Ultra 197 ex 172 Cup
just sell your car and pick up a 172 for 4k
MOFO, can i refer you to in your thread in general chat that you started, about getting a second job because you were in massive debt + could lose your house etc You have a kid, sort your head out, do you start these posts just because you are bored? yesterday you were thinking of buying danlph motor or a good cond valver.
This also isnt a technical question.

Rb182cup+s2 rallye
imo id put the interior back in ya 1.2 and wait till you can afford a faster car. when i had my 1.2 i wanted to do loads to it but i knew it would of been a waste as i knew assoon as i could afford it id have a better car.
and if you are in debt ect id flog it and get a cheaper car and sort ya finaces before anything else.

engine conversions are only worth it if your doing every last bit of work yourself so you have no labour costs.
valver engine is a silly idea for a mk2 to be honest, why put a 10-15yr old engine in a car thats only a couple of years old? id go for a 1.6 16v clio engine or if you fancy being different a 1.8 16v/2.0 16v megane/laguna engine.
your going to pay k-tec £3,000 to put a 172 engine in your car, thats nuts. do it yourself for £1500 or buy a 172, thats the only 2 options id consider tbh

i never said i would loose my house fella, and i also said finances aretight but not so bad they were gonna have to live on the street or nowt, also said the reasin for the 2nd job was so we could do stuff on weekend ect and not have to go without stuff, and yes i was intrested in the 172 or valver but on closer inspection both are going very cheap for a readson,
Turbos.
I agree with Martin, conversions only make sense if you have the know how to do it yourself. Otherwise it is a case of more money than sense.
Can your finance company not arrange it to be transferred to another car?
If i remember rightly your bought your Clio fairly recently, so it's probably worth the same as an older 172 anyway.
TBH i totally agree with what GavFre is saying though! More to life than cars.

neather did i at one point, got some decent tools, asked plenty questions on here and to mates who are mechanics or mechanically minded and helped do a couple now which i know i could do myself!
valver, no questions asked!
Rather look slow & go fast, then look fast & go slow
Sadly I can't speak, as I drive a v6 lol (looks fast, goes slow)

Agree with GavFre, as I was going to say the same thing. You are working all of the hours god sends doing two jobs and getting little sleep because funds were meant to be so tight, and here you are on about putting a valver engine in to a 1.2 shell? It was a 205 gti engine in another thread I read earlier.
I think you need to get your priorities sorted! As working all of the hours under the sun seems pointless if you are just going to waste the money on an engine conversion like the above. I had sympathy for you when I thought it was cos you were in so much debt and you were just trying to provide for the mrs and the baby.

cock mobile.
Lets be honest here, your opinion doesn't count, I mean look at your choice of car.
Still hate you
thsat is why i work all the hours under the sun, we could live of just one income but we would be tight and not be able to do things ie go out or buy things, i want to clear some debts and be able to have nice things and not have to worry about this and that getting paid,
Amen.
