come on guys it didnt handle like a 205, but the lightweight, plus all the ainchent pushrod torque, it cant be that bad?? i see it as the lunatic hot hatch! the lack of engineering- the noise - the looks (at the time) the way it can kill you in a light crash - - - does this not appeal to no one? My car gave me so much feedback from the engine - suspension - brakes etc

what was it like for renault garages offerering warranties,when selling cars to divs with no idea. what this car a long headache for renault

Christ must have been p1ssed when i started this topic, i cant remember doing it!?

There have been one or two attempts at fuel injection, dunno the ins and outs but cost was always £2k plus so not really worth it - a properly set up carb aint too bad.

The 1.7 lump is strong, but i think people have trouble getting big power out of them (200 plus bhp, 1 bar plus boost) I think the injection system limits boost. Most people kept the 1.4 for 200+ bhp.

That a lovely looking 5 above, they need to be kept standard body wise. One day i'll be able to afford a sunday car and it will probably be a 5 - there soo bad there good!
