Is that a volvo engine? 👀 not sure if being funny or not... Clio 182 F4r engine with the inlet modified to clear the Renault megane 225 exhaust manifold and turbo, plan is to fit a thicker headgasket from the megane 250+ to drop the comp a little and run with about 250/270bhp. |

I am funny, but usually unintentionally 😂 I know the 1.7 turbo engine fits the clios/5s so kinda assumed it would be the obvious entry. That what you have would be a lively choice though!

For geeky info the 1.7 Volvo turbo engine is a Renault F block engine, Volvo added EFI and a turbo which is why its an easy swap. This is also an F series engine, just a lot further down the development line. You can still interchange lots of bits though. Many years back a chap who is still very big in the Renault tuning world fitted a 1.7 crank into one of these and slapped a turbo on, essentially built a high revving low comp 1.8 Turbo engine out of the 2. Its also why i can fit the later Megane parts to this engine, Renault don't change things massively, essentially meaning that nearly all of it is interchangeable over the last 50 years with a little thinking

Will it bolt up to your gearbox though? Assuming it can handle the torque?

should bolt up with a smaller 180mm flywheel, and nope not currently. the f4r into was a tongue in cheek comment. should hold up to a little bit more than stock, i reckon the stock box will take what i throw at it, the 5 speed if i find one should take a bit more (possibly 200bhp) defo not the 2ltr turbo engine. That is being built for my clio 182

not much has happened with the 12 recently. shes been used a few times and never fails to start and drive. currently parked on the mother in laws driveway filled with spares and house stuff after a house move. hopefully i can get her over to her new home this weekend once ive cleared the drive, empty her then put her back into some more regular use  |

First drive in a long time for the 12. took some persuasion to get her started but once a little bit of charge was there she jumped into life. Now too see why the indicators have stopped working 😁    Ive also got a few things sat at a friends place ready for her, though the very little use and wedding needing paying for might see her up on ebay soon. Was cool to take her for a little run today though |

Noooo. Don't sell it. Anyone can have a wedding. You might not get another one of these.

So some new wheels should be here soon, nothing mental just some 15 inch steelies off a renault 8 gordini, not sure if they will fit yet due to the offset. little 15inch steelie inspiration  here are the actual wheels, one has been cleaned up a touch and painted   |

i know this is going to sound insulting, but genuinely isnt meant to, but will the likely remuneration from selling this on ebay be make or break to wedding proceedings?
