After finally deciding on the car that I'm going to be putting my renault 5 turbo engine into, my next dilemma is wether to put it in the front or in the back!!! The car is a Fiat seicento sporting. It'll be mainly used for drag racing with occasional street action, going to shows etc, so I'm swaying towards rear engined. But I do like powerful front wheel drive cars aswell!!! So what's people's thoughts???

Rear engined, but stock looking, so somehow hidden.

Do you have the running gear with it? If so it's got to be rear engined. The layout is designed for it any way  |

I've got all the renault 5 turbo bits. Engine, box, shafts, front legs, subframe etc etc. Apparently it's a 200bhp engine, running a t25 turbo, 285 cam, re-jetted carb etc. So should go quite well in the Cento!!!!!

Front legs? Is it a C1J from a GT Turbo or C7K from an actual 5 Turbo? If it's the C1J you should be able to make 200BHP with the T25 and some good jetting |

If you're building it to drag race then rear wheel drive would seem like a no-brainer. Obviously that takes you in to the territory of the dreaded IVA, if you want to make it road legal, but then again the same would be true of virtually any engine swap into a uni body even at the front, so you may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. |
