Its the OP's car

Its 72k miles or 5 years mate. Its people who think "oh its only done 3000 miles, it'll be fine" They're ignorant to the fact that rubber perishes over time

No?

Its your dephaser mate. Luckily for you diamond motors is on your doorstep. £5-600

You could always try loosening the top mount, pulling the engine as far forward as possible, and tighten it up again. That fixed the issue on my old 172

Yeah I know it's boosted, but I didn't know the science behind why you'd maybe go for a heavier item :)

After reading through @SharkyUK project thread, he's used a heavier than normal flywheel so maybe he can offer some advice as there must be a reason he has gone that route?

Not for me mate

Gutted. I was off today and if I'd of known this was on then I would of popped across :(

You've trapped a lead between the upper manifold and the cam cover. Or you've left off one of the vacuum hoses

Annnnd I've made a mess! That integrale is just stunning. Perfect. Immense. Beautiful.

I rekkon its camber. Car lowered, negative camber induced as a result. Can still make the wheels point forward fine. The more -camber then the less the contact point on the road surface, meaning less resistance hence feeling loose? Theory sounds right in my head anyway :)

Camber?

Yeah I'd be up for that, Dave :) must make more of an effort to chat to you this year aswell. Only said hello in passing last time Who's the most mental person on track here? They need to take Jackie out and scare the s**t out of her :) haha

Well the Mrs has been using it as a daily for the past two months so I've lost all interest in general maintenance lol! Plus if I break it, she'll be fucked for getting work :(

Think I'll be giving track time a miss this year. I can't be arsed spending the money on my car to get it upto standard. I'll be begging passenger laps though :)

f**k off, that took me 20 minutes!!

Ryan, I think buying this would be no slick manoeuvre. The damage already done could put you onto a slippery slope, hold out and you could slide into a much better buy. Don't Fuch yourself over by purchasing an engine that could be damaged beyond repair.

It is. I go across country via chesterfield in the morning, then M1 A50 on the way home. Last one tomorrow though.

Doncaster deaf trust opposite the racecourse. No mate, travelling for 3 days. Right w**k drive :(

Working up in Doncaster so I was travelling home that way. As to if she was fit.... I would....

Drove past you about 4ish ealrier. Cliosport sticker on back window

Could it be tyre related? When I bought my MPS I was convinced one of the rear wheel bearings had gone. I put up with it at the time, then just before I went over to the 'ring I had new tyres fitted. Noise gone! Sounded just like a bearing!

On a cup? Thought that was phase1 only?

Yup, I can't wait :)

Has some JDM fanboi spunked all over the seats? How do people get the seats so dirty in these??

With minty mint standard wheels that'd look perfect. When I had my CTR I missed my Clio. Now I'm 4 years older with another Clio, I seem to want another CTR :(

171.6

Those "reactions" glasses are one of my pet hates. Just makes whoever is wearing them look a bit....dirty. Like they need a good wash. Car is still good though. Can't beat the noise of a VW 6pot

Very nice mate!
