CSF 2015 in my Renault 21 Quadra :love: Great video Sam made of the same year

Brings back memories of AOL dial up and the R21 owners club Network54 forums... good times!

Losange Passion in Montlhery, the single best Renault car show I have ever been to. Then over to Stuttgart for the Porsche & Mercedes museums, then up to the 'ring for a couple of days and finally the last night in the V8 Hotel Motorworld Region Stuttgart before heading home.

TurboRenault.co.uk - the club we started over 10 years ago to reclaim lost forum/club members from social media. The R5 GTT clubs were dying off, as was the 21 Turbo Owners Club, we amalgamated a few different places together to for TurboRenault - been growing ever since. We run with no...

Just seen this pic is missing so here it is again, as I cant edit the original post

Incidentally, on the turbo, since fitting the replacement I have done well over a thousand miles home plus given it a kicking after i got back and its fine...so the failure wasnt the car (oil feed, overheating core or whatever). It just...let go. My enormous gratitude to Matt, for taking me...

Wednesday. Woke up, had food, the plan for the day was a boat trip on the lake but that went out the window. TR chat group were helping trying to find a solution. Andy Bond found a use turbo 2 hours east, so messaged the ebay seller and said I wanted to collect today. They said OK and Roger H...

nday. Drove Cov to Verdun, via Reims. No issues, all went swimmingly. Monday, Reims to Monza, through Switzerland. We wanted to take a break through Switzerland and pulled in to some services a few miles after border control (where we were waived through without stopping). I took a...

Naughty naughty NAUGHTY car. Turbo failure, and of course, when it failed I was 5 laps in to a track day. A £600 track day. At Monza. In Italy. 1000 miles from home. Full write up when I finish seething about it.

I've opened pandora's box on this car now, one handbrake cable was seized solid so I fitted a new one. Now working well. Next up the wiper linkage was flapping about, and turns out was broken. I stuck it back together with some of the glue from @Sparkie and WOW that stuff rocks! Glued the...

I fixed the washer jets I fixed the horn, needed a new compressor Tried to refit the wheel centres - fail - powdercoat thickness from the refurb is too much and I will need to sand them back on the edges - ballache! Then I just thought - feck it lets go for geo alignment, and as the place I...

Now returned to its owner, back on the road :)

Just take your time, you'll be fine. I did a roof skin, and put it upside down on an airbed while I picked it apart from the back.

Never known a rear diff or prop to go, the box itself will manage up to about 300 brake before it throws in the towel usually. The issue with these is that although they look like the 2wd UN1 with a viscous coupling strapped to the back, inside they are quite different in a number of ways...

Clean off the loose rust, paint with Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80, then prime with Bonda rust primer. Very good combo.

Absolutely wild spec. More to follow soon :)

They did, 146 were made in right hand drive. I currently have 34 on my database as "Alive", that just means its still a viable car in some form / not scrapped. Many are projects, like the 2 I have!

Mechanically good but unfinished. Runs and moves under its own power...just. Bodyshell good, weldng done on the mostpart. Sills, jack points, arches and so on. Paintwork tatty - not good at all. Blemishes and rust spots everywhere. A little teaser/taster of why I bought it...

Yes yes, another one, here we go again... this one will be quite interesting and will have some crossover with my R21 touring car rep also... more to follow! My other active threads: Renault 9 Turbo https://cliosport.net/threads/phase-1-renault-9-turbo.823533/ Renault 21 Turbo...

And its home. Drove 208 miles up north on Sunday, didnt miss a beat. Another 21 returned to active duty :)

Selling well guys, appreciate the generosity. I think the images are well over £400 now!

Just been out tinkering, glued the cooler back together and clamped it down. The pipe from the plenum split with a T-piece, one for the actuator and one into the car for the boost guage. The T-piece I used, on investigation, had a metal restrictor moulded into the bottom where the feed came...

Havent done much with the poor old 9 lately but at the weekend I tightened up the exhaust downpipe, reseated the engine mounts and put new locknuts on and ran it up the road again. Oops. Need to check the actuator isnt stuck or something! I didnt really use heavy throttle though, its not...

Ah, yes, also, I fitted the brake ducts too. Found some of the wider ones to match the bumper, which has had the splitter changed to the wider vents.

Poser at the front!

The new engine has decent oil pressure, actually probably a bit too much, the engine builder has probably messed with the oil relief spring. The turbo oil feed has given up with the extra pressure, and started leaking down the block right by the hot exhaust (look at the pool around the base of...

Alternator done I do enjoy the test driving bit! Before it goes home I lined them all up for a quick snap Of course, not forgetting my Quadra which is the only one of the 5 that doesnt run and drive on the key.

:ROFLMAO: Brakes are all about tyres. You can only brake as much as the tyre will grip. I was well impressed with mine for a fat Clio on road tyres tbh. Unless of course your tyres have more grip then your brakes will brake. And therein we have the viscious circle of upgrading stuff...

If you can't get hold of Tony drop me a DM, I will ask him.

Dunno what you mean mate :ROFLMAO:
