I am just not had chance to properly drive it as needs a mot. Itching to get a ticket on it and give it a real test. Still running a small hybrid, room for something with more flow in the future :)

Car back from the tuners :smile: just mot to get and ready for some fun.

Thanks mate, the starter looks original. Seems like the solenoid is sticking, but can't see the wiring very well. Need to get some bits stripped off to take a better look at it.

Funny you say that. I gave the starter solenoid a friendly tap yesterday and it's started on the button since. No oem clutch in the car and it's slipping so looks like it's a new clutch and starter.

Possible didn't think of that as it's been pretty good. Stuck the trickle charger on it a few times over the winter and always had plenty of charge. Thanks mate

Checked the earthing strap and all looks OK Not the crank sensor mate, crank angle. Read and found out first hand they can cause issues. Started finw this morning. Ran it for ten minutes and knocked it off. Went to start it again and nothing.

Thanks mate I will have a look :up:

Hi all, My 172 has developed a starting issue over the last few days. At a guess its the starter that's shot but wanted to see if there is anything else to test for. I have replaced the crank angle sensor as this clogged before and caused the same problem. Bit of a pain as the car is a daily...

That is local, don't blame you bud I wouldn't go to a dealer. Would get ripped off, wouldn't want to take a modified evo back to dealer lol

I will update on the spiralling costs from track use lol.. Need a dry sump to run slicks due to the cornering force and having oil starvation issues. Not surprised at that..not that there are that many ralliart dealers who can do it. Personally if I was doing that sort of miles I would do it...

Haha, certainly popular. Depends, I do all the fluid changes myself but get the belts done properly by a local tuner. All below if the car is used on the road, gets much shorter if tracked Engine oil,oem filter is about £60 from opie. Normally deals on fuchs lol. Plugs - £10 Aye bleed every...

Keeping the miles down on the clio. Join the club ;) clio/evo owners club haha.

They are starting to become a classic ;-) Every 4k is right, I don't do the mileage so it's much less for change for me.

Thanks bud.. As a weekend toy they aren't to bad. Wouldn't want to use is every day, as they get through fuel and need a regular service. What really costs is once you start modding them.

Thanks for the comments. Few more pics ;-) Engine before going in for some more work

Haha yes another one.. Nope had it a few years bud. One of my mates sold his yellow evo on eBay about a month ago.

Yes good spot:cool: evo x ones..

Thanks bud, it's getting there ;) The colour has grown on me. They are turinis :)

Thought I would put something up as seen a number of evo related threads on here and mine has been an on going project. Clio gets used as the daily hack and is probably due some tlc. I have had the evo for a number of years bad the odd modification over my ownership as bought as a standard car...

Mlr is a bit hit and miss, evolution page on Facebook isn't bad.. Definitely want to get the rust sorted first, known of later cars rot under the fuel tank (filler pipe is common). What clutch are you going to fit? Ross sport/ owens hybrid turbo would be worth a look. They make great power on...

Looks very clean, only thing to note with all evos is their ability to rot if not looked after. Thay and take every penny. Will get some good torque on a stroker motor. Be spoilt for choice on the turbo front budget depending lol

Plenty to go on with bud, re shell job is a list on its own. Got a list for the evo so could do with not much on the Clio lol.

Haha I'm sure there lol. Got some jobs to do as well?

Would be up for a meet, got to get the clutch done on the Clio first ;)

Just down the road from me. Good news on the curcuit of Wales getting the final go ahead.

Awesome motor bud!! Looks really clean

:up: Welcome along bud

Welcome along bud

Sounds tidy been well looked after :) Seen plenty of well rotted evos, never helps that many imports seem to miss getting proper under seal applied.

Very nice looking 6 that bud. Clean underneath? Got to get them off the road for the winter :wink: salt is a killer!
