Hi there any irish 5 owners out there im in Donegal
I Think Turbo ted is over in Ireland these days
nah not yet but soon also i think rox1r is there too unless hes sold hisOriginally Posted by rs250nut
not yet but will be soon in Kilkenny,
ROBX1R is in meath,
Michael Tierney is in Dublin
I think that's it
i dont think your find out any at all over there one or 2 but that's it,i know there was a guy when I was on a French car site over in Ireland,he had a few and even a gta v6 I think, but he was down cork so very far from you.
having French car esp a 5 over there imo is pointless,just check out the postage that's bad enough to start with.no gsf or euro car parts so your screwed before I moved there but now back here I sold my 5 because it just was pointless owning one over there,some ppl never even known what a 5 was,let alone a Renault,plus I never mentioned the road tax and vrt
Euro car parts is there but I only buy from mike gt turbo spares there's no vrt to pay on cars from the uk if you can prove you owned the car longer that 12months in the uk,You car buy road tax 3 months at a time and when cars are 30years old car tax is free.there's 5 turbos about I know 3 in my home town and that's a small town.true do they all drive hondas and subarus around Ireland, all there into is jap crap and know nothing about fast renaults but every time I meet a jap car in Ireland the look on the faces is priceless when the Renault leaves them like a sitting duck.so pointless having a Renault in Ireland I don't thing so it's to much fun
I live in Meath. Don't see many old classics here, but there is a very nice Lancia delta evo I see regularly.not yet but will be soon in Kilkenny,
ROBX1R is in meath,
Michael Tierney is in Dublin
I think that's it
Ahh there's another rob in Meath as-well cool also Charlie in armagh
thb I think with the vrt they area bit half arsed in what they need to do I found but was happy enough to take my 600 or so euros off me asked nothing about certain things they asked for, never even asked how long I owned the car, the tax is ok on a 3 month time but still for a 1.4 it was I think 350 euros a time and then when I taken my seat leon cupra it was 654 for the yr,Euro car parts is there but I only buy from mike gt turbo spares there's no vrt to pay on cars from the uk if you can prove you owned the car longer that 12months in the uk,You car buy road tax 3 months at a time and when cars are 30years old car tax is free.there's 5 turbos about I know 3 in my home town and that's a small town.true do they all drive hondas and subarus around Ireland, all there into is jap crap and know nothing about fast renaults but every time I meet a jap car in Ireland the look on the faces is priceless when the Renault leaves them like a sitting duck.so pointless having a Renault in Ireland I don't thing so it's to much funits still a lot mate
for the ppl over there I cant knock them but for the government I wont even start.
I was to the west of Ireland over galway but was in tuam,20 miles from the main town and that road some times can be death traps (n17 I think it was)
one day I remember a car overtaking a car and then being over taken buy another car couldn't belive it
there could be massive changes that could be made over there but the gov are just set in there ways driving the country into the mud
was it a black delta on a 89 plate id seen one at knock airport one day I was pretty surprised to say the least
No the one I have seen is a tidy looking red one, I have tried to get a pic of it but I can never get the camera on quick enough!
Old thread i know, im in the midlands. Not too many around these days.
Where abouts mate? My family are in Westmeath.

Its getting work done to put it back on the road at the minute have'nt driven it in three years or more. So its going out this year, waited long enough.
Hi Dave is yours grey reg 91-wh getting clutch done at athlone auto centre
Thats her, i know you had one of mickeys down for a bit of tlc, he was telling me. Thats a seriously impressive car you have going there mate.
If you need any work tuning your car or welding or engine conversions gives shout as I got full working garage here, building a 5 gt turbo here at the moment for someone in kilkenny
Will do cheers.
Had the gtt started for the first time in about 3 years this evening!!! Ran like a dream, cant wait to get it back on the road

Cheers bud thanks,Cool good going are you coming down to Kilkenny on the 30august to classic car show for renaults with Michael regards rob
Yep thats the plan, really looking forward to it.
Turns out we both got presents of tickets to the Ireland v Wales rugby match on the 29th so we have to try and figure out a way to get down for a few pints on the Saturday night.
i'll be moving to laois soon enough
Watch out for the buffalo's
Oh no your getting closer
Was looking through some old threads, did you ever manage to get some standard size tyres?Oh no your getting closer
I could do with two uniroyals.
Could only get hold of two uniroyals from the uk, semperit do tyres in the right size 195/55r13 can be got in Dublin ask robxr1 where to get them as he has them on his extra van
discount tires in blanchardstown should be able to get semperits, i got the uni's off camskill,
and its just so i dont have to hear you complain about the 2 hour drive
Thanks lads,
Ideally want two uniroyals as ive got two good ones here already. Thanks again.
would you consider a trade? ive two with under 1000 mile on them in good nick but i dont think they will take the power of the van
a pair of these
