Those are not a bad idea, have looked for those. Do you have any experience in there potential for development?
I have a fair bit of driving experience around here (nurburgring)
As for the development of a clio-there world is your oyster regarding tuning bits/suspension packages etc.
One word of warning regarding suspension changes, applys to any car being used around here.Make sure it all works properly, enough spring movement as the ring WILL catch out a car that , because of poor prep, does not have enough or binds up, there are too many instaces wherecars have pitched themselves intlo barriers through running out of travel.
The 175 RS, s we use sometimes are plenty fast enough to learn the circuit with (sub tens being fairly easy to achieve)
Once acquainted withthe circuit/
Car, then start thinking about upgrades.Buy the best you can afford, its always cheaper in the long run.
