Hi all ive got a near standard black R21 turbo running 18psi shud hopefully
be joining club soon!

anyway heres my story i had just bought a bleed valve and turned the boost upto 18psi so i went on the a34 round oxford testing out what it could do. i pulled upto some lights and a vectra pulls up lights turn green the vectra was nowhere but as i carried on through the gears i noticed this audi in my mirror he was slowly catching up he got along side my rear door then i started to pull away looked down and im doin 162mph!!! and still pulling :D :D but had to brake hard for red llight abs came in at about 120mph the audi pulls up and the guy looked gobsmacked wound down his window and asks "what da fuck is that!" :D

i know it wasn't exactly a fair race and the audi is limited to 155mph
but i couldn't stop smiling for a week!

i love my renault.
 
mmm

fitted a different gearbox????

ahwell - drive it till it breaks!

and then ask about the stories from belgium when 3 21's took on an aero 8 morgan
 
162 mph

What's the top speed guys?
To scared to try and find out myself,would like to hear the story about belguim though.
 
Sorry mate but your talking shit.

Previous owner told me he had 146 out of mine, on a private airfield of course.

I have some more mods now so maybe a lil faster but really you run out of gears in these cars.
 
Had mine to 120mph and it was still pullin like a train,then i remembered it was 16yrs old and i'd just bought it and new f**k all about it.Still it was fun toying with my mates CLK. 8) Now he's lookin for chips and power gains to keep up :D
 
before we get all aggresive against the guy, no need to say he full of ****,, chill a bit, whose to say the gearing may have been changed? his speedo cuda been wrong,,all sorts of things, we all drive the cars to our own capabilities,,thats why some have said theyve only done 120ish, yes 162mph does seem a little extreme, but who knows?? ive heard of a 2.2 conversion doing it, so its not impossible, just not what would be normally viable for a std 21T. :wink:

its the guys 1st post,talking about joining the club and he getting slapped in the face :shock:
 
well :? 162 is a bit on the high end i used to own a audi 100 s4 and took it up to 155+, A certain 21 did muller me but on the motor way no chance :D as he is to scared to play at these speeds. not that i would ever dream at playing on a motorway at these speeds!! :twisted:

i have now sold the audi and picked up my lovley phase 2 great fun :D :D but at 120 i can see why he never wanted to play

any having owned and audi and now 21 i prefer a car that you have to think about driving!! I love my 21t :D
 
the only reson i didn't play was my 21t went off the road. but left him in smoke on a off the lights drag :lol: :lol: . see ya audi 100! :D :D !
 
graham we need to settle this :D

i will see you at the agm and we can settle this on the quarter mile

that is if you dont blow any liners on the way down lol :D
 
oi that's hitting below the belt. tell you what i'll give you a chance and do the 1/4 in revers lol :lol: :lol:
 
For the record everyone.......Pauls21t and Graham actually live together, and when they were playing the games above, they were probably taking it in turns to use the PC.


PMSL :wink:

As for 162mph, I never say never but that does seem a tad unlikely. Ive known 3 or 4 21 owners go against an RS4 and come seriously unstuck.

Still, if thats what you got, bring it to the halloween showdown, ur terminal speed should be interesting.

p.s Paul, if you wanted an all out 21 vs Audi motorway shoot-out you shoulda rung me and Andrew :wink:
 
162mph

My car may look the part, it may have had the money spent and it may have been stripped out. " BUT " 162MPH. NO-WAY. " I WISH " :shock: :shock: :shock: Don't believe it till you see it. Sorry m8.
 
i think daves hit the nail on the head

smaller wheel diameter in theory will allow the engine to rev slightly higher thus acheieving a higher recorded speed on the speedo also speedos arent acurate if you have a speedo and it has a 5% error on it at 140mph 5% represents quite a false reading 5% at 70mph 2-3 mph acurate enuff for the job

oi oi mr atkins we both have computers you know! :D :D and go get yourself a cam belt so we can sort that out no good having a posh car that gose bang if the belt snaps that will cost u :lol: :lol:
 
hey! im not full SH*T! this the truth i will try and take a picture of speedo!
i live in oxford so anyone local giv us a shout.

Tho from reading what u boys hav wrote i'am seriously douting the accuracy of speedo. btw i've got 195/55/15 toyo proxes t1-s

also the speedo needle does wobble at low speeds is this a sign of in accuracy?
 
not being funny

not being funny but it don't matter what fuel/bhp/boost u're running

the car is only gear'd for a certain speed so if u where flat out it would be around 150

the box will only do what its gear'f for

it always makes me laugh when gtturbo owners claim big speeds - reno claimed 125 and no test could get them to do about 124

so god knows how one with a d/v and silly boost can do 140

anyway mate - next time - shout to the rs6 owner and ask him how fast ya going!!!! LMFAO - he'll either tell ya or give ya the finger

if its the latter - u need bigger injectors, gta/r25 v6 turbo gearbox and big turbo - and then ya can feck off into the distance!!
