Replacing Clio 172 Engine (Project )
After finishing my replica i felt that the only way to go was to fit the real thing, the 2.0ltr from a 172. This led me to purchasing this beauty:
Failed conversion with a Clio cup engine which has only covered 16k miles.
After looking at all the things i had to change i decided against the conversion and when this came up for sale:
Action plan:
engine parts
- Clean up Cup engine
- Refurb gearbox
- Refurb Alternator or purchase new
- Carbon Fibre Engine cover
- Polish inlet manifold, fuel rail and engine mount/cam cover
- ITG Panel filter
brakes and suspension
- Eibach Sportlines
- Brembo Max Discs
- Ferodo DS2500 Pads (front and rear)
- Black Diamond Rear Discs
body work
- Wash, Clay, Polish etc
- Get rid of shite lexus lights and replace with standard
- Trophy Anthracite Turinis (16")
- Cup Spoiler
- Carbon Fibre Splitter
interior
- Full carpet hover + wash
- Clean seats + Leather care products
- Alpine iDA-X001 Ipod Headunit
- Alpine Type-x Components
- Alpine Type-r Rear Speakers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Engine has covered 54k and the one that came with the gold car came from a 53 plate Cup with 16k miles on it. The cup engine was a little grubby so gave it a clean and painted it black.
