    New to the GT 5 Turbo scene

    First post!

    Hi All.

    I have recently bought a Tungy 5 Turbo. I have been looking for a while and finally bit the bullet and got one, its pretty standard apart from the 15' alloys, and it has a few mods under the hood. It was owned by a RTOC member a few years ago. I will be seeking advice and searching thru this site for a while so I hope to chat with most of you sooner or later.

    Al.

    Cheers Lads.

    I have owned the Clio 16v, infact 3 of them over the years, I have done my time with the Honda Integra Type R, and plenty of other stuff!

    I have always wanted a 5!

    Standard is the way forward for me!!!!!!!

    Re: New to the 5 Turbo scene

    I can tell that you're new to the scene, your car is a 5 gt turbo, not a 5 Turbo. The 5 Turbo is based on the mk1 Renault 5, and has the engine behind the front seats. (I couldn't let everyone down )

    Welcome to the club though, your car looks nice and clean
