4. Dare I say TRD weld in roll cage? I think I just did.


I registered just to make these comments
Whoa, thanks for your amazing contribution.

Yup. And Even if it did, it certainly wouldn't mean that it would use the same ratios.

I think we'll just need to fit better trackpads and maybe braided lines and high performance oil, the usual stuff.

One of the good thing of a light, not too powerful car is that it's light on brakes and tyres.
The Clio 3 RS with the same power and weight has the Brembo as standard by the way, so do other cars like the Cooper S JCW, the Grande Punto Abarth Essesse...
The stock "junior" Brembo 4 pots are becoming very popular and inexpensive.
Well not all of us have that luxury. That being said, can you stroll up and get factory discount prices on discs and Calipers?
