No I didn't actually. I've that and the cam position sensor to check too now, thanks!

Nah that has a "blanket" on it so no heat shield, same as the other blue Clio I have too actually

I took a video of it happening. It's like it doesn't like something when it hits the limiter. It goes onto 3 cylinders and hangs at 3k rpm for a second. A restart of the car and it's fine again

This will be a bit of a long read Went out to the Clio over the weekend to try and sort out this "check injection" error that kept happening the last track day. Started off by checking the throttle body would open fully on the pedal being pressed fully and was operating. That all worked fine...

The headlights always make such a difference to the look of it after you polish them up!

The bad from the trackday... The Clio is definitely down on power which isn't great. It's not until it hits 5/6k rpm so I'm guessing it's vvt or timing related as it's the top end of the range, it's fine lower down. Myself and my friend with his Clio went out and he was able to sail by me when...

Did a few bits before the trackday at the weekend to hopefully sort out the Clio. Started off by just doing an oil change and gearbox oil change. Engine oil looked healthy and fine, the gearbox oil however I could see some shiny bits of synchros in the oil towards the end. I've ordered a synchro...

Damn I gave the paddock a quick walk after it happened but never saw you, ah well I've been tempted to buy a clip or one of the specific diagnostic tools for Renaults anyways. I'll have to have a look at the top mounts, it's a 2010 car so I think it could be either, I'll check when I'm down in...

Did the first trackday in the new Clio over the weekend. Wasn't the smoothest of sailings but it was a good shakedown. Went out for a test lap in the morning after the usual checks, was about halfway through the lap and my driver's door swung wide open, not an ideal thing to happen! After...

Mines been the same for years too, I currently have a regulator out of a 1.9tdi golf in it. Been working fine for years. As far as I know, it's a "smart charging" system. Usually takes about 20 minutes for the fault to appear on my dash but anytime I checked it voltage was fine and no issues so...

Yeah do! It's meant to be a very hot day but I'll be there all day!

Even though I agree I feel there's a slight bias here

Did a few bits to the Clio over the weekend. We had a couple of friends down at the shed giving us a hand as the other Clio there was also getting a few bits done. I needed to install some eyebolts for the 6 point harnesses, why you'd not do this along with the rest of them in the first place...

Anytime I've taken them off I've set them to 170, it's extremely tight for sure! They are also an absolute pain in the ass to get out sometimes

If you have a helicoil kit that also solves the problem and is relatively easy do, done mine a few years ago and haven't had issues since!

Yeah I guess it can be hard to pin down! The trackdays ye do usually have a good elevation changes so maybe that could be a factor too? Anyways it's something we'll all be adding to our checklists every other trackday then!

That's nuts! Have ye any idea what might be the contributing factor to it?

So will I I've only drove it around the shed so I can't really make a comparison yet at all. I reckon the PMS is far more satisfying though just because it's rods and not cables

I've bought another Clio Went over and picked up this the other day. It's a cup 200. Well as far as I'm aware it's a cup, it's got a normal key and barrel ignition. Spec is as follows: 58k Miles, Full weld in cage and sprayed, bc coilovers, ebc RPX front pads, PBS rears, 3d printed brake...

Yeah I thought that was him alright! Ah nice yeah he was saying someone had bought/was looking alright. Good to see another one then down at mondello soon enough! I'll be keeping my eye out for a full race spec one but nice ones don't pop up too often, I'll happily use mine until then.
