View Full Version : Dilemma....a spot of help needed!!
I have been to look at a Renault 5 gt turbo tonight. And I have decided I want it, BUT it's slightly out of my price range!
It's got a few bits on it that I don't want so I could possibly offset the cost by selling these.
I just need a ballpark figure of what these parts fetch if possible please
- new bailey dump valve
- a set of black 15 inch turbines with pretty much new tyres. All centre caps and locking key
- black new samco boost hoses
- breadbin brand new alloy intercooler
If I get it,god knows that I am going to do with the 5 in my garage at the moment lol..

Turbines- depends on condition really mate. With new tyres between 250-350 I reckon.
New samcos- I've just bought a set today (sods law) £250- £300
inter cooler- approx £50 I reckon.
Ive sold turbines, my mate sold Samcos last week & an inter cooler. That's what he got for it all. But it really depends on the condition of the wheels :)
Hope it helps pal.

Dump valve probably about £25 - £35.
Black Turbines £10 to me! :D:wasntme:
Intercooler easily £80 if in good condition.
If it's a GT Tuning breadbin keep hold of it

Because they are good quality? Rare? Or what...?

All of the above + best cooling standard position intercooler.
They're becoming more popular because people dont want to chop about their car for a fmic.

I didn't know that! Gt tuning chrome seems pretty sought after too.
Apart from the Bosch dump valves lol.
There was back to back tests years ago and the GT Tuning I/C did well
Dump valve probably about £25 - £35.
Black Turbines £10 to me! :D:wasntme:
£15 and their yours....;)

Nice and cheap....say.....£2k.:agree::agree::D
Thanks to all those that contributed....I have come up with a price for the guy. I'll ask him later tomorrow and see what happens.
All going well, I'll have a new 5 :smokin:

Hopefully you will receive some good news tomorrow then! :agree:
If you do get around to arranging a local meet then I would like to see it. Along with your good self of course, I have been a member of the club for quite a few years but I have actually only meet a handful of people...

Hopefully he will accept my offer!
I have been a member on here for about 15 years and I think I have met about 5 people from here lol. So fear not!!! :p
Hopefully with a few local meets with us and the Essex boys, we can change this eh :D
Glad to hear you would like to meet my wonderful self and not just my 5 :cooter:
:agree:
Any news??
He said he was busy at work in meetings etc and be wants to mull over the offer for a bit...
Tbh I have only offered £125 below what be said be would take....so lets see :)

Should have got me to haggle the deal for you ;)

Lol yeah probably :)
I did pick holes in it as its not 100% perfect but it's about 80% there. Nothing I can't sort...
If I do get it - ill get some pics up tomorrow.
It as a big fat no. I have offered him his full asking price now.
I sort of get the feeling he wants to keep it now as I haven't heard anything back....
That's probably the case mate. To be honest, offering only £125 below the asking price is never normally going to be turned down. Unless of course you are talking about only £500 then £125 is a massive drop.
Still no news is good news as they say...

The car is £3k plus so £125 seems peanuts. I took £500 less when I sold my TT roadster and I jumped at that!lol..
He said he needed that car gone by Saturday as he was getting a new one arriving, so it seems strange to me that he isnt replying but hey ho! As mentioned, I think he wants to keep it now....:( which wasted my time a little....:disagree:

Just playing the game mate by the sounds of it. Even if he changes his mind I'd tell him to do one, just for being a time waster.
£125 is fook all, must either want to keep it, has another buyer, or it has problems & you are to close ;)

I'd better pull my finger out and get mine through an MOT if I ever want to attend this proposed Kent and Essex meet!
I prob last drove one in 2006!! It was a great drive home. Really enjoyed it!!!
It's wrapped up under a car cover on the drive at the moment as we are out this evening. Will try to get some pics up tomorrow.
It has a few little niggles but nothing major. The guy I bought it from would t take it out if the conditions were wet let alone raining. Which is a good thing as the bodywork is in very good condition!
Have to sort out a meet now I guess eh!!
Who is coming????? :)
But I had forgotten how tight the seats were on ya butt!!! Haha

No prob if your not in a 5. Would be nice to get a few of us meeting up regularly :agree:
Well done Liam. :)

I didn't get time to sort some pics- it's Sod's law that the weekend I buy a 5, it's a real busy weekend! Not even had chance to do much with it apart from cover it up :crap:
As for 100% - the bumper strips are colour coded....
The rear interior cards have the material coming away from the actual card
The side decals are reproduction ones of a poor quality. Luckily I bought two sets on the group buy on here :D
It has the turbines on it so needs the speedlines putting on.
It's a bit too bling under the engine bay for my liking but its very very clean
The side indicators are old and have water stains in them
The scorpion system is fine but the back box has a massive tailpipe on it
It has a grey interior carpet
The towing eye cover on the front bumper is missing
And that's about it really. Nothing too bad or problematic really :agree:
Liam I may well have some OE mint parts, what ever I find I will bring to the next meet and pass your way ;)
Cheers dear sir. PM me with what you have please ;)
well done Liam, get some pics up mate. :)
Cheers mate :cartman: I will attempt to get some pics up today for you all to see:D
A few pics until I can get more.....

And my fault....that's blatantly not a bread bin intercooler :disagree:

I stand corrected (said the man in the orthopaedic shoes) ;)
The paint work looks unreal!
BB Tuning heatshield was Kevlar, quite rare

BB Tuning heatshield was Kevlar, quite rare
According to a guy on eBay every 15 days lol
I've got one though and it does a great job keeping the heat off everything near by
Looks like a good purchase. :agree:

Thanks. It's in pretty good condition tbh. Ill start a project thread soon and put more details on there.

Cheers me dears!!;)
Your more than welcome to pop down whenever!
That's a beauty Liam, well done. So does this spell the end for your project?
Thanks. The body work is nigh on immaculate.
As for my other 5 restoration.....bizarrely it's given me more enthusiasm to get it finished. Although I am stuck as to what to do...make them both OE. My resto OE and this one with a few toys and a bit of poke.
Really not sure what route to take quite yet. :confused::confused::confused::confused:
Looks like a good purchase. :agree:
Thank you. I wasn't even in the market for another 5 but it was local so I went for a look and was so impressed by it that it just had to be bought!
Anymore updates on yours? I always keep an eye on your thread :D

I'd do just that one oe and the other semi oe. Be good to see this one in the flesh.

Love it ..... very jealous :cry::smokin:
Looks lovely. Just what I'd be looking for if I was buying another.
Did she set you back much ?
Thanks for all the positive comments. It's a great little car :)
I'll sort out a thread on the project section once I get more pics :agree:
As for cost.....lets just say it was more than £3k.......
