They look very retro and quite cool! Don't see them in Britain these days!

 

[FuegoGT]

I have some plans with that car in future, now its 1.4 (65bhp), but I also have 1.6 turbo engine (136bhp) for it.

It must be rebuilt 8)

I'd love to work on something that old and rare lol, good project.

 

[FuegoGT]

When i'll start with rebuilding, i think, that i'm gonna have some problems with spare parts (especialy with gaskets), because the turbo engine is specific... :001_huh: . But i'm optimistic, I hope that i get some usefull informations on this forum too.

 

[ben_r1]

Keep us posted, very interested with how it goes.

Is it not the same as a ren5 gt turbo engine?

 

[FuegoGT]

No, R5 got 1400ccm with turbo, and fuego got 1600ccm with turbo.

used to like the fuego (spanish for "fire") - nearly bought one a few years back - brings back a few memories when an apprentice working at me mates renault service point - always loved the french plumming under the bonnet always plenty to disconnect when working on them!!!
