hi guys,thought i would start a small thread of my dads renault 5 turbo 2.my dad bought the car about 5 years ago from john price rallying(renault turbo 1-2 specialist)the car already had a renault sport 220cv kit installed.but felt more like 160bhp(thats compareing it to a modded r5 gt turbo)so he was a little dissapointed,so the quest for more bhp was on the table.first off was to ditch the mfi,and run efi with a standalone ecu(adaptronic) along with a load of other parts like custom inlet manifold,cutom fuel rail,volvo b18ft throttle body.the mapping and wireing was taken care of buy chris (aka scoff) who runs www.efi-parts.co.uk who is very knowledgeble when it comes to renaults/elecrtrics/mapping

the engine was fully rebuilt by john price to maxi spec and a genuine tour de course gearbox with lsd was purchased aswell

theres probably a loads of bits i have missed(as its not my car i dont know everything that was fitted) but you get an idea of the spec.
the car drives so much different to how it used to,its sharp on the throttle and goes like a stabbed rat and it has so much traction on the twistys(not that it gets abused as he hardly drives it )
but honestly,out of all the cars in the house this is definatley the most FUN

a few pics

 

Nice toy. Was it tarmac spec car or is the paint to fool us.?

 

yep,its a tour de course replica,but in many ways better than the real one

 

80s madness! Love it.

Was it actually rallied or was it one of the road cars?

Seems to have all the cut off switches etc. but nice carpet too

 

it was a road car,it has been converted to rhd aswell,as they were all lhd origanaly.this is one of the reasons my dad bought it,as he didnt want a left hand drive car.got to agree about the 80,s madness,some of those group b cars were mental.no wonder it got banned

 

Mental, I bet thats brilliant fun!

 

Why are you carrying an engine around in the boot?

Rear engine hot hatches, the best idea the french ever had.

 

amusing car

 

That looks wicked!

Bet you could fit a much larger engine in there
