New member looking for 197/200

[Racky]

Hi all. I am a new member, and after selling my car, looking forward to find the right Clio 197/200.
Hope the info from here will make me take the right decision !

Welcome to the forum mate, do you still have your Laguna? It was definitely a looker! Don't see many of those around.

Thanks guys.

Unfortunately the Laguna got sold. It was a nice looking car, and the 4wheel steering was awesome, but fancied a change for a while with something manual and petrol.
I have a Cooper S as a replacement until I find a new car, but this car is to small.

Basically I was on the market for something else, but the market is so dead at the moment, and I am exploring the 197/200's also, as I started to fancy them a while ago, especially the liquid yellow ones.

Can I ask here, or should I create a new thread ?

Would you recommend to buy a meglio ? Or should I do it if I want the swap ? Found one for around 5k in a 200 with the megane gearbox, but needs a remap for the 630 injectors.

Personally I’d avoid, whilst there are some nice ones out there there is a lot of bad ones. £5k seems too cheap.

Most of the conversions have higher mileage engines than the shells and donor engine could be dodgy

The person claims the shell has 107k and the engine has 90k(but no proof ). Car is in this link
