Back in April, I ordered my manual mineral grey M2 (with most option boxes ticked). It arrived Friday afternoon. Only done around 200 miles but so far am very impressed, the exhaust sounds great for stock system too
A few pics, hopefully get some go pro footage in the week.
I noticed the other day a nasty noise from the engine, when you come off the throttle, and when revving the engine in neutral, or in gear when stationary. No warning lights on the dash and the engine pulls as normal. The car/ engine is on 157k.
Idle sounds normal too.
When given some revs :(...
As above. Had the Clio 172 on Surrey Rolling road, a few weeks ago. Charlie stopped after two runs saying it was running very lean! Shame as it made good power.
The 172 has a ITG Maxogen and PMS race exhaust system fitted, and is running a RS tuner 98 ron map. I have just had a new coilpack...
I currently run CL RC6 pads in my 172, I really like the brake pedal feel, and braking power, but would like to run a pad that is kinder to wheels/ bodywork.
How do the CL RC5, and Ferodo DS1.11 compare? Or the other alternative I have is run DS2500 daily and then run CL RC6 pads for track...
Just a few pics taken with my iPhone.

Just looking at going back to 4 pots on my 172, and have a couple of questions.
Has anyone fitted 2118 wheels over Brembo 4 pots? and if so how much did you have to machine off the calipers, and secondly do you need to run spacers to get the required space between wheel and caliper.
Thanks Fletch.
As above. I am in the process of removing the NS driveshaft so far I have.
Drained the gearbox
Removed wheel and 30mm hub nut
Removed the 3 13mm bolts that holding the gearbox seal.
What next? I couldn't find decent guide on here.
Cheers Fletch.
As above. I am trying to remove my discs, and cannot get these bolts to budge :(

I have undone the 12mm bolts at the back without any problems.
Cheers Fletch.

I am thinking of changing my current ktec stealth system for one of these

Are you happy with the system? And do you have any decent pics/ videos of said exhaust?
Cheers Fletch.
Following on from my project thread, some better pics

I am currently running a Cobra X-low (rep) subframe with with a Corbeau Revolution seat. The seat/ subframe is a bit low for my liking, and as a result my steering wheel is too high for me.
I had a OMP subframe before that was ok, but didn't sit level without spacers. Does anyone else make a...
The shed ticked over 140k the other day...

Does anyone have a custom cages roll cage fitted, or have dealt with the company?

Bad burning rubber smell opened up the bonnet to see the above.
It's due a aux/cambelt change anyway :dapprove:
Would a oil leak eventaully rot the belt?
Has anyone on here fitted the lightweight version?
http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/details.php?itemid=133
And is it worth the extra money over the cheaper kit?

Thanks Fletch.
I am thinking of fitting a set of Aerocatches to the 172. I am having problems with the standard bonnet ( it won't close property ATM) and I will eventaully have some ITBs fitted, so would need some aerocatches then.
Any advice of a decent guide would be great, cheers Fletch. :)
