OLLIeRB5

for those who dont grace SI...

my new weapon of choice to **** away my disposible income :

I`ve been after one for years, and been so close to having one then let down so many times I lost count, but thanks to some fluke autotrader searching and 1 very kind mum lending me the extra reddies to have it on my drive, I finally bagged myself a Renault 5 GT Turbo - Raider

Its been garaged from 2003. 4 owners over 2 families, has pretty extensive history from new, and loads of reciepts, mot`s etc! it does need some love tho, the paint has suffered from being stored and does have its share of blemishes. So the pennies are being saved and counted to do a good quality rebuild.

spec :

1990 R5 GT Turbo - Raider

57K miles



nearly 100% standard bar :



Koni suspension

GT Tuning Group N clutch

GT Tuning Dump Valve / Hardpipe

GT Tuning heatshied

GT Tuning Intake

Devil exhaust system



theres also a Ktec / gt tuning or Prima grille in the boot... and it`ll be going bin bound, there is a campus grille fitted atm, which is also destined for the bin. other minor things are the OEM bumpers have been modded and smoothed and fitted with the GT Tuning bumper oval for the intake, they are also going for the bin.



its not going to be a very exciting car, just standard, and clean



but heres a few pics :

there was a post in for sale the other day where someones mate was selling one of these with a shed load of spares for about £600. May be of interest for parts???

Never rated these at all, hating all things french, but saw one on the road about 6 months ago and read a bit about them on the net out of curiousity. About 120BHP weighing in at around850Kg if I recall rightly - could be a a bit of fun all right.

Great find Ollie.
Super low mileage for the year too mate.
Health to enjoy and modify lol.

i can't help but feel that your R5 would look outstandingly good in the same colour as the RB5

I actually AGREE ???????

When I read about the possibility of a respray, my first thought was RB5 grey....not disimilar to the standard R5 colour either, and the guy who sprayed the RB5 did a GREAT job on it IMHO.....a nice touch would also be the red RB5 logo copied without the "B" to match the 2 cars together

Give you an idea. This is the colour of the one I had, looks very similar to the RB5 paintwork:
