    Gen 2 cup car , purchase advise

    Yeah , this one is local to me, so no shipping and no import taxes. I believe it’s even registered as a road car.

    Gen 2 cup car , purchase advise

    that’s the same price that I’ve been offered this one for, which seemed to me very reasonable.

    Gen 2 cup car , purchase advise

    Yeah , all the cars at that event had the blood group displayed like that. I’m pretty sure in case they needed a transfusion , the windows would surely not be there anymore. I’m guessing the officials write down the information at every check point ?

    Gen 2 cup car , purchase advise

    Hi mates. I’ve been offered a clio mk2 cup car. This is not a street car conversion, but an actual cup car. The price is extremely reasonable too. I’m asking for some help here in regards of what I should be looking for in regards of car health or history. I have a few straight up...

    Tips to remove wiper arms?

    try a battery terminal remover. Its like a small pulley remover, goes for something like 3 quid and makes a hell of a difference.

    Driveshaft not engaging!?

    if both sides are on jackstands, then yes, both wheels should spin. If only the drivers side is not spinning, its not a knackered box, its a knachered driveshaft. Try the old driveshaft with the knackered boots. You may have bough an 1.* shaft by mistake which isnt the right lenght and it...

    anyone build a "RS2 style" inlet??

    Chip: I understand it is a great quality product, but the manifold is only available sencond hand nowadays! Also, I work in the automotive industry (not motorsports unfortunately), and you'd be surprised at how cheap things can be built. The rs2 inlet is a sort of artisan's work (labor is most...

    how exactly do the clio race cars put out 200 BHP?

    The diferential makes a difference on how the power reaches the wheels, but it doesnt play a role on the atcual power values. So what exactly is your airfilter and exhaust setup? and what power was your racer putting out before the mods??

    how exactly do the clio race cars put out 200 BHP?

    I figured the sequential box played a major role in how the car performed. Anyway, anyone ever put a race car on the rollers to se exactly how much power it put out?

    how exactly do the clio race cars put out 200 BHP?

    i meant, the race cars dont have itbs, turbos, or different cams. So how did they make the extra horses?

    how exactly do the clio race cars put out 200 BHP?

    I was wondering. Clio race cars (172/182) were supposed to put out 200 BHP with stock internals, correct? These were supposed to be the exact same internals of their current-day production cars. So.. why do we struggle so much to get that extra 30 bhp on a regular production car?? Im sure...

    Exhaust mounts - packing with glue

    I used some gray RTV on my rear mount. I figured silicone would be more flexible than urethane. I didnt remve the original "X" plastic thing, just emptied the whole RTV tube around it. I cleaned the mounth throughly before applying the silicone (dishwasher soap, carb cleaner, brush). It's been...

    Gearbox oil sensor

    The only thing this does is turn on your reverse lights (and read wiper during reverse). You can even just use a proper sized to blank it out (so it doesnt leak) while you get the sensor and you can still use the car.

    clacking sound when flooring it

    Ill be damned! As I started looking for the sound to record it, I ws greeted with a substantial oil pool near the dephaser solenoid. I took off the plenum, only to discover that the spark plug hole must have had around 15mm of oil in it. Took off the plug, and sure enough it was completely...

    clacking sound when flooring it

    2000 to 4000 revs in neutral, I dont get any weird sound. I mean, it purrsssss. I'll rev it to 7.5K without clatter.

    clacking sound when flooring it

    Well, it's not aux knocking. it sounds a lot like when a spark plug has worked itself loose and you hear that "clack clack clack" sound. Except it;s only under load. I checked the exhaust manifold for cracks but could not fin anything. Also, I figured as revs go up oil pressure does too, so...

    clacking sound when flooring it

    I have an awful clacking sound under acceleration, particulary when I floor it . The sound dissapears at around 4K revs. Odd thing is, I get this sound in 1st, second, and 3rd gear. So, after 2 hours of using the search button, I come to 2 possible conclusions: 1.- Dephaser.- I don't really...

    aux bearing in 172 drivers side drivehsaft

    Theres the CV joint boot, which is there alright. Then there's another smaller boot in what appears to be a metal can--that's the boot I'm missing. It's completely gone.

    aux bearing in 172 drivers side drivehsaft

    Is it safe to drive while I get the new driveshaft shipped in, or should I just carpool with the missus?

    aux bearing in 172 drivers side drivehsaft

    I recently jacked up my car, only to discover that the rubber boot that covers the aux bearing is missing. What the heck is that bearing for anyway? Can it be replaced, or is it new driveshaft time?

    2k rmp idle, revs jumping up and down, SERV+ESP+PREHEATER lights on----FIXED!!

    ok, just wanted to let you guys know. I had this issue with my clio where the revs would would be jumping from 1k to 2k constantly. The car would sometimes stick to 2k rpm on idle. Now and then, it would pop the pp120 MIL code and go into limp mode and emissions light would come on. The fault...
