It’s a wired one, hitting a limit in 4th & Fifth gear at 5.5k ish, temp light comes on
Momentarily but then goes out after a second or two, other gears are fine to 7k changed temp sensor and have bought replacement standard thermostat to try also, had PMS low temp one in for 2 years with no...
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...
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...
Also wanted to confirm ideal ride height front & rear. I am running R888's & Rainsport 3's
The current front springs are 9". Not sure about the rear but the rear is probably too low and needs a bit of rake to front.
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...
I have both and started with an MX5 or Eunos Mk1 then got 2 track Clio's. Still love my 5. They are both different and both rewarding in their own way to drive. I paid £2500 for my 1st Clio with cage & safety bits already in there, but paid £500 for my Mx5 and spent a further £1500 putting...
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.
They look interesting,
Are these just tightened into the standard threaded bolt holes ? Interested to know how to get these tight without crushing the thread if so?
or are they fed through the back of the disc ?
what width are the spacers?, the ones i have seen online seem to be 15mm or 16mm...
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...
