didn't realise how fast they actually are. Very impressed with the car. especially when you can hear the turbo spool up. Sounds great

Good choice m8!!

I couldnt resist a couple of years back, this baby had a little work done to the engine and was pretty fast but had a very ghey massive dump valve! I felt like I was driving a ticking timebomb and got rid after 8 weeks! Loved it tho!

front mount it, bigger turbo, crank the boost to 18psi and rock the 200bhp mark ;-)

I had a 5GT as my first car (Tungsten grey like the one above). I do wonder about getting another one 'for old time's sake' one day, but I keep thinking that they would be a bit fragile to run now that they have got on a bit. Nice buy though!

Going to run around in it for a while then decide how far I want to take the car

My first R5 was arguably the most fun I've had in a car, bar none.

haha. No catch mate. I'm suprised myself that nearly everything works. Only thing not working is the central locking and rear wiper. Not bad for 22yrs old. Hate to say it, but its in better conditon than my williams

Be prepared. Had 4 of them, they are the best and worst cars Renault ever made.
They fall apart, blow up engines, turbos, clutches, and they all rot like shite.

I loved all of mine to bits tho, but had three Puntos Gt turbo, and still have one, cos they are much better put together and much, much more reliable and cheaper to run.

they blow up because losers up the boost without taking care of anything else. they are thrashed, again by sad losers, without taking care of anything else. ditto rust. ditto cooling, ditto r.....................

lol, keep it standard and they're solid, much easier to work on than 16v or willy......and MUCH more fun. faster too like for like imo.


r5 gtt allllllllllllllthe way.

oh and ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ punto gt???

Ever had one? I spent around 10 000 quid in K-TEC and BB performance back in the day and they were still shite. My brother had one back in the 1994, and it was gook until 40k miles, then problems start.

And to be realistic mate, Williams is much more faster car than gt turbo if we are talking about standard cars. Gt turbo was quick back in the days, tbh, first step what I always did on them was rejetted carb + 1.2bar boost. Standard it runs on 0.7bar and is fast until 80 mph, than it starts to struggle. Willy's will go until the end of the fourth gear strong.
I had 4 of them, they were the biggest fun ever to drive, but were horrific to maintain and pay for the expensive parts all the time.

Yes, Punt Gt doesn't have the charisma or looks of the gt turbo, but it's the only small 1.4 litre turbocharged car from the 90's you can buy in Europe. You've got Starlet Gt turbo, we don't here in Europe. It sounds abit like integrale with proper exhaust, overboost is immense, and they are quite reliable and much more modern cars.

Williams on the other hand handles and drives far much superior than the gtt, and is better built in general.

well, I had 4 of them, my bro had one, I know people who have them, and I know everything about this cars I needed to know. I spent milions on them.
If didn't own one, you don't know what you're talking about, I ran them for several years, and I would never, ever get one again.
Cheers mate.

^ this was one of 3 ive owned, with my brother having five. all bar one never missed a beat, because we knew what we were doing with them, and kept them std (apart from the one that blew a turbo.

.....perhaps you need advice on how to buy one my friend? ;) and id take a std r5 gtt against a williams anyday ;)
