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!

No R5 came with the Energy engine!

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

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

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.

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.
