Took the earth lead off, cleaned the connections and put it back on again. Bloody french electrics!

Put my winter wheels and tyres on.

Just put my winter wheels and tyres on hence why they're the cleanest bit of the car!

Also fitted new front brembo hc discs and brembo pads.. can't go wrong for less than £62 delivered! Whilst I was swapping these I found one of the caliper slider bolts was seized so sorted that out too. Was perfect length imo (that's what she said!) I'm guessing those people didn't realise you...

A check should be half hour labour plus £12ish for the cam end cap things

What kind of horror stories? Only thing "wrong" with it is that the holes are a bit big so had to use some washers. I'd like to do a track a track day or two but wouldn't know where to start and knowing my car it'd cost a few hundred notes in repairs every time

Get the timing checked. Wouldn't have thought a lazy lambda would have such a significant impact on performance tbh

Dropped it (well actually took it off) I don't think you'd be able to do it by just pulling the engine forward tbh. Link pipe fits perfect tbh can't fault it. Had to do the job as my btb exhaust is phase 2 length and didn't really fit properly.

No s**t! I have no skin left on my back!!

Oh and fitted an uprated dog bone mount. Don't like it, might swap it back

Over the last few days I've done: 182 exhaust manifold conversion with ktr link pipe. New exhaust manifold gasket New cat to manifold gasket New cat to centre section gasket Yanoo stiff shift (got my ph1 gear knob off without scratching it :D) New inner anti roll bar bushes (pita of a...

I'm the same in my ph1! My 182FF on standard (new) suspension was quite easy though. I just put it down to the better suspension and ad08rs on my ph1

Ive only ever seen one other phase 1 on the roads around me but theyre definitely not rare yet! Loads on here and they can be had for very cheap. The numbers will start to dwindle when the non hardcore enthusiasts scrap them when they need a repair or some maintenance which is equal to or...

Me too. (Though only slightly more than the 11 year bump) Like a few on here I own both an m3 and a 1*2 and there's no way my ph1 is anywhere close to the m3 in straight line speed. And my m3 is a vert so has ~150kg of excess weight!

You've clearly not met him lol

Of course. My mates 182 can't keep up with it! (Which apparently has 6bhp and 6 torques more);)

Yeah was the lowest powered Clio on the day LOL

Did you flash on the a610? If so that was me.. Was on the way back from the RR day

Ah right, my lambda sensor, plugs and oil filter are new. I can't see it being anything other than fuelling. Might take the map off and take it back

What I mean is mine was also rich and also has rs tuner map. Did anyone else have on and also have a rich reading?

Yours also has an rs tuner map...?

It was on vpower you hater :p

Neh I don't think it is! Just was surrounded by 182s on the day and everyone knows they've got ten more ;) think the rs tuner map is doing it no favours as its quite rich

1) Chrisgti6 - Clio 197 - 181.0bhp unsure on torque 2) James23 - 172 phase 1 - 167.0bhp 146 lb/ft torque. Someone asked me if my timing was out :(

Changed my accelerator cable so I no longer have to blip the throttle when coming off the power and no longer have to press it quite hard to apply revs to pull off. It's taking some getting used to as it had been like that for at least 6 months! Looking at receipts I got with the car it had...

Look like 9" wide borbet a to me

Ok thanks for that, looks like I'll be looking for a ph1 engine loom then! They are yes, it seems intermittent whether it gets power or not - sometimes the car misses (only on unleaded) and sometimes not. But tbh they've done such a s**t job of the wiring I think I'm better starting again with...

Changed injector 3 again, didn't fix it.. I'm thinking its the wiring so I need a new injector loom. Anyone know if just the injector loom can be changed or if its part of the whole engine loom?

So much want for a black ph1!!
