    First drive of BB’s Clio Turbo

    Nick, what are you using for a gearbox/diff, driveshafts and clutch? I presume these are not standard? Otherwise they are very likely be short lived, even if you do elect to using wheelspin to regulate the torque. The output you are producing must be close on double the normal for that model...

    172 brakes...

    Yep Simon, I would agree. The braided hoses will give a slightly firmer middle pedal. The DOT 5 is less likely to boil under duress. Only problem is that it will require flushing more regulary compared to standard fluid to keep up the efficiency.

    Probs with farting/squeaking sub

    Firstly, check that you are not over driving the amp input causing distorsion, failing that secondly check the speaker in your sub box is not mechanically distorted, causing the voice coil to rub against the magnet. Try running the sub woofer speaker at the same low volume when it is removed...

    First drive of BB’s Clio Turbo

    172 brakes...

    Have a look at the Cliosport article "Autocar (13th July 2000) " Why would you want to upgrade brakes that have a 100-0 mph spec at 3.99 secs? If youre worried about brake fade why not fit cross-drilled / slotted vented disks on the front with the same diameter and with the standard pads. I...

    Mk1 172 Front lights!!! Arrrgh!!

    What brand of bulbs are you using? e.g. In the past ive found the cheapo Ring/osram bulbs seem good value for money but dont last, especially with the jarring of harder suspension. I always use Phillips bulbs these days. I had Phillips VisionPlus H7/H1 bulbs in my last 1.6 16V dyna + for 4000...

    MK11 172 centre brake light is clear and has an extended spoiler over standard (But should be larger in my opinion like MK2 V6!)
