    opinions on this? (photoshopped non sport)

    what do you think? not sure what this drop would be, guessing around 70mm, colour coded handles and bullet (not sure i like this) and some klutch sl1's (sorry for the poor ps effort, took 10 minutes haha)

    next time you can always double check with paint code on the drivers side inside sill?

    Critisise my photos please!

    no thats helpful mate! i thought the same about the autumn one, but didn't wanna overexpose the whites in the back, same as the sunrise one, need a gradient filter really:(

    1.2 8 valve engine in a 1.2 16 valve clio

    you seem to have already made your mind up, i'm not sure why you're still asking if you just disregard everyones opinions.. thats not me being rude, but seriosuly if you want to do it so badly, no one will stop you, just don't get stuck fitting it or you'll be proper stuck! hopefully it's taught...

    1.2 8 valve engine in a 1.2 16 valve clio

    if it was me though, i'd salvage as much as i could, sell it on here? and with that money plus a bit more buy a new one!

    you're looking in the wrong places then! seriously you can get a half decent car for under £500 just don't expect any where new near condition! it's a hundred times better than one that's been in a ditch tho

    if you're stuck for cash get an older one with a fair few miles til you can save and get something faster if you wanted?

    1.2 8 valve engine in a 1.2 16 valve clio

    so to answer your question, yes its possible

    1.2 8 valve engine in a 1.2 16 valve clio

    they may be less powerful, but its still an engine swap, my honest opinion is it's not worth the hassle to save you what? £200 at most? but again its totally up to you mate!

    1.2 8 valve engine in a 1.2 16 valve clio

    also looking at the cars where the engines have gone, you've got no way of knowing why? could be more damage on the car which is going to cost you long term, probably also be a high mileage car? just get a new one mate, its not worth it

    1.2 8 valve engine in a 1.2 16 valve clio

    possible yes, worth it? still not really.. you'd most likely need to change the ecu aswell, and your gear ratios would be slightly out surely? once you've informed the dvla and insurance company you've made an engine swap thats different from the original, you're still likely to be worse off!

    1.2 8 valve engine in a 1.2 16 valve clio

    Agree with everyone here, unless it's got an insanely low number of miles on it, get a new one mate, not worth it

    1.2 8 valve engine in a 1.2 16 valve clio

    Oh right sorry my mistake!:) if you're not doing the work yourself, then it probably won't be much if any cheaper to get the engines swapped over? What mileage has the engine done? You can pick up a 1.2 2003/2004 16v for roughly £500 I think?

    You took a clio off roading? Brave man;) looks like the coil pack light? Not 100% though! Did the exact same thing on a works van I was driving

    1.2 8 valve engine in a 1.2 16 valve clio

    Guessing you mean put the 16v engine into your 8v clio? Should be a straight swap, without much if any modifications, I'd ring around a few garages by you, not sure if you've got one in mind and they'll be able to tell you!

    Clio number 10 I think?

    Misfires like pistorius

    £415 for a replacement clutch?

    £415 for a replacement clutch?

    Dont really have time to order the parts and find someone to fit them etc.. It's booked in on Monday for around £415 :( needs to be done though I guess :/
  24. sprentice

    £415 for a replacement clutch?

    Okay! Well I'll ring up and ask what the price will be with that fitted! Are they likely to do it with me supplying the clutch? Or will they order from there anyways?
