Ideally change the bottom end for a megane F7R bottom end. so much better. spend enough, i.e 2-3k will see 210ish bhp.

BEst search for idea.

IMO suspensiona nd get the car back to as new regards rust spots and wearing components chnaged more importantly.

Pound for pound chassis mods are always worth more. Make it quicker for free by removing crap you dont need.

Yeah but if he is uprating brakes, suspension, rollcage? and other bits to go with a quick engine you're looking at either more than 2-3k or less than 200bhp?

If the standard engine is fully serviced and in good order leave it alone, spend the 2-3k chassis mods and this will see a car piss all over a 200bhp clio with a sloppy chassis.
