Re: 205 Tyres and Lowering Springs on 172 Cup.... Issues? My 172 ran 205/45 16 on coil overs very low and is fine For the track I use 888 195/50 16 and they rub slightly under heavy cornering

Thought you may notice that and on the wrong side too Drivers seat on the left hand side of the car Only use it on track and with harnesses The seats were originally in a mk1 mondeo so its a long boring story to why that ended up A the wrong way round and B ended up in the Clio

I Welded mondeo runners and bolted to the floor Still fully adjustable

saw this last night on ebay, looks lovely a cracking car you have there:)

Take the plug out of number one and drop a little oil down the bore, re do the compression test and if it goes straight up to 190/200 then you know its the rings and nothing to do with the valves, i would not worry to much as 177 is still well in the green mate
