About Us
Hello and Welcome to GT-Turbo-Spares.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves.
Here at GT-Turbo-Spares there are three key elements (in no particular order).
(Parts).
I have been a Renault 5 GT Turbo enthusiast for 17+ years. Having owned over 22 of these cars and learnt the hard way! I have a huge knowledge of their general faults and the parts required to keep these cars on the road. Over the past 17 + years I have built up a considerable list of contacts for sourcing parts both in the UK and Overseas. With the standard reply from Renault being “Sorry no longer available”. This list of contacts has been a life line for many Renault 5 GT Turbo enthusiasts, whether it is a full restoration or general servicing.
A little on my cars!
I currently own a Tungy Grey J reg completely factory standard. This car has been dry stored since 1998 and is rarely used. Locked away I also have a factory standard Black Phase I and Silver Phase II. As for project cars I have a White Phase I Renault 5 GT Turbo with a Clio Williams turbo charged engine. An RS Turbo Van with a Wizard of NOS Anti Lag System. My current build is a 1964 Anglia 105e powered by a 2.0L DOHC RS Cosworth Engine and Nissan 200SX Rear End.
(Spanners & Tuning).
I am a qualified level 3 vehicle technician, completing many advanced system courses to achieve master technician status in the PSA group [Peugeot/Citroen] including auto electrician qualifications and VOSA approved MOT tester ticket.�
I personally have 15+ years experience of owning / keeping alive Renault 5 GT Turbos and Renault 5 Gordinis.
A little on my cars!
My Tungy Renault 5 GT Turbo which I have owned for just over 6yrs. I am now on my 3rd engine through development not blow ups! The 4th intercooler & cooling system set up. My 3rd suspension / steering set up through development with ride height and geometry changes. I have tested several different brake system set ups, including the making of new brake lines and fuel lines. A full dash board wiring loom overhaul, this modification allows much easier dash removal / refit. Full interior repair / tidy / clean up keep. Modified engine wiring loom arrangements, ending with a vastly modified loom, looking like an OE fit from the Renault factory.
Restoration to My Tungy:- a weeks’ worth of welding to the floor pan, inner and outer sills, all the bumper mounts, inner arches, including a considerable amount chassis seam welding for good rigidity and handling. To finish the job the underside and inners have been treated to prevent future corrosion.
( Bodywork & Restoration ).
I started my colourful career as a panel beater / painter at the age of 17. I started at the bottom and worked my way up through the ranks. I now have 15 years practical experience under my belt ranging from accident repair & alloy wheel refurbishing to full restoration work and from managing a large body shop for eight years to owning my own company.
A little on my cars!
I have been a Renault 5 GT Turbo enthusiast for 12+ years. I purchased my first Renault 5 GT Turbo in 1996. It was a factory standard Silver Phase II. I owned this car for five years and it was kept standard and unmodified as a clean OE example. I currently own a Tungy Grey Phase II Renault 5 GT Turbo. This car has a few subtle mods, such as a Group N Clutch, Lighten & Balanced Flywheel, Soft Pedal Conversion, Stainless Steel Exhaust System, Induction Kit, Rejetted Carb and Custom Painted Alloy Wheels. The body work has also undergone a complete restoration.
We all own, run and develop our own Renault 5 GT Turbo. Between the us we can call upon over 40+ years of knowledge and experience. The passion for these cars grows stronger by the day!
