    How do 17 wheels effect the handling of a MK172

    "your assuming that the MK2 is set up for 15". I would imagine (though I dont know for definate) that the setup for MK2 was modified to accomodate the bigger wheel (suspesion, speedo, geering etc.) so therefore going from 16" to 17" in a MK2 would be the same as going form 15" to 16" in a MK1."...

    V6 bumper kit

    capt..it wont fit the mk2 and doesnt make the arches any larger. so, i think if you rip arches off another car then you could fit them in. only the rear bumper fit s the MK2, but the front will with a lot of persuasion! VR6: which colour magic tree, i like yellow the best..... BTW, email...

    How do 17 wheels effect the handling of a MK172

    so the same suspension setup in the MK1 and 2? wont feel the difference between wheel sizes? goin from 15" to 17" is the same end result that you would get if you went from 16"-17"!! abeit a bit of diff for weight allowed, but its nothing that matters! a lighter wheel has its benefits and...

    Britain’s new GTi champ - CLIP CUP (according to Autoca

    agree with capt, seats are great and even on a track you probably wont see any diff between a std 172 and a cup. if it had another 40bhp then thats another matter, but they didnt bother with the engine! i dont care abuot 3mm lower etc. although the increased castor could be beneficial on a...

    How do 17 wheels effect the handling of a MK172

    youll have more grip....but whats that when it lets go in the biggest way possible! i wouldnt go above 16" and definately no wider. in fact, i would probably revert to 15" so i could use some decent track rubber. Concentrate on chassis details before wheels, if your a pure driver, you...
