Will be my first outing too in a Clio. Really looking forward to it. My big challenge is getting the car ready while we are preparing to move house. Time is not on my side currently. But I want to be there
Car is in for service etc next week. And I need to check brakes etc but will try to get there.....will be cars first outing so just need to be sure it will be ok.
BMW main dealer seem to make better quality plates than Halfords. They don't seem to delamination like Halfords plates. It is probably down to the operative.
As an update I got the Halford advanced one in small for the 172 and I would say it is a perfect fit..will update when we have had bad weather and report back
Thanks for the document....very useful and interesting....I would say the harnesses are not set up correctly/optimally so will get that sorted out very soon. Thanks for the advice.
Many thanks...the engine sounds very sweet but the cam belt was done around 8k mls ago and 5 years so will change everything so that I know it is all sorted from day 1.
OK. Many thanks for the feedback. I have around 3-4k in receipts for engine mods so it has had a fair amount of wire done. I will look into the bits you mentioned and see if I can find out more
I am going to do a few jobs but would welcome advise on other things to check or get done prior to first track day
remove clean check brakes pads and pistons, discs and replace brake fluid
oil and filter change
clean air filter
check strutts for leaks
get all wheels balanced
check and regap...
Today picked up my 172 cup. Will be using it for track days. It is already prepped for track days and is stripped out with quite a few things done already. So will see what else makes sense to do....but first will be a good service and going over before the first track day.
