Okay heres what i have been thinking, i currently have a mk2 ph1 clio. My mate has a mk1 clio up the road but needs alot of work for £50. So should i sell mine and get the mk1 and do it up or save up and do some more work to my car?? any suggestions.

Rang up a scrappy saw an engine on ebay and it had no gearbox no loom nothing just the engine and that was £299 including delievery which i thought was a bit steep.

Haha very funny, thinking im going to start stripping the car today then work out some prices and find some parts. Im looking forward to this lol.

Hmm well i can do most of the work myself as im a mechanic and that will keep costs down, this could be a project for college lol. Anyways i dont think i would turbo it straight away think ill still to N/A and spend maybe 1k-1500?

Re: 1*2 Turbo?? Hmm well if it fits then maybe this could be the route i go down i rekon about 1k?? About the gearbox would you recomend uprating it and to what?

Re: 1*2 Turbo?? Hmm maybe a transplant would be the best option then i always wanted a turbo haha, what about turbo'in a valver?? and would it fit in a mk 2 ph1?

Re: 1*2 Turbo?? This is true but hey i want to be different and some times its not about saving money. Would love to have a 1.2 turbo. Im hoping for around 150bhp if i decide to do this.

Ah sorry i was looking at the non rs ones.

Re: 1*2 Turbo?? Okay well i know the car is quite heavy but i would be making it into a road rocket, would be stripping it completly so 120bhp would be quite nice, but i rekon with a few more upgrades to it i could see more out of it then 120bhp, was thinking of upping the boost pressure?? or...

Re: 1*2 Turbo?? Well what kind of BHP do you think would be achieved and anybody know what the boost pressure is on the mk 3 turbo?

Did you go for the supersport one of the sport one mate?

Re: 1*2 Turbo?? Yer i understand it would be expensive, hoping to find maybe a write off somewhere etc, but would the engine be able to take all of this im not scared of the hardwork just want to know if it would be possible.

Re: 1*2 Turbo?? Yes it does have a plastic manifold, but i would be changing it for obvious reasons.

Re: 1*2 Turbo?? Okay so would you be able to use the manifold and turbo of that?

My friend has done the opposite to what you have done but on his polo and looks terrible. I prefer your car how it was mate.

Re: 1*2 Turbo?? Oh sorry about the title haha my mistake.

Okay i know im probably going to get alot of people asking why and save for a 172 etc, but i want to know if it would be possible to turbo the 1.2 8v/16/ engine by using the turbo and manifold of a 15.dci for example?

The only problem i had with my xbox is when i plug it into the Bravia using the component it didnt fit the screen correct and i couldnt change it in the settings weird? but i think i had to adjust the tv settings. If i used a HDMi cable it fitted perfectly but then i couldnt connect to surround...

Nice sound on the subaru if i say so myself. The girls remind me of need for speed carbon cause they used real actors, maybe dirt 2 has aswel.

Well i got 110mph out of my 1.2 just plug into a diagnositcs and find out if there is anything on there.

Omdz i feel so hard done by now, i want to move out of this sh*t hole and somewhere posh im going to put my post code in St.Albans haha.

The grooves wil be the same whatever set you go for and the spirals should be going anti-clockwise IIRC

Would like 16s tbh lol i dont mind a refurb job if the price is right i like the little reno diamond in the middle.

Lol no im not 12 im 17 but i live in a bad area i believe so insurance is high.

Im paying 2k for a 1.2 :(

The dealer i bet that would cost a small fortune?

I rekon at a garage your looking at around £80ish but if i did them it would be half that haha.

I would like to know where to get the Renault ones personally.

Well as you can see from the pics the bonnet is a diff colour :S but i tried it myself and didnt go well so took the bumpers off and all the bits i want done, then took it to my bodyshop, the sidestrips look better in real life. Also it would of been better if he didnt spray over the 1.2 and RN...

All you have to do if you get pulled is say to them look i had it at a garage getting some work done and i have just picked it up and im going to get the tax now i couldnt get it before because it was at the garage so long as your going to get the tax you will be fine.
