Spend some time getting the mirror in the right place. In my blue cup I could see all round the car, back window and both rear quarters easily. Hardly used the wing mirrors on track days 👍🏻
The K20 engine is in on all 3 mounts and checked for clearance on just about everything. I’m pretty happy with where the engine is sitting and how it sits, so the gearbox/chassis leg plate can be tacked where it is soon.
List of stuff I still need to sort or size up like clutch line, new feed...
I have to say they're good fun to drive in race mode and traction off. Spin all four wheels booting it out of a corner and unsettle it.
Mine A45S has no aero pack so it’s not so fast and furious but you can defo tell it’s an AMG being wider, big brakes and wheels
The mount defo needs the thickness but will be solid once in. I’ll post some pics of cutting the chassis leg.
Handling shouldn’t be effect, should be a good combo.
The conversion kit is £2500.
Not sure tbh From throwing the engine around its lighter probably as the block is alloy block, but the box being 6 speed is defo heavier.
Yeah it’s mega close. Even changing the alternator belt will be a challenge.
Don’t think the engine will come out the top either.
Need to fettle the chassis leg a tad more for the gearbox mount.
Started on the engine loom but it’s much better protected than the Clios original loom 😂
Thought I’d go for Ktecs red race mount and see what these are like.
The gearbox mount is for sale as don’t need that if anyone’s interested
So the conversion kit
Engine mouts
Chassis leg plate
Driveshafts
Filler neck and hoses
Rad and fan which will be 99% for sale soon
Exhaust manifold and down pipe
Will be inspecting it all soon.
I’m not sure what brand the manifold is but it feels pretty cheap tbf but it’s been modified with a vband clamp.
I’ll use it to get the engine in and running and then look into others after
Engine and box now ready to drop in
Brake hoses are made and fitted, steering rack will be in soon also
Wiring is next on the list.
And I need someone to buy my bike to fund more shiny parts for the Clio type r please
A lot of work and money 😂
Engine and box alone are 1500ish.
The kit to mount the engine I’ve purchased (haven’t received it yet) which is the same as the YT video above, is 2500 and that doesn’t include wiring etc. Chassis leg needs cutting/welding etc.
Then service, maintenance parts and...
