Chasing the misfire So not had much joy curing this minor misfire. No codes stored on ecu and live data checks out ok. List of things done Coilpack, leads and plugs changed still the same Cam timing bang on - done it before with cam timing slightly out Lambdas swapped - both seem to check...

Notmal, lever the track control arm down with a bar. Might be worth slackening wishbone to subframe bolts, get wheels on and drop on the floor/retorque the bolts.

Its nasty stuff. I think they left the wheels in for a day or two by accident - far too long

As above Gary Spooner aka clio man is the best person to see he has built a few

I had this issue when doing mine with genuine tools. The pulley lock cog kept moving slightly when torquing the pulleys up. You need the nut on the tool/cog mega tight, i recall doing it up to 140nm and did not have an issue after that.

Sadly a few places will just powdercoat with any defects present, not bothered if they are receiving your dollar. I heard a tale where a set of astra vxr alloys were in the acid too long and went pourous not good

Most powdercoaters usually acid strip and shotblast. That will give you an idea of whats what usually before they coat. Ive had loads of sets of wheels done without issues, some in horrendous condition before refurb, it sounds like you were unlucky to be fair. The only wheels i would probably...

Das 6 pro. Good bit of kit

Can clip off ebay

Its infront of the alternator mate 10mm nut. Need to slacken off the 13mm nuts holding alternator to the bracket.

Check the crank pulley is not self destructing, The rubber in mine was shot. Also had the same issue when the pas pump was knackered, check all the rotating parts

Yep manual adjuster easy to do

I wasnt sure on that to be fair haha good point. I guess they are 172 or 172cup ? Its decent for under £800

Looks awesome always like the clio gen 1 cup cars. Just noticed the u clamps on the rear torsion bars and jubilee clips next to bushes on front what are they for ? Stop any possible side movement ?

Looks great, all the right options

A mate of mine has just bought a ph2 clio 172 ff cheap off ebay. Its stripped out, 2x buckets, not bad nick engine runs sweet, receipts for recent belts/dephaser, would clean up nice with a little bit of work. 138k on clock so its been about, any previous owners on here ? its got evidence of...

Rear suspension The rear shocks have been on the list for replacement for a while, due to them being original and circa 180k and quite soft. When i rebuilt the rear beam i noticed how similar they looked to to gtt/clio1 16v rear shocks. Bought a new pair of clio1 16v gaz rear adjustable...

Mine was doing the same recently misfire from cold for a couple of miles. Everything checked out ok on live data - swapped downstream & post cat lambda and runs fine again better idle etc. Still have an occasional hesitation when pulling away i think an injector is on its way out.

Factory xenons up front, i think they were something daft like £800 ontop. Its lux pack so decent spec, climate, pack p, xenons & keyless. The only option it did not have was panoramic roof thank god. Pic of it in the bodyshop recently, had a minor off at the nurburgring in it last year so...

Mrs has treated herself to a meg 250cup too so its acquired a friend on the drive. Next weekends job is to swap pre/post cat lambdas around to see if i can cure a misfire from cold/1500rpm stutter.

After a long winter and a fresh set of white wheels it highlighted the paint needed a bit of tlc on the Kangoo. First good day on a weekend so decided to crack on. The paint had gone very oxidised on the roof/sides as it had not been very well cared for in the past. The paint was also very...

Oem Renault part number 7700754338. I believe they are from a base spec clio. Ordered mine from RPD https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/renault-clio-range/hub-cap-clio-phase-2-7700754338/

Last time had it out the the garage. Not been used much over last couple of years sadly need to get it out this summer

Willy 7j steels would be great. I wish i had picked up a set years ago when they were cheap as chips.

Chop out and renew with a good used panel off a breaker or new panel if feeling flush

Doing the bushes/steering components on the mrs 225 at the moment as the originals are shot at 67k. Not a bad job to do everything has come undone with no hassle. Cleaned up thr track control arms just awaiting a coat of dexo gel and fresh paint.

Cheers all its great fun to drive Might go bucket seats and cage in the future. I had an ex mk2 cliocup omp Renaultsport seat recently which would have been good, sadly it was a skinny fit seat and i couldnt fit in it so had to go:disappointed: My 2nd choice of wheels was mk1 clio16v spare...

A few more from Croft last year on the cup turinis. Done 2x sets of pilotsport 3’s in over 2 trackdays so had to go for cheaper 15” rubber. Could do with some negtive camber up rear and better shocks on the back.

Handles great usual french 3 wheel action. A few pics from last years trackdays, cant wait to get it back out on track.

Same wheels as mine, Ill give that a go cheers. I can imagine they were black with brake dust after a trackday, mine were black after 400 or so miles on the road. First time i have had white wheels and trying to keep them in decent nick.
