Noice. I went to a few of the BTCC races during the Super Touring era and I loved the look of the cars. The Laguna looked good in BTCC guise. Shame that Lagunas have mostly disappeared from the roads now. They were a good looking car.

After watching the BTCC in my late teens my second car had to be a Renault Laguna. I managed to get a 1.8RT cheap, lowered it, and stuck on some touring car style 18" alloys. It was all I could afford to do. I can't wait to see how this turns out. Good luck on the project. 😊

3:13 not like that! 😮 By using your open hands - HIT first right side of the rim, and then left side. Do it in a fast loop in sequence. It sounds not logical (because you press/subtend steering wheel more) BUT that force will quickly release tension and wheel will pop up. BTW. The same trick is with the car wheels. Loose bolts and sit down on the ground and during sitting, using your legs/feet - hit right and then left side of the tire in a fast loop sequence - then the wheel will pop up

A mate of mine back then was race mechanic for Alain Menu, he told me at the time that the Laguna was a terrible race car and that to make it any good they had to move the engine right back and much much lower. He said that it was unrecognisable under the bonnet as a Laguna because of all the mods needed to make it handle. Of course this isn't uncommon in any race car, but his view was that they had chosen a car that was handicapped by bad design and that the work needed to make it effective was unfair to people looking at the race car as proof that buying a Laguna was a good move for the road. Nonetheless, it looked like the dogs doo dahs and your project is cool.

I've seen the engine bay in person and he's not wrong! It sits about 30cm further back, and a dry sump allows it to sit easily 30cm lower. It's also tilted back, so much so that the diff on the gearbox which is normally at the back on the bottom is actually at the front on top. The offside driveshaft runs in front of the engine under the intake manifold. Madness! Will be interesting to see if mine makes an enjoyable race car after all this effort

@ChrisTheCarBuilder
@ChrisTheCarBuilder Жыл бұрын
Hi mate! You need the engine mount from a 16v laguna, you need to keep the gearbox mount and torque mount from your own gearbox (clio gearbox housing is the same so you can use that). You need to use the 172 drive shafts, I'm not sure yet what hubs you need to fit the drive shaft splines. The wiring doesn't need much work, around 7 wires need moving to get it to run.

Yes it's fully possible but it's a de-tuned version. If you wanted to make it fast it'd need the Clio 172/182/197 intake manifold, exhaust, cams etc and run the ECU mapped for that
