The old man has a Avantime on his fleet to float about in occasionally. It has a re-occuring issue where by once it's hot / up to temp, it starts misfiring and cutting out. It then won't run or start properly until it's cooled to virtually 'left overnight' kind of temperatures. Now, this...

My favourite clio. Officially. 2 things: 1. how do you get your wheels to sit like that? Spacers? 2. No Xenons? :)

Alex, do you usually cut through Bierton / Broughton? I see a blue cup, and a really low silver 182 most days on the way up to MK.

O2 Sensor is my guess. Disconnecting will reset ECU, but the light might come on in 5 minutes, or 5 months. If it's persistent get the code read.

Yeah I hate that. :p

I was in the blue/brown 172 cup. Was in a hurry so wasn't hanging about.

Yeah get a booster. I can sometimes want to throw my LE32 out the window at how slowly it runs the EPG though!

Policy holder is usually the main driver. But balls to 3800 to insure a clio. Buy a car worth 750-1000 and run around in that and build up some NCB.

This. I'm 25, and adding my Mrs saves me £250.

Take the under tray off, it's in front of the gearbox ish. It's easy to spot.

I'll get a shot of the dog-bone tonight when it's in the air again. Looking at the new one, the shape/frame looks to be all ok. Might be weak and perished rubber I suppose. And as J says, it doesn't look to be seated correctly at the bottom.

How broken is this front engine mount? It looks to be under a little stress due to the distortion of the rubber. It would also appear to be the original 104,000 mile old mount. This is the only mount I've not changed, I've poly'd the dogbone, and I'm still getting the exhaust clatter under...

Pah, amateurs.

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession Were your symptoms a really long, really rubbish, pedal feel that only really did anything near the bottom. And, even then, a pedal like wood?

Out. Standing. I'd have that over the bloated GTS anyday. And, E92's on TE37's is just awesome.

Download them through a torrent / rs feed, then use your serial if you actually paid for them in the first place? Or, download the trials that presumably can be converted if you still have the serials. http://www.steinberg.net/en/support/downloads.html http://www.propellerheads.se/download/

I did exactly the same thing with the horrid blue trim in my cup, lol. O/T but why do some cups not have the splitter? 8ish years of abuse and renault quality or were they optional?

Re: would never buy a clio again :( It's all about fun/£. RenaultSport Clios win against almost everything else for this.

My MY09 MBP is actually amazing in build quality. A truck hit it the toolbox it was on top of, it hit the tarmac and hasn't a scratch. This is the advert for getting a 'pro' - metal casing etc.

Couple from the last petrol station meet I went to, lol. :)

It totally depends on how they're driven, I covered 30,000 miles in mine. I bought it on 50,000. Not one crunch or delay in the syncro. But then I always give a blip / heel n toe. The guy that bought it, on the test drive, goes from 2nd to 3rd in vtec and crunches on his first 'quick' shift.

EP3 gearbox is AWSOME. The rate at which it change swap cogs at the engine speeds it can achieve, nothing short of brilliant. They all sound like a bag of nails under 2krpm mind you.

Having owned an ep3 and currently, the 172 cup - this. There is nothing in it. Clio is a little more agile, Civic has better high speed stability. Independent rear suspension and longer wheel base ftw.

On a 172 Cup can it change dependent on fuel quality, presumably going on knock sensors etc? Ran mine on some 102 that needed using and the light wasn't coming on. Standard shift for me is 6800 or thereabouts.

I'd give a google for Composition and the rule of 3rds next. :) It's not always about the car, but the chap driving it.

It'll be an OBD0 era 150bhp lump. :) Can the DTA deal with VTEC engagement etc? With B16 on ITB's it's all in the map, I knew of one a few years back that went from 178bhp on standard inlet to about 150bhp on ITBs. lol.

As found in UK VTI Civic's and VTEC CRX's 89-91 :) What management you using? (Sorry if it's been said, I only scanned for the pics!)

This looks amazing! Looks more like a B16A1 from the EF/EE Civic/CRX from the 80's going by the rocker cover though. Must just have a different cover on it though.
