    1.5 dci

    Dead easy compaired to a 1.2/1.41.6 or 2.0 petrol as its got a turbo and its diesel. £600 on a 65hp model would get you about 110hp. You'd end up having to detune the torque as the clutch coundn't take the torque at the low end. Tunning the petrol and disels isn't value for money though...

    Clio RSI value?

    I've seen valvers for £500 and less in the past with 100k on them and Williams for £1.5k so £500 doens';t sound to bad (Howev thats what i'm saying you'd probably end up selling for put it up for more say £650.) You never people might bight your hand off if thats what there looking for.

    Best HT leads for cup!

    Stock are fine unless they break. If you want more power the intake manifold work for £160 is much better than any other mods I can think of (depends on the car though).

    Help and Advice Needed - Car buying

    Only £1k more than the one I posted. For £1k you could get a second hand engine and gearbox fitted.. Don't forget it might have low miles but its 6 years old so probably only done short drive which isn't good for an engine particulaly a petrol. Look out your window see if I'm taking the piss .
