Just got a Clio 172!!



  BMW M3
Hi guys this is my first post on here. I've just bought a 172 for a track day car and wondering what you think I should get done to it? It already has a few mods so want to know what to do next to get a bit more out of it on the cheap!

List of mods

Fully stripped
2x cobra bucket seats
Sparco Harness'
Motor corsa steering wheel and boss
Eibach camber bolts 2.5 degree camber
Aftermarket springs
BREMBO HC Discs
DS2500 pads
Good ridge hoses
Team dynamics 1.2 wheels
Toyo R888 tires
Front and rear strut braces
Bolt in safety systems cage
Whiteline rear ARB
Custom made Exhaust
K&N Apollo induction kit
Custom Re-map and dyno at 190bhp

So what would you do next? I'm thinking brake ducts and coilovers? Or 197 brembo calipers but don't know where to get them from.
Also is there a specialist for this car in the stoke-on-Trent / Staffordshire Area?

Thanks in advance and I look forward to spending some time on this already great Owners Club!!

Sounds pretty much sorted to me.

there's a guy on here from Stoke who's well up on these cars, Mickstoke think he's called. Has his own track beast.

Looks like it's got some decent parts on it already, first thing I'd do is book a track day and drive the thing

Then you can see what's what

Brake ducts,or removing the front fog lights and arches will help get airflow to the front brakes- cheap and effective mod

Ref the Brembo 4pots from the 197, check the group buy with the brackets etc:

Any brake parts, you need to talk to G 172, he's your man for those.

Cheers Dan!

cheers guys, booking a track day for 2 weeks time to give her a run out and see whats what. will have to see how the brakes hold up. i'm a big fan of stopping power and braking late on the track.
