roblee8g Posted 7, September 2007 Report Share Posted 7, September 2007 Fort, Great to see you on the forum. It's been a long time, no see. Th ozrenaultsport forum is a great tool to utilise in enhancing your RenaultSport ownership experience. As you can see I've got a new car (RS Megane), but have still held on to the Gordini. Is yours the same Europa or is it another one? Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort Posted 7, September 2007 Author Report Share Posted 7, September 2007 Thanks everyone. It is a FRB 182 with stripes, 39000km. Seems a very nice car, few warning light gliches every now and then. Getting a service next week. Great to hear that Rob is still as Renault as ever. Haven't seen you since the great days of the Adelaide GP. My Renault history goes back a long way and have owned at one time or another since 1969, Renault 8 Gordini, R10,R16, R16TS, and best of all possibly, a R17TS before getting Renault engined Lotus Europa. Forum is great and very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emu Posted 11, September 2007 Report Share Posted 11, September 2007 Welcome Fort, enjoy the little blaster, and any mate of Rob's has gotta be another good bloke Interesting comment on the R17TS, I've been wanting to drive one for awhile Cheers pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort Posted 14, September 2007 Author Report Share Posted 14, September 2007 Thanks Pete My 17ts covered 440,000 kilometres and the only thing done to the engine was a head gasket which was leaking oil. Every other part of the engine was original and in the end it was still in excellent condition, good compressions, bearings, no oil consumption. Cruised better at 160kph than 120kph. Just a wonderful car. Sometimes wonder about progress with expensive routine timing belt changes etc. chains weren't all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emu Posted 14, September 2007 Report Share Posted 14, September 2007 Fascinating, Fort, ..........let's hope there's a 17TS at the FCD next Sunday, I'd like to check one out,..........could be my next old girl when I tire of the 12 Cheers Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
