Default R5GTT Powered by a 1700 Volvo turbo lump

1700 Volvo turbo powered R5GTT...

My sister has owned this for nearly 3 years, only reason its forsale now is she has just passed her nurse's course, ands after treating herself to something newer... It was bought as a rolling shell. Her boyfriend built it up with a 1700 Volvo turbo lump fitted nicely in the bay... The pics will speak for themselves, the Tungsten grey paintwork on the car is genuine as you'll get, the body is straight with no parking dents, it really does come up well for a 19 year old car... Underneath is solid too...

The mods...:-

Engine... Rebuilt Volvo 1700 turbo lump, fitted with a Saab cam and injectors, run on Adaptronics engine management ( low boost is set at 14psi, high boost is set at a safe 17psi ), T25 Turbo, Vauxhall Frontera diesel intercooler, one off exhaust system. . .

Gearbox... 5 Turbo box with uprated clutch. . .

Brakes... Renault 19 16V front brakes, Recently all re-newed discs and pads all round, Goodridge hoses all round.

Suspension... Konis all round, not 100% sure on the drop, but it drives well

Wheels... Refurbed MK1 Clio 16v wheels ( with minnor curb marks ) with good matching 195/45/15 tires )

Interior... UK Impreza turbo 2000 fronts seats, the rest of the interior is standard.

Bodywork... smoked front and side indicators, HID headlight conversion.

Thats the basics, but it really does stand out from the usual 5 turbo. Looks standard but goes like stink, plus its reliable... Taxed and Tested...

No test pilots!!!

£3795.00

Tel Chris:- 07908779575

Can supply more pics by request to slammedorion@hotmail.com










Good 5's like this are getting hard to come by...
