Shame you've got to bolt it to a Laguna....an out and out racing 480 would be nice. Wouldn't it be easier or do you have to have the Laguna shell for the class you race in? What series will it be out of interest?

Good luck!

I have seen vin's car. its sold to a friend of mine. don't know about the T3, but a lot is lied (or removed from the car.)still a beautifull car with them home made stainless steel front and rear strut braces. it runns bad through a leakage in the brake enforcer.... He searched years for it, He told him it was because of the "fast" camshaft and the different software. Mind you: it didn't even have a dual layer center ECU

to the topic: I donot believe any "boyracer" at all, unless i can join a roller testbench session, nothing more nothing less.

Lots of things done, or spoken about have a counterclockwise effect.

If you want more horsepower out of your laguna, go to a renault club, or a renault tuner.

I think thas money wise the best thing to do: better than adapting a rebuild to porsche and volvo, renault shortblock
