Or the GTR gave it a boot full on to the motorway followed by a Clio giving a boot full,
and for a couple of seconds they were evenly matched, doesn't mean a Clio is as fast as a GTR,
just means they gave it a boot full down a slip road on to the M6.
Powerflex you can get off ebay or Euro Car parts,
Vibratechnics mounts you can get off ebay too, or from K-Tec with their logo on,
both similarly priced.
That's what i've got, it shouldn't transfer too much stress to you engine mounts,
unless they're f*cked of course.
When you do come to change the engine and upper gearbox mount,
make sure you do them together.
But it wasn't an option an the 172 so couldn't be fitted,
or did Renault just use a pedal box from the parts bin that had CC on other models?
Edit : The Jesus is wise.

Danny and Mick are basically similar distances from me,
it's just I know Danny personally and the drive there isn't a speed camera & traffic nightmare like the drive to Notts.
Plus he has gone out of his way for me in the past...
I'll just go to Danny at 519, he's a top bloke and has worked on my car a few times,
i'll just have to clean it within an inch of it's life as he's deathly allergic to dog hair,
I felt proper guilty when he told me. :o
Gumtree's good for some things, I had an armchair and sofa I needed rid of,
it was in good nick so I stuck it on Scumtree 'free to collect',
within 3 hours a bloke had shown up and strapped it to the roof of his car and driven off,
saved me a trip to the tip.
They're popular sellers, i've found if you type '182 cup alloys' or any of the other bits you've got into the search bar,
you can see how much they went for in the for sale threads.
I'd do this, if your getting another car this week then mothball the Clio until you can drop a replacement in,
you've spent money on some nice bits getting how you want,
shame to throw in the towel for the sake of an engine swap.
