The Laguna engine is only 165bhp anyway isn't it. If your going to put that much effort into a swap definitely do the 225 engine conversion.

Chris always wins. Next time I go karting with Chris I think I'm going to have some sort of breakdown and punt him off!! Random question. Was anybody sick after karting?

Yes.

I'd kill for that car. Sounds like a Le Mans car.

Greenlight have been fantastic with me. I'd recommend them.

Love it. Any reason you fitted a new engine to it? Just as the old one was high mileage or was there a problem? Enjoy it buddy.

Mark's Cup had the R-sport ECU so had the 7800rpm limiter in every gear rather than the standard 7200 in 1st to 3rd and 7000 in 4th and 5th.

Wondered how long it would be before somebody pointed the blame at me lol "I just locked up"

Class car. I love them. The only diesel I really lust after. With a map it will be even more awesome.

I've just had 4 Pirelli P Zero Nero's fitted to my 182 on Tuesday after taking recommendations from on here. So far I think they're brilliant.

Standard v standard there isn't a great deal in it through the first few gears. A remap really bring's the Meg's alive and they will show a Clio up.

Is it decatted?

I think the close ratio box on the 197/200 helps. The 1*2 would be a lot better with an extra cog, faster gearchange and shorter ratio's. I still need to try a Mk3.

Looks great mate. How does it go now it's mapped?

Love it Laura!! Class.

I had a ph1 172 at 19. Cost £1300 tpft to insure.

Re: Finally getting a Clio Sport It's a common term for a Renault Clio Renaultsport iirc.

That's pretty quick 30-70. Impressed.

Just some nights then Dave? Lol

Just buy it. It's a Hero's car in AG. I was going to text you today actually to see how it was.

Won't be able to make this one :dapprove: devvo'd. Between fixing the 182, and a mate coming back from Afghan and one going all within a month its safe to say my time and funds are rather diminished.

What a fantastic car. Must go like stink.

Mad seeing the Mulsane as the full straight. I love Le Man's. Don't think I'll ever be able to miss it again.

After speaking to Neil they have beaten Brentacre's quote by £53 for the same terms. Thought I'd update this thread just to let everybody know. Top customer service from Neil and his team.

Welcome mate. Out of interest how was the V6 Vectra. I've always sneakily liked them.

It did, doesn't mean it wasn't pointless. Get a 172 and stick non-sport bumpers on it. Much cheaper than doing it the other way around.

Brentacre have recently given me a very good quote of £889 for myself (22, 5 years ex, 5NCB) on my 182 with unlimited mods <180bhp. Greenlight couldn't even quote me which I thought was poor. I'm waiting on Flux's renewal quote but it would have to be very cheap to outweigh Brentacre's...

Re: 197 Gearbox's 197 Cup's have woeful spec. I can see the point in 172 Cup's as they're actually lighter but in reality is there any difference between a Cup packed 197 or a Cup?

1*2's are so cheap now there is literally no point in doing a conversion. Unless your not going to declare it as Dave says.
