Exhaust, mechanical (B23E) / MSD ignition, diff swap.....should give a nice boost.

Lol, I'll join the group very soon I think! My engine is almost like this at the moment:
(not that nice and shiny by the way...I'll make it fit first, and then i'll probably refurbish the hole car...)
I might have some questions during the time...Mind answering?:P
You got the 1.7 radiater isn't it? Did you use the original fueltank, or used something like benneth did?

The insurance on my car is the same now with two years no claims as it was when i learnt to drive in it as a 1400 at 17 so all in all its not too bad.
Plus it would cost me more to insure the clio as a standard car compared to mine totally declared with brakes suspension etc.

Yep running standard prop and it gets abused, i think the biggest problem is people who cant fit them properly!!
Estimate is around the 150BHP mark but havent had chance to get it on the dyno at uni yet!!

Fit it on splines at engine end and knock it forward until it will fit on splines gearbox end then knock it towards gearbox until it stops not until its only just on, this way i have never had any probs. My plan is to use stock propshaft until i break it, although logic would say you should break traction before you break the prop!!
