Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio! I dont want to go F4R as i prefer the power delivery of an F7R thats my preference. If it s***s itself then i may do that in the future but for now its staying F7R!!!!!

Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio! Well another update. Tuesday 21/02/2012 I was in the garage a bit more last week than usual but this wasn’t because I was continuing with the clio parts. I ended up spending about 5 hour sorting all of the stuff in the garage as it was a complete mess and...

Thats all i needed thanks. TBHi have never sat in a 197 so wouldnt have a clue

As above how different are they? basically wondering if a clio 197 cage can be made to fit into a clio 172? Thanks Dan

Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio! Ideally I need to get the cage welded in there so I can start working around the car. That’s the main thing I need now the other bits I need can wait until the cash flow comes up a bit lol. Tiny update, have done a little bit more but going to wait until I...

I am buying a poverty spec 1.2 and I was just wondering if the 172 widetrack will fit under the 1.2 front and rear arches. Light modification can be done to the front arches as I don't really want to run 172 ones. Also I will be running approximately 3 degrees of negative camber Thanks dan...
