    Random Project Idea(s)

    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

    Re: Random Project Idea(s)

    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.

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

    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

    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

    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

    Re: Random Project Idea(s)

    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

    http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fmF-dBZTneg

    That's with the renault 12 engine.

    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.

    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

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

    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

    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
