Might be right what the guys are saying about temperatures, when we arrived i did my first run within 20 minutes, i just looked at my timing slips, my first run although still piss poor was a 16.3 every other run throughout the day with a cold engine was 16.6 and when i went last year my best...
Yeah matt the vids are working :)
I'm now thinking i should have removed the 15 kilos of bass box in the boot ;)
For anyone looking at this and wanting to come along next time i'll arranging another one in a couple of months after i have had my remap done so make you sure you are on the west...
Brilliant mate :)
Lol at that golf gti, he was so far ahead of me that he wasn't even in shot :o
Shame about that wind though, it's not normally that bad mate, come back with me after i've had the remap in October and it should be better.........no chance of the hayfever then either ;)
Thanks...
Brilliant cheers Matt, i'll have a look :)
Thanks for today mate, it was a really good day, good fun and good racing too.........i might even be more competition for you next time ;)
It's fine Laura, thanks for letting us know beforehand, a lot of people might just have not shown and not said anything :)
Though i can only imagine the scene of you trying to text me at 2:45am after being out at a Hen night ;)
I can't see straight at that time without alcohol :)
Just got back from York, It was a really good day with the exception of a couple of things, matt's hayfever was really bad, felt so sorry for him :(.....well i kind of feel sorry him as he still managed to kick my arse up and down the dragstrip :rasp:
I'll post up times later in the media...
Ha ha i bet your neighbours love you mate :)......can't wait to see yours going down the dragstrip, last time i went i was the only clio there!
Oh and i now have my designated cameraman in luke......payment for taking him over :)
Right car is all sorted now, two new sensors and some fully synthetic oil so it feels like it's back up to full power now.........that would be about 170 bhp in a 182 then ;)
My mate Luke will be in with me tomorrow so don't think i just picked up any old hitch hiker................glad he's...
The Lambda sensors are vital as i have just found out, it won't show up as an error if it's just become old and sluggish or contaminated, the ecu will just make changes to fueling to compensate for what it thinks is a correct reading given by the Lambda, i took mine out two days ago to check...
Tomorrow mate, it's a real pain to plug the front electrical connection up as i can hardly get my hand in there but i bought some ramps tonight so that should make it easier to get access under the car, it's definately worth checking the sensors though, i was really shocked by the change in...
Nice one, i decided to leave mine in so i can see if there is a difference in times between now and last year when i went, see if changing this sensor helped, just bought two new ones today........£185 :eek:
Want to try and get an oil change done tomorrow too as it's running with 10w-40 instead...
Just a few details for this should anyone else be interested before sunday :)
Matt and i will be meeting at the macdonalds car park just in the entrance to the showcase cinema, birstall, batley at 9am sunday morning, postcode WF17 9TB
Then we will be leaving there and heading to bilbrough top...
Please can everyone remember that the colton meet will be at the mcdonalds car park :)................sounds obvious i know but i have made the mistake before and waited in the wrong car park :o
this is the postcode.....LS15 9JH
I'll second what Tom just said, i saw the RS Tuning clio last saturday and i could live with that day to day as it's been really well done inside. take a look for yourself........
I do love my 182 though, creature comforts :)

Just wondering if there is a difference in quality as i went to get a new one today but was offered a choice between bosch and NGK, i just had a bad experience with using bosch spark plugs and they made my 182 very poorly :(........but i don't know if one of these makes is better than the other...
Pmsl..........i'm with you on that then Mike, defeats the object of eating fish n chips if you're just going to walk it straight off again :rasp:
Good work with the planning too, i'm up for everything you suggested :)
