That's my next move as it's the last cost free step before any parts are ordered. Fingers crossed. Cheers

Evening all, Very common code I know but after trawling threads it normally seems to be associated with cars which are running rough caused by a bad injector/coil pack/leads or plugs. In this case the car was running very well, left standing a bit too long over Christmas and now just turns over...

Cheers

Afternoon all, Quick question, do I need to remove the air box to get to the crank sensor? Cheers

If you go down the powerflex route, go for the purple series as they are covered against failure.

A before and after printout from the dyno.. Red is group N with standard CAT and accoustic valve detached. It made 182 bhp and 165 ft/lb. Black is adjusted map with decat, blanked acoustic valve and fog lightCAF making 188bhp and 171 ft/lb. Couldn’t resist an engine bay shot of Chris’s 5 turbo...

Managed to get over to EFI to get my map cleaned up after leaving the acoustic pipe off. I added a decat in the meantime and was pleased with the adjustments/result.. Bhp and torque up and the curve is much smoother now. Chris suspect’s my CAT was a bit clogged. That’s it for the engine as it...

They are standard bolts. I’ve not gone back to do them as I lost interest/forgot. I’ll try again when I put camber bolts in. Cheers

Very true mate. What’s an email. I’ll get one over and post the response. Cheers

Pointless really mate, black series bushes are not covered by the warranty. I’ll either get purple next time or stick with black which are an improved version.

After getting the inner roll bar bushes changed to cure a knock underneath the car I was disappointed to discover it was still there. Turns out it is the wishbone bushes. 3 year old black series bushes had failed. I’ve posted elsewhere on the forum about this and now I know the lifetime warranty...

Small update from this weekend. Finally got round to headlight restoration. Went for the meguires kit based on reviews/price... Before... After.... Took a bit of effort but happy with the results.

HOLY s**t.... Looks like it was built by a team of 8 year olds after a week in Ibiza.

I bet mine were old stock with no washers. Live and learn I suppose. Cheers

I’ll be having a look as I haven’t made a move with the mechanic yet but I’m pretty sure he fitted them correctly.

Correct

Wow. You can’t say fairer than that and I was already preparing my email to powerflex until I got to the second to last paragraph which excludes any part labelled ‘BLK” :LOL: gutted.

That’s what’s guiding me toward the purple bushes. I’ve tried these and I’m not particularly impressed so I’ll try the purple. Cheers

One of the few items I haven’t replaced. Cheers.

That’s a fair point, but I was sort of thinking they were a fit and forget type of part. If that’s the case though I’m thinking maybe I will put the purple road series in? Surely there life expectancy will be high but when you start throwing Trackdays in its another can of worms.

I’ll drop them an email. You never know, even after all this time is still not really good enough. Cheers

Solid nylon? Any more details on those mate? Cheers

Is it me or do you think 3 years is a long enough service life for an “up rated” bush? I bet the OEM bushes on the car when I bought it lasted 3 times longer than that.

Afternoon all, I’ve just had my second failed black series bush on the 182. First was the inner roll bar bush, now a wishbone bush. Both were black series, and both failed in 3 years. Granted the car is driven hard and it’s done 10 Trackdays and around 8 thousand miles. I don’t feel like I’ve...

Reading that lot you’d be better off eating the fukin thing;)

Sorry mate, I don’t know anything about mk3 Clio’s. Still working the mk2’s out:LOL:

I took a ride in a members car last year, it was a 172 showing over 270k on the clock. Pulled like a train. He’s a very good mechanic but if you know a very good mechanic there’s no reason you can’t do the same.

Correct (y)

Could be wrong but it looks like it’s had a new grill, don’t think the stickers are correct but that could have been swapped for cosmetic reasons rather than crash damage. If it’s been for sale forever there could be a deal on. Worth a look IMO of course.

What an awesome spectacle. Rally driving at that level truly is an art form. Such a shame accidents like that were allowed to happen.
