Lovely. Thanks for that.

Code read. No probs apart from it showed I'd bounced it off the rev limiter

I hear what you're saying Mark but I'm still going to delete it ta. Could it be as simple a putting in the brackets from a cup?

I always do

It's going to be a track car. I'm told if you get it all out it totals about 25kg's?

Exactly.

Am I using words that are too long for you. You asked what car they were fitted to.

You say that but others have generalised as if it were true of all. If putting braces in that don't connect with the top of the shock dont do anything why do roll cages that aren't increase torsional regidity by such big margins?

Now the juices are flowing and I'm swinging the lamp I put one on a MK VI Escort Gti, front only, which was a Ford part from the cabriolet that bolted to the tower and that was fab as well.

A mk IV Escort RS Turbo. An amazing car. Had all sorts since but still miss it :(

Good move :)

My experience of strut braces contradicts a lot of what is written here. I put front and rear on a car I had a few years ago which were both bolted to the tower and not the strut and the difference was huge. The way it stiffened the chassis up was amazing and they remain to this day the best mod...

Is it a case of just removing it all or is it more involved than that? If more involved what parts are required? Cheers

So there is no benefit from welding tube between the shock towers front and back. Braces must be fitted to the top of the shocks?

Where did the battery go? I'm sure I've read in the pat that the length of the intake has an effect on the performance.

Chip, message received. Many thanks

Ok. Cheers guys. Will get it looked at.

New hear. TPS. Throttle position sensor?

Just spent 10 mins on the Pure website. Some serious gear on there.

Previous owner had it done. Presumably Mitchell's, Lowestoft. Would have to check receipts for date. You are starting to concern me now. Lol

Local Renault sports specialist :) Is it a likely candidate?

Surely the timing is fixed isn't it. How would it change. Do you mean the vvt? The belts have been changed recentlY

No, this is third, fourth and fifth into three figures

Can anyone suggest why a 172 would go better and feel smoother on less than full throttle. When I pushed it today on full throttle it felt hesitant and gave a rough edge to the sound?

No comments on the mods?

Dont know where it is on these cars but if its easy to get to to i would say do it yourself if you have some basic tools.

Thank you :)

Not familiar with clio's yet but sounds like an idle control valve is clogged up. In other makes i would say find it, clean with like a carb or brake cleaner and stick it back in.

It says to say hi so here it is;) Just about to get myself my first Renault and plumbing for a 2002 silver 172. Ive been reading the site for a while now, getting a feel for it and the mods to go for. It will be a toy for track use mainly. From what ive read the things to start with look like...
