lol snob

this may sound odd, but have a look at the carbon canister solenoid under the drivers headlight, we had a few which made a ticking noise which increased with revs and sounded very much like the tappets, you could clearly hear it when you are sat in the car without radio etc on

@ stevieh, thats not a bad price for turbo conversion, is that a low pressure conversion then(std internals) ??

for me personally i live on the edge of the town boundarys, ie if i turn right onto the DC theres lots of fields and small country roads, if i turn left theres just housing estates etc right until you hit town centre, so a mix for me tbh

yes and as a road car a standard 172/182 is more then fast enough, with so many variable road conditions and risks of being banned or having a accident i dont see the point in spending a fortune on them to make them faster, no one is saying you cant have fun in a clio on the road at all as...

def agree that spending on mods is nearly always a loss, but then most of us have these cars as hobbies etc as such, so obviously generally we say sod it why not, could be wasting it on some other s**t or just pissing it up a wall and having only a hangover and shoes covered in piss n sick to...

for me personally i prefer to mess about with my trackcar(mk1 16v clio), ok it may not be the fastest or best handling car in the world but its alot of fun even if modified, i started out with it standard but got bored eventually and started messing lol but i get the chance to push it hard on...

thorpe marsh and then the renault training centre id say!

yeah the black r26 was certainly motoring all day, the white evo 10 and nissan gtr were also flying about all afternoon! was good to watch them sliding around the chicane before druids!

the dephaser on the K4M engine was really bad, that was a everyday job, but i think we only ever changed a couple of F4R dephasers, usually down noisey operation.

cool, i remember seeing you both out on track, think either i had just came out or was just going in most times though! was only my 2nd time at oulton and first time i had no issues there lol either broke down before i got there or like the 1st time there misfires galore(old engine/car set-up...

as above, saw 2x ph1 172s(silver and red) aswell as a trophy and a few clio cup race cars. anyone off here?? i was there in the black/orange mk1 hybrid, struggled with grip all morning it was greasy as!, was alot better when it started throwing it down later on!!
