    195/45/15 or 195/50/15

    getting 4 new yoko A539's and everyone had told me to get 195/50/15 but ive noticed i can get them in 195/45/15 (they cost quite a bit more tho!) ignoring cost tho is it worth the extra money, from a handling point of view, thats all i care about i dont bother about ride quality or noise...

    how easy is it to get a 2.0 turbo in a clio?

    not sure about the other engines but the megane 225 engines are 225bhp but the gearboxes are massive, and thats only the start of the problems! im sure ive heard the renault 21 engine is also to big for the clio, and assume is probably true since no 1 seems to do it!

    couple of engine questions

    cheers mate thats a great help! but one thing i dont understand is why does it drop off the power band in 1st gear at about 5,000rpm but not in any other gears? is this some sort of limiter in the ecu?

    Keep the 1.2 or not??

    you say you want more speed off the mark, 17s will be killing your acceleration, especially off the mark. i found mine was slightly slower off the mark with 16s than it is with 15s, but didnt bother me to much, the handling did tho! so im back to 15s like middo says, sort the suspension and...
