Have a look at this guys

Apparently it's the only Clio in the world with a r5 turbo engine in haha
The blue piping in the engine is around £700.
God help him

In a Jeremy clarkson voice "only Clio with a C1J, in the WORLD"
Think Markey B off here built the car remember something about a pink block. but I guess it's not him selling it.

was just going to post this up - 'only 1 in the world' :laugh:
car doesnt look to bad though, as long as its been built well could be a decent car.
Atleast he's not claiming 200bhp off a t2 though

The lighter engine really pi55es on what is a good handling car.. I slapped one together and it felt like a mistake and would be a constant quest to try get it right...

does the clio/c1j not work well? I had a 1.4rt clio for my 1st car and loved it, thought it handled well for what it was, was allways tempted to put a c1j in it

It's was a 1.8 16v and was a failboat with the c1j... I wanted to love it but it was undoing what was a good car and totally ruining it..
It lacked the gt turbo feeling and the original feel was lost.... It became a turd..
The engine bay looks well tbf

I also have one of these 'one offs' :laugh:
Yeah, it does look like quite a well done conversion. Shame these Mk1 face-lifts are so bug-ugly. :cartman:

I know this is a 1.4 but taking a 1.8 16v lump out and swapping for a 1.4 8v pushrod lump is just stupid slapping a turbo on the valver lump is the only way.

is the number plate genuine?
You want a C1J in a Chamade 19 16V running 180bhp. Now thats a 1 off :)
I built a clio with c1j conversion years ago, was dog****. I expect this one to be the same. The actuator is plumbed in wrong too lol.
