Random Project Idea(s)

[Ricardo]

You know what it's like when you have time to think about projects, cars, engine combos

I quite fancy an estate, so, a Laguna 2 estate with a Megane 225 engine dropped in, coilovers, with 225 wheels

I'm sure we all have random project ideas, i think it could possibly happen. I don't see why it wouldn't work

[Os8472]

I'd always fancied a 21 turbo quadra with an F4Rturbo megane engine it tweaked upto 300ish to show the cosworth boys how its done

I'd like to fit a F7P and 4WD to my 9 but I don't have the time or money to do it.

Clio 197 with 225 engine and lsd box, remap and exhaust 280bhp, handling and speed

[Os8472]

Clio 197 with 225 engine and lsd box, remap and exhaust 280bhp, handling and speed

Ktec already did that, although I think they over complicated it abit

[Ricardo]

A 225 lump with the 6 speed box I imagine should go straight in a Laguna engine bay, IMO something different

[CoooL]

R4 with R5 alpine turbo running gear.. could be fun.. R5 with megane 225 engine... R19 with 225 engine etc.. etc... if i just had that gold egg laying hen..

[Logg]

R4 van with Turboted's engine or a R7 with mk1 R5 turbo set up.

Why not just tune the j7r to 300, technology seems to have come on since the Europacup's, but keep it 2wd so not to suffer the transmission loss

I'd considered an estaffette with 8 alpine running gear

[Os8472]

R8 with an F7R on throttle bodies bbbrrraaappp

Why would you want to put an F7r in an Audi?

[bod 182]

You lot have to much time and money

[Os8472]

Why would you want to put an F7r in an Audi?

Renault 8 you tart lol

[GTphil]

R5 with an Audi lump and 4wd aim for around 350hp! Yum yum!

Or a twin engined R5 Drag beast with f7r's upfront and behind, a nice 500hp from each should do it

Honastly if I ever came into some wonga my mrs would lose me to the garage

[Tony Walker]

lagunas allready have the 2.0 turbo, altho i think the turbos different?
theres also the 3.0 v6 out of the clio in the laguna

[Tony Walker]

the v6 lagunas also are really cheap as the cambelts around a grand to change.

[clee]

I still want an Audi bi-turbo in a gta ...
The Clioguna's had it's belt done

[CoooL]

a clio 82 hp dci engine in a R5 would be fun to.. with a lil chip..

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

a clio 82 hp dci engine in a R5 would be fun to.. with a lil chip..

Go for the 106hp with the 6 speed gearbox... Stupid MPG and abif of poke.. with a decent chip can get 120bhp & 300 NM torque...

[Haz]

money no object i'm surprised no one's mentioned a clio v6, swap the passenger seat for a fuel cell and a pair of scoff's motors dropped in, hmmmm.

[rs250nut]

Wide arch phase 2 gtt with 360 Modena motor shoe horned in the back.!!!!!!!!!

[Ricardo]

Are the Laguna 2s an F4R then? IIRC the older Lagunas had the Volvo turbo lumps in.

So a cheeky FMIC and remap then

Would love a Renault 4 van with a Gordini lump in

[Tony Walker]

it is an f4r in the laguna, it is less powerfull than the megane tho. not sure on specs much. im sure a quick google will tell all.

[Sparkie]

mk1 scenic with a turbo'd 172 lump in it - easily doo able.
mk1 r5 with a 1.5 dci lump in it
r12/dacia with a gt turbo lump in it.
kangoo van with a gt turbo lump in it.
kangoo trekka with gt turbo lump in.
estafette with gt turbo lump in.

all ideas ive had over the years.

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

The Estafette/Allouette is one I considered, that's why I posted a thread about possibly bring a classic vehicle from France a while back, but wanted to use an F7R.

Watch to the end

That's with the renault 12 engine.

[Ricardo]

I've just googled Estafette...... LIKE

[Ricardo]

I've done a C1J lump in an R19 16v Chamade

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Could always take my R19 16v exclusive off me and 225 it?

[Matt Cole]

The laguna has the same f4r lump as the Megane but with a 10t instead of a 14t turbo. The early laguna had the **** pk gear box.

[Scoff]

I'm wiring someones conversion at the moment, a mitsubishi colt with 4x4 evo running gear and motor, big HX35 turbo and the usual bits. It seems the colts floor pan is nigh on the same, the rear diff cradle, etc, welds right in. Bay is the same hence engine and gearbox drop right in

[Mart]

Clio V6 turbo would be a nice conversion, and pretty pokey too I'd imagine Renault should've done that from the off.

[CoooL]

or a clio v6.. with a engine in the front to

[BILLY-R5GTT]

A cossie powered R5 GTT, i've herd it's already been done and the car is lying in a yard burnt out after setting on fire.

Has anyone seen any others? Any pic's out there?

[BILLY-R5GTT]

Could always take my R19 16v exclusive off me and 225 it?

I'd like to do that to my 19 16v cab once my 5 is finished, if I can't do it i'll just chuck a F4R in it instead

[clee]

21 Quadra gear into GTA

[Ricardo]

Isn't there a YouTube clip of a supercharged Clio V6 with a sequential Sadev gearbox?

This sounds familiar, I'm sure I read a magazine with a grey colt with the same conversion done, roll age, flared arches (I think) could be wrong

[Ricardo]

TDi lump with a remap in a 5 shell? Mart and I did toy with this conversion, I've seen it done in a mk2 Golf at the Ring

[Tony Walker]

im sure someone had an ep82??? starlet conversion 5?? looked like it could be a nice modern upgrade, turbo at the front looked abit of a pain tho?

[Dave Reed]

I had a random idea.............. So i put it into practice

[Tony Walker]

great work, wish i had the drive/funds to do something along those lines. Since driving a lotus Seight ithink that would probably be the project id be taking on.

[Ricardo]

Dave damn you!!

[Tony Walker]

Its almost a turbo heater matrix

[Dave Reed]

Now you know why the 5 has to go but lol..

Hmmm yeah the turbo should serve fine as a demister

[Haz]

i presumed you were on with something else when you started breaking your car, but didnt expect this. nice project

[GT Josh]

Class Dave!!

[GTphil]

That looks a little on the special side!!

[Andy M]

That looks a bit special

Will the engine need dropping just to change the plugs???

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Nice work dave, I recognise the Vauxhall in the background, road legal no?

[Sam Fish]

I REALLY want a Mk1 espace. It would be fun to do an 80's colour-blend paint job on it, sort the suspension/brakes and a decent engine!
