Mk1 Clio 1.4L RT
Hey guys just a few questions for you all. I own a Mk1 RT and am in the process of 'cleaning up' the old girl, shes starting to get rust spots and what not so thought instead of leaving it to rust ill put some money into doing it properly and will keep the car long term instead of getting another in a couple of years. Anyway the plan in a couple or so years (insurance allowing) was to get a Mk1 valver or williams, because when I first saw one it was love at first sight. But my idea now that im 'investing' in the RT is to do an engine swap as time goes on, kit out the RT and maybe make a 'street sleeper' style car nothing over the top just nice and simple with power, now heres my questions:
1. Is it difficult to swap a valver engine into a RT?
2. What upgrades would I need to do to the car? (brakes is the obvious one)
3. How much do the engines sell for?
4. Is there anything special I would have to do to the RT to accomodate the Valver engine? (any sort of new dials, ECU or anything else like that?)
As I said this is a long term plan and wont come into effect for a while but wanted to ask some questions now before I go to far into putting money in the RT to find I cant do what I want.
Cheers all
