Since I'm watching this forum for quite a while now, I thought it was time to finally introduce myself.
Another Dutch guy, currently living in the Rotterdam area. Owned my current 5 GT Turbo from 2008 and started restoring it in 2010. Took me around 5 years to 'complete', although it's never...
Right, put simply, I've got less than 12 months to get my car working - Reality is that it's very acheivable, but I have loads of other shit going on and i'm a pretend mechanic who thinks he can do stuff but gets stuck in and then realise i'm out of my depth. Therefore this thread is going to be...
I've advertised it before, but now really looking to sell my Renault 5 GT Turbo EBS Convertible. After around £11K - it cost me more than £15K to restore!
Renault 5 GT Turbo EBS Convertible. It's very rare, being one of only 14 made in Right-Hand Drive and one of the earlier type (the car was...
I noticed that a fibreglass boot is produced and interested in feedback from everyone on quality, weight saving and option to retain std hinges etc
A decent weight saving at the rear would be not bad thing with 240odd kg of vag engine and box in the back

Hi all,
With a heavy heart I've come to the conclusion, I have to get rid of the 5. It's in a pretty sorry state and I don't and probably will never have the time or the funds to repair it. The main issue is body work. It needs the usual, cills (both inner (patched already) and outers)...
Hi Guys,
:help.gif:
Someone decided to steal the center caps from my standard Phase 2 Wheels so i'm now on the lookout for a set.
I understand that they may not be available separately so if you have a full set of wheels with caps available I would also be interested at the right price :ay...
Thought I would update on my recent purchase of a 1988 Phase 1.5, purchased E224 FFG end of last year, already had new sills, jacking points and bumper mounts, but needed some more TLC. Just had re-spray in original pearl white, POR15 to underside, new brakes and some fettling, both engine and...
Well thought after lurking for a while it was time to start a little project thread
So here's a little background first to bring yours up to speed
I bought my 5 eleven years ago I'd wanted one for years but got into bikes and cosworths first
Truth be told I bought it to tinker with as a sort of...
We need a new thread for pushrods.....
Some good points there Dave, I have some longer adjusters but not needed yet as still have the longer pushrods.
Been back to standard length this year due to reducing the pedestal height on the rocker assembly, which brings the pushrods away from head.

Question for you all;
I've been hunting through past posts to make sure I'm using the best oil for my 5. So, what oil are you using in your Renault 5 gt turbo?
10/40 ? - 15/40 ?
Duckhams, coma or castrol magnetec?
Thanks for your help!
Ok so I am some way off in worrying about this but I like to think ahead
Headlight upgrades, I know they will never be a patch on the latest generation of options but.....
What is tried and tested?
I found hid's worked really well on the vx220 but have a projector style lenses which seem to...
Hi all.
I'm hoping someone may know the answer to this.
I've managed to get hold of a 'genuine'? Set of 5 turbo floor mats.
I've always wanted them to go with the car. However, if the truth be known. I've no idea if they are originally from the car or I've just brought a red herring!!
I've...
since the cobra lowering springs i bought earlier this year ended up lowering the car way to much to be drivable on rough roads, i ordered some 35 mm lowering springs from spax through DCperformance.
unfortunately when the springs arrived they were 10cm shorter then the stock springs, and...
