    ESP ECU into non-ESP Clio 172

    Somebody might have programmed it out on the uch. Does the airbag light come on with ign ?

    ESP ECU into non-ESP Clio 172

    Yes mate i have clip. Central locking should fire up straight away wonder if uch is damaged ? I had one that said boot was always open..i think somebody had swapped immobiliser chip to a mis matched uch.

    ESP ECU into non-ESP Clio 172

    It will fire up and run if you fit the Uch/Ecu pack and matched key from the breaker. You will need to reprogram the uch with clip if any unwanted lights appear on the dash. I imagine the asr warning light will be on and the serv light. The ecu in front of the handbrake is for airbags. Keep...

    What are the best performance mods?

    First one probably didnt have ported head not many people spend the dollar getting it done. Get a health check done on current one, compression test and serviced/belts changed if not done. If belts have been done and depending whos fitted the bits might need the timing checked - as when out it...

    Racing blue 182

    I bet its quite hard to correct oversteer without any pas. Does your epas feel a bit numb ? My dci has a dead spot. Ill prob go epas on mine for ease, would really like to do a hybrid hpas with electric pump as the oem hpas feels great to me.

    Racing blue 182

    Looks great on the black 2118s. Im in the same situation with the hpas on my kangoo, the pipework is about shot so need to sort it asap. Cant decide whether to fit epas or go for a hybrid hpas with electric pump a bit like the cup racers. Its awful with no pas from the tow or 3 its had lol

    £25 Mintex Race Pads (M1177)

    I see these were in the Clio cup gen2 parts manual. Any good for track use ?

    Performance Ignition leads

    Save your money mate they do nothing to increase performance. A new set of oem Renault leads will last miles longer. I binned a set of magnecor, fitted crap and causing random misfire. They have always been a let down no matter what car ive tried them on

    Took it out Sunday and give it a fair bit of abuse and seems ok. Guess we are ready for another trackday if weather stays mild !

    Alternatives to PS3

    Stick to the PS3's. Yes they are not as good as ps4 but the best road tyre available in the correct size of 16". Not really suited to track use but the XL sidewall are decent.

    Job done and running again. Only done a short run in it to the gym the other night but it seemed ok. Will take it for a decent flog out soon and see how it holds together ! Needs a clean badly front wheels are black with brake dust after Croft. In other news i give my omp helmet a makeover...

    Renfort diff plate

    Job done. Bolts are countersunk M5x0.8 and 20mm long. Not the worst job to do, hopefully permanent fix. Quite a bit of endfloat in the diff, spacer shim is fitted and same thickness as the snapped one. I checked a spare low mileage jb3 and it appears to have the same large endfloat so assuming...

    Rear shock bolt into hub? Where I get a new one.

    That should drill out a doddle with good drill bits. Cutting fluid and patience required, dont bother with the easi out shite, when they snap your in a whole world of pain.

    Plate fitted & bolts threadlocked. Fingers crossed this does the business ! Going to give the threadlock 24hrs then fill it up with gear oil.

    Brigsy's other cars - formerly kangoo 172 cup

    Drilled & tapped the diff in situ for the renfort plate today. Not too bad a job with the small sealey drill i borrowed, new drill bit went through it like a knife going through butter. Had rags stuffed in the box to keep the swarf from falling in and will flush oil through. Will fit plate...

    Abs and ESP lights

    Prob worth scanning it with clip and see what codes are stored. Will give you an idea where the fault is.

    Up in the air yesterday & stripped That will be the issue then broken spacer Got my battery drill out and no chance of fitting it in the gap available. Have borrowed a small drill will revisit later on in the week weather permitting.

    182 crank seal oil leak

    Ive noticed a weep from most f4r crank seals clio or meg and at low mileage. Does the crank wear bad on these and can you get away with moving the crank seal slightly to accomodate for wear ? Ive not had the pleasure of doing a crank seal yet but looks like oem tool is needed to save damaging it...

    Abs and ESP lights

    Steering angle on squib might need resetting. Oem wheel or aftermarket? Check it has the notches on the wheel/boss that turn the squib.

    172 ecu

    You can lose the uch on ph1 setup no bother, however if you want the obd port may need it unless you can wire it up on its own.

    mk1 engine conversion

    I think you might need to get the immobiliser done on ph1 ecu but not 100%, somebody will be able to advise. Apart from that fairly easy to wire up, seen a few r5gtts fitted with ph1 setup.

    mk1 engine conversion

    Standalone ecu will be grand or ph1 172 ecu and wiring loom for simple wire up. On both setups you will need ph1 cable throttle setup.

    Potential turbo failure

    Ive had a garrett fail with a pop and f**k loads of smoke back in the day, exhaust impellor sheared off on full boost. I still cant believe most of the clio turbo kits run ching spec cheapo turbos on them. Bang a garrett on and enjoy reliable boosting (well reliable turbo anyway ?)
