Hi All, happy new year first of all.

Im changing my clio 1.1 to a 1.8 16v, i just recieved the engine from the UK but i think i may require a few more parts.

Am i right in saying that the subframe from a 1.1 will not match a 1.8
Also does anyone have a pic of the 2 gearbox mountings (rear and side) not sure if they are complete on the engine i got.

I'll load up some pics when it's ready the body is being sprayed at the mo and it's lookin good :)

tks for now

Subframe wont fit, no.

Quite a few threads here about gearboxes and what fits what. You have several options!

Good luck with the respray!

I thought all the subframes were the same, other than the williams, which was triple skinned?

The gearbox should have a bolt on bracket on top of it, with a rubber mount on top, which bolts to the bottom of the battery tray.

You should also have a mount on the back of the gearbox attached to the black bracket.

If it is the same subframe that would really save me , would be great to know. Any idea where the best place to get second hand spares from ? ebay or maybe some guys on here ??
