Yeah, easier than I thought as well. Cup alternator is even easier! Have you gone for EPAS yet? I cant remember

Im worried about this. Ive measured 94db at 4k but apparantly thats not 75% and should be around 5.25k? It hits the limiter at 6000 when in neutral

I would drop the subframe at the rear and loosen front bolts, undo the pinch bolt to column from drivers side arch first, then when its down get to the hoses with a stubby spanner.

@GrahamS absolutely awesome progress! The car looks fantastic and purposeful as anything! Congrats on graduating also - good feeling isnt it? I have my first track day on the 1st, im concerned my ktec recessed system will be to loud now! It has no centre silencer but has the standard cat - was...

@Dr Jekyll are the brake ducts a tight fit? Found some 95mm ones cheaper but worried they wont fit without copious amounts of adhesive!

Uh hate grinder/drill based injuries or near misses - I always fully suit up now after one to many close calls! Remember following this in Fast Car mag I think? Didnt it have a yellow cage?

Get a proper silicone cap for the blanks instead of a bolt, looks much neater. I couldnt get rid of the light until I soldered the resistor in and cut the plug off.

If I had a pound for everytime Ive heard that :p Bargain mate.

I think theres one in the traders section.

Ignore that - thought it was for a cup setup.

I think you are missing the adjustment bolts from that list.

Aerial base is relatively easy to change but needs headlining dropping slightly. It connects behind drivers c pillar.

There is a good guide on the PMS website for fitting the ac delete, which shows how to remove the pipework and condenser. http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/Fitting%20guides/172%20aircon%20delete%20kit%20instructions%20with%20standard%20pulleys.pdf

5L of Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax - love this stuff as a weekly wash. Can do it in 30-45 mins and dont have to muck about getting jetwash and hose out. 40 microfibres - mine are getting on abit. AF Finale - my go to QD, any good alternatives?

You selling the old one?

All sport racks are the same, 2.75 turns. Id go for epas, it makes it a lot easier to swap the racks in future.

Yes, air con sensor. Plugs in near the rad somewhere

Ok, thanks - I think its probably the carbon canister anyway. Im going to take the dash top off tonight and check the connections otherwise im stumped!

Hi all, Bit of background - ph2 172, steering wheel airbag has been deactivated in CLIP previously. Car has had a new battery and full dashboard out for EPAS conversion. Also removed the engine wiring loom and cut back and removed aircon and pas wires to the fuseboard/ecu. All back together...

Have you swapped the motor?

That ecu bracket mounts differently. Theres a clip on the underside (you csn see it in the picture), that slots into the dash frame near the drivers door, and where you have bolts it there is a corresponding hole on the dash framework to secure it.

I was going to say, that wiring is surely a lot beefier than standard and a shorter run. Is the motor available seperately or easy to get from a breaker?

Wouldnt it either work or not if the wire wasnt up to the task? Or blow the fuse if it was demanding more power? Im in the middle of my conversion and just have the track rods to swap onto my DCI rack and then it will be ready to go and I will see if I have the same concerns!

Just FYI, you can fit 6.5 inch speakers in the front doors, with a slight trim to the doorcard. Just make sure you get a shallow-ish speaker as the baskets can hit the window/stop it coming fully down. I went full whack and ran new wire into the doors (through a multiplug) and to the tweeters...

Hi mate, dont happen to know what track rods your using? I fitted standard 172 ones to my DCI rack and they are way too short! Not sure whether I need DCI or cup ones! Thanks.

Good thread mate, lots of ideas! Ive got 25mm2 battery cable, was that what you had before that was to thin?

Options atm are the ebay cage, Sassa rear cage, MF rear cage. Need to do some thinking!

Thanks. Easy to fit the MF cage?

Hi everyone, Background, ph2 172 with corbeau buckets, oreca harnesses (4 point), Jon Foz frames (when I order them!). Im aware of the risks running harnesses in the seatbelt holes and the less than ideal angles. Can I get away with a harness bar between the rear turrets and if so, any...

Have you got the part number for that 1.2 heatshield mate? Sure it was in this thread but being dense and cant find it!
