It will have the N/A version of the C1J engine as found in the 5 GTT meaning it has a beastly 60bhp.

Not sure on the trim spec but not likely to be amazing, as after all they are cheap runabouts for doing the food shopping in!

its an L reg though ben(93 i would think) ,are you sure it has not got the energy engine ??

Site Subscriber Joined: 07 Oct 2004 Posts: 2281

No R5 came with the Energy engine!

All the 1.4 R5's have the C1J as far as I know.

Slap the 1.4 turbo engine in there Razz

Thats quite a late reg 5, only made up to an N plate?

that sounds like slapping a 16v engine into a non valver r19 ,not ideal though is it ???

nahh ,i dont want to make it too fast and uneconomical ,just want to make it a bit luxurious and good looking .

and might keep as an emergency car or sell it after a while but at least its something to work on just for the fun of it

Having an emergancy car if a 19 16v is your main car is a sound plan.

i have gone to see the thing today ,its a really ugly car with no toys at all .
the drivers seat need welding to the subframe ,passenger side wing has some proper damage , engine sounds well dodgy etc etc

i am not having it
thinking about a second car again on my way back ,i realised it has to be another renault 19 ,not necessarily a 16v but deffo a renault 19

i know r5 gtt s came with 15" alloys but this is a campus 1.4 and thought 15" would rub the arches

i got good plans for this car Very Happy

since when did any gtt come with 15 inch alloys?

Also how can you insure and tax a car in an hour? You need the cover note to get tax.

15's will go on a non GTT with 195/45s and give no rubbing provided its not lowered.

Lowered...i had to grind away part of the rear arch lip but that was on a 7" wheel - I reckon if you're on a 6.5" wheel with a 185 tyre you'll be fine.

17's will go on a 5 as well. theres even been plenty with 1's, you just need to grind back the arch lip but thats not the point here.

how will it make it look liek a monster truck?

Seen plenty on 18's slammed.

Because wheels that size on a 5 just make it look odd IMO...i mean an 18 is almost half the hieght of the bodyshell...just wrong i think.
