ive always been a 21 turbo fan having once had a nice k reg one so some times look on the 21 turbo owners club page anyway i just found this lol some nutter is putting a yb in one and making it rwd http://21toc.com/showthread.php?2012...1-Cosworth-RWD

 

I'm pretty sure he's on here.

 

My brother had one of these, very very confortable and fast, most of the stuff in his was stage 3......sold it in the end though, i think there are like 5 registered on the road in the world lol !!!

 

good mate of mine dan has a gray one with a t34 on it has about 260 - 280 bhp it gos well ive always had a soft spot for them lol but id never own another one

 

That's different eh? Good on the guy

 

Thats Lee with the Clio

He really needs to finish it lol

 

Would love a 21 turbo my old man had a red 21 hatch was a lovely car!

 

in the 90s i had a 21 gtx and then got a 21 hatch i thought they was juicy shit brakes cluncky gears and handled like shite but comfortable seats ect.i swaped the hatch for a 11 txe wich was a great car had loads of renaults since and even have a scenic now but none lived up to the 11

 

I would love to get my hands on one of those! A cossie renault? I MUST have one, I MUST!

 

He can't coz he's gay & his arms are too big.

 

want a quadra shell to practice on? lol

 

No thanks, cant even afford a boggo standard 21

By the way, how hard/expensive is it to do this sort of thing?

 

Thats one for Lee to answer when (if) he catches wind of this thread.

Most can be done by yourself as long as you have the tools.
Last I heard he was having some driveshafts made.

It wasnt difficult to get a 21 for 500quid a little while ago.

 

I remember a lad in college used to have a 21 Savanna that we all used to pile into and go McDonalds for lunch, same as gouch1 said it handled like a Barge but really comfy seats with loads of room.

 

I want a Savanna to put a turbo lump in lol

 

and then there was the renault safrane even bigger uglier and less reliable than the 21 and laguna. in very little time even the laguna 1 will be rare as hens teeth never like renaults baring the 11 as said even my old fuego was shite the nissan cherry i replaced it with was beter even though it had a fooked box no second gear and it ended up in a ditch

 

I've seen a lot of that gay shit popping up on my facebook recently too... gay!

 

21 turbos are cool! Lad local too me has a 280hp one was a good race for my xr4i tt but stage 3 Cossie took the piss out of it. Cool car mind and a nice change from a Poobaru!

 

Vfm you wont beat a 21 turbo

 

one on ebay if anyones looking for one
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1988-RENAU...item2eba8e619c

 

A 21 turbo was the first turbo car I drove, made an awesome noise!!

 

had 2 2wds and a quadra awsome cars though the quadras feel slower due to the weigth there all really nice cars to drive.

 

theres plenty of cars to put a yb in but nailling one into a reno 21 isnt one of them

 

pretty cool project that!

 

could not agree more

 

indeed, the value off the renault goes down with any YB lump. LOL

 

you have lost me the engine is worth more than the car lol sorely the value will go up with a yb in it

 

HAHAHA helo jo you still messing around with the old 21's then

Jo is a frenchman in his eye's hes right

 

+1

Nice car in its day, but it has had its day plus its french who dont have the best reputation on build quality

Ian

 

Yeah build quality is crap
and wiring
and reliability
and design
Oh, don't want to step on toes here but what was a good french car?
Only one I can think of was on a weigh bridge?

 

Dont get me wrong id never have another one as ive been there and done it plus there not that tune able. But i dont agree with what you say lol i had mine for 3 years used as an every day car and it never once let me down the only thing that ever went wrong with it was a wheel bearing!. Plus it never had one single bit of rust on it and wasent far off being as fast as a standard cosworth so not a bad car in my (having had one) opinion!

 

and they aint got any better with time. Just look at there so called hot hatches with plastic fannymoulds which clog up right through to there vans that eat gearboxes like they are make from plastacine or maybe they are.The french should stay with what they know best....Wine
Leave the engines to us and just do what you do best .....hic

 

1.9 205 GTi, CLio 1.8 16v, 19 16v, clio 172/182, megane r25/26

yeh there french but there light and fun

 

Rather have a kite lol. Thats light and fun!


Sersiously, The 205 is dated not a classic just dated, I'd rather have a fiesta with a 2.0 zetec
clios are a girls car.
Megane just no. Who thought when they were designing a car
lets give it a big arse and a crap expensive key that we can rape everyone £200 a pop.

 

someone by me used to have 3 of these i once saw one stuck to the bumper of a bug eye wrx he was racing when they had not long come out
