Hello!
Let's get straight too it, I need your help. I own a 1.2 Clio Mk.3 2012 (facelift). It comes with all the fancy leather interior, glossy dashboard and tom-tom. It's a fancy piece of kit for what it is and it looks quite nice in my opinion.. But it's painfully underpowered at a measly 75bhp and a 0-60 time in near enough 13 seconds. Right now, financially I can afford the Clio RS200 Cup.. Which up until very recently I was going to buy. But then I got thinking. I saw a Clio RS200, same year as mine but breaking, for sale for around 3k. Now understand my mechanical knowledge doesn't stem as much as a lot of you so here's where I need your help. If I bought this 'spares and repairs' Clio RS, could I potentially use it as a doner car to my current 1.2?
Such as the turbo, which would then lead to other things like gearbox/clutch etc and mine is currently only 5spd. Then swap out the brakes, suspension, wheels(maybe), bucket seat(s) etc etc. Could the car handle it? I've got a feeling it would put too much strain on a lot of components I don't even know about. If all else fails, I might pick one up cheap and swap some minor parts minus the turbo.
Alright guys that's it what do you think?? I appreciate any feedback and if I'm being an absolute idiot feel free to tell me so!
