A little update - New tyres on old wheels

[Remedi]

As a birthday treat my dad offered to pay for some new low profile tyres on me clio, cheers dad

I wanted F1 Eagles but there were none in stock Hankook's were my only choice (Ventus K102 195/45s).

I swapped the white turbines for silver ones as they are in bad condition (flaking paint)






Very pleased with them!


Next on the 'to be fitted list' are:

New discs and pads, nothing OTT as it's only a 1.4 after all.

And some FK coilovers which should be arriving very soon (hopefully!) from 2Modified.co.uk

Used to have the Ventus K102's (rim protection too iirc) on my mk1 172.
Stunning low budget tyre imo, worth every penny! Tons of grip in them
Although weren't too supreme in snow lol

Excellent motor, well looked after

will do!

The springs i have at the mo are crap! and i'm running only one damper at the rear lol. I can't wait to drive the car with the new brakes and suspension fitted.

Cheers everyone

very quick motors for a 1.4 i think, keep it in the powerband n change gears quickly n you'll be surprised what you can keep up with. ide love to have mine on good brakes n suspention but we cant all be rich like you

 

[Remedi]

Who's Rich? I'm Oli

lol

oh, What's the power band on an 1.4 8v/RT?

 

[Final Maxim]

god knows, i always change a split second before im about to hit the limiter, if i change any sooner than that it feels sluggish in the next gear
