So new bump stops, strut tops, arb bushes, bottom ball joint and front discs and pads on the Clio.

Much much better and more more rubbing on heavy compressions.

I also have drilled discs now so can look cool at the Tescos meet up point.

More more or less less rubbing on compressions

Does sound a lot of fun this 172

Less rubbing, the old bump stops had been cut down, ok on the old tyres but PS5s have a very square profile and they caught quite a bit.

It's proving a great second car, the wife enjoys it and regularly drives it quite hard, the engine has some character and it's great on fuel just cruising along. The yearly running costs are less than the difference in fuel if we used the ML so it's cheap motoring.

It does make you drive like an 18 year old at times which is good fun. Born slippy and a tracksuit top essential.
