Mk1 widetrack vs. Mk2

[Grandpa Joe]

For a track car what would you go for and why? A Mk1 widetrack with 172 bits or a Mk2

 

[mwn11]

Mk2 is so much easier to just buy and use straight away.

​Not like theyre expensive either now.

Do you mean mk1/mk2 clio or do you mean ph1/ph2 172?

What car is it going onto?

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Mk1 valver vs Ph1 172. Both running the Ph1 setup

 

[Struggler]

mk2, shocks and springs rear suspension is better than torsion bar

and most mk1 shells need saving from rust! lol

mk1s look better though

 

[Chip-mk1]

As above the mk2 backend is better.
That said the mk1 is lighter and wins on looks.

Overall even as a mk1 fanboy I have to grudgingly admit the mk2 is the better car!
