Hi all,
ive just bought my first clio williams- number 140, with the intention of doing a full nut and bolt restoration, then keeping her as a fair weather/ show toy.
The questions i have are as follows:
suspension- im pretty keen on keeping the car stock but i do want the car to be useable on track days and for 'spirited' driving on dry days.
what are peoples experiences with regards suspension- standard versus top adjustables versus coilovers. I dont want the car to be much lower than stock- if at all.
also, bushes- polybush or standard- which is best?
engine- the engine and box are being fully rebuilt- are there any sensible internal mods you guys would reccomend or just keep it stock?
finally- it currently has a huge bean can as an exhaust and its a bit loud for my tastes- does the stock system still carry a sporty tone or would you guys have another reccomendation?
thanks in advance
