I have been playing with this today. Its my new Village runabout.
Its getting serviced next weekend by Coalville Renault. Its got one or 2 original tyres on it still so im getting new rubber this week.
Needs a few exhaust manifold bolts and the tappets setting up but Rog is on with that included in my service LOL.
nice, you need some speedline 13s on it tho
I had one of them, a quirky car with it having power steering and a auto box.:)

Guys this is a 1.4 so will a GT Turbo zaust fit it?
Dont laugh.
Yep. I did it to my first car - that white campus. Fitted a full scorpion system.
That is, if it's all the same on a Monaco as it is on a Campus?
Good work Bric fella, An exhaust i am a hunting.Quote:

I went for :-
Falken SN828 165/65R13 77T.
They look and smell amazing, the lad in the office hates the smell. I love it.
Come on, give us a close up of your leather pouch...

Hmmmmm... new tyre smell... delightful. Just off to Kwik-Fit to get a fix!!
OK taken 5 to work this morning to get tyres fitted. made sure i had air in old tyres to drive on.
Got to work parked up and noticed the car slants to the left. Now i thought this was an optical illusion on my drive way. At work its deffo slanting. Is this a spring issue? shock? its unlikely to be anything to do with the reaer as its on a torsion bar.
Quick list of potential probs would be good so I can get checking when the wheels come off. (in the workshop i mean)
Looks clean mate, there was one of these at the scrapy near mine and I tuck all the door cards plasticks etc out, guna get them retrimd similar to the oe and put in the tungy. The seats are well comfy
Possibility that one of the coil springs has broken making it shorter than the other. Common problem where there's a built up of rust.. it happened on an old Campus of mine yrs ago.Quote:

Drums with new or decent working shoes and set up work well enough IMO
yeah but drums just dont look right :)
Drums make it look like i cant afford a better car, and not that i have chosen this one.Quote:

:agree: Work fine on my campus too.Quote:

your right mine worked fine too i just wanted discs as they look much better spose i could off used something like thisQuote:

i still say proper discs look better than drums even if they are painted
Yeah GTX is the 1.7 and IIRC share the same brake set up as the R5 GTT, as mentioned Kenobi's Monaco is a 1.4 auto so i say again drums are adequate for that car.Quote:

Im full of questions me lol. more like full of **** lol.
Right i notice this has a different strut top thingy than the phase 2 Gt turbos ive had. is this Phase 1 suspenion on this 5?
i have 3 rear beams sitting in my workshop, alas u are a tad far away tho
http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...o/DSC02023.jpg
After my Sunday clean.
OK so can anyone help me with matching up some silicone hoses to fit this lil gem?
Does anyone know if any hoses are the same as 5 turbo ones?
The headertank and coolant system is deffo not the same.
This may help.
http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...o/DSC02073.jpg
well the bottom rad hose is the same, and you could proberly use the turbo water feed hose for the 2 hoses that are joined 2geather, then just your normal silicone tubing for the the thin tubeQuote:

It looks like if you were to put in a GTT radiator, header and swirl pot, then you could do it no probs.

Perhaps, theres a chance i'm off to marky's in Aylesbury to have my 5 "ahem" lowered. LOLQuote:

Get a manual box in there.
I've got a nice campus gearbox with your name all over it. Think I've got a gear linkage somewhere too. Don't really want anything for the gearbox.
Thinking about it, the speedo is electric on Monaco's, and manual on campus's, so it would mean your speedo wouldn't work. Guess a GTT box would work? I have 2 of them :laugh:
Its not just the box though is it. ya need all the peddle shiz and the gear stick etc.Quote:

Ah but price up the conversion, Box, peddles, gear stick, linkage etc. its not cheap.Quote:

Now I think its wonky as the torsion bar on one side is like a tooth out or summat.
Not sure though, Wish me luck.
Wonky torsion bars? Good luck dude :)Quote:

Who the fek has bolted the renix above the turbo!!:D
Renault did when they built the Renault 5 gt turbo phase 1......
Your right! Then changed it to behind the bulkhead because it was stupid!Quote:

Think Kenobi's investing in a turbo heatsheild soon for it .
Which is another stupid place to put it.... In the wet zone.... Combine a really long king lead going through the firewall, tiny electrical connections and cold/wet conditions? Great idea.... I thought the best place was where the 1.7 gtx had it.... Anyway, off topic.;)Quote:

Could it be relocated to the inside of the car? or would that make the king lead too long?
