Clio 16v
Hi Guys,
I intend to run a base model mk2 p1 clio with the b18ft volvo engine. Reasons behind it are i have a donor car available with the engine, and finding a clean mk2 is easier than finding a clean mk1.
Problem is as i understand it 172 suspension wont fit without some large faffing around. I also understand from search function and other info that the base models handle just fine with a suspension upgrade (hubs/wishbones etc all fine).
So do i go to the expense and faffing around of getting the 172 gear on the car and go standard suspension with the sportline kit. Or do i go full aftermarket on the base model gear.
Another issue is braking, if i need to go 172 brakes etc, surely it'd be easier to go down the route of a full 172 subframe?
Or am i talking out of my arse
