It's all fun and games until Skynet launches the nukes.

I tried to search for how many are left on the road the other day, could only find 172 Cup numbers.

My Clio used to do this until I changed the clutch and my Golf does it on full boost because it's clutch is done.

You forget how good a non RS mk2 can look, proper blast from the past.

I don't even know what's wrong with it yet, could be a cheap fix, could be new engine time, all I know is it's tapperty, it missfires and cylinder 4 is significantly down on compression

If it's Anglesey I'll need one of my sh*t heaps working, always wanted to drive that track, I don't trust the Golf to make a single lap before something let's go and the Clio might have a stuck lifter, or valve, or f*cked piston ring, so it might need an engine rebuild. Shame you have to book...

I've been binging his vids all afternoon, strangely addictive.

We should do a Monday, no one does anything on a Monday.

You just don't want to drive far.

Looks like we'll being going down the CSF car meet route with a separate track day after all.

Llandow's shite, it's an oval with one chicane.

What about splitting it into two events? Normal CSF day like we used to have at Gaydon and Duxford and a separate track day at another venue on a different day, it's not ideal but it has the advantage of only having to organise the CSF day as a track day company can organise the other. Might...

£25 is fne i'll get them off ebay, I don't trust autodoc after reading a lot of people get sent they're own brand stuff rather than what they actually ordered.

Isn't that for one though? Edit : My bad, it says 4 in the description.

Ok nice one, looks like a full set for a 172 is basically a hundred quid whichever I buy, at least I have a couple of options, cheers lads.

How much were they and where did you get them from?

Everything on the Clio is new, it's a piece of piss to work on compared to the Golf.

Of course they're a hundred quid, f*cking cars!

So what size do I need and where do i buy them from? I couldn't find them on RPD.

I was under the impression Renault had stopped making that part?

Which HT leads should I buy for my 172? One of it's problems is an electrical fault causing it to cut out and arching HT leads are the most likely culprit, the fact that I can't remember them ever being changed or if they have I can't remember when, means they're due for a change anyway, they...

The wheels look like casters.

That would have sold in massive numbers over here, great looking hot hatch.

What a cool little car, I had no idea these existed.

That sounds like a vacuum leak, you sure you've plugged everything back in?

Where do you live? The members of this club are pretty sound, there may be someone local willing to lend you their throttle body and pedal for a day.

All ph2 172 and 182 TB's are the same. Ph1 TB's are drive by wire and all have cables, so they won't work.

You could clean it with WD40 and a toothbrush, the hinges on the butterfly valve collect crap especially if you have an oil impregnated air filter, but the cutting out issue sounds like a total signal loss, swap for a mates TB and see if that helps.

They do get gunked up with sh*t (engine temp may free it up a little) and they also wear out over time, a hell of a lot of my electrical issues went away when I swapped the throttle body over.
