Hi all got an issue with my 172 cup, been running perfectly fine used everyday etc. Got to work Thursday morning as normal left the car over night as I took works van home, went out aftet work Friday put key in ignition and got the dreaded solid red light? Car won't even crank over or do...
as for the engines ive had an ibiza 20vt which is 150hp as standard (not to sure on engine code) that made 369hp on a totally stock engine but with some big injectors, ihi vf34 turbo conversion, jabba sport ceramic manifold, custom cooler and boost pipes running on dta pro management.
Then i...
Makes me laugh people saying to much power for
fwd, you would be very surprised at how good
it actually puts it down. I would put money on that a 300-350hp one would be worse.
The traction kit fitted really does its job well
Im on about mk1s mate so its not Simons its a lad
called Andrew and Simon built it for him.
Your obviously not looking hard enough for the
big power mk1s lol as there is plenty out there.
There is a few monster powered ones about now one built by siech racing in Scotland made 515
another lad i know his made 545hp his is the highest powered to date.
i guess with any high powered car, reliability is never gonna be what you want lol.....
its not great in the wet, but tbh, i dont drive like a tool anyway so its not an issue :)
scc actually built the full car for previous owner but they used to get ian to do the heads and engines etc.
drives spot on tbh i think the traction kit setup hels a great deal tbh, but i cant really compare as its the only focus ive had/drove, always had cossies previous to this.
quick spec
fully forged engine with eagle rods and ian howell custom spec cp pistons, ian howell ported head, with scc valve spring conversion and scc spec cams with titanium springs and collets. rc750cc injectors ford racing inlet manifold with 70mm throttle body, pro alloy intercooler...
me and a mate just bought this off ebay for £600 to use for track
its been owned by somebody on here previously as its got cliosport.net stickers etc and the membership folder.
hi all after getting rid of my old cup ive just bough a phase 1 172 for track use, now it needs a new drivers door so what i wanted to know is
are both phase 1 and phase 2 iceberg silver sports actually the same colour code? and are the doors the same.
Thanks lee
my 172 was 83.9 at croft its got a magnex cat back they give or take a few db tbh. my mates fiesta rs1800 was just under 90db and they let him go. its the drive by test they are more concerned about on the 88db days.
not sure mate but the dephaser is quite noisy when engine is warm,so i know that is could possibly need changing but got some oil and filter and a flush today so ill get that done at weekend and see if it helps at all,also got a new cts so ill whack that in also.
cheers for help everyone
