    172 Cup hessitation/misfire on long journeys

    Hi, thought I'd update this. Fitted the new plug and sensor a while back but my trackday at Snetterton was the first test. The day started fine then after lunch the misfire/hesitation started again, and again on the way home. I haven't a clue what to try next...... Anybody got any ideas?

    Matt's "had to have another" 172 Cup

    A few updates, nothing too exciting. Had to have Snappy do my wheel and gaiter, the original wheel wasn't in too bad condition tbf, but its something I wanted doing rather than needing. Wheels have been done wrapped in 4 new PS3's. Gave them a quick seal before putting them on...

    172 Cup hessitation/misfire on long journeys

    I have the part but haven't fitted it yet, I will hopefully give it a go tomorrow and report back. Problem is I don't know when I will go on another long journey to properly check it out.

    172 Cup hessitation/misfire on long journeys

    Evening all, I've done a search but can't find an answer. The problem started on a 2 hour journey last weekend, basically the car performs well and pulls like a train on ordinary everyday journeys, but on longer journey (1hour+) it feels like it's holding back at 5k and above, sometimes it...

    Cheers. Haha, you don't.... until 3rd gear, even then its a tad lively. The 414 is just a pub figure anyway, wanted to see how far it could be pushed. It will grip well with decent throttle input. At 360 which is what I usually run on track it just about puts down full throttle in second when...

    Matt's "had to have another" 172 Cup

    Haha it's not bad. I had to ease off to stop myself stoving the GT3 in the rear, that was at 360. Ring was 297 so a fair way down on power too. Yeah Clio is awesome, was great at Snetterton even though it was very very slippery.

    Matt's "had to have another" 172 Cup

    Cheers, it's surprisingly useable too. Snetterton last year was spot on all day apart from lacking a little feel through the brake pedal. DN10 this year, 11th lap ever and 2 laps before the brush with the barriers. Weighs 910kg so 455 per ton, still has glass, electric windows and mirrors...

    I would have loved one from new but I was 15 when they came into production. Haha, I get that a lot. Owens developments GT2868 HTA at 27psi. Thanks, I forgot how fun they were to drive. The 106 is too lairy to have fun on the roads.

    Matt's "had to have another" 172 Cup

    Hi all, had a 172 Cup about 4 years back until someone stole it. I always fancied another so due to a recent incident (I'll get to that in a bit) I ended up with one. It's a 53 plate with a smidge over 100k, Ktec coilovers, brembo discs, DS2500, braided hoses and a stainless exhaust system. I...
