My mates had 17's on it.
He said it handled a bbit shit with them on. He took them off after the drive home and put on some 15's. Said it was a lot better.
Still hit a tree though.......
I think his was about 150BHP. Had headwork and exhaust, some other bits.

yep 138 brake standard, good handling cars as said the g/box will smash and electrics are suspect. I'd have one for the right money if ti was clean

I think youd be right but it would be close id imagine and dependant on the driver who knows

Wrong VTS is slower, a standard clio vs Shitron Clio should win.
But all depends on the driver and condition of car really.
I've had my clio for 5 years and it's been good to me.. apart from the 3 g/box's i 've had but that goes with my driving....
