I think the Renault UN1 5 speed transaxle can probably only handle 350bhp and the torque that goes with it. After that I think you might need to look at trying to use a Porsche G50 but not sure on adapter.
I would be interested how they have done the 4WD ones as the real RS200 had the box in the tunnel at the front and a prop going from engine to it then back again to the axle.
The problem with this kit is that it uses a Sierra Cossie as the donor, that makes for a very expensive donor car.
Could the car not use parts from any 2wd sierra? no reason to use cossie bits really unless you want the engine to go with it.
I looked into the UN1 transaxle and decided that an audi unit from a 1.8t may be a better choice these days? gearchange would be far smoother and shouldn't be expensive to replace if things go wrong either!
