i want throttle bodies or turbo, unsure on which yet,

i quite often get bored of the clio, espcially wen it looks abit ropey but wen its all clean and running well i love it and wouldnt swap it for anything

seen a mini in a magazine from 2003 tother day runnin a cav gsi 2000 engine, throttle bodies, custom inlet plenum and turbo!! in a mini!!

what i wanna know tho is if u fit bodies and a turbo is it worth it? not in terms of money but power hike?!

this engine went from 150 standard to 240+

really cant be arsed with mine, hate Williams Clio's and anything French... fortunately it should be easy to part with it as I got to see what a proper car goes like at the weekend... Mehdi and Ray have E30 and E36 M3's and the E30 is very very quick, but the E36 is in a different league, couldn't believe how quick these are especially on the motorway, but even at low speeds it was handing us our arses... :shock:

Not at all bored of the Williams yet, but I've always got a hankering for something different. It's just how long I can hold off the urges for....

Mines off the road too till cam belt is done, driving a megane auto in the week and it's sooo nice to drive, not constantly having to avoid grids and warm her up in the mornings and battle with tramlining...lol, do miss the power and handling tho!
