    Manifold, exhaust, cat decision/advice

    Ok will do (y) Oh, was there any reason you suggested an evo sports cat or could you use any? I guess one with the same diameter pipe and a similar size overall would be a start?

    Yeah I'm looking forward to the benefits of the 182 mani but not f**king around with the subframe tbh.:ROFLMAO:Think ill just do a load of stuff over one weekend, wishbones, track rod ends, ARB bushes etc and mani all at once. I'll try and remember to let you know when I have the 172 cat for...

    Manifold, exhaust, cat decision/advice

    I see there's one on ebay for £500 :eek:£££ So this cat below is obviously going to be pretty poor quality at £70 but I could have it modified to fit the 172 cat back which would cost less than a k-tec sports cat..? Looks like either way im getting a 182 mani on then...

    Manifold, exhaust, cat decision/advice

    Im guessing the mod is to make it line up with the 172 cat back? Lamba's are different too right?

    Manifold, exhaust, cat decision/advice

    Hi guys, This has probably been done to death already but Id like some advice & opinions on what I should do in my situation (I'll try and keep if brief). Clio 172 - 90% track use. Needs to pass MOT and track noise limits. K-tec unsilenced cat back fitted. Cambelt will be due in a few months...

    Lightweight track car

    I'm tracking my non cup 172 purely because I grew attached to it and didn't want to sell it :cry: I think the only annoying difference is having to remove the aircon. If you have the option buy a cup, if not then expect a bit more work :)

    What do people spend on their cars ?

    Well before it became a track car project 12months was usually; £300 insurance, £250ish tax, £80 service (by me), £100-200 on random repairs/faults. So about £800. Not including new tyres or brakes in that because I had the same set on for about 3 years! And the £500 cambelt hit every 4-5 years...

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare

    Nothing like getting home after a long day and finding a 10GB update. Now I have to wait an hour or so before I can get annoyed and rage quit.

    Misfiring

    Electrics Temperamental- Lights flickering

    Sounds like a dodgy earth point but others will have to advise on which ones to check.

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    Did you have all the driving aids on and were you on full throttle? Bit scared this could happen to me (400hp 570nm, winter etc).

    Clio 172 cup advice

    Id just see how it goes then, maybe a nice service with new plugs if they haven't been done for a while. (y)

    Clio 172 cup advice

    I had a similar running problem to you and after scanning for fault codes (and finding one) I replaced the injector and it sorted it. If you haven't already I would scan for fault codes and go from there.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Oil change, fitted K-tec exhaust, new smaller front plate, quick wash :)

    Hessitation when accelerating

    If new plugs, leads and coil pack doesn't fix it then an injector might be the cause. I had a similar issue and it was an injector. Try and get a fault code reader on it. (Ideally before buying new leads and coilpack :P )

    Clio sport 172 original front shocks

    I fitted new 172 dampers recently and they didn't come back out after pushing them in. I think it's normal.

    Headlamp washer jets not working

    I wish I had a better memory because I had a problem with mine not working and failing an MOT 2 years ago. I THINK they have a separate pump to the windscreen washers so it could be that. I believe it sprays the headlights separately so left then right and the valve/actuator had failed on mine...

    Oil Changes at home - pumping out via the dipstick...

    Sounds like a way of making a very easy job much more annoying for no reason? The sup plugs seem pretty robust. The gearbox oil is difficult enough lol.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Yeah, I think I'm going to be contacting Mark Fish for alignment/suspension setup soon ish so I'll have them look at the lights/fault codes then. Today - Carbon canister and acoustic valve removed, made a bracket to move one of the horns out the way to fit cooling ducts.

    Ace Cafe - 16th September 2019

    This pretty much sums up my experience of a BMW night I went to a while ago (not with my car). Interested to see what a clio/renault night would be like. My boss said the Porsche ones are pretty civilised.
