RENOMAD Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Was offered this yesterday. Very clean,120k though no history.Needs a small bit of welding to both sills as bodykit seems to have trapped water. Also a bit of bubbling around the windscreen. Also needs new brake pipe. Should I touch it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hell yeah! Seems like a small amount of work to get it decent, and a thoroughly decent car. Been getting the horn for these since the Turbo Quadra pics were posted, so underrated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RENOMAD Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 I was hoping to get an 18 Turbo,then when I did it nearly broke me mentaly trying to get it right. Then I sold it and was sorry,so I want a Turbo again,though I would still prefer an 18T.????????ANYBODY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinast Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 21 Turbos are serious tools. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel bickle Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I have an early (F plate) unmolested original and can highly recommend. They have amazing mid range torque, and are a blast to drive. Economy isnt so hot, rust is an issue as is 'Barrying'. Took me ages to find mine -and I still needed the ubiquitous head gasket.If the price is right -and the bodywork sound, I'd give it a def 'thumbs up'.(PS. Was intending to turbo the R18 I bought recently -utilising the tatty Fuego turbo I also acquired. However 'tatsville' passed its MOT 1st time, no advisories -and is a blast to drive. So now I have 2 Fuego turbos (l&rhd) and a GTS. So,what now......) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 These cars are wonderful, really fast and the longways engine makes them very 'dignified' when giving it the beans, I love em. As Bickle says they suffer terribly with barrying, unmolested ones are a total joy! Get on it RENOMAD!!!!???!11! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertz Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yes great motors for shite money(it was my Quadra thread).Go for it, as long as it's around a bag of sand or less you could shift it on without loss if it's not for you. Trust me the 4th or even 5th gear pickup on the motorway is truly addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bloke Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Has a 21 turbo drive-train ever been dropped into a 25, does anyone know? I should imagine it wouldn't be that difficult, and would make a nice motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25v6turbo Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Exactly the same as mine was,my car was pre launch E reg car,current owner sold it on Friday for £300,totally original even the I.C.E had real potential,175 BHP,they do motor,great fun,cracking running gear,let us know if you have any questions,be warned parts are a little thin on the ground,worth buying a breaker!!!

I should imagine it wouldn't be that difficult, and would make a nice motor.Don't think it'd be that easy, as Mr. B said it's got a longitudinal engine -aren't 25s transverse?

VWPowered Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 if its a turbo quadra YES YES YES, if it isnt then dont..we have had 2 21's had nothing but problems with both but that looks like it should go very well if the head gasket dont go first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, longitudinal also. And, it's the same basic engine, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Ah, didn't realise that! Got a bit baffled by the Safrane having a transverse engine, thought the 25 had a similar set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
