I wanted a turbo raider, as clio was on it's way and could get a good real as my wife's boss was a fleet customer. She put the brakes on that, we were soon divorced and I bought a 205 GTi.

[@SnowflakePolice1]

had 2 of these in my younger days, awesome cars except when one of mine nearly burnt to a crisp at the side of the road....fueling

[@butterfliesandtape]

20k for a 5 raider, that is ridiculous! 😂 Love the hta wheels. Looks amazing as always ..

[@eoinoriordan5560]

You wouldn't see rkings at this crack😂 dream car are the top dog! Iv said it with 2 years

[@alm9994]

Brilliant. Brings back the days many years ago when I had one. Wheel bearings, clutch cables, doors opening themselves, water puddles on floor, only to mention a few issues. Despite all of this I loved it. Sold for 1200, so there you go. Probably worth bit more these days. Thanks for doing the video. It’s good to see around one again.

[@mickrichBMXWRXJapan]

First time viewer and now subscriber. Great video and I'm now going back through your previous ones too. Back to the Renault, what an iconic hot hatch but man, those electrics and also, who worked on those brakes before you?!? Great to see it done right! 👍

[@kashonder]

WOW this wheels are just absolutely crazy amazing. Good job mate. Greeting from Crewe Cheshire 👍

[@tessbushell5489]

Raiders were definitely next level compared to the normal ones and this one looks and now works a treat,keep up the good work bud 👍🏻

[@ODDAutos]

Thanks Tess, yes I’d love a Raider. Drives great this one does 👍

[@GR666]

It was only cosmetically different to the other GT Turbos. Nothing was mechanically different. Saying that all GT Turbos were awesome anyway. I had a Pearl white one in the 90s. Was brilliant to drive🥳 until it caught fire. ☹️

[@chriscaines6760]

corret and id say the removal of the anti perc fan thats not good i had a simmiar issue when id smelt a burning smell.i had the same problem with the reserve tank as well as in this video @@GR666

Award for the funniest comment ha ha was thinking when you said would love another wife 🤣

[@Albahills]

@ODDAutos I would love another old car, but one wife is enough work for me. Far too much maintenance req 🤭

Takes me back to the 90s. Mates brother had a slammed blue R5 turbo with blue neons underneath and a sound system worth more than the car. At 17 I thought it was the best thing I'd ever seen

[@css172]

Renault's do love eating wheel bearings. Great video I love your sense of humour Got to be a fuse blown for that many electrics not working.

Cheers buddy, yes was a fuse and a few wires. Normal French wiring looms 🤣

Had a 5 Turbo in 1990, Like driving a go cart. Fantastic fun!

[@JonLewis-gx2dd]

I dearly miss my GT Turbo, 1990 G plate, black, slammed sitting on Azev A wheels, clio 16v bonnet, Tarmac rear spoiler, highly modified by GT Tuning. 204bhp at the wheels, 13 second 1/4mile car, truly amazing experience to drive or even be a passenger in! If anybody knows the whereabouts of this car , please get in contact with me, Reg G182VBU. I would love to purchase it back again, or just to see what condition its in now. Many Thanks Jon

[@bigkeg9173]

Love it. Never seen one here yet. New gearbox for my wagon goes in tomorrow. Only 91k on it and 6 months warranty 😊

Great, I had a 5 Turbo, if you hadn't had electrical faults there would have been something wrong. Mine used to start the engine by itself!

[@kasimirdenhertog3516]

Bolts going MIA, always surprises me. Somewhere some mechanic has finished the job while being left with surplus bolts. Don’t they wonder where they came from? Or is it just such poor workmanship that they don’t care?

Why can’t Renault make cult cars anymore like the Clio v6 and Renault 5 gt turbo. Even the avantime although a sales flop was amazingly original. Pity we live in a world now where everything is about playing safe wish there was more risk taking with the hierarchy at Renault,gives us what our heart wants again.

Had one back in 1989! miss it like cracy. 54 years now and looking for another one! just for the summer months. the rear calipers don´t like the snow! they freeze up on the disc.

[@billybunter6659]

I used the have a Renault 5 Gordinin Turbo back in the 80's,iwhen the GT Turbo came out it wasn't as nice inside as the Gordini,lot's of plastic but i think that was done not only for cost but for lightness. There was one advertised on ebay about 5 years ago exactly the same as mine and in the description the guy said " the best fun you will have with 110 hp" and i can definitely vouch for that . Both very fast hot hatches at that time and so glad i had one.

[@GR666]

The raiders were just cosmetic changes to the normal gt turbos. IE the blue paint job, blue alloys and blue flecks on the seats. Nothing mechanical was different. Loving the wheels on this one

[@TurnMaster]

Wish I could have one of these in Australia
