well i fancied a new project as the unos dragging on now and to be honest its nearly there. i'll always be doin stuff to it tho and i'll always be buying bits for it but in the mean time ive got myself another project.
needed a run about to get me back and forth to the garage ive just got for the uno, always wanted a renault 5 gt turbo, and always wanted a van. so i bought this.......
its a Renault Extra, which is basicly a Renault 5 with a van on the back. its a 1.4 petrol and cost me a whole £160.
ive now started buying a few bits for it
GT turbo clocks
GT Turbo Steering wheel
GT Turbo front calipers
GT Turbo fuel pump
GT Turbo Koni adjustable front shocks
and a dump valve and fitting kit ive had knocking about off the uno hehe
now all the above items ive picked up mega mega cheap hehe. im currently waiting for the 2 items below to arrive
GT Turbo Scorpion exhaust same as whats on my uno, will have to get the centre section lengthened cos its goin on a van
and a set of 15" compomotives in white hehe, same as what on the uno lol
well, there you have it peeps! just on the look out now for a 5 turbo engine complete and im not far off there as the van is a 1.4 petrol, ive spoke to ian at euro parts who knows his stuff when it comes to 5 turbos, and he's told me the 5 turbo engine will drop in on the 1.4 engine mounts, the drive shafts on the van are the same and the wiring loom is almost the same just a few bits i need to add. i can also use the van petrol tank too hehe! so its an easy conversion!
