I’ve picked up a cheap 172 that I’m looking at having some cheap track fun. The cars currently on standard front shocks with Apex springs and on the back it’s got Apex springs with Spax adjustable shocks. I’m not wanting to spend a fortune and break the bank or any track records. What would you...

I wouldn't use harnesses with the trendlines. There is a video on YouTube of a boy using harnesses in a Civic Type R with reclinable recaros and has a crash and the seat snaps. Harnesses should only be used with fixed buckets imo

So the only chassis differences is the lower arms?

So to get to cup spec I'd need to change the lower arms and driveshafts, or would I need the subframe too?

What's different to achieve the wider track?

I'm looking to build a track car to compete in SLS next year and I am not sure if buying a 172 Cup is worth the extra money. The car will be getting all interior and heaters stripped out, poly windows, cage etc. It will also be getting coilovers. Am I right in thinking that the only thing left...

@scotiamr2t yeah I was just having a look at the competitors in E and there is a fair few clios, most of which look like they've got a very good spec so it should be interesting!

I am also looking at building a SLS car for next season, what class are you entering? And are you keeping it fairly standard power wise?

Sorry forgot to add a full cage to the list.

If the car had a fibreglass boot, doors gutted, poly windows, gutted bonnet, full interior stripped and 15s would it be possible to get below 900kg without spending crazy money?

Thanks for all the replies guys, looks like it'll be a 172 Cup I'll be going for. Unfortunately it'll be couple of weeks yet before I buy one. My current car is pretty much ready for track but the price of track tyres and decent discs and pads is going to cost the same as a 172 cup so it...

The plan is to go full track car so all unnecessary items will be getting removed, such as AC, power steering, 90% of the interior, windows will be changed for poly ones and panels will be fibreglass. I don't want to end up buying a normal 172 and then have to source a lot of Cup parts but if...

I am looking at buying a Clio Sport for a track car but I'm not 100% what to go for. Is there any certain models that are best suited for being turned into track cars? If so why?
