Yeah mate that was me, didn't look to bad because you couldn't see the door that took a beating....oh and I jet washed the mud off so it wasn't obvious it had been dragged through a field.
Your Clio was looking sweet! What times did you get? I didn't see any of your runs.
The farmer said I was the 3rd Clio he's pulled out his field and there have been loads more cars.
Don't think it's a write off just need lots of new panels on the front.
I never went on the strip, saw the red turbo'd one doing a few runs and a 200.
Honestly don't know. Back end slid out coming round a corner and I ended up going through a fence and into a field. Nearly rolled it onto its roof but luckily it stayed on it's side.
Vts engine and high lift cams and stripped out, would of been a great wee thing if I ever got it mapped :(
Yeah you have to take crails times with a pich of salt. I've never been to a proper drag strip like the pod, wouldnt the proper tarmac help you get traction and a better time? supose...
It's £10 to get in then you go over to the portacabin timing hut thing and pay £15 to get on the strip and get a wrist band with a number. then you go over to que up and the guy writes the number of your band on the window.
I'll have to give this ago I think, which bolts need removed to take the cover thingy off?
This is really anoying! so far I can't find the leak and the closest specialist is rs tuning I think which is about 5hrs away. I don't want to go all that way for it to be a simple job.
Fred I thought...
Well I've had another look about and the oil is definitely coming from the timing belt side of the engine and not the back, oil is on the top of the alternator. If the oil is leaking from the cam seals or dephaser does that mean it's a timing belt off job?
How can I tell if it's the camseals or...
Hmm I did think it looked a bit messy I'll take another look but the engine oil level has dropped over a few months.
Yeah the belt was done not long after I got the car and it didn't leak before the belts were done. I (Paul at rs) noticed it was low as the oil light came on only a few weeks...
Noticed I've got an oil leak a few weeks ago and been keeping an eye on it. Got it up on axel stands yesterday and can't see where it's coming from!! It seems to be coming from the timing belt side of of the engine and either beside the timing belt or at the back of the block.
Any ideas where...
It's amazing what you can find on google!
Was looking at OBD II readers and this came up

Quite a decent piece of kit but $150 plus £30 for the software.
Will it give accurate readings?
2.5" exhaust system
2.5" de-cat
Pipercross Panel filter
Removed acoustic valve
Rs tuning remap
Using v-power
181.1bhp
on rs tunings rollers the most reliable of reliable of accurate of all rollers ever made ever or so I'm told.
Just thought I'd see if the owner is on here or anyone knows who's car it is.
Must be about 2 years ago now I was up at crail with my mate and wee saw a blue 172Cup with the turinis painted in the same blue as the car, I think it was doing 13s on the 1/4 mile. They guy that owned it chatted to...
