Cant beat em for sound, i met a 172 owner some time ago at a trackday and he had one on his. Was one of the loudest cars there and it was the only modification on the car.

If youve lost faith, black circles are good. Not normally as cheap but close, and the service is top notch.
I bothered to look around local tyre fitters last time and all in they were much cheaper than either. Remember, you have to get them fitted and some tyre fitters will refuse to fit them...
I think Turinis look a bit better, but its good that youve taken into account the weight issue, good thinking for trackdays really. GBLeo has the same wheels on his coilovered Cup and it looks great.

They have a talented bunch of journalists at EVO i think, and the photography is out of this world.
I subscribe to some proper track magazines as well but the people cant write an entertaining article for love or money, whereas EVO is like a good book.. great reading whilst on the bog!

Now im playing the game for fun opposed to trying to complete it, i spend ages taking pictures now!
Can we keep all pictures to 640 x 480 please or LINK instead. This thread has taken about 10 mins to load for me!

Tiff Needle is a top bloke and a top driver, ive taken sh*ts with more personality than Nigel Mansell, have no idea why anyone like that boring c**t..
Rather than regurgitating Googles words ill just paste them:
"A year later he achieved the ultimate status of Grand Prix Driver with a couple...
I had that with the same wheels...could always get a valeter round, they normally use industrial strength stuff. My guy normally cleans HGVs so he has some powerful shiznit. Then you can just ask what he uses and get him to get you some...

I think the Z3s have got a perhaps undeserved bad press, they said they didnt handle well but we also had a 2.8 and i thought it delivered enough old school style thrills. A friend has an M Coupe and it is ferociously quick..
Should of got an NSX though!

The car was sold with just the wheels on. The 4 pots went to Fred and the coilovers went to Dan Pages ill fated Clio. Oh, and Jim took the k-tec exhaust.
So quite a lot of difference but nevertheless i still think the Turinis add a bit of class.

I dont do automotive rollerskates. 16s are perfect for the newer Clios in my humble opinion.
My old car (now Spammys):

Back at where it should be Dan! Im glad you came out determined after the bad luck you had. It looks great, although the tyres look like balloons now ;)

Lets face it, the only people who badge up are young drivers, so its for bragging rights only. Same with Sport badges. Theyre not fooling anyone..
Im not sure about this badging down thing either..maybe on j3neds motor because it is actually a sleeper, and would give a decent fight to a...
I guess you wouldnt be able to see when driving at normal height instead of it being jacked up but you can clearly see its just two identical backboxes which look bodged together. I know the system isnt hugely expensive but being a perfectionist id want it to be symmetrical and better welds for...
When i had my k-tec i used to get some genuinely scary MPG figures as i gave it a thrashing every day, low 20s sometimes. The 1.216v doesnt seem to be very economical anyway though..

I dont think there is any need to see how many swear words you can fit into a sentence..what he said kind of makes sense, perhaps not the most sensitive post!
My Clio got a window smashed in Cambridge, im not sure if it was jealousy (it was the only new car in the street) but it was late at...
Are you doing Indy or GP?
The hardest part is the first two corners, paddock being the first. Its probably the best corner on the circuit, but if you go in too fast and lift off then youre off. Top tip, the turn in point is at the service road right on the left, only turn when you get up to...
