Fair play lee, just out of interest if you dont mind , what did it set you back , its a promise i have made myself someday too...:), i thought the wheels looked clean buddy and straight..:confused:.
If it bothered you that much, could you not convert it to RHD, as others have done??? :)
thinking about that but i would need someone on here with better skills than me . anyone up for it and how much ?
very nice!!!! would love 1 of them 1 day... :agree:

Very nice matey, dream car along with an rs500:)

do not do it....
it takes about a week to learn to drive left handed.
it will seriously affect the resale value...

wrexham near chester is the nearest turbo 2 specialist, from general servicing to e.f.i conversions :laugh:
no realy id never change mine to right hand drive it would loose some of the wow factor. i wiould like to see some engine pictures, see what its packing :agree:
thank you for your kind comments i am thinking more of keeping it now . i am going to keep it a left hooker as sparkie said it will probably devalue it and he is right . i will just have to get used to it:ashamed:this seems a really good club :agree:and some really helpful people :)
Lee, have you been given any pointers to any of the turbo 2 parts websites? - to save Mr Price stretching your anus?
incidentally- i've always wanted to know exactly how much Pricey charges for an engine build. cos i know who he gets to do it for him.:laugh: PM me if you like.
its already been stretched by mr price :laugh:
http://my%20picturesWhat do you think??
:agree: What do I think.. they're my role model... I love it!! :agree:
just out of interest what seals the engine bay? where the parcel shelf meets the frame? is there a rubber strip all the way around?

its already been stretched by mr price :laugh:
ive seen the workmanship and the sticker on my boot says mr price from the previous owner. i know its had a full rebuild buy him and all the other nice bits he sells for £££ but it will never go there as long as ive got it, ive only just put it all right :laugh:
really i would never intrust a old renault with any "car garage" they dont have a clue and the select few that do want mega £££££
id rather buy it from my sites like http://www.3sdeveloppement.fr/ or http://www.mecaparts.com
and fit it myself or bloody make it :coffee:
any questions on whats's what we are here to help :agree:
Gorgeous motor....pass me the kleenex.

was a renault 5 turbo 2 was very cheap phoned up about it was gona see it but never did never heard of it again didnt go to look at it cos back then i didnt no what a turbo 2 was :cry:
:laugh:russ gt 5 i think some of the cars are awesome and the work that has gone into them is amazing. i like standard cars and modded ones especialy the tuned ones . if i hadnt of found this site i think the car would be now sold:eek: i have learnt a lot from most of you as i think i have read every post on here :sad2: twice . trouble is all that mapping stuff goes over my head i will leave that to the lads have to go need to listen to the wireless and get mi gramaphone wound up

Funny you should mention that...
Many years ago, when I was still a young lad... my dad warned me and said: son, watching too much porn and choking your chicken too often will make you go blind!!
So I said... Dad, I'm over here!
