    Best Tyres?

    Without commenting on value for money, what are the best tyres to go for?? on a modded valver that does mainly country road blasts, looking at contisport 2's, but at £370 for a set, i thought id do some shopping first, so what can people recommend? spending <£100 per corner? thanks alex

    How low to go...

    you can go pretty low, eventually the antiroll bar will hit the chassis rails, after which it wont go any lower, and it will knock like a c**t! but by this point my bumper was almost on the floor, mick (white clio van) removed his ARB to go that bit lower (on airbags), but im sure it will...

    Best size of alloys for me?

    lol no arch rubbing because you could smuggle a family of imagrants into the country with that arch gap! personally i think clios look silly so high off the floor, and £55 for partworns says it all! i find myself replacing my front tyres once a year, part worn a539's £55 a corner on 17s...

    Best size of alloys for me?

    14"s with some poke, get them bitches right out the arches! then lower it all the way to the floor! failing that, as everyone said, 15s tyres are cheap, alloys are cheaper, they weight a lot less, your car will sit lower, you wont have arch rubbing, 17s make your brakes look tiny under the...

    any tint on the front is illegal, they need to let 70% light through, and theyre all tinted from the factory.

    alloys on my car?? opinions

    i think if you lowered it to the floor, you colour pull them off, as said, it depends why look youre going for.

    Little bit of mayo on oil cap?

    sounds fine to me dude, i used to get it in my old 1.2, its condensation that comes about with too many short journeys, when you have a large amount, and spots of mayo on the dipstick, starting thinking headgasket! lol

    My evenings work!

    surely it would just burn off?? without setting the wrap on fire, much like it would burn off if there was no wrap on it what so ever?? im guessing everyone else just sprayed it with clear stuff, hence why i thought it wasnt sprayed

    My evenings work!

    really?? most of the ones, if not all of the ones ive seen have never been wrapped, i though the stuff was speciallt develeoped not to catch fire under any temperature?? ebay mate, came with a few metal cable ties, but not nearly enough, 10m of the stuff was arount the £8 mark!

    lowering advise please

    cheap springs will be useless, go for branded springs, (eibach, apex, spax, gmax etc) Those spring clamps look scarey to me! i wouldnt want to touch a spring with such a poxy clamp fighting the force of the spring! id sooner just cut the spring in half! best value is the rokkor coilover kit...

    my 172 sould i or shouldn't i that is the question?

    tbh, the only thing i really dislike about the car is the wheels, all the other mods are fine, theyre your choice. but speedline turinis are fantastic wheels!! and thats not just cliosport, they are just very well made wheels, ive been to a few FIA european rallies, and so many people there...

    Looking for people with cyclone blue clios..(non sport)

    i wouldnt go for 17s again, i did first time, and ended up getting rid of them. go for some 15s by speedline, 2118s or turinis look through the threads of non-sports to get some inspiration!

    My evenings work!

    the heatsheilds in valvers look dirty though! plus i really like the look tbh! the manifold was due to go in the car when the weather looked up so it was just sitting around, £10 mod.

    My evenings work!

    I heat wrapped my williams manifold and downpipe! ive never done any heat wrapping before so i think it went very well! ive done it so i can do away with all the grotty heat sheilds because they look hideous! plus it may have some small benifits! so i thought what the hell!

    Looking for people with cyclone blue clios..(non sport)
