    Size wheel on a mk1 clio

    Just out of interest why ahve you lowered it that much, if its stripped that suggests that you want to go fast, so raise the back end up to just hihger than the front, and it will corner ALOT better

    Removing Exhaust Baffles

    95% of scorpion systems brag the middle box really low, and so it hits the road on bumps if you have a low car. I had a straight through centre section madeup at powerflow for £145, or you could get the centre section off a 1.2 clio, this is a straight through one, but i'm not sure how the...

    Should Reno have kept the same design?

    They shoudl ahve done somethign to the 182 to make it stand out more, the wider arches are hard to see unless you know about them where as the ones ont eh 16v/willy stood out a mile, and the bonnet vent. I'm also a strong believer that they should ahve given teh trophy more power
