Im not saying my seats and spare weighs 100kg btw in case anyone gets confused lol

I've taken out the spare and tools and the backseat rests on a sport (more to come) already it accelerates better in third gear and stops quicker to. This isn't placebo as my brakes are utter shite (got a full set on order from g172) If shedding weight just means the suspension/brakes/tyres...

I'd rather the car sit at standard height bit handle better and have more grip.

How are 99% of suspension setups "too soft for track work" when as standard its designed as an out the box track car. People rave about 172 cups yet aftermarket suspension is too soft so therefore cup suspension should be too soft. Im confused.

I think I'd be silly to not get brand new bilsteins for £500 though... :S

How old? Im really holding off on suspension till I can be sure of what I want/need.

Yeah im still undecided to be honest £400 is still cheaper than the B14's and im not looking for a pro racer setup just something thats more darty for the roads and nicer on track.

It is but I thought there must have been more than a kilo difference.

What shocked me was the weight between cup spoiler and sport. I thought the sport one would be a lot lighter.

Neither. Just buy a cheap 172. As been said. They are just Clio's after all. Sod resale value. According to many people 205 Gti's should be worth a million quid right now but they aren't...

In a nutshell Cliosport needs to start taking donations for a wind tunnel of our own lol

I don't know why people haven't covered the rear wheels. Thats a huge aerodynamic benefit right there provided the brakes have ducts. I think spoilers and diffusers usually just complete a "look" a bit like how a 172 has massive arches that are bigger than they need to be tk fit the wheels in.

I think thats more to do with the car "bouncing" over them and the wheels losing grip for a split second. Can never have it all which is why most reviews said they preferred non cup RS models over broken surfaces.

Check your alternator is on tight and isnt about to fall off and secured on with two bolts.....something I wished I had done.

No its a full size 172 sport wheel with tyre and jack etc. Debating on stripping more of the car now but the rear looks "tidy" as is. Also not sure if theres a lot of weight to be saved for a road/occasional track car.

I think im going to go for b14's as im no pro driver and I spend more time on the road tbh. That and I couldnt set a car up....if I did that the car would end up being a fwd drift car the way I like to drive lol

Haha nice! Can tell the suspension is stiff by the way the engine goes bum bum bum as it goes over the bumps :)

The odd thing I found is removing the spare wheel does make a difference as its so blooming heavy. But what shocked me was taking out the rear seat rests which weigh nowhere near as much. That made a big difference. Steering feels lighter at the front now! Could be that the spare is very...

I heard the Clio 197/200 diffuser generates 40kg of downforce at 120mph. So it does something....albeit not a lot.

Where's that from? From searching I've done no one on cliosport actually seems to like any suspension thats available. I was debating on cup dampers and pro line springs the added advantage as it looks stofk to an insurance company.

Whats the general opinion on these? Better than say prolines and cup shocks? My car will never be an out and out track car. I would like to do at least 3 a year though but its going to spend most of its time on the road to be honest taking me from work and back and just me driving. I know...

I think they look awesome but unless they actually do anything positive I wouldnt be interested

Looks awesome especially without plates! What suspension you got on it again? BC? The missus is whats the word "approving" me buying something big for the car and i'm thinking suspension would be the one thing that would otherwise take me ages to save up for. Im thinking B14's?

Epic bump....I tried and failed to remove mine as I have no idea how a torx piece can physically fit to undo the last bolt by the bits you sit on. Must use miniture tools in France....

That dynamat stuff is heavy! Had to clear a load of it out a 106 once and even the small bits for the speakers were heavy!

Just need to save weight and remove the vehicle inspection sticker..

Overrated lol I overtook one in a swift on the ring *he may have been a crap driver though :)

Except @nurburgring even lightly modded 200 cups seem to destroy every 172/182 by at least a good 20 seconds..

Let us know how you get on with fitting them and whether you use the sliders or not and how supportive they are Im debating on them, sparco sprints or bimarco futuras

Im glad im not the only one to absolutely detest the white bits on this car lol
