Tell me about the DF4 clio anyone?
My 1.4 is about as economical as pouring money into a hole by the side of the road and im really highly amused by the thought of a 1.2 16valve.
Its technicly a Valver..............................................................................
And surely more economical on petril, tax, etc.
Though I think theyre later blocks??
Anyone know if the gearbox fit is correct?
Or anything else for that matter?
Let the knowledge banks open!

Just valver it, mine used less fuel than the B14 around the doors, and that's with hosepipe-tastic carb jets!

1.8 8v from an RSi?
2.0 8v from a 400?
They're all just as much work as a 16v really, so you might as well just give in and accept that we'll all have 16v power eventually.

1.8 8v sounds intresting man.
Wondered what was in RSis.
Think you might be right though.
Unless something else comes up trebble cheap, a valver it shall be.

Double skint man.
And in no real hurry anyway.
So after you sir.
Might not have been such a good idea calling it out though man.
Probly just increased interest in it 12fold.
