Say cheap but obviously you get what you pay for i wont be spending over 500 its my 1st track car when I get better ill get better stuff and yes the spring rating mate? Someone said 375 front and 200-225 rear? I know my mates xr2 is running like 800 pounds im sure he said? As for my old shocks...
Budget is low as poss haha! Ive found some brand new for 475 the car is just for track day fun but i want it to be decent as I feel the suspension side is killing my fun now! Car is trailered to the tracks and always will be. And if it wears bushes thats fine as long as I get my fun cause its...
Hi guys right im buying a new set of coilovers for my 172 track car. I'm pretty new to all this and need some help on what weight i need for them front and rear can anyone give me any advice on the best option as i dont want to have be replacing them if they aint what I need. Car is standard bar...
Has anybody put electric steering on there 172? I only use as a track car and it just seems to get to hot to fast! It's had a new pump racing power steering fluid and still having same problem so was just a thought??
As above ive found the relays on back of the uch and when i do get the lights to go out they dont work period then is there a way to turn it off without killing them all together? Ive put a sunstrip on and i dont think that helps it either! Thanks john :)
Tried that still no go. My friend got a ecu read out and come and sorted it last night was a fuse that didnt appear to be blown but clearly was somehow and a dodgy wire to the fuel pump relay. Thanks for your help dan :)
Ecu uch and fob. It's just the same as it was? For all i know could be a faulty ecu again but nothing seems burnt out on either of the parts i taken off though I'm not sure if they would look burnt out? I tried to bypass the immobiliser too but still nothing, just red light solid
Ive already posted but got nowhere long story short put jump leads on wrong way and gained this fault. its had a new battery the new ecu uch key kit and still no joy im at my wits end with it now me and my friend been trying everything all night all fuses and relays seem fine just like its...
Got a new kit fitted it all and I'm still at square one? Car is justimmobilised ? Is this a call for a auto or have a got to do something else after replacing it all :(
So stick to my original plan of just a de cat back then :) sorry to be a pain how do I join then as I cant see it anywhere or how to add a profile picture
So really for the likes of oulton park with no major straights im better off with the 182 manifold? Do you have any of them knocking about lol also why cant I go in for sale parts? Thanks for your help
Oh i see but its got a 4 branch as standard so wasn't thinking of changing that. Well you seem to know more the. Me so what are the best power upgrades ;)
I think i have already sauced one guys thank you very much fingers crossed it works when it arrives but I'll keep you in mind because always in the back of my mind its going to be wrong, also with you saying a 182, could you not put a 182 ecu on a 172 to make it 182 or is that very naive of me...
Thanks very much. Next question i needed one like yesterday does anybody have one for sale? I cant view the parts for sale? Please somebody help im out in it next week :(
Seems I need a new ecu, with me having to replace it and the locks etc does it have to be a percific one or will any do? The car is a 03 172. If anyone can help with either info or a ecu would be much appreciated
Hi all. Ive been a idiot and got the jump leads mixed up jumping my 172 :mad: the battery seems fine but the car wont start now just turns over for a few seconds then stops itself? ive got a feeling the fuel pump isn't working but all the fuses seem fine somebody has said ecu will be ca put, is...
