Believe me... you donĀ“t want the F4R crap motor. We got those Clios here in Mexico... and you only hear horror stories about them, as same as the smaller K4M motors.
Timing is based on rubber belts that are too long and they always break in abuse.
Just for example, we had a track day last sunday in central Mexico.. 3 Clios with F4R and 2 blew engines, due to broken timing belts. Ironically, they both blew their motors trying to catch up a couple of B15 SpecVs and a B14 SE-R.
