Sad to see a 480 go but to be fair it was advertised for some time on this thread, I've seen Sparky's 5 it's in good nick and owned a few myself also. I even have a Renault 5 sat in the garden and for about 10 mins considered a conversion from my parts car (OBS). But I decided not to for two reasons:
1. I'm older and fatter now, so would look silly sat in little car like a 5.
2. The 5 in the garden would need a lot of work to extract it from the plants growing around it, never mind to get it MOT'd!!
The Renault 11 on the other hand, that is a real mans car
....I may just be eating my words at the end of the year.........planning to take delivery of another Renault 5 haha but this one is a mark 1 so no chance of putting the B18FT engine in there - the layout is longitudinal rather than transverse
Well done Sparky for saving so many pieces btw
edit:
....due to the amount of tuning knowledge available out there I even considered putting the Renault C1J engine into a 480.......that is the 1.4 turbo engine fitted to the 5/11. It would mean I was in class B instead of T with the drag racing....but Robou spoiled all this by giving me about 250 Nm in the 1.7, meaning that any engine swap into Pollution would be of almost no benefit!! Something different to think about anyway
