Here is a couple of variations i have just photoshopped for smooth front bumper (image off google)

Standard


Smooth (1) - Grill cut out


Smooth (2) - small grill in bumper


Smooth (3) - small/bigger cutout


Personally i like number (1) after editing but i think 2&3 will look better once intercooler/rad is sitting behind bumper

Post comments below, all opinons welcone!

Renault 5 GT Turbo / Re: Turbo Rebuild

« on: 22:07, Mon 24 January 2011 »

I just rebuilt my t2 with a 360 thrust bearing and new shaft bearings etc.
I used some of the missus nail polish to mark the positions of the turbine wheel in relation to the compressor wheel, and lined it all back up on reassembly, all thats needed is very small circlip pliers
and to be careful when removing the turbine housing as you can damage the wheel.  no problems
yet at 18 psi, but time will tell.  

good effort bud

I am just starting my Campus Turbo Conversion/Project and would like to see how many of you think Standard GT Bumpers would look better on the 5 with gt bodykit or Smoothed Campus Bumpers with GT Side skirts,

please cast your vote above and leave comments below

thank you please

where is best place to send one to get rebuilt then?

what it is, is the engine i am buying to put into my campus doesnt come with the carb or turbo and im jut looking at sourcing each of them but wasnt sure if it was worth swerving turbos that need rebulding
