The car has:
Tubular manifold and ss exhaust, decat and a airfilter.
It idles fine but when driving it intermittently looses power, foot to the floor and nothing just it misfiring and bogging down.
We have changed coil pack, leads, plugs, cranksensor so far.
Ideas on what it could be...
Having some problems with my 172 cup turbo.
Giving it stick from stationary, through the gears up to 5th the boost is fine, runs and pulls very well. Boosts to 10psi....
Lift off, slow down, accelerate from 3rd and it boosts to 14psi, engine misfires and sounds awful.....
Slow down to 20mph...
I brought a car recently and one of the issues was the standard headunit not fitting well and needing a code.
I t now fits perfectly, code is sorted and it all works, EXCEPT when i turn the ignition off it requests the code again.
I have narrowed it down to a missing wire on the plug that goes...
I am considering buying a clio 172 turbo to use as a donor for parts to turbo my 172 cup..
The 172 turbo has been done using a k-tec kit, but runs a k-tec low pressure turbo ecu (not gen90), which i am led to believe is a standard ecu...?
The plan is to return the 172 turbo to standard and put...
Fitted my jms rs2 inlet everything seems ok except a couple of things.
1. The injector that needs turning round due to the mount being in the way - its normally held in with a little metal clip that goes into a holr in the injector. With it turned around there's no little hole for the clip...
Surely it cant be making that power?

Had a whining noise from start up for a while. It quietens down after about 2 minutes of running and cant be heard when warm.
Today I had the front bumper off to get it repaired and started it to move it and the noise was very loud so I investigated at the front and tracked the noise down to...
Friend is selling his car, as he just brought his mrs a Fiat 500. Has been well looked after..

Right, this has been an ongoing problem for a while with some success in getting it to drive a little better. I have changed:
Coilovers - (it is very low)
Powerflex ARB and wishbone bushes,
Solid top mounts,
New ball joints,
new track rod ends
Had the alignment done after fitting coilovers and...
Just had Polybushes done on the inner and outer arb and wishbones and a puremotorsport solid top mount/strut brace fitted.
Picked the car up tonight and it feels good. The tracking needs doing which will be done at the weekend.
The only problem I have is the steering wheel isn't self centering...
Right my problem is the mrs has hearing issues and wears hearing aids. The current unsilenced decat coupled with a supersport ktec stealth system and no rear seats make the cabin noise quite high and its playing havoc with her hearing aids.
I dont really want to change it as I love the way it...
Thought I would post up a couple of progress pics in here as I dont have a project thread due to too many haters lol
Got a deal on a JL 10w3v3 Sub and 500.1 Amp, so went about building a box! Not having rear seats it needed to be hidden to try and stop it getting robbed.
Still have...
My insurance was due for renewal a few days ago. I found out last night admiral had decided to auto-renew my policy taking the 1557 out my bank and making me overdrawn - nice.
They sent me no renewal notice and just took it off a card i paid a top up amount from. When i complained about it...
My clio has been pulling the the left for quite a while and after I had it tracked a couple of times I went somewhere different a suspension specialist to have a look. I was expecting I had broken/bent something.
The car is lowered a as low as I can get it without rubbing on Gaz/KTR...
Went to get the adjusters taken out the back of the car today and was told they couldn't do it as the springs wont sit on the flat plate and that it will just slip out.
Black 172, had a cliosport sticker in the rear window. Drove past STS tyres, then came back and went in the shell garage and then back towards town.
I was in a blue cup with Yellow wheels and let it out of the garage :)
Finally got it lowered at the weekend so went out with a mate for some pic's so let the whoring begin! I know most probably wont like it but feel free to flame away.
Right,
I am going to be getting Weitec coilovers this month (hopefully)
I have done a little searching around re: camber.
the place I am looking at getting it done do not have the capability to do the setup so will be getting it done at a more local place I think. I basically need to know...
I see it every morning at about quarter to 8 on the A43 in Northampton by the Riverside roundabout
And then every evening about 5:20ish coming off the A45 onto the A43 by the Riverside roundabout.
Have seen it now every day for the past few months! I am normally in my diesel corsa and...
Need a quick bit of help,
I need to know the axle loadings front and back for a 172 cup.
I think it will be on the silver tab inside the door but I dont have my clio back yet and cant find it anywhere.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
The little orange engine light has come on and stayed on.
It started on Monday when I drove the 40 odd miles to work and it was fine, got stuck in traffic, then the engine light started flashing and the car seemed to miss on one of the cylinders, sounding a bit like a scooby.
So I drove...
