That is f ing epic^^ Is it yours?

I thought the minor gearbox leak came as standard tbh. Fix it up and enjoy, just have patience :)

Trial fitted a cup spoiler, the colour is a bit off but the extra 20bhp feels great :D

If it looks like rain on the day and you're taking stuff with you, have something to keep it all dry while you're out on track. I've started using a 2 man tent to keep spare wheels and tools dry. If you're living the good life and have a garage booked, forget all of this 😊

Removed the passenger seat 👍

Cool! Looks like a fun track - too far away for me though :/

Sure the VRS is only 170 hp per tonne!? Looked to have the legs on the black clio and a few others, unless they were just slower drivers generally...

Welcome, car looks clean :) Also, I'm jealous of where you live.

Haha ok, i'll look into it :)

I guess you are talking about the end that meets the CAT? Is this just for ease of fitment/better join?

Ohh ok thats promising, thanks for the link. I saw the Kraken ones before but have no idea on quality. Magnaflow looks good!

Yep, off to ED for timing belt, cams and remap after :)

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...

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...

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

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...

What a difference from when you picked it up - lovely colour too.

I want a 940 turbo 😍

Great to see these being saved. If I had space id love to do the same.

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 :)

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...

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.

I was refering to the injector...honest :oops:

I used good ol spit, but I was stranded 200 miles from home 🤷‍♂️

Injector, same symptoms as mine, I've had two go so I've replaced them all now. £40ish quid on ECP, less with a weekend *% off offer ;)

Ok, I'm not wasting anymore of my lunch :P

🤷‍♂️:p

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

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).
