Non sport sleeper 2.0

[Tomas]

I remember seeing on PH few weeks ago, someone selling a non sport with a 2.0 engine conversion, while still keeping the non sport look.

There's probably threads like this already, but just wanna know if anyone on here has done the same?

 

[Knuckles]

Rob did one

vickyx has one with nitrous

fred made the dynacup

and I'm sure there's a lad on here with a black f4r'd dynamique

 

[Mark-387]

I done one 1.2 dynamic shell 172 cup engine awesome little car. People use to be so shocked to see me keep up with them lol

 

[Knuckles]

Someone recently put a 172 cup engine and wide track etc into a kangoo van

 

[Joe#]

Vicky's is also ITB'd and forged lol

 

[Knuckles]

I forgot about that lol. Omg.

 

[Tomas]

What places can do these conversions? I'd love to do it with mine it'll probably never happen though..

 

[Tomas]

Is there any good threads showing the conversion?

 

[Knuckles]

ktec racing, but thats daahn sarf

rstuning in leeds would be able to do it.

ive never come across a how to guide sorry

 

[Tomas]

Aye, as well at that its £3000!

 

[Rob]

Buy a donor car and do it yourself, it's pretty much plug and play then.

There's a guide for removal, which would basically be done in reverse to fit one.

 

[Knuckles]

just remembered AndyRG is based in seaham along with owen:s, those to throw engines in and out of cars for fun. you should get in touch with one of them

 

[Tomas]

I might do sooner to the time, If I go ahead with it. I'm thinking about keeping the Clio as a project, once I get my new car so an engine conversion could be on the cards for the future. Doubt it'll ever happen though.

Vickys is by far my favourite non sport (would you still class it as a non sport?) on the forum

 

[Tomas]

So how much bhp has vickys got?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Just buy a 172 lol. I see absolutely no point in fitting the 2.0 to the 1.2, unless you're not going to declare it of course.

 

[Knuckles]

So how much bhp has vickys got?

260 iirc

daves point is valid actually. It may be easier/cheaper to buy a sub £1500 172 and fit dynamique bumpers to it if you want a sleeper

 

[Tomas]

Aye I'm just gonna buy a 172 lol when I can afford to insure one

 

[Knuckles]

Have you got quotes of engine swaps vs a 'real' 172?

 

[Tomas]

No, just been doing quotes on 'real 172s'

 

[Brett]

1*2's are so cheap now there is literally no point in doing a conversion. Unless your not going to declare it as Dave says.

 

[decco]

Aye I'm just gonna buy a 172 lol when I can afford to insure one

my moneys on not declaring it

 

[welshname]

Yeah, unless you aren't declaring it then it's pointless in not just buying a 172.

That said Rob's looked awesome.

 

[Brett]

It did, doesn't mean it wasn't pointless. Get a 172 and stick non-sport bumpers on it. Much cheaper than doing it the other way around.

If you just ran a ph1/ph1 silver 172 on some steel wheels and removed all the badges you could get away with the sleeper look I reckon

Old shitty clio look ftw?

This basically.

If you want a 2.0 sleeper it would be easier to fit 1.2 panels and bumpers to a 172 and then you've got the engine, drivetrain and chassis but with the (even bigger) pauper look. Be a lot easier and you would make a bit of money back selling the Renaultsport body kit.

Agreed - Utterly pointless.

Will be more to insure than a 1*2 too, because modified.
