I bet hes putting a willy lump in a valver and not telling the insurance! Good lad, like your thinking!

Ive always wanted turbo power, but I love clios! No way can I afford £7k + for a 16v turbo conversion so may think along the lines of a R5 GTT conversion. But as it stands Im skint so only dreaming, sure other people will be interested in this subject as well though.

Heard if its re-built and looked after that isnt an issue?

Of swapping a 16v unit for a GTT unit. Obiously its turbo so therefore tunable. What else has it got over the 16v, also though, what will it lose? Obviously top end power but anything else? Has any one done this - I know some have gone from 1.4 RTs etc but has anyone gone from 16v to GTT?

My filter makes no difference, if anything I may have lost some. With just a backbox and a piper-x filter Im making 136.5 bhp. That could be cause the engines done 104k or cause the filters lost some. Sounds fcuking superb though so Ill live without that 0.5 hp!!

Yeah the outside ones, I got some coloured ones to put on. Just cant be arsed to rip all the door skins off then hope the clips dont all break in the process! If the sun stays out till the weekend I might attempt it.

You can get pro stuff that can only be used through a garage. Heard thats better!

Is that from inside I take it, IE door skin off. Is the new one fiddly to fit - is it difficult to re-connect to the bar? Cheers!

He says there was only one "built" as if its an official thing. What would be the point in a 1.4 Williams if the valver would be faster?

Hows yours now Brun, must be run in now, you said just after the conversion you were only running 7psi?

I wanna know more about this "1.4 Williams" Never heard of it myself. U sure some tight wad didnt blow a williams and replace the engine with a 1.4rt lump?

Yeah - Clio 16vs suprise many a new car!

I reckon a mildly tuned williams would give them bigger problems as well - IE it wont be a push over by a long shot.

I think the myth that 172s and 182s would thrash 16vs is based purely on power, if you think power to weight then it makes it alot more even than first thought. Not that I would pass up the opportunity to own either a 172 or a 182. But I dont feel terribly inferior in my car either! So...

There is something you can buy to repel cats but it smells so horrible that Id prefer to have the cat minging around.

How do you change the door handles on a mk one clio Cheers, Matt.

Check out "Car" magazine - they feauture the 180, 182, Cooper-S and Seat Leon Cupra. The 182 was miles ahead of the competition for everything, power, drivability etc etc.

When Im in my more senior years (if I get there of course) I hope to own a mint Escort Cossie or a mint Lotus Carlton. Or possibly a Clio V6

7,200 rpm.

Damn I need to make some more money.
