I've recently bought 4 used medium hankook full slicks in 200/580/15 but one of them isnt usable so only have 3. These dont come up often used so doubt I'll get a single or even a pair withoutbuying new. I also would prefer a wider rear tyre.

Octavia is pretty much the same car. It has extended rear chassis rails for the extra space and obviously the interior and body shape but the chassis, running gear, engine, gearbox is exactly the same. Have a look through my YouTube channel for how they go on track, there's even a vid in there...
Which MR2 did you try the Roadster? CTR is a good shout but there are so many dogs it untrue. Ive just helped a mate buy one and the amount that have been clocked, abused or just rusted away is crazy. They all seem to be in the midlands as well which after this recent experience i'll never look...
I thought the Clio had decent performance when I first bought mine. That was coming from a 300hp/300 ft-lb MPS 6. Seating position and steering wheel is terrible I agree but easily sorted. A induction kit and exhaust really does bring the car alive not in performance so much just the drama and...
