Wouldnt crank over at first, all fixed by replacing the three brown relays on the fuse box, but there is no power to the coil pack, and the fuel pump doesnt run unless i bridge the pins on the relay socket, the relay itself is fine. Not sure what the other big brown relay is for, or the purple...
Why steer away from the cups? As long as he can drive and don't car about aircon I dont see the prob tbh!
edit to say, membership defo worth it, only paid site I use, and you get loads from it. It instantly saved me £50 on insurance and £5 on detailing stuff!
Noticed this in a scrappy today, looked pretty much complete and had spax and a stainless, maybe some other goodies etc. It was on the Temple Farm Industrial Estate in West Hannifield.:)
Cheers guys, mats and steering wheel were a good price, and worked out free after picking up some other bits off the car and selling them on (reason i sold the Cup spoiler in for sale forum so cheap, I believe in spreading the love) :)
I like the standard silver turinis too, but fancied...
Bought this today, should be here shortly. Its a TRS Towstrap for the front, nice and obvious for when the car is on track, if it needs to be hooked up in a hurry!
I have also removed the 172 badges from the pillars, it just says "cup" now, the 172 part is very fragile and they were already...
Yesterday was a good day for my Clio, a car I have been waiting for at salvage finally cleared so I could raid it for bits.
The steering wheel in mine was absolutly shot to pieces, as is very commom in these. The one at the salvage had a nicely retrimmed one though, so in it goes!
Before...
Copied from another forum so first few posts may be a bit odd.
Bought this with the intention of leaving it standard and running about in it. It came from a 50 year old fella who bought it brand new, so I am the second owner.
When I got it there were a few pin dents and a larger dent on the...
weirdly when mine did the same thing a replacement key battery fixed it, then it happened again a few weeks later and a replacement car battery solved it. Car has been fine since. Is the trip computer remembering the miles? If not then the main battery is on the way out. Long shot but thought I...
For anyone interested I did this on sat, turned out a dodgy plug was causing the running prob, but we had the cat off so decided to decat anyway lol.
Car is defo more responsive on the throttle, not faster as such but feels good.
Noisewide, I wouldn't say its louder, but has a different more...
stuck my head under and looks like the actual cat part could be cut out and replaced easy enough, and the lamba bosses could be left in place. Would have to get under it properly to confirm though.
Anyone know the diameter of the pipes on cat?
Pretty sure the cat has perished on my 172. Lumpy as hell, slight backfire, engine light flashing and rotten egg smell.
If I am right and it is that, it seems like the time to decat the car. My question is, can I simply cut the cat part out and replace it with a section of pipe, welded in? I...
