Chinese + French = RAC

Managed 3 and a half laps of llandow today in the supercharged Clio, it was epic for all of them too, then a bag full of nothingness.

Cheap (although still expensive) MAP sensors FTL. Oh well, home now

 

[The Boosh!]

Quiet reliable these supercharged Clios eh?...

Yep, had to get out the circuit a few miles lol.

The sc is reliable Boosh, just not the other bits I fitted to it

"Sir, can I take a look at your wristband?"

 

[yellowbelly]

Blind south gloucestershirarian lol. Built it myself, started new years day and running 3'weeks ago makin 245bhp

Chinese map sensor, piece of poop

 

[Ali]

Are all MAP sensors not chinese or "Far Easern"??!

 

[bomber]

Genuine marelli sensors cost 3-4 times more than the cheap copies, probably made in the same factory but massive difference in quality

 

[Ali]

Interesting!

So is it all sorted now?!

 

[bomber]

It's in the van, will refit it tonight but fingers crossed it's solved. I'm hoping it isn't something else causing the map sensor to die, I can't be buying new sensors every 500 miles lol

I'm sure the 500miles is worth it!

 

[JD]

Lol, how did you manage to get it out and a few miles away? Looks tidy!

Tow rope

Ironically, that person who towed then crashed his car on track and needed a tow too!

In the end his car was drivable so all good

 

[bomber]

The 500 miles has been worth it, but that would start getting very expensive!!

Cheers JD, as Shadowness has said, it got towed by a mate who then buried his car into a tyre wall when he returned to the track :/
