R3 GBH BOUGHT!

Postby simonsays74 » Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:24 pm

I have bought a 1998 Venturi Atlantique 300 24v Twin Turbo RHD.

It is the 3.0ltr belt driven engine, like Clio V6.

It was the car in the 1999 road tests in Autocar.

27k miles.

I have a small amount of work to do before MOT. New windscreen to be fitted, no heat inside the cabin and a general service although to change the spark plugs requires the complete engine/gearbox/subframe to be removed.......YUCK!! LOL

Great driving car, very solid feeling and no rattles??!! (french car??!!)

I will post up some pictures if I can get them to stay up!

Turbo set up is simple.

No oil feeds or returns, no water feeds or returns!

They are from www.aerocharger.com

They just bolt onto the manifolds and hey presto...... boooost!
