Kinda used to it matey, drive it everywhere, no trailer queen here. But I'm starting to feel mid 30's after 3 hours in it.... Lol

Cheers all, yep it's driving better than ever now and looking forward to Cadwell next month to really test her out @Daz... 860kg with half a tank in it and on the track wheels

Took a trip over the pennines today to visit @bloke to get the 197 cams timed in then straight over to see Chris at EFi for the whole setup to be mapped. Cold and foggy trip in a car with no..... well no anything really. But the result was a surprise to say the least. Thanks again to both...

Welcome

No worries @scalino65 that's not Google weights either that's me weighing bare wheels I own, rounded to nearest kg but deviation of 100g max

All road cars are 16" on the cup Williams wheels weigh 7kg, super and ultra legs are 5kg each. Pro race 1.2 are 6kg. Bit of lowering and 15" can look mint, weigh less and cheaper tyres

This not finished yet, come on chop chop ?

not in the same way @White16valver, they may have some form of idel control from road speed sensor but its not on the cable like a mk1 as trhey don't have cable speedo if its doing it before driving that's not the fault anway I would simply say, if the throttle cable hasn't been changed...

Bin the side exit, must be loud as hell that and probably doing the engine no favours in terms of powaaah,lol. I'd look at lowering it a bit next maybe. Great to see a mk1 still in daily use however, fair play

Mega motors, I've dailied my 182 for 6.5 years now and although I've had a saab aero for few months during that and keep looking again at them, I intend to see the clio past 200k before I retire it. About another 10 months to go to hit that mark

Picked up the track wheels from the powdercoaters today, slicks are in the shed ready to be fitted so all coming together for Cadwell park on the 17/3 Can't fault city wheels in Birmingham either, 20 quid a wheel is a bargain. Not immaculate, but by God they're ideal for the price point

I have absolutely no love for mk3 onwards clios really, but there is something about a 200 in alien that just floats my boat, such a lovely combination and keeping it standard ish from an engine pov, cracking. Top work

Lovely as ever Mr S, when is it I can expect to drop the odyssey with you for similar treatment?

I'm not looking forward to the cold tbh, bear in mind I'm driving the car there and back too and its completely stripped, no heater matrix or fans or anything so could be...….interesting

Nice, I'm off to see Chris in a couple of weeks for a map, if it's doesn't snow me off the journey, lol

Early are single later are twin

Totally, use what ever word makes you happy, but to me any crimson car is just an old person bus ?

Most itb cars have issues with induction noise over exhaust tbh so for me worry about the mapping at static test unloaded rpm. Drive by only issue places are donington and Bedford and Bedford is crap anyway. Live at Cadwell which is the place for an n/a clio you'll have no issues

Sorry forgot to reply Awful, simply awful idea, I'd just give up now ;-)

Zero interest in any phase 2 172 from me, not a cup, not a flamer or Monaco, none of them really do anything for me, they were just a warm up for the 182 when the styling got slightly better and colours waaaaaay better. Plus flamer is like naples..... Old man red innit

This thread has been a year right? I've read first two and last one with data logging and thinking for a cut out issue this is crazy amounts of diagnosis over a long time. Has anyone suggested actual fuel quality issues? Apologies if mentioned already, but one of my old 172's (phase 1 admittedly...

Jumping out the 182 and into this is night and very blue day, lol

I don't agree, they're very blue in person too tbh

I just love the look of the phase 1 and the interior is perfect imo, just the right amount of strange French design and odd retro colour choice, groovy

I'd swap to phase 1 in a heart beat

Yep, was on rollers back end of last year and made 170bhp

@hipwell yes it's a replica one

Happy 190th (k) birthday ? Warts and all showing, not all these old girls can be show Queens so thought I'd go candid and no washing for months just to show that pictures can hide the blemishes. As such no post processing and no filters, just a study of an old motor still in daily use in the...

Happy 190th (k) birthday ? Warts and all showing, not all these old girls can be show Queens so thought I'd go candid and #nofilter and no washing for months just to show that pictures can hide the blemishes. Cheers Ben

Doesn't look like any of the main ones, maybe a powerflow
