Renault 5 GT Turbo Dimma Marmite….. Heres a sneak peek of my R5 GTT DIMMA and a very rare bit of 80/90’s Hot Hatch history whether you love it or hate it. No more than 10 officially built and this is one of if not the last factory cars in existence unless you know of another. I’d love to hear...

hi guys ive recently obtained a C1J engine block with the hopes to build it from scratch to eventually put in my R5 this is my first time doing it so im wondering if theres any guides/workbooks on how to assemble the engine etc. i do plan getting a bit more power out of it and not keep it stock...

I’ve been thinking about refreshing my coilovers over winter. I’ve got a R5 campus with a 172 conversion, been running GAZ gha’s and 250lbs springs and it’s pretty bouncy sometimes no matter what damping setting I use. I’ve ran 400lbs springs and it was way too hard for fast road which I mainly...

Hello, recently discovered an original rear window from a Renault 5 turbo 2 in a clearout. It is in pretty good condition apart from one of the heating element connectors at one side, part of the terminal is still there and the other one is fine. The “turbo” lettering is still good. Not...

Thought it was time to say a quick hello and give you all an update on our Renault 5 GTT project. It’s one of the few remaining J plates with 51K on the clock; although I’m not convinced this is genuine as the clocks stopping are quite common as most of you probably know. Having said that the...

I recently bought a couple 5's and a lot of goodies for the collection, totally driven by impulse.. My intentions with the car in this thread, is to build a standard'ish road car I can use for hillclimbs and trackdays. The first turbo, this turnes out to be unsalvageable. All rust is rapaired...

Well never I’m never one to fuck around so thought I’d start a new thread for this conversion. Apologies to those who disagree with my decision not to follow the C1J build through but my decision is made and I truly believe long term it’ll be the correct one. I’ve already sold everything...

I thought I would start a thread about my latest car.... Let me set the scene, 8 years ago I was on a driving lesson with a pupil driving and I noticed a lovely ph1 driving in front... I instructed the pupil to follow the car ahead, thankfully the pupil was at a good standard and kept up, not...

Hello, This thread will have some pictures of progress of my Raider revival. I have had the car quite a few years now but progress has been really slow due to small family and illness. So the car has a B18ft conversion fundamentally pretty sound for an old car the inner and outer sills were done...

Hello everyone, Right so here i go, i have been out of the gt turbo seen for over 12 years, i bought my raider back in June, this year, been honest i was never going to be able to afford a clean "turn the key" raider, so this fits the bill, i have a nice bit of bodywork/ car painting...

This car had been booked in for a long while, and one that i was looking forward to working on. A fully restored Phase 1 Renault 5 GT Turbo in Alipne Grey. The car was imported from France. 20171018_165014 by Richard Lewin, on Flickr I love these cars. I've been involved with them for many years...

No idea where to start with this so here goes. I've wanted a PH1 GT Turbo for absolutely ages and I've never been in a position to buy one, I've always loved Scott's PH1 and have been aware of the car for years and always wanted to own it. He very kindly gave me the opportunity to buy it and I...

So I need new front suspension springs for the 5 as one broke, but all I can seem to find are lowering ones. Any one know of some that are the same or very close to the standard oe ones? Cheers

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone has a C1J block going for grabs? :D Cheers, Kd.

As a few will remember I had the pleasure of owning this car back in 2005 and sold during the incarnation of the vag powered black 5...... .....11 years on Chris gave me the opportunity to buy back and talked myself into its just a bit of welding and lock of paint, bit of tlc and get using it...
