i am also excited, plans for it?

loving the old r5 tucked away, ask about that when you knock 😁

I won't embarrass myself with pics of my poor welding repair on the down pipe but it's done wrapped and back on, just need a gasket so I can clamp it all up. Wrapped up there's space for me to stuff my fat fingers between it and the heat shield so hopefully its got enough clearance not to cook...

tough call, id be going Renault as i bet 99% of it will bolt in with Renault parts. 200bhp can be had without too much trouble (depending, some engine's are dogs) If i wanted power as well as a high revving sound track k24 frank would be a very good shout, would need everything custom though.

lazy heavy v6..... nooooooo, screaming itb f4r in a stripped out laguna makes the right noises to give most here a hard on 😁

promises promises

couple more pics showing air filter location if I can use the oem header tank or something over that side of the bay.

I'll defo worth a look if mine causes issues, cheers 👍🏻

It's all getting abit snug in there now. I trimmed the oem header tanks mounting points to shift it back 5mm but really it needs more. I will shave the webbing off that's close by and may try warming it up and reshaping it a little. Would be great if it works as it frees up space elsewhere. I...

where did you find that info? no way a road going laguna was that light.

1250ish kg?

Brakes and clutch lines finished off, for now I was able to refit the original reservoirs with a decent amount of clearance so have done that rather than relocate everything. I think the clutch and gearbox are working but without a driveshaft in I guess it would just spin up that sides output...

you'd love a hairy ewok hanging off you 😉

excellent, if i end up with high temp issues in the small bay it could help in the future (y)

cheers, from what i understand the 197 has a same fitment item but lower temp than the meg one?

another little vid showing it idling with the cooling system lashed on, the ecu is trying to target 650rpm idle as that's what the stock GT ecu/engine runs at when warmed up.

im lucky in that respect, there's a plot of new builds going up next to us with the plant machinery running, all the noise i was making would be pinned on them lot :D

Subtle nod would be alot cooler and more modern looking than a full rep. More a privateer car than works version.

still a prick, and ill give you a blowie if the 21 is anywhere near ready :ROFLMAO:

I definitely will do 😁 pm me a price bud, cheers man

So I slapped in some 172 hoses and piped it all to a crusty old 172 rad so I could see what would and wouldn't work. Starting to get tight in there now though. Ran it up for a good 30min but the temp wouldn't get above 86 degrees, would ge there then drop to high 70s and just cycle. I didn't...

thats the neighbours. not moved in 11 months

Engage super pikey mode, but in reality if it works........... take one rear dog mount and give it a slight curve to fit what you need. Tbh after doing it I cant actually see a problem with it. Only tweaked it over about 1.5inch. Topped up the oil, connected the loom and ecu up and then.....a...

Cheers 👍🏻 half the fun is figuring what can be made to fit, and renault are really good for having interchangeable parts. Also raiding the parts bin keeps the price really low and makes it a fun budget build 😀

OK think its sussed just need to double check everything actually fits as its just an idea at the moment. I need a longer inner shaft and shorter outer to keep the same overall length. The clio 3 inner defo looks longer. I measure that I have a 52mm longer inner and shorter outer. The 172/182...

not sure, I though 197 purely for having the f4r block and I'm assuming same position support bearing. looking pictures the inner is definitely longer and will probably suit itll be the outer that causes the issue. I wonder if the 172 outer is shorter than what I have and I could maybe make a...

I think I can use a clio 3/197 half shaft and I think I will need to shorten the out side part of the shaft to suit the narrower car.... anyone able to measure an inner shaft length from the edge of the block (gearbox mounting face) to the inside edge of the bearing please?

The 2.75 inch miltek downpipe only f**king fits! has clearance and space to wrap it, getting it in and out is tight as a nuns chuff though. One driveshaft in perfectly the other side has the support bearing in the wrong place. Not sure how to sort that yet.... Will do some investigation. Shift...
