Great read, i wish more people would go into detail like this. Reviews like this are much more interesting than reading in a magazine. I know what your saying about the breaks, I have read some jornalists describing it on super car levels of stopping power! wow. Great car, great review...

Re: My mk1 track car blog Great read, plz plz keep us updated. Love threads like ths.

nice

Welcome.. I;m sure someone on here can help. Are the screws hidden by pannels or trim that can be pulled of?

VVVV. nice. How did you stop the air bag light coming on? Where did you get these from? how much? :-p

P.S. I use to pay £1400 in my first year of owner ship.

Age 23 1 NCB mods: inets, remap exhaust and lowering springs all declared Green Light insurnace: £780 Im happy with that.

Looks like a good meet and good standard of cars. Good work guys.

I fink dat is well fit init.

im thinking of getting one and I was going to paint it yellow. Yello is like a safety colour

bummer dude, piccies?

So Mike, could you not have diagnosed the problem before you did all that work? why did you only find what the true cause was after the work had been done? Sounds like it all got rushed abit, feel sorry for you guys! sounds like a right mess. TBH id dont think you have a hope in hell...

clio looks nice, how much does that need lowering thou! lol

Harry, where do you park your car? on the road or a drive? do you live in a ghetto or something :-p

How they do that?

As I said before gonna take the advice and save the cash and just get some eibach springs for a small drop, just to make the car look right. Might go for H&R's if I see a cheap second hand pair. :-p

Took my clio in to Reno and some spanner monkey had pressed the bonnet close and in doing so dinted/creased the bonnet! I just could not be bothered complaining, imadgine how long it would take for them to order and fit a new racing blue bonnet with racing stripes! Pppfff forget about it already..

Ok thanks for all the sound advice, i've decided to save the cash and get some eibach prolines as i do intend to track my car so the extra stiffness will help, plus it will lower it a little. cheers!

hhumm, i understand what your saying. There is no point spending £500 on something i will regret. I will always wonder what the H&R's cud have been like lol. Where is the best place to buy H&R's from?

So what is the best price you cna get H&R's for? there like £800? :/

Are there any other brands you can recomend that are more comfortable? Im on a budget of £500. I heard FK's are good??? Must be adjustable for track and road use... thx

Wow the stiffest? not to keen on that.:S Can you not soften the shockers? Have your bedded in? and also how far have you decked it? Id only be looking for a 25mm drop for road use and 60mm drop for track.:approve:

Hello, Im looking at fitting these coil overs to my ph1 172: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250164261394&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015 What do you guys think to this setup and can anyone recomend them? They are fully adjustable, aprat from camber I think. thanks

All CUPs are French :rasp:

As above, im buying some second hand GAZ coil overs from a 172 FF owner. Will they fit ok on my ph1 172? Please dont just guess, only post a reply if you know this for certain as i dont fancy spendin £400 to find they dont fit! Thanks in advance:)

Think my money would be on the clio, but depends on the skill of the driver. I mean what are the BHP per tonne figures looking like? the clio must be close to 260/270 bhp per tonne and im guessing the M3 must be less??

R26 anyday! no contest... Come on its 2.0 turbo and has nice interior more toys, looks better, sounds better and goes better. The ride quality is on another level, so much better but can also be a beast if you want it to. Its certainly not as nimble. I think the meggy is just abit more gown...

Thanks for the help, i did do a brief search but cud not find what i was looking for. Im sure ill have more questions when i start fitting them.

So do i need any take any bits off the orginal suspension or do i just fit the coil overs on the front.?

I think your wrong there? I heard you dont need spring compressers? as the springs are not under compression? when you say tranferr the top bits, which 'bits' are hose? Thanks
