Best thing is don't change andyhting for the powerflex stuff get the Renault ones.
New ball joints and stearing arms wouldn't be a bad ideal
New top mount (the rubber donut) at the front and new rubber bushes at the back.
The reason you get this probelm is that either
The wheel hasn't been locked centeral the both wheels adjusted or that the've just the the wheels to be parrel without using the stearing wheel set as center.
Ge the computer cleared of the fault for £60 (check Ebay there a place in Germany who does it ) or buy a new one for £350.
Then new seat or airbag and stick seat up price well you woulnd't buy a nw one so scrappie costs.
Stearing you need to find whats bent might be just stearing arms migh be...
You only declare the fact its got a different engine which under the rules of the DVLA says its still the old car.
If you said its a 172 you'd reshselled as such ie its the 172 gear in a new shell they'd get it checked.
Be interesting to see I don't think ther'd be much in it. Its down to drivers. I can keep up with some 2.0's on track on my car stock as I drive a bit quick you' need to get a driver to drive both cars who can actualy get the best out of them

Personaly forget it buy the quicker car.
Remap/tunning box your takingin 85hp or so.
No point in decat or exhaust till you've sorted out loads of extra fuel/smoke.
No gain its just going to damage the turbo upping the boost you need more fuel first before touching the turbo.
Witihin the first 20 miles or so get the engine right the way through the rev range as soon as its warm put full load on it.
Idealy chnage the oil after a few hundred miles in both engine and box.
Theres three conversions inot Mk1 that i know of two done by one garage £5k they were asking for it to be done.
Williams are 150hp stock yep.
TT engine is 280hp when mapped up.
Not that difficult to fit a fair bit of work though.
The proper way it to measure fromt ground to the bottom of the sills/the center of the rear suspension bush and alos the distance formt ground to the center of the wheel.
More commonly measure from the center of the wheel to the top of the arch.
I'll get some measures tomorrow.
Re: Clutch, waht clutch?!
Yep.
The official designaltion of group N is showroom spec there allowed small chnaged but nothing usable.
I had a performace clutch in my Williams It was terribale to use and the build qualiaty was that bad that it failed stock Renault was just as stong better...
You want maximum power so maybe change up at 5k, whilst you might be way out of power when you change up you'll oly be down to sat 3k wheras changing up at 4k would pust you at say 2k.
Its all about maximisisng power curve time.
The extra rpm ie 4k to 5k is great helps loads on track ask...
Thee so such thing as a 2.0 Dynamique so they isnure the same rate as the doner car.
DLVA wise its ok so long as you don't chnage to much most conversions to swop to much though but thats the least of the DVLA's worries.
