Taking my 172 north to clioturbo, gonna try there £5k conversion
BG Clio 182
all fine until you need to do the timing chain (probably needing it done already) at a cost of about £3000 or more.
RX7? great car WHEN IT RUNS (I have owned 2, the '85 I owned blew its apex seals on me on a road trip and I also had to put new engine in my Turbo II)
A boosted Clio would be a blast (and probably still more reliable than the other suggestions on here)
Sadly, they don't have a good track record on here!

I don't know much about the running costs but he's right about the timing chain, most of the price would be labour as it's an engine out jobby.

To correct my statement, It is the B6 S4 with the timing change issues, the B5 has the 4 year/40k interval on the belt (and overheating turbo's)
Where did you find that?

It turns out he was mixed up between the v8 and the v6, the v6 is belt driven isn't it?
On his Facebook, it was also posted in your now deleted thread in his forum

Been off line since initial post, read the first 10 or so posts and am very encouraged, all hit the nail on the head, labour of love, not gonna sell it, if you can do it; do it etc etc. It's going in next week, have to let them know if I want 240 stage one or up to 300plus stage 3
Read the first 2 pages now and I have to say the quality of response is pretty high and on the mark eg, since I first posted I've bought a noggy blue 2000 s4 avant for fun day to day (absolutely love it) I've already got 2 s**t cars for boring day to day. I am in a strange place of having small amounts of grands to fritter rather than having heaps of cash to buy the fancy newer cars
I used to own a B5 S4 it was a car I wanted for ages. Unfortunately the ownership experience changed that! Don't get me wrong it went like stink, she was barely modified just an exhaust and a Revo map. In a straight line not many could touch it! However show it a corner and it was boring as hell. Anyone can go fast in a straight line, but the twisty's is where the fun is! After about 6 month's I sold it on and bought my 3rd Clio. The Trophy and I couldn't be happier! I'm also toying with the idea of possible forced induction. I'm yet to see a really quick Clio in the flesh!
