[jonesyx]

brakes unless your suicidal

 

[barley182]

depends on wot year u have? if its a newish one the brakes shld be good neway..

 

[patty]

suspension - 1.2 suspension won't be able to hold the weight of the 2l engine

 

[patty]

brakes unless your suicidal

agreed.. especially if your modding the engine

 

[patty]

dials..

 

[Laura]

ive got a 02 plate with uprated apex shocks and springs all round,

 

[Englebert]

They aren't matched to the weight of the car though. Or won't be i should say!

 

[Laura]

how about H+R coilovers?

 

[Englebert]

They will still be made for the 1.2 though...

You want to ask someone like Matt Black who has a 1.2 with various 172/182 bits.

I know you probably don't want to hear it but you could always buy a 172........

 

[MATT BLACK]

Done the conversion many times - ignore these boring f*****s

Your gonna need the engine / ECU / loom / plip key / UCH control unit / driveshafts / gearbox / brakes / calipers / shockers and springs / hubs and discs. Make sure the parts you obtain from the donor car comes with a chassis number for when you go turn key and need to program and recode the immobiliser / ECU. Takes about 10 hrs to do the job from start to finish

 

[MATT BLACK]

If you see it about be careful - its had work done and its running 194hp
