    Potential pitfalls of a cheap 172 as a track car

    i was after a track car and ended up buying a 106 rallye with a 1.6 16v engine parts are so cheap to replace compared to clios as easier to get hold of. i suggested pulling the abs fuse in another thread and was shot down saying it would cause 50/50 braking instant death lmao.

    Running ABS on track car?

    all the compensator are pre set all valves in the abs pump are open. only time they are working is when the abs is in use and the valves open/close to hold or reduce pressure in each brake to stop the wheel locking out.

    Will these alloys fit and drive ok?

    are they renault fitment? as being et49 sounds like vauxhall fitment? if they are vauxhall fitment the wheel centre bore will be to small to fit the renaults.
