Have any of any of you, any experience with this car.
I would like to get an idea, of it reliability, preformance and maintenance cost.
Hope some of you can help

Saw a few of these at FCS, don't know about any tech specs, etc but IMO they're ugly as sin.

Ive owned 2 and personally i think there fantastic - the UN1 gearbox is solid and indestructable, the J7R engine is very powerful and can easily & reliably be tuned to 250hp. They drive and handle spot on. In my experience a lot of Renault purists say this was the best car Renault ever built. Back in the 80's it was known as the french cosworth.

ive driven a couple of these, and standard they are quite quick, played with it a little, and its bye bye licence. they are reasonably reliable, as long as they are looked after, but they are getting old now, as are valvers and everything else, so bear that in mind.

 

[mat-nos]

mint cars, driven a few of my mates and they ar rapid, keep ontop of services and they are reliable but they are very thirsty on the optimax!!

Not the best looking of Renaults imo but jesus christ do they shift once they are tuned up, one of them destroyed my mates R33 GTS Skyline one night.....

the best thing you've ever said LOL

the 21 turbo is a properly mint car........love 'em

would love a tuned up quadra quadras are rare as thou......

 

[MATT BLACK]

I had a standard one running about 190hp and it would keep up with my clio V6 up to 145mph easily

 

[Graham Gooch]

they are quick cars

no wonder the gendarmes used them for years after they stopped production

 

[John185k]

they were the quickest production saloon when manufactured. very good cars

 

[edde]

I know of a Renault Mechanic who has four of the quatro ones ones as mint as it left the factory from what he said.
They do looks good classic style.

 

[Djw Dave]

I like em. what insurance group are they??

 

[John185k]

17 i think

 

[White16valver]

That rings a bell...

 

[Iain C]

toilet.

 

[danclarke]

My brothers mate had one, theyre pretty rapid but as said very dated looking. He had a custom made dump valve on it that sounded like bus doors opening on it when it blew off lol.
