I would have thought you would have more torque from a 1.4 GTT lump?
Conversion has been done before, needed alot of custom bits and pieces to get it working properly though.
1.5k for the 172 lump and all bits and pieces sounds like a bargain to me though :D
Now that would be different, sadly not to my taste!!
Really split whether to add the third colour into the mix, only problem with black its that the colour on the outside is more of a grey (Some random Renault colour!) So black might actually out of place, hummmmmmmm!
The car isnt to everyones tastes, never has been, but I don't drive it everyday, just something to play around with really :)
Mirrors have actually been taken off it now, decided I didn't like them in the end!! They are actually motorbike mirrors!
Yeah its got a GTT lump, just need to get...
As many are aware my clio looks like this:
Just had a change of ideas and sold my buckets.
Current plan is to keep it all stripped out except the cage and have flat front door cards and basically any other gaps would have MDF bits cut to fill them and have them trimmed.
But I am...
Know its annoying, as you might need to resize, but handy feature on the forums that I spotted today was:

Get your pic hosted then right click to get the location, then use the around that instead :)
Through the different stages the car has been in, different colours, engines, wheels, interiors etc, reckon about 12k at a guess, but obviously money has come back from selling old interiors and wheels etc.
Still only done 50 miles in the last 2 1/2 years though :(
Depends what your after really, mine is completely ott, and I have spent a small fortune on it! But I like it and thats what counts.
Maxi or Dimma kit all in including fitting and respray will come to nearer 3k tbh, loads of work to get it spot on, will also need new wheels to fill the arches...
They haven't got a website, but here is an email address I found for them Nocturnal_developments@yahoo.co.uk just drop them an email with the sort of thing your after :D
Not sure of the 1.7 volvo lump going in one of those, I know nocturnal developments but an R5 GTT lump into the same shape clio as yours though, and the owner is very happy with it :D
Not a clue what mine is pushing, not been massively fettled with! And its only just been re-built, so not been setup properly yet :)
Just have a search for 1.7 turbo conversion mate, bound to bring some stuff up on here :)
Volvo 440 I think off the top of my head, looks a bit like a wedge of cheese lmao
Few people have done the conversion on here mate just have a search, I spotted a thread recently which looked like a very tidy conversion :)
I have a clio 16v shell with R5 GTT engine :)
Yeah R5 lump in mine, good because lots of goodies available like silicone hoses stuff like that, but the Volvo lump just seems to be a better base to start from :D
