Hi,

New here and after some advice.
I've a Clio 1.2 RN 3Dr which is a '98 model. I've had it from new and
its used as car to leave in my work car park and thats it. It does a lot of trips
out to the 'Ring as I use it as a mobile tool box. It is now very high milage and coming to the end of its life, so..........

....I have plans for it. I'm going to strip it and cage it and drop a a new motor.
My questions are :

1. has anyone tried putting a 2.0 turbo Megane motor in one ?

2. where is a good place for clio parts, I think I'm going to need a 172 front subframe inorder to fit the suspension I want.

3. I've just bought a 172 phase 1 front bumper without doing any home work and I don't have it yet, will it bolt straight on ? I'm not bothered about the fogs as the whole is going to be used as ducting fot the front brakes.

4. is there anyone who makes a LSD for the 172?

5. I want to go down the supercharged route not turbo, is there anyone ?

My target is a road legal track car for the 'Ring with 300 bhp per ton.

thanks for any advice.

1. has anyone tried putting a 2.0 turbo Megane motor in one ? You will struggle to get 1 in

2. where is a good place for clio parts, I think I'm going to need a 172 front subframe inorder to fit the suspension I want. cliospares, ebay

3. I've just bought a 172 phase 1 front bumper without doing any home work and I don't have it yet, will it bolt straight on ? I'm not bothered about the fogs as the whole is going to be used as ducting fot the front brakes. Front wings are larger, so the bumper will need modding

4. is there anyone who makes a LSD for the 172? Quaife make one, we have it in our track car.

5. I want to go down the supercharged route not turbo, is there anyone ? RStuning do a super charger, 250 BHP, 4K +

My target is a road legal track car for the 'Ring with 300 bhp per ton.
