Been ragged like a carrot by some muppet that used to come on here.

You can tell from the "eats MR2s and Evos" what kind of life its had. Thats where I stopped reading...

Probably "cheep insurantz innit cus down as 1.2 on logbook"

If it were a sleeper I'd get it, but it's not.

Yeah that always grinds my gears too.

Makes me want to go look at it purely to then leave saying it's not for me.

im not interested in it, im just collecting peoples oppinions, just looks dodgy. nice car though.

I thinks its the cheapest white 'sport' ive seen for sale, makes good power! ive also seen it go and its very quick to! lovley car tbh. (needs to lose them stickers though)

i agree and what looks like a lovely car, not many white sports around, but 4500?? you could get a trophy for that money these days. I do see the point in doing it if you own a 1.2 and fit a 2l in because im planning on doing it with mine soonish but when selling it you have to price is competitively against other sports

im thinking of doing the same to my replica. i would rather have it built not bought, makes it more special in my eyes. Who are you going to get to do the conversion or are you doing it yourself?

Fcuk me, where do I start....

Built not bought, then you're going to pay someone to fit a 2.0 engine into a clio that was already built with a 2.0 in it?????

The concept, you don't grasp it.

13.9 1/4 mile? really!

Personally I like throwing money at people and then telling them what to do. Why damage my soft hands

Spoiler

shame i dont have that money and end up getting the spanners out

IIRC owner was/is a complete bellend. As for the car why buy a bodged together wannabe when you can get the real thing for the same price? You'd be an idiot to spend the same on a converted car as it'll be worth less come the time you come to shift it on. In short avoid.

If your a boy racer, tyre kicker or complete idiot im not intrested

It would be cheaper to buy a 172 and fit 1.2 bodywork and wheels. Then the other underpinnings are at least sorted as well.
