    Carbon Cannister Removal - Muppet Style!

    If the car is off the road whilst you are doing other things then Save weight and cut & plug the pipe close to the plenum/top part of inlet manifold & cut the pipe back towards the tank. Thats the best way. And why aren't you at the Briskoda meet at Castle Coombe in April? I'm there but...

    Carbon Cannister Removal - Muppet Style!

    The layout in Part 14 is exactly what you have on your car. If you follow the 2 black pipes from the Carbon Canister, you will see one go to the left hand side of the Plenum chamber (Which is the top part of the inlet manifold. The other goes under the car floorpan to the fuel tank. You can...

    Carbon Cannister Removal - Muppet Style!

    Easiest thing to do is cut the 2 pipes cleanly and join them together, the valve in the top of the cannister just pulls off, leave the 2 wires connected to valve and zip tie them to something solid, if you leave the wires undone you'll get the emmision light on.

    Problem Fitting Camber Bolts *HELP*

    Check on the Eibach site if you have the right ones.

    Clio Wheel Nuts

    Wheel nuts? Are you tourquing the bolts up properly? are they OE? This shouldn't happen on a car at all. The only time any of mine come loose is when on a trackday due to the bolts heating and cooling.

    clio 197 or clio 182?

    Why go from a 1*2 to a 197? The 200 cup is supposed to be even better.

    word of warning!

    So does that mean, Former Owner, you want to buy another Clio?

    Thinking of buying a ph1 172 for the track

    For a track car a PH1 172 or Ph2 172 or Cup will be good for a trackday motor, find one without aircon, healthy engine, gearbox and fix the other bits yourself. Plenty available.

    Trackday tyres Substitutes

    Thats a good price, I'll see if they are still available.

    Handling on springs, plus top mount question.

    The reason why many Cliosport members use Eibach springs is because they ARE good. When you take off the old oe ones you will see how cheaply made they are. I guess you have already noticed how hard and crashy the oe sprins are, new ones will be worse. Try the Eibach Prolines, they are good...

    Tilting rear wheel.

    I doubt if just looking under the car you will notice if anything is subtley bent.

    Brakes seem a bit weak

    You might just as well overhaul the whole braking system while your at it, new fluid pads & discs. Change the fluid as Clouder describes. It will be a day well spent.

    Tilting rear wheel.

    The spare wheel is probably buckled as well. If it was my car I'd be taking the rear beam off and renewing the whole lot, Cliospares would be helpful for you as new stuff will cost ££££££££'s.

    Trackday tyres Substitutes

    I only use the Trackday wheels and tyres on dry tracks and when wet have the road wheels on with Toyo T1r's. The car will possibly be going at the end of the year so hence the cheap alternative. I know the soft sidewall issue on tracks with cheaper tyres but I get on with ok. Thanks for...

    Tilting rear wheel.

    It's not technically difficult to change the rear beam, any mechanic can do it. The problem is how many parts will you have to change to straighten it. Unless you you can seen a bent part under the car it's trial and error, If the springs are not OE or damaged then I would change them 1st...
