    Big Bens non Clio

    In a way, I'm glad! It's a lovely car. Would have been a shame for it to have been sold in parts too. Even if I was eyeing up your coilovers! [emoji23] Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

    The crunchy 197

    I feel exact same way about my airbox I think there is a huge kick in power compared to what it used to be, feels more torquey and urgent in the upper revs But also the induction noise isn't drastically different. From what I'd heard & seen the noise was suppose to be a lot louder but it's...

    Those handles look mega mate. How did you do it/what paint did you use!? Would love to do the same with mine Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

    Play in gearbox selector arm

    Given that you can replace the selectors with short shift equivalents but supposedly is not a job with the box in, I can't imagine it'll be doable on the car. Tbh it's a pain getting them off, off the car [emoji23] Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

    Joe's LY Clio 200

    This is my thoughts too. If I got 200 I'd be over the moon [emoji23] Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

    K20 my Clio

    Lots of people are chucking them in twingos nowadays too. The likes of beaniesport often buy the 197/200 engines for the twingo conversions Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

    The crunchy 197

    Yeah basically the exact same I did with the scuttle panel. Good idea on cutting the hose down actually, I hadn't thought of that. May do the same as it's a mega tight fit in there. May also look at doing the same with the fuse boxes. I just have mine cable tied up at the moment Sent from...

    The crunchy 197

    Did a similar thing with my distribution box under the bay too. Mounted using the same hole on the battery/gearbox mounting tray Though I haven't got a V6 mounting plate yet How did you get your fuse box all the back at the ECU? Looks tidy there. Also, one thing to be wary of, the intake...

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    Yeah to be fair I like the idea of having the extra bit of torque. I do love revving out an NA car, it just seems appealing to do. Never really been one for megging the clios but I have the taste for it all of a sudden. Maybe like you say I just need to try one. I've been a passenger in one...

    Fair enough! Good insight to have considering you've been there and got the t shirt! Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

    Addy's RB 200 Project

    To be honest that rad support actually looks fairly tidy mate. However, there's no harm in trying I suppose. Atleast if it does get done then it'll be sorted for a long time rather than waiting for that one too eventually go! Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    I did fancy the supercharger for a while but with house purchase looming I'm trying to not spend ridiculous amounts. By the looks of things a meg swap won't set me back much more than getting belts done anyway! Otherwise if I could drop supercharger money into it I would Sent from my AC2003...

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    The package actually does have an uprated intercooler & is tuned by RST. I don't doubt that it might lose a little bit being shoved into the Clio given the exhaust dia etc possibly being different. But I've always fancied it being around 250 ish. I do think standard they're reasonably quick, I...

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    Yeah I wasn't sure it would to be fair. That adds a little spanner to the works then! Would need a new clutch in theory which is an extra cost to consider. Annoying as mines only done 4k or so! [emoji23] Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    Do you know if the R26R clutch that would come with it would still fit when using a Clio box? Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    Yeah. To be fair I have seen people struggle with heat management on the meg engines. Must be because it's so compact? Not sure I'd want more though! Atleast 260-270 keeps it "reliable" without forging which I really wouldn't want to spend the money on doing [emoji23] Sent from my AC2003...

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    Not sure I'd want the hassle of getting a diff fitted to the megane box when I already have a quaife diff fitted to the Clio box. Plus I think the Clio ratios will keep it a little more 'exciting'? Also I'd potentially like a PMS shifter at some point and I'd really hope it still fits with the...

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    No update as such. More, discussion time, should anyone want to chip in [emoji23] I've been tempted to meg swap the car My thoughts were 250hp ish & Clio box? Seen an engine package for sale for £1200, mapped for 267hp, has a 225 box, single mass flywheel, R26R clutch etc with it. All...
