No but I'm fairly sure that wasn't a genuine one either

Keith and Jurgie @ APR really know there stuff!!!

It was a eurocarparts facet one as it died totally on my way into work one day and I needed to get it fixed to get myself home. I ll get a genuine one ordered on Monday.

It already had the correct blue plug on the crank sensor so was just plug and play. Wasn't massively expensive so I'm happy to try another one on there

Already had both of those changed. Should there be a heat shield above the exhaust manifold?

I have a 02 plate 172, if I sit in traffic for 15 - 20 mins on my way to work the engine will sometimes just cut out dead and has done it a few times recently while just driving along. Tachometer drops to nothing even if the cars traveling at speed in gear then It will not re start for 10 - 15...

What tyres do you need paul?? I can get Dunlop 18 x 9.5 slicks really cheap!! its Andy Peck BTW!!

We have an old engine from work up for sale on the bay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170726402196 nice cheap dry sump kit going for somebody!!!!

Developed a massive miss fire so I did a compression test and had lost a cylinder. Will rebuild it eventually with a T3 bolted on for good measure but it was just quicker to fire in a 36000 mile engine in for now. Deffinatly alot quicker with the new lump!!!

Have you thought about your lighting yet? I run 2 Seat Supacopa's in Britcar and other endurance championships and the lightpods with PIAA set up on each car work out about £2.5/£3k alone. When your running for about 3 hours constantly at code 60 in Silverstones pea soup fog at 2am then you have...

That Monaco looks familiar...........I ve got one that looks exactly like that! lol ;) Shes just had a new engine, cambelt, aux belt, front and rear disks :( While doing that though also found broken rear spring and leaking rear shocks so it will be getting new dampers and springs all round...

The propper racing cars from the Renault Sport range come with dry sumps..........single seaters - I am biased!!!! I was refering to the old spec Tatus Formula Renault 2.0 cars. We still got an engine sitting in our storage container with a genuine Renault Sport sump and pump brackets etc...

"how many of you guys that state the clio doesn't suffer from surge actually work for clio cup race teams during the mk2 era? how many of you guys bang a clio pinned through coram in 4th while the car want to exit stage left?" I work with TCR's old clio team manager Lez, does that make me...

Fred is right on this one!! we run our Seat Supacopa race cars with massive differences between platform hights left to right. All varies on the driver and which type of gerbox the car is fitted with. Far easier to explain with a car sitting infront of you on a set of scales though!!!!!

No I havent mate. I figured the valve would be blocking that in a default setting. I will block it tommorrow and see if that cures it untill the replacement cold air pipe arrives

Not sure on the pressure but it takes 650g to fully fill the system from empty. I finally got around to welding up one of my split aircon pipes yesterday and gave it a re gas. Only taken me 18 months to get around to it!!!!!

I ve just fitted a low milage engine to replace mine that lost compression on one cylinder and now the car is idling at fast idle speed (1200rpm) and hunting even when up to water temperature. I ve put the Solus scanner on it and its not coming up with any fault codes. Could this be related to...

Fuel rail was probably used because Renault Sport already had them sitting on the shelf from the FR2000 single seaters. They looked trick, were stronger in case of a big front end shunt and they use JIC -6 unions for better safety.

Was pottering along on my way to work in crookham village so was half asleep untill you were right behind me!!!!!

02 plate with Pistonheads sticker on the rear window. Around junction 6 - 5 of the M3. Looked really clean, certainly put mine to shame!!!!

Edd - im guessing you spent about the same amount of time doing your old car exactly about this time last year!! Is this some summer ritual????!!!!!

Must have been a few clio sport stickers in Luton long stay car park this weekend, my Monaco 172 was there while I was away racing in Spain :D

Almost as cool as my SLR rear wheel coffee table ;)

She probably drives like my mrs when shes on her own.....flat out and slips the clutch off every junction!!

They do tours but only for friends/family of employes, special guests and potential sponsers etc etc.

That would be dean!!!

The black one around Parkgate is my bosses son (who is actually 19) if the number plate reads HO08KER? We just took off the cat and re mapped it to slightly over 600BHP. Epic car to drive!!!!!! ;)

I used to walk past the first prototype McLaren F1 ever made, the first F1 GTR and a GTR race car 3 times a day on my way to tea break.............I did work at the McLaren factory though!!!

They definatly are..................but what was going on with the neon green spare wheel???? lol

Looks better than the horrible red one that I ripped off your old car!!!!!! ;)
