Hi there, my Clio was not happy at Llandow today and after about 6 laps of Llandow it went into limp mode with error code P0130/P0136. (The 2002 clio 172 is decat) so I replaced the precat 02 sensor with the same symptoms but unable to undo the other sensor. I then reset it and it worked for...

I bought the car already fitted with DS1.11 and did 1 wet track day and following a brake inspection noticed the pad was cracked and crumbling despite being a relatively expensive high temperature resistant pad. Can anyone explain what causes this please?

Did the oz f1 sell?

Yes Louis that's the part, still not sure why it doesn't come with the new caliper

I urgently need a new rear caliper but Eurocarparts show there is a piece missing that goes over the pad. Mine has rusted beyond use. Is it normal for caliper to be piston only?

Thanks I took the chance and ordered a new speedo sensor. I strongly suspect the gearbox was changed by previous owner as it has a quaife fitted. As its unlikely the gearbox would have a sensor AND a cable have ordered the sensor and fingers crossed !

my point is that the fitter either removed a cable or a sensor, he is saying neither but the speedo worked. Unfortunately the parts are not arrived yet so cant see :(

I have just had my gearbox rebuilt from a 2002 172 cup non abs. The builder has noticed that the speedo cable is broken but the fitter is convinced he didn't remove a speedo cable. The speedo was working fine before the gearbox came off. As I have no abs - assume that the cable must have been...

Just saw this today, looks good!

Funny - I was looking at Eurospec today as they used to do the work on my Prelude. They are heavily focused on Jap cars but literally 10 minutes drive from me so will give them a call tomorrow. Ktec have a small delay on the Gen90 ECU's so not ideal either!

Any suggestions on who is able to map on Gen90 I feel a trailer hire coming on :)

Hi there - I have a Gen90 Ecu with Ktec rotrex kit being fitted to the car and wondered if anyone could advise where to take it locally to be mapped please? I have searched this forum only to be pointed to Mike Woodford who hasn't responded to any of my messages (maybe no longer doing it?). I...

I fitted a gripper diff to my Clio cup 172 and personally would advise chasing suspension/handling, brakes, tyres and tuition before touching power <---- Once that is sorted next step would be LSD <---- Once that sorted then go get some power. Occasionally a JMS RS2 inlet manifold comes up for...

I wont be queuing to buy AD08 that for sure although heard the AD08R better. Back to OP question - its your cash go for it. Make sure everything sorted first - LSD, suspension, brakes as the extra 100bhp is going to highlight any weaknesses quickly

Yes it is custom cages. Now feeling unsafe and paranoid. Thanks for heads up!

I had an instruction session yesterday and he advised a full roll cage. Are you suggesting a full roll cage would be safer?

Haven't been posting for a while but a number of updates on the car: New Odyssey battery, new track rod ends, 4 wheel laser alignment done, brake pads changed with EBC yellow. Went to Brands today and used their car scale (I am told these are very accurate): 837kg with half a tank of fuel...

I have paid thanks

Hi there I would be interested in this if it was possible to get a time slot (within 30 mins) as will have my little boy with me and he has a very short attention span. Do you think this is possible please?

Slapped a lot of Rain X on there and it seemed to do the job. The roof vent does a pretty good job of putting airflow into the car

After a gust of wind nearly blowing the doors off at Llandow and ripping the leather strap: It was time for something a bit more sturdy:

Just read through this entire thread and watched some of the video's. Very inspiring stuff and a good insight to racing a clio. Will keep an eye on this going forward

Not sure yet depends on weather as car has no heater system now

This is like a build thread that I should have started months ago :) Already sorted that bought these pro race 1.2's and put some rainsport3 wet tyres on there but will swap them over next year as didn't realise how much lighter they are than the speedlines

There was a few things to sort out, firstly was the new OEM VALEO clutch as its a track toy so don't need stronger clutch: Then it was time to box up the dirty old gearbox and send away to Competition transmission services for a rebuild and Gripper diff:

Probably about time to introduce myself to the clio community and update a little on the clio cup track car that was recently purchased for track use. Purchased a clio cup 172 from Pistonheads in October with this spec: Stone Automotive RS2 inlet manifold Blitz 80mm s/steel mesh filter Solid...

Hmmm reading guide and the headlight washers are not giving me a good feeling about this transaction.

I just bought this and still waiting for log book to arrive but have been told its not a cup version. Can anyone advise me how to tell please? [/URL][/IMG]
