Remember reading this idea somewhere but has it been done?? R5 shell with clio 1.8 16v lower arms and anti roll bar , shocks with R5 phase 2 top hats, Clio 1.8 16v rear beam. Would give the 5 and wider track! But what about the camber etc, would it work !? Oh yea and power steering to as looking at B18ft

Penfolds car (16v bike carbs) has the front end of a clio, (suspension and brakes etc) you can go wider still with certain Renault parts from other models to increase track and caster, the rear beams of clio and r5 are interchangeable, but with a bit of machine work the r5 rear beams are able to have adjustable camber and toe.
Give me a shout for a conversion ;)
Pas is also do able as per alistairs rally car, using Saxo electrical pas pump and clio 16v/megane rack.
