yep much thinner on the rear as they are solid disks, no need for vented rear disks on the 172/182, or most small front wheel drive cars for that matter
powerflex lower mount bushes was one of the best mods i done to my 1.2 16v BUT.......
its been one of the worst to my 172, on the 1.2 16v the other mounts were fine with the uprated bushes for thousands of miles and fine even once it was sold.
but its killed atleast one of the other mounts...
I thought you hated your clio and it was a piece of s**t etc etc etc if so then id get the xbox? if not then deffo springs but id leave the refurb and filter and get uprated dampers with the springs if u can stretch to it
pretty pointless to be honest yes and not exactly fast although in a mk2 clio with some minor mods it would be quite fun to drive and a blast down a backroad
but i cant see it being anywhere near as much hastle as a 2.0 conversion, but thats all down to the ECU, im not sure what needs done for...

1.2 rattled to bits quite a lot due to the fact it was on...
red saxo R457 KDG if thats yours its in it! "I overtake and out-corner everything" lol nice
i got the mag as i quite like the clio, not a fan of the interior but love the colour, wheels are nice but id have raised it a bit more so i could run big spacers to have them filling the arches!

a bit of samco hosing and it was sorted.
