CGB Motorsport are life savers, I found a complete Raider interior. Front seats, rear seats, door cards and the carpet. For the whole interior I was 400.
I also bought a
Raider parcel shelf - 70
clear indicators - 17
T3/T28 Garrett turbo - 500 (so the turbo technics hybrid is goin back)
Raider door badges - 50
Mocal oil cooler - 70
Forge FMIC - 360
So am a VERY happy chappy now :D
Jesus christ!!!!! you are insane!!!!!!
old roly from gt tuning would have loved you long time!!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1991-RENAULT-5...1%7C240%3A1318
Could have purchased this whole car for that price and it has the raider interior with it.
Want to buy a spare parcel shelf for £70 :D
Is the interior brand new? Because thats crazy money. Turbo brand new?

Why not upload them to your profile??
Glad your happy with it mate, i would only say next time shop around a bit more and dont go for the big brand "tuning" companies, they are well overpriced!
hmm, i dont know if buying a 2nd hand turbo was a good idea.!
i wonder what adam L would charge for a new turbo of the same spec.?
:agree:Quote:

Have you got the rest of the engine to suit a larger turbo. What boost will you be running. You just using it for drag use. T25 are known for a great all round turbo and is the preferred choice on this site for all round useQuote:

Am thinkin by ur comments the T28 was a bad idea:cry: al see if he will refund the bank and keep it!!!

Mate, it seems like you've got more money than sense!
As you say, lesson learned - there's more than enough knowledge on these boards. As for 'tuners' - just be warned that what you buy isnt always 'what you get'. They wont think twice to sell you something thats completely unsuitable for your engine to make a quick buck. Again, if you're in doubt, do a board search or ask on here directly and you'll get the best advice guaranteed.

Totally unsuitable for track/spirited country road driving.
I always thought CGB was a breaker :confused: didnt realise he was a top tuner these days :scratch:
sorry to see this is turning into a thread of FAIL :crap:
should really have asked before you broke the bank matey .
Cheers for the info, av spoke to him and the turbo is bein kept......by him!!! Al be keeping the Turbo Technics hybrid then.:)Quote:

Drivers seat - £87.50
Passenger seat - £87.50
Rear seats - £65

Door cards - £60
Whatever I change they are just crazy money for them. I could sell you my whole raider for that price and you will have a spare seat. a spare parcel shelf. And raider alloys.
Is the FMIC brand new??

cgb is expensive but ive used him a few times for daft bits and bosb, and his delviery time is spot on. I brought 2 doors locks, and boot lock and a Petrol cap, plus the key for £28 delivered.
mate as long as your happy dont worry what other people say.
but do shop around you can get things abit cheaper within the club and its members! ;)
Yeh am learnin the hard way about the not shoppin around part :(Quote:

to be honest, if you are happy, then that is what counts.
you looked for a month for a raider interior with no results. - so you go out and buy one. its a simple case of supply and demand.
you will find that alot of people on this site, will lambast you for spending that amount of money on an interior, that they could have sold you for half the price...however, if you came on here asking for a raider interior i reckon there would have been a 95% chance that no one would have had one for sale. - the only reason it is now, is due to the wonga you've just spent on it.
as for the t28, fit it and enjoy it. it will require you to change your driving style to get the best from it, but for ultimate power thats what you need to do. the smaller t25 type turbos are good for back lanes and twisty roads, it depends on what type of driving you do.
Well I couldnt find a raider interior anywhere!:(Quote:

As has been said, as long as you're happy, and you've got what you're after, that's the main thing. I think Sparkie has summed it up pretty well in the post above.Quote:

Am wanting everything brand new on my raider, am not gona half ass anything on it. U will understand when u c it in the flesh. Av got the money to spend on it so am going to :cooter:
I was putting that comment to Bill. I prefer working on a budget. Spent too much on one car and trying to do the opposite on another. Makes it more interesting trying to source parts for a raider.

:crap:? Good for you though buddy, i'll look forward to seeing it!
I cant wait to get it out and about. Am wanting to go for a standard raider look on the outside, bar the ronals. A standard interior and a 200bhp engine with ALL the goodies, chromed silicon hoses etc. :D
ahh man dont kick start this off again:sad2: his last thread had to be deleted as it was flooded with comments about spelling/lingo etc. some people cant! period. so before we see a repeat of the last thread can we keep on topic pleeeese:DQuote:

You could even leave it in say 4th and the spool up would be immense.
A T28 with a decent intercooling is IMO a nice turbo for trackdays, ok not so much the technical tracks like Rockingham where you're braking on 90 degree bends and not enough straights between bends but Nurburgring or Donington Park where you can really open it up most if the time.

