Fair enough just wundering if it was even worth it cause if it was just a drop in job then i would probably just do it for a projectWhat Matt said.
I'm guessing you've recently passed and bored of the power? Save the money for a 182 and when insurance lets you pal. Boring old man answer i know, but we've all been there

If i could find one close by at the right price i would. Had the same plan with a mx5 last year but never found the right oneIf its a project your after, why not look for a 172/182 that needs a bit of work doing? spend the next year or two tarting it up ready.
Well if i find an engine at the right price i might just give it a tryEasy swap, good option these days as your 1.2 probably isn't rusty like the RS all seem to be.
Swap engine, box, engine wiring loom, ECU, uch, key
Tbh it would never be a proformace car for me only a car to put a smile on my faceand suspension, brakes, wheels and tyres.
Unless you particularly want all the fun of 1.2 handling with 182 levels of power.
Definitely the better option.If its a project your after, why not look for a 172/182 that needs a bit of work doing? spend the next year or two tarting it up ready.
I reckon if i was to do it i would just keep it quite and see when the insurance needs to renew how much it would beSome younger people have said modified insurance for them wasn't too bad, it's at least worth looking at a quote.
I guess people just don't do that much to their cars anymore, or they do something like a remap, but keep quiet about it so the insurance companies never know.
Your in the s**t if you dont declare it, if you have an accident.
Thats a class idea just turn the 1.2 into a 182You don't need someone else telling you the same stuff again, BUT how about buying a not-perfect 182 and reshelling it with your 1.2...
Similar idea but then you're still keeping your car, but you've got all the bits to swap across, such as suspension, wider wings, gearbox, rear beam with discs etc etc
A 5-door 182? We need to see pics! I actually wished Renault also offered it as a 5-door, so much so that I already edited a 172 Ph1 picture into a 5-door:I've personally carried out the swap, I have a F4R in my 1.2 5 door, I can say its a pain in the ass, But i managed to score a crashed 182 for only £1000 so it was worth it for me
