    xchipx's 9 Turbo

    EDIT : This car is sadly now on ebay (23/10/10 ) due to my court costs etc ( life crisis im going thru ) being so high, i need the money. I would consider swapping for something like a 1.0 citroen ax and cash etc.

    Hello I joined the site yesterday, and I thought it was time to show you some more pictures of my Renault 9 turbo !

    Im pretty sure this was for sale earlier in the year on here / pistonheads ...

    It is 1987 , 1.4 turbo , Red ... I think its going to need a new turbo and a few bits doing, but this doesn't bother me..

    Yeah its not all that pretty, but its a nice little car and in fairly good condition...

    Thanks for the messages

    Its not too bad, but the turbo is leaking oil externally on the cold side ( i think ? )and the oil feed hose line is starting to split.
    If that hose splits , instant death for engine and turbo. So need to find one asap.

    Welcome to the club!

    I know this car as it was local to me (owned by a friend of a friend) you've got yourself a really good example there I must say

    Changing the oil feed pipe is easy enough, check out Hose Solutions for a new braided oil line

    Re: xchipx's 9 Turbo

    Edit : 16/october/2010

    Ah sorry for not keeping you lot updated on this.

    Well long story short, decided to keep the beast ( i had a few thoughts of selling it, as my driving licence is in limbo at the mo ) So a couple of updates:

    Have just fitted the original speedlines (now refurbed in a nice colour )with some nice sticky toyo t1r's
    Has just gone through full MOT with only one or two little advisories ( tyre , wiper blade lol )
    Have painted dump valve etc black , so it looks stock underneath ( i hate chavy shiny stuff sorry ! )
    Have fully refurbed the carb, but cant get it to idle properly!

    Pictures to follow this weekend, promise

    Re: xchipx's 9 Turbo

    Quick update, Brand new toyo T1R 195/55/14s (£120 an axle! ) 195/60/14s on the rear ( a little too big ) + original speedlines ( now refurbed ) on the car

    Shame it was such a dull day and the car needed a polish
    More piccies next few days, once i have restored all the black trim on the car ( Especially that trim at the very bottom of the doors )

    The camera makes the car look pink and grey lol

    This car is sadly back now on ebay (23/10/10 ) due to my court costs etc ( life crisis im going thru ) being so high, i need the money. I would consider swapping for something like a 1.0 citroen ax and cash etc.

    ( It also put it on ebay about 3 weeks ago, but i managed to get a bit of cash together. Sadly now that cash is gone and i really really do need the money , gutted because i have just spent loads on this car ) new mot etc
