Looking at completing my 197/182 hybrid engine build as well. 197 cams, match ported inlets to head, possibly 197 rods and pistons with ARP rod bolts and then mapping to suit.

Yes i have manage to have the an extra hole drilled and tapped to accommodate the pulley already.

Sounds like you had a good result. Rather than start a new thread. I might as well ask it here. If using a 182 loom and ecu whats the best way to go about using the 197 head with its dephaser, vvt solenoid etc. Is it best to just run a standalone ecu or to use the 182 dephaser and vvt...

Don't give up on it. Keep persisting!

The reviews are looking pretty glowing: Greatest hot hatch in history, by Steve Sutcliffe Chris Harris thoughts on it Some eye watering comparison made here:

How much does a spray job like that cost to the average punter? Rather than a Schmee special?

I guess the mk2 is lighter and the mk3 is heavier to get the best bang you have to have more power output out of the K 20 in the Mark three chassis

K20 with ITBs on a Mk2 or Mk3 chassis, pros and cons?

Good stuff Marc! Btw what made you contemplate even selling it?

Looks great, good job on the polishing. I think the effort was well rewarded.

If you could pick just the one car i wonder which you'd keep. Surely bang for buck the Trophy is the better of the two red cars.

Car interior looks great !

Also once timed up. In this instance I timed my 197 cams with a 7 degree custom timing tool, you can drive the car sedately on Rs tuner 98 .cal file to a mapper for a final tune.

Nice! What’s it like with the new rack?

Plenty of clearance there!

Thank you! Appreciate the reply and advice there.

Anyone know either the a052 in a 205/50/16 will fit with sachs combined with Eibach Sportlines? As they give a 25-30mm drop?

Wow! Just stunning

Great result there, must drive sensational. Looking great in the bay as well with the painted manifold. I'd recommend some Autosol to polish up the cambelt cover and the engine mount. It will clean up nicely with some elbow grease.

Wonder what the issue was?

How did you go with this? Any ideas on which sealant to use and tips on it.

Did you get to the bottom of this?

gam_817 here :)

BC DS coilovers, as i dont think youd find a better bang for buck setup. After that your looking at 1% gains in concert with driver skill.

I'd be worried seeing that in my rear view mirror :)

I always thought the itg maxogen carbon kit was the best

Please for the love, pull the leaves out the engine bay and wipe it down! :)

Wow what a great Clio meet!! So many damn clios in the one spot 👍👍

Nice one Ali, Whats the car drive like now with all the changes such as the diff? Is there a noticable difference when ragging it on the streets?
