Clio 16v
Hi guys, basicaly i cant find a good enough clio/19 shell for a transplant. In fairness i pretty much despise the mk2 shape, however for the sake of having a clean/rust free shell for a project i am pretty much forced into it. Clean shells can be had for £250-£500. Unless someone on here has a mk1 phase 1 19/clio (would take the phase 2 clio at a push) but wouldn't touch the 19 phase 2.
Anyways, i want to use the volvo/renault engine (b18ft from the 440/480 turbo), reason being i want forced induction and reliability. The option of the f4r is there however, its not my cup of tea and in the greatest respect, the engine has very little in the way of tuning and usualy doesn't make standard power.
Anyone have any info on conversions done similar to above, or am i better holding off to find a clean 19/clio shell for the conversion
Big thanks in advance
