Well after some fabrication we have some success. Next is LSD, lower ratios and either ITBs or the JMS :)

Don't dismiss Kumho V700s either. They have amazing grip and offer a vast range of compounds.

try camskill for 888s. They were cheapest when I bought some for the evo.

I went through 4 clutches in 2 years of evo ownership and less than 15k miles. I managed to destroy one in 150 miles. I did a lot of sprinting with balls out launches before anyone says I must be a cretin who can't drive lol. The clutch does seem very good on the clio 172, so we'll see how...

If you change in 2nd at 7200 what revs does it pickup at in 3rd? Same if you do it in 3rd? Peak power is one thing, but raised rev limits help you keep it in the usable peak power range throught the gears. I did a hillclimb recently in my standard 172 and noticed that changing on the...

That looks really nice. I will be looking at doing something in July, so hopefully the mad rush for those will be finished and we will have some unbiased reviews to go off. Thanks for showing me that. Ian

They probably are if you run oil in them :S I can't begin to tell you how much that engine had been neglected. Cams were very badly scored, as was the head. Had oil in the inlet. The oil pump area was covered in silicone. The dephazer pulley was knackered. The oil filter looked years old...

It was clever photography mate, it is covered in dents and scratches which doesn't bother me as it is purely for hillclimbs and track use. The seats are amazing, but I will be amazed if they both go in easily. One is XL to fit my fat ass in it lol. I will probably have to mount the...

Having bought the 172 Cup a couple of months ago, we quickly realised that it hadn't been looked after and the engine needed replacing. I bought it cheap with an engine noise that just sounded like knackered lifters. So, new engine went it. Put a new dephazer pulley, cam belt, full service...

I've checked and the clio he wants them for is a 54 plate 1.2 extreme. I am 99.9% sure they will go straight on.

Could anyone tell me if the wheels from my 2003 clio 172 cup would fit any other clios? I'm selling them on ebay and someone has asked the question. I'm guessing they will.

Well, not much left of the evo now :( This is the latest pic of the clio. I had to buy a new engine for it, as the one it came with was totally paggered. So, cam belt, dephazer pulley, full service, brembo HC discs and carbone lorraine pads all round, group N engine and gearbox mounts...

Cool, My corbeau revs are about 9kgs with the mounts. Still, they are a lot lighter than the standard evo seats. (They were 27kgs each).

Does anyone know how much the front seats weigh? And the rears?
