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.
Changing a complete rear beam because drums don't look right

Still Im a freak and if I come across a rear beam im having it.
want to watch that carb when i had mine the 2nd flap got stuck had to poke it back down with a screwy i got a spare if you need 1
I dont understand this carb at all mate. I dont really understnd any carb. Thanks though I will keep you in mind should i need a carb.
Anyone spot my retro addition of the master system classic Bubble Bobble?
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
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.

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 tubeOK so can anyone help me with matching up some silicone hoses to fit this lil gem?

They look very much like the ones you'd find on a Phase 1 GTT.
It looks like if you were to put in a GTT radiator, header and swirl pot, then you could do it no probs.
Hmm I have all of those things you know.
I just love this motor so much.
i like this, you will have to give me a passenger ride soon!

Dude I bet your insured. Just drive her round the village, I laugh so much when i go cruising. 1.4 auto for Badness.

Perhaps, theres a chance i'm off to marky's in Aylesbury to have my 5 "ahem" lowered. LOLi sure will take up the oppurtunity to rag the abosolute T1TS off it

i think it would look even better with standard 13s on, have the lip polished with matching grey(same color as the car) centres

gtt ones
Ah no mate. not for me.
Looking good mate
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
Its not just the box though is it. ya need all the peddle shiz and the gear stick etc.Looking good mate

LOLGay car for a gay person
Right Who wants to guess why my car sits lower on one side? Im about to take a slide hammer to the torsion bar and attempt to lower it myself. This may not go very well. I also have new rear shocks to go on.
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
Wonky torsion bars? Good luck dude
Yep.

Who the fek has bolted the renix above the turbo!!
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!
That'll be me!Who the fek has bolted the renix above the turbo!!
I only fitted it there as the it still had the mounting points there for the original AEI unit that came with the car and the wires were all routed to that place.
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.
