    newb with a renault turbo

    First post!

    alright all

    picked up this over the weekend, same lump as the r5 but 600 cheaper to insure!

    1.4 turbo running a t25 turbo uprated ic etc quick as fook! i recon its running 160-170 bhp as it pulls better then all my other cars
    got a side exit ehaust which sounds awsome, not to loud but meaty as fook




    i think its pretty cool abit querky as you dont see many about
    thoughts?

    the turbines are forsale if anyones intrested, running prada spec 2 tyres and there satin black

    guna be a full paid member when i get paid

    could do with a new t25 soon as its abit smokey on over run when on boost

    thoughts people?

    These are really growing on me, there's some serious pimping possibilities with these cars.

    Nice

    The owner after Adey who only had it a few weeks had to give back the original turbo that the car came with and the one he put on in its place started smoking more or less immediately. He stated that in his RTOC advert.

    caps - 150 and you get the wheels free

    yea i know the turbo was smopking before i picked it up, t25s are pretty cheap anyhoo so its next on the list to buy aswell as a dv as its currently compression surging which i dont think is helping the turbo at all!

    99% of the cars on here don't use a DV mate, the surge you get when lifting off won't do it harm mate no need for a DV.

    Nice car by the way, had abit of work done to it.

    Re: newb with a renault turbo

    why not have it rebuild if it performs how you want it too.. id rather rebuild than buy one blind of its real condition, i wiggle the wheel and pull it about like everyone else but rest my hard earned cash on how it wiggles..

    try find a member on here thats bought new, had a rebuild or is breaking car.. id avoid ebay etc..

    i dont know never even gave it a chance. whats to say that if you get a rear wheel drive car it mite give you a lot more trouble than just a blown turbo mate. ie a diff could always go. and it would cost alot more to repair.
