Is it possible to run the F7P engine in my 1.2 clio with the suspension I already have (Gmax front and GAZ on back) and just change over the discs and calipers?
If yes what are the disadvantages as against getting the 16valve set up
If not why not?
cheers Smile

yes you can.

The 16V set up is far superior.

Better damping, better springing, more suited to the jpob. Unlike lowered crappy model suspension its lower but retains travel

cool so basically if i get the engine in i can run it for a little while if i run out of money before i change the dampers etc! presuming driveshafts and everything would need to be changed with the engine
(they may seem simple questions but i wanna make sure i do it right Smile)

you can run the 1.2 driveshafst etc in the 16V box and so on, but it would
be wise to get the 16V wishbones, struts and shafts
