£7000 engine build on Clio

[Mike Wright]

I was browsing through an old MAX Power magazine at the garage today and saw a Clio with £11000 worth of ICE and £7000 Hill Power Mods etc.

Is this anyones car here? If so can you lend me a tenner please?

Yeah i remember reading that, was he like 20 or something and owned a Lexus before the clio? I think he also said its up for sale.

The bloke must be minted

 

[Mike Wright]

Yeah thats the guy! Sounded a right ***** but the car sounded great!

I think it was a case of stamping his feet infront of mummy and daddy for the cash by the sounds of things!


Was a nice conversion though and I would love that engine in mine

Exactly mate, all i can think of is, if i had 11K to spend on my car, a good 10 of that would be on engine work.....ahh i can just imaging it now....

ooops i just drooled on my keyboard.

For 7k you could get the BB lower pressure turbo convertion for that...

 

[RobFenn]
