Whatever way you look at it, generally speaking, putting a Megane engine in it will cost at least double what it would putting another 197 engine back in it.

Why are you rebuilding if you’ve consistent dry figures?

Mega. Done a wicked job! Easiest thing to do is email the pics to yourself and select a lower quality.

They’re hard to come by. Renault do still sell them but they’re expensive.

We need some pics of the damage behind the bumper

A spot weld drill bit will help get all those useless brackets removed too…. https://share.google/Apymv2K6iQhWCTLLQ

They’re slightly different. 197 is 830 engine code, 200 is 832. The 200 has tweaked cam geometry, but essentially there’s no real change. The difference in gearbox between the 197 and 200 is more noticeable.

Apologies, I thought it was a Meglio. Ignore me. I'd still check connections.

Feels connection related to me. Is it a phase 1 or 2 loom which you've used for the conversion?

Remove what you can, and have an extinguisher handy is my suggestion. Looking forward to seeing the outcome.

I think I miss my Clio. Nothing better than razzing a slow car fast around the ring.

It’s basically complete now. People usually seem to sell them once they’ve reached this point :tearsofjoy: White on silver works good I think

It’s been ages since I tested one, but I’m pretty certain of the 2 I’ve done, both were ‘low’ like yours. Both made good power on the dyno and ran fine and used next to no oil with hard use on track. Throttle open (using the pedal) is definitely required, and you will see a bit of a change...

That's disappointing

^ this is how I do it. It’s probably your foot positioning which is making it so difficult.
