1988 Renault 11 Turbo from UK and Ireland - Comments

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.

I love my 11 Turbo (from Portugal). It has been modified, red paint, 190 hp full burst at 4000rpm.

My friends call it "The car from Hell".

Top speed - 235km/h, turbo at 2.1 bar, Group N suspension, brakes and... sequential gearbox!!!
