Doddle matey. Did this one back in 2002 - as Freddy said make sure you get ALL the wiring from the donor car and a complete ECU kit.
Its a pain forget it get a 172 much cheaper.
Its interesting and a challange but you need the tools and the space and the time to do it.
Just solder the wires up tough not a huge problem.

thats mint.... what was it originally?? how much did it cost in total?
1.2 16v Dynamique.
I would loved to have seen the faces of some people who laughed at you at the lights etc....before you blew them away! Class!
4 hours? Even I can do it in less
Theres a thread on Seat Cupra.net wheres someone was raced by him shocked how some old CLio kept with his 280hp or somehting car. That was before Matt realy tunned it and stuck the 1.8T in and tunned it to 425hp or so.
1.4 I think.it's a 1.2 sleeper
erm not gona bother bin to luck at a 172 today so i now have a engine surplus to requirments and i only have the engine bay wiring loom lol thats same colour as mine im a mechanic so crnt really pay another company to do it makes me look like a rite fool thanks for info tho
im a mechanic so crnt really pay another company to do it makes me look like a rite fool thanks for info tho^ the badge clearly says 1.2 edde, you need new glasses more than me
They can be removed.
I'm sure Matt said years agao it was a 1.4 shell (not that it matters there all the same)
Car was a crash repair so maybe doors had to be changed.
as per usual changed mind again i cud do with a wiring diagram on the conversion if anyone has any clues pm'd matt black mite as well do the conversion the car stands me to 1200quid all in n i payed 850 for wat was left of a 172 from simpson salvage just gota go back and get the rest of it next w/e it started to rain so dint bother removing a rite lot of the loom just the engine bay car has my name on it n do not touch hehehe
You need the dahboard as well easy way to remove the whole darn thing only a few bolts etc hold it on there there the connections for the doors there the one on the passenger side down by the bonnet release for the rear looms and one for the airbags from memory.
To get the dash out you'll need to remove the stearing column only 4 bolts hold it in hidden under the dash then pull it out (might need a hammer to release it from the stearing rack under the bonnet but with engine outs easier to get to.
Wiring diagram for the conversion depends what your doing what stearing or ABS your using etc.
Uch isn't needed in a phase 1 transplant though Fred.
Radiator is handly to have though.

If i wanted to put a cup engine intomy car what exactly will i need? Could i use a standard 172 engine and remove air con pumps to make it effetively a cup engine? sorry for the hijack

Cup engine is a normal engine but without air con plus tensioenrs plus the alternators different (more power) and is used to tension the belt instead of tensioner.s
Assuming your keeping the electric rack on your car you'd need to remove this on the doner car so the belt runs only the alternator and the pump as if you run the PAS pump withoutb it being plumbed in it start a fire in the engine bay.

Thanks Edde,
Just a quick question and sorry for it being off OP but I have a 1.2 1998 Clio Mk2 PH1 I believe it's the RN model, would the 172 PH2 full dash loom be able to be adapted to fit my clocks. Also can I use my original Ignition barrell/key decoder/plip/key with the PH2 172.
Thanks in advance.
Regards Dean.

no you cant - you could theoretically but it would mean buying a new blank UCH ( £250 + vat ) so you could synchronise the plip and ECU together. To be honest it would be cheaper buying a spare key on top of the kit i supply.
The loom can be adapted ( anything can ) but would take a lifetime. I will supply you a dash from a 172 with controls for an extra £100. My kits come with a 172 inst panel + plip key / ECU / UCH and decoder with the immobiliser codes and key codes from the donor vehicle. This makes it easier to order a new key or re-code your plip if it ever loses its code

Its possible dean - im sure it can be done, but im afraid i dont know anybody that has done it. It would be a case of finding which wires power which dial and then re-wiring them to suit your inst panel
Holy crap learn to write properly.

someones account password the other day was "SPACKA" obviously the guy who entered his password wanted to fufill the legacy.
