They are such a cheap engine, never paid more than £50 for one. nearly bought a Megane on tueday night down auctions with you in mind. i keep an eye out for some cheapys down this end, and if you spot any let me know and i can collect etc.
If i can get one cheap, i'll remove lump and mark out wires for you. if you can get a megane coupe 8v might be better as should have a JC5 code Box.
Removed subframe from donor yet?

Cheers fella thats v good of you
Subframe, mounts,box etc are out this weekend.
I know its an odd one,but I have heard good things about 5's with the 2 litre 8 Valver

they don't quite rev as high standard, but have good torque, and tbh with the lack of aerodymanics top revs probs wont make a difference, if not you need more, i looked at using a Volvo 1.7turbo on one. the 2.0l 8 valve still has tunning potential, and there are plenty of race built Formula renault engines that crop up now and again. the old 1700s do too!
There will be so much more space than using a valver set up. If the starter fails on a valver which they reqularly do its a pain in the neck. A 8 valve will fit without having to chop the slam panel. that said If you build it up onto your spare subframe it should go up fine anyway.

Any idea on the brakes?

[Bioshock]

I have vented discs,the same set up as a standard Turbo.
Was going to fit the rear disc set up,but there are guys running well over 200 brake in their Campus conversions over on the GTT Forum, say it isn't worth the bother,as the fronts do 90% of the work.
Still,if a rear turbo beam comes up cheap,it would be nice to do

Agghhhh! ;D

i got a 1.8 16v from a 51 plate ph2 laguna?(still in the car at the mo, but i'm considering breaking it), dunno if thats any use? think its an f4p?

thats an nigmare to wire, it could be done, as its similar to the f4r, but there will be lot of complications shade to tall for a r5, not sure what to do about ecu to get it to work, sucpect will need the imobiliser chip flipping. unfortunately the f7p head wont fit to get round the issues either. Ridgeback, i suggest a PM to Chris H on the other RR forum

ah fair one, sounds like there are better ways, but if you did want it, the car is whole at the moment so you can have whatever bits you want (wont be breaking the rest til i've sold the engine/box etc)

[Bioshock]

Cheers md, but I did look at 16V's but as lorinser says,it's a bit of a nightmare with the wiring.
whole idea with the 8V,is it's a relatively simple job and a simple engine.
Thanks though fella.

Are you still looking???

Assuming my folks havent shifted it I have an F3R sat in my shed, just need to unbolt all the volvo bits from it. and would have to grab the other bits from the farm. was removed running about a year ago still has fluids in it etc.

I'm home arround the 9th december, if you are still after one I'm down in darkest somerset after about £100

Cheers fella
If i'm still without,I'll pm you then
