fit 172 injectors and get a map at efi parts (y)

great bit of kit, very dangerous if you get it wrong though. id be tempted to swap just the tcu to start with on your original box, rather than going mad with the whole hog. Reno link will allow you to recalibrate it. Really no need if you cant feel or see the clutch slip (if it was even there...

the check antipollution error is related to so many things. Did you get a proper in depth diagnosis before hand? also the diag can tell you the thickness of your current clutch disks. Thickness is also only part of the issue, if one is contaminated it can also slip but still be full thickness...

I will try, barrels have been heavily coated in ceramic wax to try and keep them that colour.

i see it, fiesta on compomotives?

So I did a thing, well a few things tbh. As the discs were showing wear I opted to get myself some directional Alpine/Renaultsport bi material discs. They can sit there for a while, will prob slap them on before the track day in March. I also decided to try some new wheels. Id been playing...

I think its a failure on the pcb itself, the gears are very robust, and don't have any resistance. Also the gears that do the shifting in the box have very little too when you move them by hand. I think there maybe multiple failure modes, the capacitor swap didn't work for me but has for others...

Got some new pressed ali plates for the 8, the old ones were a bit faded and battered. New ones are thinner and flimsier than the originals but they will do (y) Need some brighter/warmer morning so I can use it for the commute. In other news ive had notification of postage of the custom gaz...

The daily driver keeps on plodding, just realised id have owned it 3 years this year (come July so still half a year off), and for me, that's a very long time. Decided to get the wheel off and check over the suspension. Have had an occasional, very slight sound of a failed top mount bearing...

After seeing the real Gordini measurements for the stripes I got annoyed with my work. Its now redone to spec (y) also received my springs and ball joints from meca parts France, so now just waiting on the shocks. On a side note I cancelled my order for over fenders and am now trying to order...

Went to take the car out to caffeine and machine today, and it let me down..... my fault it seems. One of the wires snapped off from the crank sensor plug, my poor workmanship in the past coming back to haunt me . Luckily the wife was driving the support Clio with the kids in, I had the laptop...

defo, going to ring around and see what i need to save up for a custom cage in there, if its still a little pricey there is an off the shelf OMP available

Been putting some limiter bashing miles on the car over the last few days. Been a blast, the car gets loads of love from others on the road and I think it actually shocks them (plus me and the wife) at how well it gets up and goes! once it gets on cam It'll shoot up and clip the limiter in 3rd...
