I'm not sure that's the right car for you, have you considered a pack of fruit pastilles instead?

Looking good Rich

You should have one, it's just in a different place. i fitted a 172 inlet on my 182 Trophy when I changed the engine, you just need to reroute the pipe.

Does sound odd, fingers crossed it's something simple that's just a little loose and you can rectify while under there with the spanners tomorrow. i had no drama of that type when I fitted my AST's.

You won't need to take the wheels off to check, just take the bolt and centre cap off and have a look in the hole. you may even be able to use a a thin screwdriver and gently break out what's inside and then blow it out, then gently wind the bolt back in again.

I really can't imagine they are hitting the brake discs as you wind them in, they are probably bottoming out in the hole. iirc it's only a M8 bolt/thread anyhow.

An injector failed on Chip last year en route to the ring, luckily Porkie was leaving a day later and took a spare along. i now keep a complete spare fuel rail aswell as coil pack and many other spares, they always get loaded in the car when going on a trackday, for what space they take up it's...

If only ;)

Or do as I do, drive down in a comfy car with the fully stripped clio on the trailer behind you ;)

I wouldn't waste money on a rear strut brace, it will make little or no difference in the slightest on the clio. as above, make sure everything is in good workibg order before wasting money on little bolt on bits. the clio with standard decent suspension is good anyhow.

Cheers chap, I'm going 422's on the new engine anyhow ;) when do you realistically think you will be selling, is it worth asking this to PM's?

MG cup, Morgan can you keep me in the loop as you decide what you are doing please buddy. could possibly even hatch a deal to secure them for when you are ready to part with it all ;)

Oooh yes ;) Is yours caged? ;) :p

There is a place near me that does these that you can buy individually or as many as you wish, and probably half of that price Fletcher. its litterally at the end of the road from where i store my Trophy, so I'll happily dive in there and grab as many as you wish and pop them in the post to you...

I run a 4.7 V8 aswell, shockingly bad around town or to/from work, but on the motorway plodding along nicely at 70 is gives a decent mid 20's mpg return.

I could jump on this bandwagon aswell ;)

Wouldn't mind knowing the best place to grab them to accompany my 422's.

Re: Fitted solid dogbone mount, EML comes on after car is left idling for 10 minutes? By the sounds of things your misfire has already been present in the past, which means the fault was already with you, just that on this occasion it was more severe. its just a coincidence im sure, unless you...

Cheers Mark I think I've got the pistons under control at the mo, high comp with suitable cut outs and H section rods to compliment aswell. i feel I'm pretty much set on the 422's, it's just working out in my mind wether to delete the VVT and the costs involved to suit.

I tried to read through that yesterday but couldn't access some of the info.

Dan, would you say the springs are a necessity with the 422 cams? standard lifters still acceptable or would these benefit from being upgraded aswell?

Short and sweet Dan. any more info on them, do they need anything else to run... ie solid lifters, decent valve cut outs etc

Hopefully a different camshaft question... i know there are the usual 421's, 428's and 438's etc, along with some now using the 197 profiles, but is there anything out there a bit more lairy, namely for a high compression engine that's purely for track use? im happy to consider solid lifters if...

That looks long enough to get two clio's on.

Search for the bolt spacing to find out.

An off the shelf tyre that's good for road use aswell, or a dedicated track tyre for those conditions? RainSport 2's seem to get good reviews to cover road and wet track days. if for wet days only, invest in a set of dedicated track day wets.

I think that as mine is only ever going to be used when I'm wearing a crash helmet, I'll take my chances and hopefully not let it bother me :)

Ditto to that :)

They won't offer a retest when it's already passed, it was only an advisory by the sounds of things.

I've got a ph1 boss on my Trophy, fitted a treat.
