Hi all
As strange as this might sound I started to think about replacing whole suspension/undercarriage (and bodykit in the future) on my Clio from standard 1.2 16V to an RS172 or RS182, but id want to keep the original 1.2 16V engine.
You might ask why would I want to do such a stupid thing?
Well there are 3 main reasons:
1. It's my first car, and I absolutely love it
2. I want to improve handling and braking
3. I'll probably buy an actual RS in the future that will be the same colour as this one so people that don't know me won't know if they have been overtaken by a regular Clio or RS one
So here is basically the question I have:
What custom modifications would I need to do to fit the RS parts on 1.2? I know it has discs in the rear instead of drums and mine also has electric steering assist instead of hydraulic one, but doesn't have ABS yet.
My main concern is drive shafts and steering rack, other stuff should just bolt on.
Has anyone done anything similar before?
Thanks for any help in advance
