Hiyas Part number for Clio 1*2 throttle body is 8200110998 or 8200110994, which is also the part number for the Twingo 133 throttle body. From pics they look identical. I am right in thinking they are the same part yeah? Just wanting to confirm before I go ahead and order one that is listed...

I did about 4 trackdays on my PS3's but recently bought a set of ADO8Rs - lowered my PB at the track I go to by almost 2 secs after that :) More grip, stiffer sidewalls - will take the abuse on track far better than the PS3s could so I would definitely recommend them for track work. I also use...

Right - a bit of background. Currently running Sportlines/Konis/Compbrake topmounts with Turinis/205/45/16's and am keen to raise the front of the car up a bit - say 10mm or so. The reasons I am keen to do this are: I currently get a little bit of rubbing on the liner near the front bumper...

Ok cheers mate - thanks for the info :)

Yeah interested to know what bearing it was that needed to be replaced Terrydb

Uprated one.

I would've thought RSTuner would be a better option?

I had just one leg of the battery tray snap (the one closest to the firewall) while the other 4(?) bolts were fine and the car felt terrible - sluggish and noisier than normal with LOTS of vibration in the cabin at idle and when under load. TBH I think that you definitely need that one fixed to...

Couldn't find anything specific on the yokohama.co.uk website but on yokohama.com.au they say 'Set ADVAN Neovas up like race tyres so that your hot pressures, when you come off the track are between 32 and 36 psi.' Just got a set on my 172 and will use this as a starting point when I take them...

Good to hear! :)

Ok just throwing this out there - perhaps the knocking started due to the old mounts being worn, but when the new engine mounts were put in the engine was aligned/moved slightly over to the drivers side which reduced the room for the driveshaft to operate in and thus continued knocking? If this...

So around the time your engine mounts were done?

Is your car lowered?

Might just need the engine shifted over a bit then to give a bit more room - easy to do and if that is the problem then should solve it. Let us know how you go.

Knocking on hard left cornering? Try loosening off the engine mounts and moving the engine over towards the passenger side before then tightening up the mounts again. If the knocking is because the cv is bottoming out on the drivers side driveshaft then this should give you more room for the...

Good to hear :)

Definitely not a Monaro - has too many doors... ;)

Yeah are they genuine driveshafts? If genuine driveshafts I wouldn't have thought that at 20mm lower you would have too much trouble, and if you did just loosening off the mounts and pushing the motor over a bit to give more room should solve it. Uprated mounts (Ktec/Vibratechnics) - or new...

100mm! Blimey that's a lot of lows. The theory about the driveshaft being too long is kind of true - however it's not too long just you've lowered the car so much that it is binding or bottoming out as mark123 describes it. You could try loosening off the engine mounts and moving the engine...

Yeah they build them strong and it looks like they have to be. Great racing - shame the cars are as ugly as f*ck though...

Well out here we've got the Big Pineapple, the Big Prawn, the Big Banana et al... now we've got the Big Pothole too. :D

Yeah from that pic it looks like you could run different caster setups?

Also looks like something like that would also allow you to have higher mounting points for the front wishbones and correct any rollcentre issues you may have running lowered suspension...

I don't do a huge amount of highway driving but when I have I've been very glad I fitted cruise control in my 172 :)

As I understand it the reprog licence would only work once, and is then linked to the rstuner box you used it on. Yes that's how I understood it as well - the reprog licence doesn't lock the rstuner from the previous licence holder, just unlocks the rstuner so a second user can use it on their...

Was your cc retrofitted Dan? Shame that he couldn't/wouldn't help you out then but it is definitely solved now... That makes things a bit complicated - iirc you'll need to borrow someone's rstuner + buy an reprog licence (58EUR) at the very least to even remove it. If you want to keep rstuner...

Would be worth emailing Henk @ fastchip. I know that retro-fitted cruise control was giving some problems on earlier maps, but he was able to sort a fix for it.

I doubt that tbh - there are better setups for high speed racing as it were. Just look at what the Clio Cup guys ran. Looks good in the engine bay, sound is a little bit better than a standard airbox/panel filter - just doesn't lend itself to bottom end torque IME...

My 172 had a BMC CDA on it when I bought it but it always felt like it fell into a huge torque hole at lower revs - a right pain in the arse for city traffic. I decided to try a standard airbox/panel filter and the change was very noticeable - felt like it had a LOT more torque and was much more...

TBH you will be better off with a panel filter in your standard airbox...
