The new ph2 Gtt

[Brigsy]

Just bought a new gtt off ollyhock, came up at the right price so is replacing my old ph2.

The low down

68k miles with part service history, Drives like a new un..
O.e spec apart from mongoose exhaust, turbines & 14lb boost.
No rust anywhere, never had panels replaced/welding & dent free.

Its got some nice original touches to it, Original dealer stickers in rear window & tax disc holder. Original rcl plip that works, Gen renault mats, Non leaking sunroof (probably cursed that), original stereo etc. The interior is mint, even the carpet doesnt have the usual hole in it.

The plans are to generally clean it up under the bonnet, refit the drivers side door graphic & get the small dent sorted on the bonnet. Might refit the std wheels for the o.e look. Also need to get my towing eye cover painted & possibly the front bumper blown over to make it mint.

Give it a good clean up today following a machine polish by Mr 5 lastnight to remove some polish swirls so took some pics.

Need a favor

Also whats the model and make of the stereo ?

oh thanks

[Trevhib]

Looks very well mate. Nice

[Brigsy]

Me old gtt is going to renault heaven mate, needs far too much work to sort it really, it always looked better on top than underneath its fully stripped though so the parts will keep both the van & this going.

The mats have part numbers on ill have a look tomorrow, think there unavailable though? Stereo is pioneer 2090 with low quality output/speakers

[Matt Cole]

Stunning that mate, Stunning!!!

[Spooky]

Very nice mate, very nice!

[Wallace]

That car looks lovely..............i take it it's not lowered either??

Actually still looks really sleek siting at that height! Been thinking about raising mine to get a better ride quality and seeing your pics i reakon i'm gonna have too

[c5 swh]

looks really nice, paint looks spot on

[xenon]

superbe

[Kris M]

Very nice Brigsy, very nice indeed.......definatly get the old speedlines on there IMO

[Brigsy]

Cheers for the replys all

Im going to pop the speedlines on, would be rude not to.

The rideheight is std wallace, its still got the std decarbon dampers. To be fair the ride is good but a bit crash bang compared to a modern car! Corners good on o.e setup though.

CGB is selling a pair of the Renault front mats on ebay, slightly worn and dirty but would clean up well, no rears though.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-5-GT-T...d=p3286.c0.m14

Monaco front mats, although im sure these were just the carpet option for all 5's.

Not bothered... respray is do-able... white is just a good colour to paint over.

[Ashy]

Is it coming to MotorScope RR day?

[JRP]

[Brigsy]

[Brigsy]

Popped the speedlines on the other night just to see what it looked like. They all need new tyres as one is a totally cracked mxv & the rest are cracked pirelli's so only a trial run.





Might aswell get them refurbished before using them too so they are mint. Are any decent tyres available in the correct profile these days?

Still need to get the door graphic fitted. Have cleaned up the engine bay & is totally back to o.e apart from strapped intercooler & kevlar heatshield, pics to follow. Everything works 100% now, oil pressure gauge & even anti-perc.

[hydrotec78]

Looking great fella ! nice one !

[gtmatt]

[Matt Cole]

[Os8472]

Feckin hell, I ain't a fan of tungy's but that is fantastic

[Kris M]

Very nice Brigsy,

As for the tyres, i think its just the uniroyals now in the original size

[J$£5GTT]

wow! Has that just come off some brazilian production line!!??

..

[Sy5GTT]

Or break it....

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Very nice Brigsy,

That may not be true....

nice car mate

ive managed problem free for 2 years with my cars oe suspention setup, gets tireing at times, but its still fun, reliable and thrives off balanceing the boost on cornering

am sure you can get a good size 888 for the 13" speedline i found some and sure! am wanting and shot when my current uniroyles go baldey.

[HaarlemPaul]

Oh my god< what a horrible bag of ****e bollox. That is really ugly. What are you doing??? Ermmm,,,, No,,, doesn"t matter how hard I try, I JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE CARS> Why have I just sold my pride and joy?

[Trevhib]

I prefer the anthracite turbines Jon And down 25mm. Perfick.

[Brigsy]

Have considere the subtle drop Trev, may do in the future. Corners really well at std rideheight & the ride is real good though, i enjoy not having to worry about what route i need to take to avoid speedbumps at the moment

One of the foglights needed a bulb so have fixed it. Engine bay is minty now, uncut std boost hose, new boughicords & various bits fitted, pics to follow.

Next mission is to paint my towing eye cover.

[Ashy]

tight git, put some fuel in it

Looks awesome, looking forward to seeing it at Motorscope!

[Brigsy]

Its had about £40 in this week, small turbo's always want to be on boost ruining my mpg

[Arrows]

Very nice indeed looks a minter.

[Blot]

Looks awesome, looking forward to seeing it at Motoscope!

[Brigsy]

That's oil level with ign on Crafty edit there eh Arrows

I would have took a pic with it running but had enough trouble keeping camera still on long exposure without the rock of the engine! The gauge actually works as it should which is nigh on amazing

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

Oww DO, THAT IS PURE SEX....i will be sleeping with these images tonight.....lucky sod briggs...

[dave-sbs]

stunning briggsy, reminds how good tungys can look ..although it will be strange seeing you in a grey car

[Matt Cole]

needs lowering, 19s, a whale tail and dump valve to finish it off!

[Trevhib]

Lush mate, you're a true addict

[Kris M]

yeah spot on Mate

[Big Steve - Raider]

That's a fantastic car Mr Briggs!

Good find!!

That picture of your dash has scuppered my thoughts that all phase 2's came with the graduated 1/4 1/2 3/4 fuel gauge?? I see yours has the simpler version?

[Brigsy]

Mine had the shaded fuel gauge to begin with Steve, the oil pressure gauge was broken & the gauges were badly faded so i changed to a mint orange set i had in stock, adjusted the mileage to match the original set.

My old white ph2 had the fuel gauge with no shading though, think there a bit mix & match these cars, like the different original stereos etc?

[gtmatt]

very nice
