Re: Unparallel Renault 16 Happenings
Not sure on my current one as I havnt got a working counter
But my old yellow beastie was 1800 RPM at 70-80
its no wonder they say V8's are lazy
So was this TX a slushbox puppy or is that just a replacement Revometer from a slush equipped donor?

Re: Unparallel Renault 16 Happenings
3,600rpm at 70mph on my GSX, but it is nearly the same size engine as those cars...
I think the Jag is about 2,000rpm, I know it's a bit higher than I expected but a lot of modern stuff is like that. Something to do with emissions I suspect.

Re: Unparallel Renault 16 Happenings
The car was just retrieved from a barn it sat in for an eternity or three and driven home, as you do. We believe it started life as an auto that was repaired* ages ago. A correct rotation gauge shall be installed in due course the way its owner comes across. However, the overall condition of the car is hitherto unknown, so its future hasn't been decided on yet.

Re: Unparallel Renault 16 Happenings
They are an unusual design underneath but nothing too tricky to weld once you get you head around it. I suppose it all depends on price
OMG U OK HUN?

Re: Unparallel Renault 16 Happenings
But the style is off the clock. The 16TX, not your two wheeled death warrant.

Re: Unparallel Renault 16 Happenings
They sure don't. It's kind of a single model dark wob.
