Epic Renault powered Seat Ibiza ...

[Sir_Dave]

Random engine choice?

An F7R apparently, with 612bhp lol.

Car looks a little awesome as well tbh :evil:

 

[Christopher.]

Serious bit of kit. looks good

 

[Zmaster2k]

f7r ftw!

 

[Englebert]

That is mental. I'd love to know why he chose an F7R, must have been crazy expensive and even more so to maintain. Epic spec, save for the Quaife shite.

 

[Zmaster2k]

because the f7r is the best

 

[daveski]

Sure I have read this before.

 

[Zmaster2k]

yeh its a repost for sure, but worthy imo

 

[JamesT87]

OMG its got proflex suspension! seriously expensive kit!

 

[Fletcher]

Not shy at all!

 

[dmallett]

Looks mental, unfortunatly this picture ruined it for me.

What Renault would an F7R come in as standard?

 

[Whiteley]

Early shape Megane Coupe and Williams, 2 slightly different varieties.

 

[Keith185]

And a fly by wire throttle body, who needs an old throttle cable

 

[kpowell911]

355mm 4 Pot AP's on the back D:

 

[Nickson]

Pure awesomeness.

 

[Bluebeard]

Very odd engine choice.

Surely a VAG 1.8 would have been more obvious?

 

[kpowell911]

He answers the why not a VAG engine in his thread.

I didnt understand his reply, it mentioned "flow" and "high boost"?

Basically legends like me choose F7Rs to turbo

In all seriousness im sure it was based on how the head is shaped. Little known fact is that the Williams were originally designed to be turbo'd, then for some reason, cost probrably, they decided not to. Bass info.

Even though Renault are generally s**t boxes, I think the actually engines are great bits of kit.

Looks utterly awesome!

Nearly

Its was the F7P that was meant to be turbo'd hence the piston oil sprays etc

The work that has gone into this is unreal, was going to be a Tarmac rally car but due to reg changes, is going to be a track day toy love it.

 

[MicKPM]

Someone spent all their pocket money on that! Deffo a repost but I never get bored of it... Shame its not in a Retro Renault though

Basically hes saying that he chose the Renault engine because the air moves quicker rather than more of it moving slower?

 

[Ian_182]

Great effort but will probably last a week.

 

[n2x]

f**k building that for 3 years and 7 months before getting it track ready. Decent monster, mind.
