..full fat 172, prob not the best person to ask as im having an offset crisis of my own (eg what offset to have with 205/45 and lowered 40-50mm) but basically if the wheels sit further out your car will have a slightly wider track(stance eg), but were talking mm so the average jo wont notice...
..stock mk2 is ET48.5, 182 cup wheels are ET45 so yes they would "be to the outside more". as for lowering and not having probs i am undecided still, as somebody has yet to give me solid evidence on correct offset & lowering with 205/45.
..you wont get much power from just an aftermarket exhaust anyway, but it will be stainless so it will last (cheaper than replacing with renault oem) and you can get any sound you require, where are you from? as for the testing bit i dont believe it but then i am an unbeliever. as i have a...
..dont know about the patch sounds dodgy, id go stainless if you can afford it, frees up a good gain on the vee to, sure some vee owners will be along to tell you where to purchase soon :oops:
..depending on where you go and your choice on cams route..VERY roughly..bodies £3.5-4kish (pending on what you want exactly from the car), head £500ish, cams £2-500ish, smt £500ish, down to your budget and how crazy you are to spend £ on a clio :oops: (very driveable)
..2.25" would be a good compromise, any less and you may restrict flow as i found (pending on your other mods of course?) but to get the full benefit performance wise a decat is required, i have a full system @2.5" and its loud but necessary
..dont dunk it, wash it through from the clean side to the dirty side, then dry naturally eg not with a hairdryer or radiator, when fully dry spray lightly with the spray provided, if you get the pipercross cleaning kit the instructions are pretty good :cool:
..not sure of the rotas but it seems oz are lightest @ 4.9kg for 7x15 (offset unknown), pro-race 1 @ 6.1kg 7x15 (@ highest offset), not sure of turinis but id guess pro-race 1 are lighter, sure someone else can confirm...
..helo, where you from? (depends what tuners are nr you) basically its down to your budget, as Loon says the only kit is gaz £500 at the mo(which makes his a bargain), IK £250-350ish, exhaust full system £400ish, & with the other mods eg maybe headwork, cams, manifolds etc with an smt6/7(piggy...
