    197

    just in renault yesterday and looked at the specs for the clio 197.it does 0-60 in 6.9secs and its 1500kgs!! make an interesting transplant into an 850kg R5.you'd have to end up with a 5sec 0-60??

    The engine is the same/very similar block to the 225 megane and they use the same gearbox.

    So unfortunatley it won't fit.

    You could use the engine by itself, but you may as well use the 225 block as it has the benefit of a turbo.

    Speak Matt C Ringworm if you fancy it or just have a look through his old threads.

    Evo reckon that the clio 197 weighs in at 1240kg?

    i thought back in the day they weighed the cars 'dry', i.e no petrol or oil etc etc. but nowadays they have two passengers and a half full tank of juice?
