[Fred@BTM]

172 gearbox Vs NDO (megane RS six speed)

35kg Vs 49kg

i'll post pics shortly so you can see the size difference of the 2!!! (ooh this is gonna be fun trying to make it fit!)

 

[edde]

I'm sure with a bit of grinder work you'll get it to fit.

 

[Jay]

hmmm interesting

 

[BenR]

yea, the car only needs one chassis rail.

[Jay]

loving the becks bottles :clown:

 

[edde]

What bodge have u come up with are you just mounting the engine further forwards or ar you going to butcher the car?
What about extra mounts?
Jon. The simple answer is he's still playing with his tape measure by the time he gets it in Renault will have made a turbo RS Clio model.

 

[Fred@BTM]

finishing off the upper gearbox mount tomorrow, then its ready to trial fit in the car

i might have to weld a bracket onto the underside of the NDO so i can use a lower mount similar to the JC5 one (still need to look into this, as something is available for the NDO, but whether it'll fit the clio i don't know!)

dog bone mount needs fabricating also

i still need to strip the old lump out of mine

 

[Fred@BTM]

it'll fit in the std position (just!) i might have clearance issuses with the ABS pump but that can be binned if need be

need to go pick up the engine

 

[Dan Page]

so is the 1.2 strip'd out then fred?

 

[Fred@BTM]

nope, need to get a shift on!

he'll get it in, ive got a PK6 in my new monster

 

[Fred@BTM]

how the hell did you fit a PK6??? now that i would pay to see, that's a MASSIVE box, even compared to the ND0!!

 

[Lagerlout]

I think your going to need vaseline to get that fooker in your Clio!

Cut the chassis leg off , building a custom one around the gearbox

[Fred@BTM]

[16v_jon]

what you doing for the clutch? im using the unit from a pug 406 we have for scrap

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'm going uber sexy! i'm hopefully using a Tilton pedal box with balance bar + adjustable bias dual master cylinders and hydraulic clutch pedal + cylinder

just because it looks cool (and if i have some spare ££ floating about!)

something like this

[Mondial172]

Surely the 6 gear ratio would be better for the 0-60?

 

[16v_jon]

i remember you saying about that set up god bet its a few quid, dont think mine will be fully finnished until 2007 now

 

[Fred@BTM]

pedal box is about £350ish not too bad, the equivalent item is £1K from AP racing!!!

6 speed, who knows?? it'll be interesting

 

[edde]

Now thats nice Fred.
Might as well junk the ABS setup now to save weight.
Jon how come your using a garbox the size and weight of that I thourght you were staying normally aspirated?

 

[Fred@BTM]

he's building a "special" thats all i'm allowed to say
