[craig green]

naty stickers, bumpers,bonnet! & spoiler.

WTF @ the exhaust & the sideskirts!! The whole thing is 'proper nasty'. Did your mate build it? I'd say it was probably 10 years in the making & might have been cool at the planning stage.....

Like Novas they only look nice when they closelky resemble how they left the factory. Shame really.

[General Baxter]

[reevie1987]

[General Baxter]

lmao

[Adam]

Cool cars in standard form.
Nothing cool about that one though, 15years ago maybe.

[General Baxter]

can he even use the boot?

or are the exhaust little quick shoots into there ?

[L33 LEG]

i actually dont mind the look of that. I think R5s are the only car out there that will always suit a bodykit and wacky exhausts/etc. They are a proper boyracer car and theres no point in hiding that fact, even in 10/20 years time i hope people who have stored R5s still have bodykits on them.

[General Baxter]

iv had ****s that look better, and probably moved faster lol

[Edd]

That looks shocking, needs to be crushed

[reevie1987]

[Damo]

I like r5gtts in standard form but as said that would have been cool 10-15yrs ago when bodykits were the norm.

Damo.

very true who actually comes up with like the fashion of cars like bodykits have now gone now its like the rat look ect and putting checkered flags on your roof and that who comes up with it all is it fastcar?

[L33 LEG]

People try different things and if it looks good other people copy, pretty simples really lol

[reevie1987]

fair enough lol

[wwmnw]

Your mate needs a slap for ruining a modern(ish) classic.

[reevie1987]

i know he loves the car i keep telling him but he wont listen

[lee-loon]

I like it ( sort of )

[reevie1987]

you either love it or hate it :-)

[mowgli]

as with all these threads, it is well executed, which is what should also happen to the owner

[Andy]

Nice cars in standard form,but that looks truly abysmal

[mayhem]

did Ali G build it?

[fastcar1cars]

would of loved that when i was 18! Times change though as do tastes! Lol!

[Royston]

To me it has been totally ruined, but I am Old Skool:roll: and old ishlol

One of my friends bought a new one (89 F) and I couldn't believe how fast these things were in the day, and still quick for a 1.4 turbo

There was a fairly clean one at York Dragway in October, looked great apart from the dent in the drivers door

[TeddyThom]

im with you on that one edd:thumb:
Snap. I saw a standard one of these not too long ago being driven by an old man, it was mint and in white as well, I just stood there with the old gob wide open in amazement.

EDIT:
Just saw what royston posted and did the same again and my mother caught me lol

[Keif]

Was that (Chaved up, green pile of French crap) at the Save Donington Park event?

probably hes part of the uk modified ridez club lol

[Graeme]

Always liked them not colour coded

[reevie1987]

i always liked the grey ones

[mrT]

best way to help your friend is mod it for him, crank up the bleed valve to max then hopefully with the price for a rebuild 2 miles down the road should mean she'll be recycled :p

[Bubba]

dont like the bonnet, rear bumper, those sootpipes...

this is my mates old one

[reevie1987]

just think all that money wasted on these cars with big bodykits and big wheels ect and its all gone out of fashion what a waste of money spose it was worth it back in the day though and spose some 18year old will buy it off ebay

[JensonLEI]

Yeah, it looked like he turned up 10 years to late. lol

Was quite strange having a over worked "5" banging out "tunes", parked up next to a Lotus Carlton, Lancia Stratos. Escort Cosworths etc.

[Bubba]

the one i posted was built by k-tec afaik. was rotten though and was reshelled into a utter minter of a more door

[Jonlem]

French rubbish lol

[General Baxter]

look at the size of the rads, no wonder they over heated, my cav's rad was the size of the R5 and that over heated on full boost chat lol

[moffat]

reminds me of ali g's yellow one lol

[Bubba]

dirty more door gtt reshell (bumper had to be fitted for intercooler etc, then so did the bonnet)

[Benn]

What are the hoses/jets all about^

[Danny s-p]

wow the first one claimed out max power did it

[Jonlem]

Intercooler water spray to try and keep the act's down from running 5 bar through a t28 turbo lol

A mate of mine owns GT Tunings BIG GTT plated 5, its actually a very nice subtle car with around 240hp, it came with 48k worth of reseipts, mainly for the 10 or so engines it had killed and I know he has had it rebuilt more than twice !

Totally rubbish cars in highly tuned form

[General Baxter]

[Connor]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Even though i wouldnt be seen driving it, i love this car

[Bubba]

bingo...not sure what the turbo was though some sort of hybrid one, that went bang and then the cam chain snapped, thus hence the 4 years of it being dumped in a shed before being reshelled

[Southie]

I like standard form Renault 5 turbos but I always wanted a tuned one of these when I was younger.

http://thumbsnap.com/i/aYae2Ost.jpg

My dad ran one of these when he worked at Renault when I was a kid.

[SR-Rally]

Bloke I no has 2 Renault 5 turbo 2's (or 3's :s not very good with Renault) I've sent him message asking for some pictures as the red one is mint in every way possible.

[Angus Closier]

That green one the OP posted makes me feel ill, standard or nothing for me.

[L14MNP]

No comment!

[Lee H]

My old one which for the record was fairly highly tuned and never had any overheating or headgasket problems as it was done properly.

http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z163/Lee_H25/005-9.jpg

[L14MNP]

ph2 wheels with actual centre caps! RARE. lol

[Pistol Pete]

Really like these cars. Hardly see them about, like Novas, they are probably all rotten! As someone else said, these are better when modified in a subtle way. OTT bodykits look shat. Period!

[Mike]

Id have another one anyday.

Haven't got any pictures of mine, was standard red and very reliable.

However my brother had the one above a few years ago, 250bhp, he'd had it about 2 hours before it blew up........ with me driving:(

[AdamK]

Nice cars if modded tastefully or left standard but that first one looks terrible

That's an improvement over the first one pictured in this thread. Although its not the nicest I've seen.

[wilson_sri]

Terrible.

[rubachuk]

Yeah, I prefer the standard look generally. Although with a nice set of wheels and a bit of a drop you can't go wrong, preferably Stealths on a GTT

[Cle]

Aye blood that is like totally wicked innit a mean those exhaust's should be illegal there so bangin

[dave_rand]

looks like something out of a 10 year old max power mag