I wish I had the money to buy what I wanted when I wanted. You are very fortunate in todays economical climate so enjoy it as much as you can! :agree:
Do you know what,
I was going through some off my 1st few post of the old rtoc... to say i felt small was an understatement.
I thought BBPT/K-Tec & CGB where god like, i spent a f*cking fortune of bling and crap that wernt needed, I thought a Tarmac bodykit was a Dimma Body kit etc etc
A serious lesson has been learnt by myself & i am sure 90% of the members on here will agree they have also learnt & hopefully saved lots of £'s.
Tuner's/breakers are out there to make money, members are out there to be helpfull & to make friends (in most case's).
R5GTTDrew - I hope your seats are mint i really do, i personally wouldnt pay that kind of money but hey ho.... i most likely would of done back in the old days tho.
As for the Turbo I have a T28 with a pace frount mount, to say its good on the road is anderstatement but as Ricardo said does take a while to boost up but once its there its all good - Think it would suit a 285 cam or something like that tho.
Next time you want to buy X why not start a topic about X, answer the questions asked & i am sure you will get all the usefull help you need.
wanna buy my whole car? lol
i never pay full price, if i can't get discount i go somewhere else... its how i got where i am with my car on my ****e wage...
That T28 and a proper T25 won't have much difference in spool up, as they both use the same trim wheel and exhaust housing.
That price is a tad extravagant for a second hand turbo aswell:crap:. With all new parts and a new -31 I could do one for £650, although i'd need an old T2 as an exchange.
What's a used T04 cossie rs500 worth ???
I've been offered one but I think it must be gold plated :coffee:
Wish I had that kind of money to throw at my 5 :D good on ya mate, you want the best and can only go on what you know. Like others said though, in the future if you want a bit of advice to save a few pennies then don't be afraid to ask. Enjoy the 5, hope it looks awesome when complete
I spoke with the guy at CGB today on the emails and av managed to slice the order to one peice, I am only buying the interior.
I have decided to just fire out the same email to
BBtuning
K-tec
GTTuning
asking them all if they can give me a price on a complete rebuild and a BHP figure of 200bhp (proven), but to also have all the engine bay bling bling chromed and to have polished alloy tanks, also silicone hoses etc.
I am going for a look of standard Raider interior and exterior, apart from the ronal turbos and it being lowered. And then the engine bay to be the big thing, something like the one on the GTTuning website.:D
Drew, Drop a PM to TheMaster regarding your engine build... https://www.rtoc.org/boards/member.php?u=8
He does top work and will get you a more gen 200bhp than most tuners...
Also theres nothing special with 200bhp, both my 5's run 170-180bhp and both make me smile on road & track..
My latest 5 will only have 130-150bhp but will be a lethal track toy ;)
i had mine built by colin aka the master, fantastic guy, fantastic work, highly recommended, check my profile for pics during the build!!Quote:

glad you got the bits you needed mate maybe a little expensive.
but at least ull have it and be able to fit it when it comes.
shopping about is ok but if you have the money and want the job done id do exactly the same good on ya :D

id love to be able to spend spend spend cash like your doing andrew:cry: i can see your car being very nice when its complete:agree: obviously only if you keep the bodywork std;)

Yeh the bodywork will be kept standard Raider spec, it will be the engine bay that will get the big changes. I might even buy a set of speedlines and and get them to the Raider colour and have them aswell as the ronal turbos.:D
If your wantin a cheap Ktec twin core intercooler then u can have mine, also a dump valve :DQuote:

New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Ive also got to big up CGB...with my clio conversion ive been on the fone to bob countless of times.. postage is spot on ..usually next day.
He's also saved me a lot of money ...giving me advice...allthought ive only ever got wee daft things like gaskets and stuff as renault is terrible for getting 5gtt parts :laugh:.
Also when my car didnt get a spark i was on the phone to order a new TDC sensor him and his mechanic sat and told me all possible ways of testing it before i wasted my cash on a new one.
A thumbs up from me :agree::agree:
Lee, uber rare, it's difficult to even get parts new for them now. Depending on how much he is asking, it could be worth itQuote:
