only so much power you could put through a fwd though....
Technically, you could put as much power as you wanted through the front wheels, just depends what you want to do with it.
Cornering would be similar to the Clio TT I'd guess, with a large lump in the front and bucket loads of power.
the white one was 4wd, was built by a friend of a friend in harlow, in the end, he could'nt stop the movement on the rear suspension, was going to space frame it, but had enough and took a plasma cutter to it. the running gear and engine are now in a mitsubishi colt. and it was never photoshoped, despite what cliosport experts said the time. ( see previous stated link).
you haven't seen me and my own projects have you? YEARS it takes me to do any of my cars! LOL customers have priority!

Evo engine
Ponders.
What about gearboxes though? the front/rear diff is going to cause a few problems to start with surely?
The tuning parts are so varied. You really can have whatever power you want, but i still think the 20v is slightly better suited.
edit: Anyone know what the blocks are made out of? They any lighter?

Edit: could he not have fitted wheels smaller than those moons that are on it?

but then the advantage of the VAG engines are that the boxes are good for the power. (sub 320lb/ft or thereabouts).
If you were going for an evo engine you'd want to keep the strength of the evo box. I am assuming that a colt box is going to throw toys earlier tho...
The whole Idea sounds great, but 4WD just seems a non option to me given the suspension setup at the back. And without the 4WD, you'd need to ask 'why pay the extra' on a more expensive engine, more expensive tuning parts... etc etc.
but I'll stick to my AGU 20v for the min. Just trying to find a manifold for a my 28RS atm.

yeah but if its in a clio that's sub 1000kg, realistically you're not going to need stupid power anyway! i may have to see what spares we've got kicking about at work
Knock an Evo MK1 clio off in a long weekend?
I'll help for first drive shotgun
