Anyone got a CLIP system around Reading ? Trying to diagnose rev limit issue on PH1

I have a strange issue where the car appears to hit a rev limit at about 6k in 3rd & 4th gear, it’s like it hits a wall and is pulled back and the temp light comes on for a couple of seconds but the actual temp is normal. All other gears rev to 7k without issue. As a race car I have to short...

Hi Guys, I have what I think is probably a cracked or damaged gear Selector enclosure as there is a lot of play in the stick and it doesn't go into 1st very well and seems to catch from 3rd to 4th. I want to tighten up the sloppiness first of all and go from there before looking at the box to...

anyone got a set or rear wheel spacers anywhere near Snetterton ? 5mm per side

if I wanted to change my front discs, would re-using the long studs be ok. IE to press them out and back into the new discs ?

172 Ph1 race car Finally got my lower mount bolts out and when trying to fit the GAZ gold, with the lower mount collars fitted (either side of lower mount spherical bearing, the spring touches the inner side of the wheel well. I could try and cut 5mm off the inner collar but that would put the...

Replacing rear coilovers. put penetrating oil on over night and manual method with long pry bar wouldn’t move and my impact driver wouldn’t touch them either. I am thinking heat is now the way to go but wanted some advice as don’t want to snap them. Apply via heat gun to bolt heads or blow torch...

Wanted some recommendations for spring rates for a 172 Ph1 race car. I have Leda coilovers on front & Leda dampers on back with beam springs. Springs are old Eibacs and way too soft. Ideally I would replace with new AST coilovers but as the Leda are in good working condition and I dont currently...

Hi Folks, Considering getting a Racelogic vbox but I cant seem to find out whether the Ph1 can output throttle & brake information via OBD / CANBUS etc Anyone know what the limitations are here if any?

I have a ph1 & ph2 (both track only cars) Looking to get a set of AST's 5200's for the ph1 as a race setup but have a few questions Current ph1 set up = Cup wishbones, PMS top mounts & brace, polybushed etc. 1) What top mount should I get that allows easy adjustment of camber from the top ...

Anyone know a trusted re-mapper in the Berkshire area ? Standard ECU / UCH set-up The car has been mapped already so not starting from factory set-up. Fueling is off (lean) and need sorting as race car Seen a few online but don't know if anyone has used these guys or if they are a gamble...

ph1 wont go into reverse. Would just about go in with PMS shifter if you try a few times and held it there, wont go in at all with stock shifter. Have changed the linkage bushes as there was a bit of play, but no different. Have adjusted the rotation of the linkage rod in numerous positions but...

Just wondered if anyone had Leda's on a ph1 track car with Oz F1's & wheel spacers. Looking to see what the ideal spacer size is. I am running R888's & Rainsport 3's & looking to achieve approx -3 to -3.5 on front.

Need to increase my negative camber on dedicated track car running on R888's. The issue is that the front coilover body thickness prevents getting anymore than about -1.5 due to the inner edge of the tyre rubbing on the strut body. Seems logical to consider moving the wheel out from the hub /...

I have a 172 ph1 dedicated track / race car with Eibach 800-250-200 on my front Leda's and not sure what spring rate on the rear as the paint has come off but they are Eibach & running Leda's also. I wondered what the recommendation would be in terms of increasing spring rates as it is a little...

Does anyone know if you can buy the connector plug that is on the wiring loom that connects into the speed sensor on the gearbox housing ? Mine has melted & caused a short so need to find one to solder back onto the loom, not sure what the connector is called but it is female and has 3 pins...

Hi Folks, Finishing a race car and the series I am entering requires a working rear wiper. When I bought the track car 18months ago. The rear wiring loom had been removed as had the wiper unit so I now need to wire the rear wiper to an independant feed / switch etc as it will be a nightmare...

My heater / AC fan switch doesn't work on number 4. 1,2 & 3 work but when you switch to number 4 fans stops. Is it likely to be a connection issue within that switch or resister pack or something else ? Appreciate your feedback

I have a 172 ph1 track car. I'm getting a "boing" noise from the ABS when I come to a halt. Brakes are working fine and I'm not getting the "boing" when applying the brakes, or when in motion, just right at the end when I am almost stopped or completely stopped. Was on track day on Friday and...

Have a sticking throttle. Replacement cable didnt fix. Have cleaned the TB thoroughly with carb cleaner. Looks like I have a bit of lateral play in the butterfly spindle. IE moves at least 2mm left & right along the length of the spindle. Looks like the butterfly is starting to catch the side...

Car was sticking at approx 2k rev's when you put clutch in ready to downshift, so tried wd40, didnt work. So all advice suggested changing cable. Have done that and made sure was same length as previous one. Was fine yesterday but today sticking again at 2k / 2.5k. Definately seems to be...

Got a set of Leda's on my new 172 track car. Looking for any advice on setups for dry & wet conditions. I have the ones with the red control knobs as per below

Hi Folks, Excuse the newibie questions, but mine doesn't have anything covering the underside and the crank pully and cam belt are exposed. The concern is that a stone or something flicks up and damages the belt, then eventually, bang goes the engine. Especially as it is a track car. I can't...

Hi Folks, Appreciate your thoughts on this one. Serviced the car yesterday. new Oil, Filter & Plugs. Completed oil & filter change, checked level, then started her up and run for a minute or so, re checked level. All fine. Then changed the plugs. Did in sequence, one at a time, correctly...
