Clio Clio 172 (will this one get a turbo?)

I didnt realise you'd replaced the rears already sorry! Erm I dunno...diagnostic time?

Shit.
This did only start after I put brakes on. With the spacers. I can't see the spacers doing anything unless they're massively magnetic. Think they were ally

I cleaned the sensors a bit. Not roughly though. Just took the particles that had collected on them off whilst I was there.
I'm feeling like it is the wrong and rings. Although I can't recall if I checked the amount of teeth, I feel like I would have looked first

Everybody count with me

26 teeth. Rookie mistake. How I didn't notice this I'll never know. I 'tidied up' aswell so the old discs and rings are no longer with me.
I'll have to order the correct ones and smash them on. 44 teeth for the record
At least that'll be me sorted then

New set ordered.

Wrong size!

Sent back and another set ordered

Little bit too small.
Bit of sandpaper and a big hammer and they're on

Back on the car. No more abs service issues. Hooray.
It still hasn't cured my cruise control though like I would hope all these new rings would have so thats disappointing.

Goes smooth and well.
Cambelt and cruise control to sort then it's off to efi for the final map. 2 years late

Theyre designed to be heat fitted, so you toast the rings with a blowtorch, drop them on, and they shrink fit as they cool.

I thought as much. I left the disc in the shade and the rings in the sun for a good 45 seconds before I attempted it

Mot sorted and been using it to get me to work and back. Put about 150 miles on it in a few days. Runs great and feels quicker every time I drive it.
Grabbed a bargain of an exhaust local to me

Seller had a completely standard iceberg 172 on the drive. Looked just like mine with an L plate on. Said his daughter is using it to learn to drive which is cool.


So much beefier and lighter than the standard stuff.
It's a ktr one. Cat is already gutted so it's essentially straight through to back box.
Sounds a bit deeper at idle. Not driven it yet.

Also found a wiring issue on the rear plugs

I have cleaned them up both sides but I'm still getting a flash or fog light when I touch the brakes, and funnily enough right indicator and fog light comes on (on the dash only) when taking it out of reverse with the brake on. Funny

Also, now this is near completion, the next one is already in bits

Far cry from Renault simplicity. Pretty much everything out to remove some useless crap. And it needs a clutch. But supposed to be 340hp. I've not felt more than about 30 driving it home
