Get a 1.4 rt - stick a 5gtt engine, brakes etc in it. Then you got the best of both worlds for not alot of money.

Theres also the money laundering side of things to consider. If you get caught up in that your screwed for 14 years!

Where you from dude?

Im gonna have to do this until my policy runs out in August - Ill let you know what happens when I ring up the AA.

Also confirm they are legal - the plod are getting tighter on them now!

10 years and petrol could be practically obsolete. Diesels are becoming far too efficient for petrol to keep up.

Craig - did you end up doing the conversion yourself then? Didnt realise it was dun and running - quick work!!

Whats gonne be 300bhp is that a T5? Heard theyre hard to tune.

Could a mod move this to discussion as may get some people want to reply there!!

On the back of a D&G recovery truck! Was out on Saturday night when the nagative terminal decided it didnt want to make a connection any more and the battery died. Had them out 3 times while every one else was racing about etc etc. Finally they just towed me home. There was a lad there...

Sounds like a power surge or something? If the engines on then it will prob produce slightly more power and possibly too much blowing the fuses. Your not alone mate - Renault electrics are shocking and at least you can drive it still! Not like mine - grounded cause of a damn terminal!!

Im getting a Cossie more than likely but if that fails Ill be looking in to the 20vt - was suprised at the price you can get them for. Can you send me some pics Ben? Inside and out etc, my email address is in my profile!

I wouldnt buy another Clio now, had a 1.4rt and now got a 1.8 16v and just dont think one could keep me happy now. Def getting big turbo power next!!

Would be bad if they take em out. Apparently you should never take an Escort Cosworth to Fords for a service. Ive heard so many stories about them coming back with an extra 10 - 20 miles on the clock meaning some 17 year old YTS grease monkeys probably been pounding your pride and joy!!

Actually just looking at the Fiat 20v turbo on autotrader - theyre well well cheap!! Whats the performance, spec and other issues like on these?

Thats a class quote - whered you get that from? Cheapest quote I got for the impending Cossie was aprox £1,500 tpft and Im 23 with 2yncb?

Get something that can be tuned easily when you get bored. You WILL get bored once your used to the power. I really think you should be looking at something with a turbo as the tunability is endless. With your age and NCB a group 20 car such as a Sierra Sapphire Cosworth would be less than...

I have them, no one touch windows, and a tilt only sunroof. I though the lecky sunroof was on ph2 onwayds? The seats did match the badge buit they looked awful and were in a mess so I replaced them with later phase one seats.

What was the difference there Daz? I know there were different seats on phase ones - I took the hideous blue and yellow ones out and put the plain blue flecked ones in! Other than that didnt know anything was different?

Just look at the log book and see when it was first registered, will tell you alot more than the stick on bits that are on it!!

Chadwell St Mary - Essex, which is near Grays, Tilbury (yucky place) and Thurrock. NOT CHADWELL HEATH!! Essix foreva init!!

Ive had 2 Clios and the batteries last as long as Darren Andertons average season!

Can tell by seats, bump strips, front grille, instruments, wing mirrors, wheels and other things that I cant remember off hand! Unless you got a phase 1 like mine that has bits of both on it!!

Also my other pal has a 1992 K reg Escort Cossie bought before Xmas with 30k Not always a good thing as since he bought it its all gone pair shaped with oil leaks.

Until last night I was buying a 1990 G plate Cossie with 70k miles. 5k a year average over 14 years is wicked. I have to talk him in to selling it to me again!!

I usually use 1 bucket of soapy water, 1 sponge, 1 hose pipe, 1 leather shammy. Then if its nice out and Im not bored I will use some of 1 bottle of turtle wax polish. Only joking fella, Ive used all sorts of different things to clean and polish mine with and never noticed a difference...

Buy mine it already looks good. Do a search under my name in cars for sale.

You can get an uprated dog bone mount to reduce greatly the amount of movement. Or so Im told. But yeah its common not to worry really. I got a valver for sale, little bit more than you suggested but youll save yourself in the long run!!

My dad swears he saw an estate as well but knowing him it could have been anything.

Any one ever seen one of these? I saw one in Kos last year and one in London a few weeks back. Funny looking things!! Assuming theyre only for the foreign market as the one on London was a left hooker woth foreign plates?
