Why would you bother? If you want a bigger engine you can fit the 1.7 Volvo engine out of the 440 turbo straight in. Or a clio 16valve engine and turbo that.

I had every faith in the old bean can! Bit of white smoke now and again nothing to worry about! I could probably rebuild it myself anyway
Shame track was too greasy to run it, love to know what it can do

Did you meet up in Colchester with us all?

Thanks
I'm not sure of the offset (will find out) as bought it with them on, only problem was the rears, yes the arches were cut, tyre rubbed on the bolt fixing the suspension in (Clio 16v struts) ground a bit off so they weren't as proud, not had the SuperT's back on to see if cured it (Koni ajustables on the front, with no problem)

I want one now. I did have this one I bought cheap as I always LOVED silver ones, and this one was given to me as a non-runner as a present from my ex-bird.



I sold it without ever getting it running for about £150
Wish Id kept it now, but I knew nothing about them and was building my XR2 Zetec Turbo at the time so ran out of time, space and money

Wasnt in bad nick apart from chavy dash
But genuine mileage



This MINT one came into work recently, he paid £4500.
