Sound. Can't see why they'd say no to the afternoon, its Javelin again and they seemed ok about it for Elvington.
Crank sensor by the looks of things. He's going to get a new coil pack too just to be safe.
My neighbour has just bought a 172cup.
Drove OK on the test drive until he was on is way home and it was misfiring.
Under the plenum one of the spark plugs wasn't in tight and the plug lead had popped off and was completely knackered.
He's bought brand new leads from renault and the car is...
Looking like Monday mate.
Just waiting on another friend who has just bought a paxo off ebay and going to collect it on Sunday. If the car is a winner, then I'll book it for all.
Len fixed the clio and has now spent a small fortune on upgrades, can't wait to see it running rings around me next...
I've got a Vts as a track weapon dude and funnily enough I ran rings around e36 238's on first track day!
Super little car, not sure about it as a daily, but so cheap for parts and there's not much in them to go wrong!
Just read through all that in my dinner. Started off on a proper high, I've always had a soft spot for S2's despite my old man constantly telling me they're sh*t.
And it just got worse and worse.
Gutted.
What now?
I'm looking (with Len_beach) at doing Blyton Park in June. We need a good 4 weeks after Elvington to save up...
I'm on holiday for half of June anyway, but the following dates are what I could find:
Monday 4th June : Open Pit Lane : £129
Saturday 16th June : Open Pit Lane : £99
The Monday is a...
I know, I heard ya first time and was genuinely going to do as you suggested. Just ran out of time before its first event. But it'll be back for the next outing.
Will do a write up in a bit - plenty of things happened including a Porsche that spun and hit a fence on its first lap :S - how can...
No probs boss. A couple turned up at dinner and we had a mate come along to assist (even my old man turned up).
No need for jealousy my old fruit. I hear you're hunting for another RB. Now that is enviable - RB > BG.
Found this on a search....
ClioSport.Net: change of box. now engine wont spark? (by shepperdspie)

Clio 2's go crazy when the battery has gone flat. The ECU seems to loose the imob code. The imob light stays solid and the starter cranks...
Coils, idle and tdc replacement. Can all be had for £30 - £40 on here maximum.
Gotta be one of those. If it doesn't start today, will bring mine over and we can test some sensors?
I'm delighted to announce that the little saxo was on form. To, on and from the track it was flawless. It is also suprisingly easy to drive and very planted. The non-performance brakes could only cope with 7 or 8 lap stints at full tilt, but nothing much more to complain about.
A quick pic...
Lolz. Yes still got it, but I'll be in the track car. A two tone grey saxo Vts. Len will be in my old silver clio from the Whitby meet - albeit without turini's.
I'll keep my eye out.
The car is now ready - after this update :)
I've been working a bit on it each night after work.
First up where new NON-performance discs and pads on the front. Matt complained the pedal was hard and he was right, although this appears to be a standard trait of the saxo's, I saw that the discs...
Not sure chief. Len booked it and has informed me to be there at 9 for the briefing :S
Would have thought it would be 12, but you could turn up anytime?
I know bud, I was just going to leave the pipe exposed. Those breathers are a load of sh*t really, but for £3.99.....
Matt has just text after finding the locking key - socket saved. Yaye.
Forgot to add...
- Checked coolant level. I had topped it up and after a bit of running around today it has remained at the same point. Win.
- Checked zorst. Thought it was knocking, but it isn't. Seems to be hung pretty well, rubbers have not perished. Win.
- Removed spare wheel. Totally...
