Gezza Posted 29, March 2014 Report Share Posted 29, March 2014 ahh ok yeah I have had 3 of them they go ok til they go pop lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrastu Posted 29, March 2014 Report Share Posted 29, March 2014 ahh ok yeah I have had 3 of them they go ok til they go pop lol They usually go "pop" due to bleed valves. Boost hungry kids turned them up without re-jetting the carb and getting the fueling checked on a RR, to much boost, heat and not enough fuel results in detonation and split liners or blown head gaskets. That little 1.4 can be tuned to a reliable 250+ bhp if you watch the setup, there are cars with more.

Gezza Posted 30, March 2014 Report Share Posted 30, March 2014 The engines are good very old proven pushrod engine if memory serves me correct from the 60s! but yeah people do wind the boost up and expect them to be ok.. cooling and fuel biggest problem on a r5 I had j5 gtt skeete widebody plus a s1 in pearl white and a grey ph2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eire Posted 31, March 2014 Report Share Posted 31, March 2014 Welcome mate.You will have to upload them to a host like Photobucket or flicker and copy the link from them. Great car. I have had a few including two Raiders, currently have a gun metal grey phase II. They are what triggered my love for Renault/RS. I still have mine sat up in the garage in Ireland, it's worth too much to me to let go for €2,000 .
