wont be insuring until im 18 with 1 NCB, then it will be around 2k-2.5k :( expensive but you only live once ey ;)
converting seemed like the good idea but financially the way im doing it will be much better than converting my blue one. The money i will make from selling my blue one will pay for...
Na will just transfer all the stuff over from the FF engine, cam belt snapped on the FF engine and dropped a valve and hit a piston as in picture...
got all the bits from the engine including inlet manifold etc and pumps.
After buying an engine which has been sat around for a long time im going to do a full service of it and the 172. What would you recommend chaning....?
- Cam Belt
- Alternator Belt
- Filters
- Plugs

probably keep the 172 and sell the replica, not sure yet though as im going to uni next year (Northumbria Uni) so i will probably leave it at home and drive it on weekends etc.

Snapped the end of a sensor when trying to remove it from a inlet manifold, could someone check me a price on this part number?

thanks

yeah insurance put me off and the fact i dont think it would be sensible running a 2.0ltr in my first year of driving. Looking back on it i wasnt really safe in my first few months in a 1.2 never mind a 2.0ltr :P
Another reason is im always up for learning new things so this project will help...
Initial plan was to buy an engine (2.0ltr) to fit to my 1.2 replica so i bought this for £550. The engine had only covered 16k miles so is in very nice condition.
Sold the 172 interior+wheel+door sills for £350 and still got the rolling shell including lots of other stuff for sale (Pm if...
for me......
Complete my engine conversion including changing front and back axle :cool:
FK Coilovers
Remap
ITG Maxogen
and ofcourse washing it lol
looks like its going to be an expensive year lol
Im looking at sorting out the ABS with my conversion would this work?
172 FF ECU
172 FF front hubs etc
172 FF rear axle
is that all i need for the ABS to work or is there anything else required
thanks

Im looking at insuring my 1.2-2.0ltr conversion next year when im 18. I dont see the problem to be honest as if my parents didnt think i was sensible enough i know for a fact my dad wouldnt be helping getting this engine running like he is.
I know some people that i would'nt like to see driving...
The story so far....
1.2 to 2.0 ltr conversion - Compression test passed although did burn the starter motor out in the process :(
Current problem is the ECU/wiring - The engine (Clio 172 Cup) i have got came with all the wiring all ready attached etc including the ECU,uch,decoder ring and so...
Just put some stuff on ebay :)
