Theres plenty of projects on going on here mate.
Thats a fail right there :rasp: lol
The clio TT is legendary :approve: there are a few turbo'd clios on here.
It's not overly difficult or expensive really to turbo a corsa, most use the calibra turbo engine etc, so it's cheap (ish) to do. In essence those who had turbo'd novas have moved on to corsas.
Theres been many years of development with the Nova's and Corsa's plus they have a engine from the home stable that bolts straight in, Clio's dont, the nearest being the 20v Vag lump.
You have to remember that modding the Clio Sports is still relatively new! Oldest phase 1's are only what, 9 years old?

Whichever has fuel
Hi f**king 5!!!
Sick of the lot of them. ''Turinis/eibachs/splitter/silvervisions'' brigade.
There used to be some cracking mk1 clios on here, some really quick ones.
The 'nana & Matbrowns old red one, they really pushed things forwards imo
The Boosh!

Agreed.
At least when we did it we did it properly (we being mattblack/norm lol).
and yes corsas are s**t.
Thats because Vauxhall boys are proper bodgers and the vauxhall family enignes fit from anything into anything and most the clio owners i know refuse to get their hands dirty, Apart from jord and winston saying that wiggle has been forced into getting some graft done
I was thinking about putting an 20XE into a clio williams after the bottom end went... But the shafts, suspension setup etc would of been an absolut bollock to sort.
Its all about cost i would of thought, I used to be able to build 2.0l novas for less than £1500 with coilovers, cage etc. I gave up after finding a clio RS 172 Ph1 for 1k seems to be a bit pointless building something that wont really handle quite as well.

I think there are plenty on interesting projects in here tbh.
With corsa's there are a lot more engine options and the converisons are easier and cheaper to do.
Would hardly call the corsa redtop conversion exciting, i think even my nan has heard of a corsa with redtop conversion...

TBH if you want to do something like that then do it but the overall cost wouldn't benefit you, neither resale. Only thing would be experience and knowledge gained
182 Cup
That sounds like a project that would be worth it's weight in gold if it could be made to fit.
Knowsit. A relatively cheap 260bhp Clio conversion. IIRC there some quite serious problems though, and the 182 5-speed gearbox doesn't fit the engine either (again, IIRC)
Black Gold Trophy
You'll find that parts swap over from car to car much easier on vauxhalls, that's one of the reasons I love them. I had a corsa before my 182 and instead of forking out loads for a big brake conversion I simply bought some second hand cavalier gsi callipers for £20 and some discs and pads for £50 all in from vauxhall and just bolted them on. No brackets or anything, they bolt straight on!
People have been doing engine swaps on novas/corsas (the engine bays are basically the same) for well over 10 years now!
I don't understand how people can say corsas are s**t when they all own clios! It's a 3 door hatchback? How are they that different?
I was going to do the 2.0 turbo conversion on my corsa but I decided to buy the 182 as I fancied something newer that was already done!
The reason why most people dont have engine conversions etc on here is because the 182/172 is a pretty quick car as it is, and what it lacks in acceleration/speed it makes up for with its handling.
