If you want to do it cheap, get a set of 15s, and run a set of Yoko parada spec 2s for the fist couple of times.
They are very cheap they are not the best tyre but are good enough then go for a set of 888 or similar.
15s are the Key to keeping costs lower though. (if you dont have a 197/200)
Racing on the public roads :dapprove:
Go on a track day where people are pushing there cars and you will find out how quick your 172 is and how quick other cars are. You will also learn that its the driver that is the main factor, because most hot hatchers are very close to each other any how...
Well, My bothers old 172 had sportlines and standard shocks, the ride was so much smoother than my cupped 182. Ive never been in a uncupped 182, but it can not be much different to a 172.
Yes a remap is a good investment, but it depends on what else you plan to do.
If you plan to do, Exhaust, inlets etc some time in the near future a remap should come last.
But if you dont plan any other mods get it done.
The RStuner generic map is as good as anything for a standard car but if...
The standard air boxs arent to bad on the clios, unlike 106s and similar that react well to simple breathing mod. Power is harder to get from the clios.
Consider the JMS set up, they did some testing and saw some gains.
Not always true, My brother got a £80 or something return when he changed his 172 insurance over to his Focus RS.
Its also cheaper for me to insure a MK1 Focus RS than it is to insure my 182.
In the northeast, either
Mickleton Services (renault specialist) - Outside barnard castle about 1 hours drive from Newcastle over the tops. (Hutchie on here)
Or
Mendal motors (renault specialist) - In Stockton about 40 minutes down the A19.
Yes, but that does not matter when fitting the caliper, just buy different discs.
They wont fit under a 16 inch wheel, and i m sure it was mentioned on here before that you would need the whole pedal assembely for it to work as well as some brackets.
