams is better on the standard box then a cone but on a turbo car i find the more restrictive to a cone see how i get on :agree:
got a few bits done today flushed the coolant system for a good while need to fill up with coolant tomo and bleed once i do a water pump change to.
Changed the thermostat and bleed screws as they were leaking and causing me big issues on the m25 a few weeks ago with air in the system :eek: had to stop 4 times and try an bleed the air out with my sock over the header tank and blowing through the header tank :o with my bonnet flapping all over the place from the lorrys while on the hard shoulder was not happy to say the least
got a few new bits to put on, will finish off tomo if the weather is ok

Good work mate, coming on really well! love the colour :agree: :)
Good update :)
Brass bleed screws FTW. Not the price of them tho!
Cheers :agree: wanted to do some more today but it's pissing down :mad:
Yeah the brass bleed screws are much better mate but as you said not cheap for what they are
It pays to lube/spray the dizzy cap points and rotor arm with some WD40 :)
Looks really smart :agree:
Ok mate thanks for the tip will do that :agree:

Good stuff mate. If you are struggling for wiper caps I am sure I have a couple knocking around for you, just cover postage and there yours.

Saab used the same type though not exactly the same. You will need some glue. I've lost 2 blades. Change them for the phase 2 arms.
That would be great mate let me know how much you want
Mr Raider

Nice work fella, keeping busy ;) out of interest where and how much were Avo coil springs? cheers :agree: :)
Dre, sorry mate bit confused is it the caps that cover the 10mm nuts or the caps for the end of the blade that holds the blade on?

wanted to change my springs today but it looks like one of my shocks has had it plus i couldn't believe the amount of floating with the springs that were in there :eek: i did hear clocking noise now a ten now know why
i have read that lowering springs with the phase 1 set up can be a bitch the new Avo springs look near on identical as the spax so i need to get some new front shocks and sell these new springs :rolleyes: or get coilovers and sell both sets
never even needed spring compressors to take off :sad2:

you can see the difference in the phase 1 and phase 2 top mounts. The bottom half is the exact same on both phase's its the top that's different.

Refurb looks good
You probably already know this, the top mounts are sided. Hopefully you know which is which but thought I'd mention it incase someone used your thread as inspiration to refresh their suspension and didn't know
That S3 is a lovely looking car :agree:
Rebuild of the front susp looks good!

Thanks bood it's a lovely car the s3 me and my partner use it as are daily never let's us down and I like a safe car for the kids. Had it about 3 years now.
Good work on the suspension. Nice S3, me mates got one and its rapid.
:agree: Nad the s3 is stage 2 custom map running just over 270 bhp and 280 in torque so does go quite well, was completely standard when bought it, only done 55000 miles now so low miler

Didn't know this mate as I'm going from phase 1 setup to phase 2 how do I know what side to put on ?
Nice one Trev hope your cool :agree:
Right I need to find out what top mount was the gold one lol :confused: my mate welded a new bolt on one the other day think that was the black one ? Have look at some pictures

Pictures in there show which side is which, side by side they should be noticeably different, I was a little concerned you have two the same but can't tell from the pictures
Cheers mate looking back at my pictures the gold one was the one with the duff bolt that my mate fixed so will put that near side :agree:
TNT Tricky Nicky
11-01-2014, 11:24
No problem :)
Instead of repainting one why don't you simply and neatly mark them up as drivers side or d/s and passenger side or p/s? I would still forget which side the gold one is, lol.

Ye my mate is always going on about him when his car comes into conversation, well when it's broken. He did want to take his there but the distance stopped him. The only maps I'm good with are the book type :laugh: so you've lost me. A bloke at work has taking his 61 plate audi (not sure what it is but it's red and very nice :ashamed:) and had no problems and another work mate will be taking his 10 plate skoda Vrs there soon so they can't be that bad. But hey what do I know :laugh:

What have you got to do to the arb? Mine is still off the car as I couldn't find the right inner bushes to fit.

Changed the shocks to some Sachs super touring, stiffer then standard setup saying that the shocks that came off were quite stiff, the passenger side was ok not leaking oil but the rubbers were fooked old Spax by the look of them.

Looking good dude :)
I need to do the ball joints on mine soon, flagged up as an advisory on the MOT yesterday.
The seats arent supposed to have the plastic on the inside but it definitely tidies it up a lot :agree:
A bit off topic but that G3 Turbo Detailer is awful :laugh: I tested and reviewed it before it was released. 3 different formulas and they were all as bad as each other.
Cheers guy nice seeing you again Scratcher retro day was a good day out :agree:
Right time to update a few pictures of the car at FCS

, decided to go your colour when i vinyl wrap my car, my monaco leather seats would look nice if the body was that colour.
Cheers mate look forward to seeing yours wrapped :agree: everyone comments on the colour :smokin:
Little update Mark still has the 5 as my liners were shot so I thought I would get some new liners and piston set also a bottom end gasket set, valve stem seals and a rev limiter.

It looks like it has a nice little den to hibernate in now, warm and dry.
Yeah washed it and leathered it before hand to lol the bonnet was the worse to the rest of the car to tell the truth.
