Going to the ring so bought a 172!

And I'm sure that's the misfire light that's light up, is it running sweet other than at the wrong revs at times.

Yeah I've had it 10 days and ran fine until yesterday. No signs of misfire at all, I've also used my obd2 and torque app and no codes displayed

 

[seabass859]

So I thought I was being clever and disconnected the battery in a attempt to clear the warning ready for the journey home later. Just my luck it won't start up. Any ideas

 

[seabass859]

So relieved, after hours of reading different forums and trying to resync the key I removed and checked all fuses one by one and all good. I nearly didn't bother but thought I'd try firing her up and hey presto she runs (whoop whoop!)

Many thanks guys

Just ordered 4x t1-r's, brakes next... I think I'm going with brembo hc disc's + ferodo ds2500 (upfront). standard rear disc's with matching ferodo rear pads. Probably best she has a fluid change aswell, This all being dependant on my visit to mick Monday. Gotta make sure she's worth the cash

Would just put standard pads in the rear. Ds2500 are fairly quick to react but do still need more hear than standards and the rears on these cars generate very little heat at all.

In which case you've just saved me £50, thanks again chip

[Chip-mk1]

Cool stuff.

Cadwell is awesome.

 

[seabass859]

I was properly hanging out the side of my seat round park and colins curve pmsl

 

[seabass859]

Im currently on a hunt for some cobra sub-frames so I can fit my old Daytona's and harnesses.

if anyones got some pm me

 

[seabass859]

I should have mentioned this earlier but after having my tracking done (with 2 degrees toe in) the mechanic asked me to have a look at my brakes and said these need sorting now. so my new discs pads and other goodies turned up

after removal of the front discs

outside

inside

as you can see the inside of the disc had worn the pads down to the baking plate. (Im so glad I found this out before going to Cadwell)

new discs/pads fitted

 

[seabass859]

if anyone as any calipers+carriers im looking for a second set to get painted up (pm me)

 

[seabass859]

I had also ensured she was fully serviced before cadwell giving her new plugs, new leads, fresh oil and filter, new pollen filter and a complete fluid check, coolant, brake and empty washer bottle (weight reduction FTW) I also decided to remove the rear seats although we ended up grinding through one of the torx bolts as the head sheard away upon removal (I didnt use the wrong size...honest)

I ment chris curve

 

[seabass859]

So with only 9 days left till we depart I got myself some new rear discs, bearings and pads.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Hope you have a good time mate. We've just booked for the end of August.

 

[seabass859]

A little something I edited in anticipation (only 4 days to go)

 

[seabass859]

Picked these up for £33 bargain

Off to the powder coaters 2moro

 

[seabass859]

So I was thinking, on my old car it looked so much better with my show plates

so I decided some Cliosport ones would look just as good.

 

[seabass859]

I ordered some normal sized black plates and ordered some stickers and everything turned up today so here goes.

 

[seabass859]

I firstly marked out the plates with masking tape to ensure it was central.

and stuck the stickers on.

 

[seabass859]

I'm sure you will agree that these would look mint on any Clio.

I cant any wait to get her cleaned and get some epic photos done....

 

[seabass859]

Il ensure I have them with me at any club meet or trackday, gotta represent lol

 

[seabass859]
