I assume a V5 would be more than enough for a Clio.

Anyone tried fitting on of the smaller Vortech's?

Slicks will put extra stress on the car as mentioned, though unless the water is standing on the track you should be ok if it rains. I've done many many laps in the wet with them on the M3.

It will be cheaper to run a cooling duct to the brakes than change the wheels, unless this is a little man maths justification. I did this to another car of mine thats quite heavy and it made a noticable difference.

This could well be the case from the cars past.

Thats what I thought, I believe its on its way out though hence the question. Anything but putting your foot in th carpet it has hesitation/ suttering, and is getting slowly worse. Now i've been chasing my tail with this car with various issues since I picked it up. The coil pack/ HT leads/...

Hi, Am i right in thinking that the 172 ph2 fuel pump/ filter (in tank) is one unit as opposed to the ph1 with the external filter? If so, or not the case, what is the reliability of the pumps in general? The car has 67k '02. Again price wise to replace, is it worth a direct replacement...

Cheers, seems the dog bone bush is shot. The exhaust hangers don't look in great shape either and will need doing soon.

When coming off the accelerator? It's only just started on the way home, also the suspension seems amiss and 'floaty'. Could this be an engine mount? Cheers

Thanks for the replies, i'll have a look when I have moment. Thanks again

Hi, Yes it was all tested for leaks.

Hi, Had the system recharged and when the AC is on now it only pushes out hot air, any ideas? For reference the system was completely empty as a hose was split when I bought it, so have no idea what it was like previously. regards

And to throw a spanner into the works, I believe the term Full Fat has come from the Range Rover fraternity?

Some tracks/ organisers will insist on a cage if running slicks, so be aware. We had this issue arise a few years ago with the M3 track car that was taken too the track half way through being converted. And like others have said, bushes take a lot more abuse.

Nice, where in Mexico? I'm near Matamoros at the moment.
