    Fiesta ST MK8

    It'll still end up needing a new engine in 5 years.

    1.2 16v track car

    1) You can absolutely use it, I've seen DCi Dynamiques setting times around Snetterton on sprint days.... they weren't remotely close to winning anything, but I'd imagine it was enjoyable nonetheless. 2) You'll get almost precisely sod all return on putting any money into that engine. Seriously...

    Replacement sound system

    Wouldn't bother. Not unless you're going to add an amplifier for them as well. The stock units are fine once you cut bass to them (head unit settings) Adding "budget" speakers wont get you much further than what you've already got tbf. If you've got a dead cone then just swap out like-for-like.

    Stancing a clio. What size rims?

    OK, here's my sensible suggestion: Get your suspension first. Even if it's the cheapest, nastiest set of ADJUSTABLE coilovers, just get them on. THEN, and only then, start worrying about your wheels. You'll be able to borrow other size rims and tyres to test their fitment and there'll be a lot...

    Stancing a clio. What size rims?

    Given you only want to spend £500, you're wasting your time thinking about wheels to get, just them alone with tyres (yes, even doing-it-on-the-cheap, stretch-tyres) is going to blow your budget-hole wide open.

    Stancing a clio. What size rims?

    I don't think either of these are considerations.

    Stancing a clio. What size rims?

    Image 1 - Millionaires , engineers and playboys surrounding a developed racing car - Millions spent Image 2 - A selection of students staring at an old french hatchback with wheels that dont fit. - More spent on the wheels than the car

    Stancing a clio. What size rims?

    Stretch tyres purely shout "I'm a tightwad pikey who didn't want to stump up the extra fiver for tyres that actually fit, a man needs his vape juice"

    PS4 Memory Upgrade

    Easily done, yep. Skyrim, GT Sport, SF4 and Fallout 76 have taken up most of my drive.

    Stancing a clio. What size rims?

    Then you need a full set of adjustable coilover suspension, new wishbones and all sorts. And all to end up with a Clio that can't move along most roads.

    Pour concrete into the boot until the back is of the right height for you. And taxi fat-birds about on the regular

    Cheapest possible way will be to cut your springs to the desired length

    Are ride / handling even a slightest consideration in your plans, or is it purely just look?

    172cup vs 200cup

    And when a C6 Corvette does better MPG's than an S4, it starts to make an LS-powered freedom-machine better value than a 4-banger french hatch ?

    R27's in LY with all the carbon tupperware ?

    172cup vs 200cup

    No apology needed fella. This is it, people CAN, sometimes, do a better job than ABS. Just that in most instances, they can't. It's just the same willy-waving and "my sik modz" attitude that leaves cars shiny-side down in ditches every day.

    172cup vs 200cup

    This is a lovely utopian theory. Yes, when you're coming up on Paddock Hill bend, you'll be all set to feather and modulate your pedals just so, and chip away at that lap time. But in the 99% of your driving, when you're just thinking about what to get in for dinner, you're just ambling along...

    Did the Clios manage to have a green-flag lap 2 at any point last season? ?

    UK Clio Cup to end after 2019

    So long as there's a small hatchback class to be the demolition derby of BTCC, I don't care what brand name is glued to it.

    Replacement sound system

    Very true, but that;s a job for when you're pulling the doors apart to get new speakers in them really. Unless French build quality is really shining through and the doors sound like maracas, in which case, yeah, get it done.

    Golf GTI Brake Advice

    If the existing bits are "on their way out", then whatever you replace them with will feel 678659785% better. So, unless you're going to turn into a road/track/road warrior, a new set of standard discs, pads and fresh fluid will feel like a whole new world.

    £500 gaming pc.

    Overclockers wont pick up the phone until you're dropping a grand....typically for £700 of parts in an OC box. Best I can think of for 'roughly' your budget. It will just about hang on for new titles, provided the lad isn't expecting £2k gaming rig results. A follow-up would be to put a...
