Drop a R5 turbo engine in there.
£1k for fitting and you supply the engine.
There are a few companies which do the engine tranplant I belive.
Modding the 1.4 isnt cost effective when a 1.4 turbo can be dropped into the car for about £2k which has more power stock and can easily run 200hp with soem mods.

Next Year I plan on getting The Stage 1 Kit which is 325.50, without the ClioSport discount..
"Bypass pipe, induction kit, modified chip. The combination of parts in this kit free up engine response, giving gains in both power and torque (power increase of approx 12-15 bhp) through the rev range making the engine smother and more flexible."
Not goin to go mental on the engine otherwuse might as well get a transplant, would be cheaper! Then ontop of that add a back box, Also want to keep insurance down...
Hell I might look at the
Stage 2 Kit.
S214CL
This kit contains all of the parts necessary for an engine to produce approx 92-97 bhp giving better acceleration due to the gains in mid range torque.
Tempting! dunno what it consist of or prices etc mind..!

would not go futher than filter, exhaust and chip. hill power are probably the best for these. After that eiather save your money and buy a valver or if you cant afford the insurance or maybe you just dont want one then spend it it making the car look better. Thats what i did on my rt but its up to you.
simple.........Hill Power
all the other stuff is a waste of money as you will more than likely lose power with other makes of induction kit, well, you WILL..............Nicks chip at £150 is a bargain aswell, ive got a full stage 1 and mine was runnin 74bhp AT THE WHEELS.........so i gained whatever transmission loss is, about 20%+
Did you declare it all? Basically how do I tell the insurance company Im getting a De-cat, which could invalidate my insurance?
