ah rite, nice one, in that case - mite have to get your expert opinion at some point lol, it's got misfire at idle. renault brislington couldnt find anything....
you work at sj cooks??
another animal related tip, never stuck for a duck crossing a country lane, when your mate is giving it the beans behind you.....
bad luck mate, hope your both back on form again soon.
same story as with all silver 172/182's the arches being plastic take a different colour when sprayed to the doors. all the same.
be a nice a project, is a tidy lookin car. keep us updated mate
yeh i knew you were going to say that!! i definatley gettin another one, jst gotta wait till i get a bit of spare chnage for one. dont fancy the cf ones.
haha first spot and it was you. didnt see you mate sorry.
um, better than it was but renault couldnt find it last time i had it in with them, said there were no fault codes or anything. gona try the other one at brislington this time see if they can sort it.
you see the wheels?
my 172s got a misfire at idle, never really noticed till had it mapped on sat, but its there. doesnt mis throughout the rev's just on idle. anyone else had this and know what caused it? got it in for a mot next week and gona get it checked out then, just wondering if its something i can sort...
its got a brand new itg in there, and a samco elbow since you had it. never mind. has got a misfire at idle now though, which paul thought could be an injector? in for an MOT next wk anyway, so will get it checked out.
yeh i'm about at the wk end, saturday be better i think but i;l give you a...
haha i went for the cheaper option then!
before it made 158 and after was 163. bit different to the results you got last time but obviously different r/r's etc etc
massive difference driving it though and a nice big lump of torque at about 3k (11 ft/lb...) thats pretty noticeable. now pulls...
as above its not about the gains. i got about 4.5/5 bhp increase on mine, not a massive one, but is so much better to drive. cold running judder has gone now aswell.
just missed one over on renaultsport. finished at end of august. not sure when there'l be another one need to speak to Paul.
i had mine done yesterday though as part of the group buy, and was worth getting done.
i got a really dark anthracite turini's on mine, with matching bullets. looks good imo. but as said not much choice and both have been done alot on here. doesnt bother me though as i not seen anyone in person with same combination. would only be at meets etc.

i'd agree with the bottom line, performance is pretty even. reliability on the clio varies i think, mine used to be a bit of a garage regular before i bought it but since i did, feb this yr, its not been toooooooo bad with only wear an tear items needing attention. other than a coil pack.
i didnt mean that to read like i didnt want him representing our area, i dont care who does, but just thought a rep should know better. anyway thread should be closed as its no longer relevant.
and i agree to the letting our hair down, i do its just to what extent its acceptable.
