Boss is right though boss..., love it mate ...one day , one day...., keep it buddy , have you just bought it? or am i as allways behind..

[leewild]

had it a few weeks but had the wheels refurbished i could of done a better job and took less time with autosol . i had a dimma 10 years ago but always promised myself a turbo 2 but dont like left hand drive much as i keep changing down with the window

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

Fair play lee, just out of interest if you dont mind , what did it set you back , its a promise i have made myself someday too..., i thought the wheels looked clean buddy and straight...

[Kris M]

If it bothered you that much, could you not convert it to RHD, as others have done???

[leewild]

thinking about that but i would need someone on here with better skills than me . anyone up for it and how much ?

[Blick]

very nice!!!! would love 1 of them 1 day...

[rs250nut]

Very nice matey, dream car along with an rs500

do not do it....

it takes about a week to learn to drive left handed.

it will seriously affect the resale value...

[steer from the rear]

wrexham near chester is the nearest turbo 2 specialist, from general servicing to e.f.i conversions

no realy id never change mine to right hand drive it would loose some of the wow factor. i wiould like to see some engine pictures, see what its packing

[leewild]

thank you for your kind comments i am thinking more of keeping it now . i am going to keep it a left hooker as sparkie said it will probably devalue it and he is right . i will just have to get used to itthis seems a really good club and some really helpful people

[Sparkie]

Lee, have you been given any pointers to any of the turbo 2 parts websites? - to save Mr Price stretching your anus?
incidentally- i've always wanted to know exactly how much Pricey charges for an engine build. cos i know who he gets to do it for him. PM me if you like.

[leewild]

its already been stretched by mr price

[c7borg]

What do you think??

What do I think.. they're my role model... I love it!!

[c7borg]

just out of interest what seals the engine bay? where the parcel shelf meets the frame? is there a rubber strip all the way around?

[steer from the rear]

its already been stretched by mr price

ive seen the workmanship and the sticker on my boot says mr price from the previous owner. i know its had a full rebuild buy him and all the other nice bits he sells for £££ but it will never go there as long as ive got it, ive only just put it all right

really i would never intrust a old renault with any "car garage" they dont have a clue and the select few that do want mega £££££

id rather buy it from my sites like http://www.3sdeveloppement.fr/ or http://www.mecaparts.com

and fit it myself or bloody make it


any questions on whats's what we are here to help

[Russgt5]

Gorgeous motor....pass me the kleenex.

[mightymanx]

keep it its awesome and the wheels look great the 1 reno regret i have was years ago in the local paper
was a renault 5 turbo 2 was very cheap phoned up about it was gona see it but never did never heard of it again didnt go to look at it cos back then i didnt no what a turbo 2 was

[leewild]

russ gt 5 i think some of the cars are awesome and the work that has gone into them is amazing. i like standard cars and modded ones especialy the tuned ones . if i hadnt of found this site i think the car would be now sold i have learnt a lot from most of you as i think i have read every post on here twice . trouble is all that mapping stuff goes over my head i will leave that to the lads have to go need to listen to the wireless and get mi gramaphone wound up

[c7borg]

[leewild]

[jantheeven]

Funny you should mention that...

Many years ago, when I was still a young lad... my dad warned me and said: son, watching too much porn and choking your chicken too often will make you go blind!!
So I said... Dad, I'm over here!

[leewild]

if it doesnt sell i will keep it but if it does i want a mint dimma its this left hand drive it takes too mch to get used to . i love the car but steering wheel is on wrong side

[mightymanx]

no dont sell it i had a go in a left hand drive 4x4 once took a bita getting use to
but if i had that turbo 2 wouldnt bother me if it was left hand drive
