Yo - 225 F1 squashed going to 197 conversion

Hello, I'm from rsmegane and Renault UK and thought i'd join this forum too.

In short I had a 225 F1 for just over a year till it was squashed by a 72ft pine tree on valentines day. Pretty heart breaking, but the engine remains untouched.
Being too strong to let go I've decided to drop it into a 197.
She made 270 bhp and 301 lb-ft (with crackle map too :smiley:)

Some pics in her prime

Blimey! That's some accident. I recognise your user from rsmegane, not been on there for a while since I wrote mine off, so must've happened recently? Good luck with the new plans!
 
That is some enterance to the site haha.

Looked gorgeous in it's prime. Making a decent decision though :wink:
 
:welcome: to the forum, such a shame about the Meg. You won't regret your decision to keep the engine though, you'll have Meg performance with the Clio chassis - Best of both worlds :smile:
 
Cheers all! I think I'm going to go for a FF197 non cup, as it will be a daily and probably only see 1 track session a year.
Time to go car shopping!
 
There wont be much left of the clio difusser after a while with those sorta flames.

Would be very interesting to see tho, especially on track.
