1988 Renault 11 Turbo review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I was the owner of this car for two and a half years, during this time I didn't have many problems with it until the last few months before I sold it with the burnt out clutch, and bent front wishbone.
Previous to this it had a blown head gasket which only cost £80 plus oil etc and a weekend to replace. Two clutch cables, burst water pipe and an air leak from a turbo tube. I also had to replace two drive shafts due to it being to low.
General comments?
Description:
Shiny red paint work,
Standard wheels but polished,
Lowered on bore springs and shocks,
Hybrid T2.5 turbo running a high boost output through actuator mods,
Ported cylinder head,
K&N induction air filter,
I loved the boost from 3000rpm, it used to hold me back in the seat.
It was a shame that the car couldn't cope after two years of high boosting.
My best memory is of this smarmy Porsche 944 owner who didn't stand a chance off the lights.
