The best tyre I have found and i have them on my 400 bhp impreza and all the other 300+ impreza owners i know have on is Toyo Proxes T1R.
They are excellent wet and dry and i have a good source for these and can do them at a bloody good price fitted and balanced or might be able to get them...
I have this in my clio and it sits flush and it's all ipod ready and can be controlled from the head unit and it's under £150.

I have a place that only do MOT's. They don't do repairs and I have found that they don't go as mad as a place that does because there not bothered about getting work off them.
Cut a long story short only go to a place that does MOT's unless your 100% sure that your not going to or try to get...
Just looked closer at the pic and it looks like it has the cup spoiler on it. I think I'm gonna do it but it's just down to how much he wants for the car.
Just been offered an 05 Artic blue 182ff with just over 23k and full service history on it. It looks a nice clean car and well looked after. Not sure if it has cup packs but it has the anthracite wheels.
I love the bronze colour but I think it would have to be acid yellow or lunar grey for me.
They all look mint and I'm now considering a vee for my second car but are they gonna come down in price yet.
You are allowed 1.6mm on the center 3/4's of the tyre. There is no set tread limit for the outer edges but if they look excessivly worn they can fail them.
I don't think it will look anything like it as neither did the 197 when they relesed the prototype. The interior was completely different and they had changed things.
most 172/182's run an offset of et38 which will widen the track on yours slightly but I have et40's on the 1.2 and I have no problems or heard of any either at the mo.
The lower the no. the wider the wheel.
If you put et35 on you will probably rub on the front and you might catch on the back...
I had one very similar to this and if you can change the colour of the unit from green to orange like the one I had it looks mint and doesn't look out of place.
I now have a silver and blue alpine one in and that looks nice too. They don't sit out of the dash and if done right, i.e. the stereo...
Ideally you could do with it warm as it opens the thermostat and allows more to come out and you know the system is fully drained before you refill.
You also need to make sure the engine comes back up to temp after re filling so it circulates and fills the system properly and allows all air to...
Thanks to Mike@rentech for the excellent advice on removing the dash.
It was as easy as what he said it was a within less than half an hour the dash was in pieces. :S:S:S:S
There isn't a lot of room behind the dash but should be enough to manouver the wires.:D:D:D:D:D
I'm thinking of buying a valver or williams clio but can't decide wether it's worth it to pay the extra for the williams. i.e about an extra grand or so for a second daily driver.
I'm looking for one as i want a second car to run round in and save the scooby for a weekend toy as it's killing me...
I had my eye on this car myself before I bought the scoob but didn't want to pay the 12,000 they were asking for it.
It was sat on a renault dealers website for months on end and i kept looking and it was always there.
Go get it chris this car is clean and the best looking, i have only seen...
Couldn't hold the tears back chris, if I hadn't bought a house I would of snapped not only your arms but your legs off as well.
This is the best and cleanest ph1 172 I have ever seen. It's funny I was asking maz last week or so if you were selling it I was looking for a second car. :(:(:(:(:(...
Give us a bell and can sort you out bits at a reasonable price form one of my good friends.
The apexi commander (£700) is well worth the money compared to an ecutek remap (£550), the ecutek remap can only be done on 99+ cars due to the ecu compatability.
Speak to andy carr off the lads forum...
Arrived this morning. Thanks
I had a very clever postman (thanks Royal Mail) deliver them, who decided that he would put them in the cardboard recycling bin for me and shoved a card through the door.
Luckily it wasn't bin day. :S:S:S:S
There is a clio smashed up with this kit fitted on the forum somewhere.
I had to live in the same town and it's makes the rustiest, dirtiest clio look an absolute minter. :approve::approve::approve...
Spotted a smashed up vee for breaking at the renault place at accy. looked like a ph2 255 thingy in silver with front end damage.
Shame to see in there, oh well could be good engine conversion material for mk2 ph2 clio.
Thank god this is off the road. I used to see it all the time as I live in the same town, even when it was looking clean it was still very bad.
The exhaust was hanging off and it was the worst looking car ever.
