Hello Sophia and a warm welcome to our club.

First thing we have to do is get you out of that Clio and into a kit car :)

Look forward to seeing you at a meet or event soon.

Hello from me too, perhaps we can squeeze a bike engine into your Clio?  When I was at uni we put a light aircraft engine (cessna) into a Renault 5 so I'm sure it'd be do-able..!

Thats a good point Soph, I'm sure we could butcher your car and bang a busa in it ;)

Car certainly did fly! The engine got fitted and we designed the gearbox for it.  When it finally hit the road it gave a Porsche 911 quite a surprise!  He didn't expect a beat up Renault 5 Campus to spank him like it did.

Sadly the DVLA has rules about putting airplane engines in cars and we couldn't make it road legal so it died a death.

I'm getting concerned now that I'll come back to my car one day after visiting speedy j to find an aeroplane engine in my Clio! It would be quite funny though as it would shut up my friend who drives his focus ST like a nutter

We can definitely make your car faster than his. Just pop it in the workshop, leave it for a few weeks and I guarantee it will come back to you quick.

A couple of quick questions before you leave it with us;

Did you want to keep the rear seats?

Have you driven a rear wheel drive car before?

Do you mind having a parachute strapped to the back?

Haha I wouldn't mind losing the back seats that'll stop people scabbing lifts off me
