Id make sure the brakes and tyres have plenty of meat on them, make sure shocks are ok (not leaking) then do 3 or 4 track days - wait until you are used to the car - upgrades are only required once the car is the weak link, I have been doing track days since I passed my test in 1997, but when I...
Thats the issue I have in most cars lol, the only car I have owned that I actually felt 100% comfortable driving was my S1 Elise - position was perfect, and in the Clio I can see myself going as far as moving the gearstick back once the seats in position, once Iv dropped the column down to suit...
I need some subframes for my Corbeau's running on corbeau side mounts.
As im a lanky feck, having the seat low is probably a good option.
Im not bothered about it sliding, though if there is the option of it, it would mean other people could drive it, as im 90% leg lol so end up with the...
Does it have a spare wheel well?
If it does then it's definately a 172, if it doesn't then it could have been cut out, which should be easy to tell by the weld marks, if no welding marks, and no spare wheel well then it's a 182

Cheers dude...
it's worth doing tbh, looking back driving a few when they were new, it is a big difference.
Mine is polybushed throughout which tighens it up even more
Guy on WC has recently sold his Williams which he had fully restored and literally looked as it had rolled out of the factory, he got around the £6000 mark
Was good to see you again mate, and thank you for letting me have a drive of your car.
My opinion on it is I think it's a fantastic conversion, to get the bad bit out of the way first, due to the steering rack bush issue it was hard to use the power fully, as it was desperately trying to...
Next update!
Well my search for a new engine ( See this thread for how the old engine sounded - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?648722-My-Exclusive-engine-rattle ) came up top trumps 2 weeks ago, when a member friend on here offered me his spare Ph1 172 engine from a Ph1 he...
