I wish i knew what had caused it but at that point i had just had enough of the car and amount of money it was taking off me. I kept thinking if it was rings why was it intermittent like in this case. Mine was definatly breathing heavy with all that oil in the inlet which would suggest it was...

I was going to suggest this, ive had the exact same symptoms as you smoking heavily then nothing at all. Mine happened after driving very hard, smoke filled the road behind me i could not see a thing! Pulled over and turned it off, pulled the airbox lid off and there was oil inside it which had...

Was a great day, sun burnt pretty bad!! Couple of mine And some others frome the day

I sprayed mine 1st with heat resistant paint then wrapped it, the spray kinda makes the wrapping a little easier as when its shiney the wrap i found kept slipping round when i was pulling it tight, looking into the cpe front panel soon too to help feed some cool air over it

It can be very fiddly, i suppose you're way would work too just alot of weight to move into place, just some ppl try and bolt it up under stress say if they remove the manifold and refit without loosening the support bracket

Its been perfect believe it or not, its been on now for 2yrs, been driven hard with plenty boost through it and its not cracked yet touch wood! I won mine for about £150 ....... i think i know it was pretty cheap, i think as long as the manifold is bolted to the head 1st, then turbo to manifold...

Good work again matey, where did you get the alignment pins from? Been after a set of these as i need to get my subframe off

Yeh you say that lol, sh!t myself! everything runs through you're mind when something like that happens. Yeh keep us posted on how the temos are in may. How much did the oil cooler set up set you back if you dont mind me asking?

Yeh quite high 411bhp and 485nm torque, gave it a little bit of spin on the way to the line then it broke as soon as i launched it, its not fun being pushed back down the strip!! quite interested in what you have done for the oil and coolant temps, mine was seeing 120c for the coolant on the...

Love you're updates always interesting with loads of pics! Not driven mine since october!! Managed to snap a drive shaft in half at santapod, its coming back on the road end of march start of spril so plenty time to fix yet. Really missing driving it

Check the EGR pipe at the back of the engine they was very common for crackin and causing sh!tty blow, ive changed a few of these when i use to work at lexus few years back

Ive never been to the ring but someone has commented that there should be no overtaking on the right, is this right? In the vid he over takes someone on the right entering a corner just as they are about to turn in!! If the guy he overtakes does not realise hes there or doesnt expect him to over...

These really need to be in here

Ive got launch control and flat shift on it now so its pretty damn noisey lol! And ive changed the exhaust as when i came off track at ford fair the paint on the back bumper was being ruined so i imagine it was throwing flames out lol. Ive had a complete new system with custom angled tailpipe...

Jesus christ, cant believe it!! Feel for you muka! Where was it taken from? Been ok thanks matey, maybe going to pod on sunday for gymkhana depending on the weather, not sure if i will be running it down there though. Its the last outing before its put away for winter.

What??? Am i reading that right....... your 172 been stolen??

Great engine these, was a feature in either fast ford or performance ford of 1 of the 1.0 eco boost was running 200bhp

Do you have a silver 182? Have you changed your name on here or is it me being a dafty?

Im suprised ive not seen this either, i dont seem to see many rs clios knocking around now, still look out for them even though i no longer drive 1. I use to see davo172 quite often but not seen him for ages either. What sort of power is it running? It looks quite a weapon!

Yeh i ran it standard and it was slower than my 172, think i ran a 14.8 or something. Focus is 411bhp, struggled with grip pretty bad spun all through 1st and 2nd even trying to balance the throttle. Sticky tyres i think it will do low 12s. What sort of power is your clio running? Must be some...

14.5 @ 95mph in clio 172 15.3 @ 92mph in clio 197 12.9 @ 115mph in focus RS mk1 In comparison to the 197 i hit 91mph in 8.6 seconds lol

If you do go for normal tyres you will need an inflation kit and a foam kit or a sparewheel or you will get caught out with something simple as a puncture. Ive seen this happen a thousand times at my dealer because of the very same reason people dodging runflat expenses

Had these on my 172 coilovers, had them on all through the winter and when i took them off almost a year later they still looked like new, helps stop any issues with adjusting rings becoming siezed

Im out too its RS central on the 19th at santapod totally forgot its that weekend

The MD at our bmw dealership has just had the akrapovic back box upgrade put on his M4 ............£2500 ........ for a back box! Carbon tips was £250 each! But tbf the noise is like nothing else!

Ive been saying celica wrong for years

Are you going to be running yourself? How is the clio?

Haha might try and get him to start the stag do at shaky raceway! Hes rolling in an rx7, but chances are he will be probably smashed out his tree by 12 oclock lol
