As in cuts out? Could be the idle valve sticking, so I'd start by removing and cleaning that. It sits on the back of the inlet manifold near the throttle body
Awesome day at Cadwell Thursday, car was faultless all day and track dried out by around 11am so semi slicks were a go!
Have right giggle playing about with mate Dan in his 172 cup, wasn't much in it really despite him having fancier suspension and a few more track orientated mods.
Overall...
Got the passenger frame into the car after a bit of a faff......as in broken stud on the inner rail where it bolts under the car in the exhaust tunnel. s**t design that, and I'd copper greased it and still snapped. Thankfully just scavenged the runner off the original seats and sorted.

Cars back at home now, been a while since I updated but latest mod installed today, well one of the two anyway

- 172 Cup gearbox with Gripper diff
Anglesey booked in June currently as the first one but may do...
Tried them all, for a daily best are sportline imo. H&R close second but just a tad too crashy and I'm happier with the car more compliant for the amount of miles I do over sitting a bit better to look at
everyone ignores them as they're not a Clio engine, which is what this question was about....same as the Spyder too which you failed to note....amateur
Mixed day, car was faultless for the first 3 hours or so, then developed a misfire that I still can't actually pin down, it was that bad that on way home could only muster 45mph heading up the slip road onto the M1 until I once again turned it off and on again..... And since then it's been...
