Default I have one




Before I moved to the US, I was seriously modding my car, a Renault 5 GT turbo, as most of your guys are American you've probably never heard of them but it has a great engine which has lots of potential, mine was a 1987 model which has a carb stock, but I added a much larger (2X flow) carb to it with no problems, I had to make a custom inlet manifold and get it aluminium welded, but it worked great, my car was probably one of the most powerful R5 GT's in the world, but when I moved to the US it couldn't come with me
US regulations are anal about importing cars, but I'm hopeful one day I will be re-united with my little beast..

For the record its 1750lbs and has 235BHP.
