Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Well you have more experience than me Pete ;) Regarding the spreader plates, yes there should be, as that's what I asked for when it was fitted, however have not looked. Anything else you see that might fail scrutineers please feel free to point it out.

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Thats another job, will put spreader plates on the crutch straps when I get the gear shift moved (im having it moved about 2-3 inches down). Thats rubbish that it has play in it. This item seems very robust and solid. It's from Demontweeks, cost about...

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" **Overdue update** April 2013 Since the weather has got a tad better I decided to crack on with some work on the car. The to do list is increasing dramatically. Over the past few months I have been hoarding and scavenging parts to get this car back on the...

Hmm maybe a tad tricky, all I did was remove the airbag ecu and side airbag wiring! I did accidentally cut a wire to the 12v socket but that was repaired.

Any other means of checking that its working?

​Yes the dial test worked fine.

So, I have checked all fuses and wiring and still the rev counter does not work. Is it a possibility that something could have blown inside the instrument cluster?

lol... Looking good Morgan. Good to see some progress at last.

In the OP's sig it says he has a 172 cup racer, their engines sit lower right (as well as gearbox) so what drive shafts do they use? If they run 172 cup drive shafts then they would stick out more due to them being lower...right/wrong?

I'v been looking into the French trophy as well. I will def aim for 2014 as car is not 100% ready. Also I would like to get to grips with all the UK circuits that they race at. Ash, sounds like a good seasons racing there.

Looking good....lucky you was not working on the car mate, the tile outcome could have ended up a lot worst!

:cheers:

Looking good, nice colour combo. I would def have gone for a 4 point harness so you have two straps bolted at the back, just to space the load.

Looking good Pete, nice catch by Sam! Was that due to cold rear tyres then? Glad the car is coming along nicely...

Good effort Mike, sounds and looks cracking.

Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra Thats no excuse.. We need entertaining at all times of the day ;) Love the rear arch's looks phat.

Nice one, any close up pics of the install? What pipe connections are needed?

very nice mate. How did you fit the control panel to the dash?

Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra Ahh yes so it is. Lovely looking car.

Great videos and awesome driving there guys, enjoyed watching them. Question, (little confused) that was the French Trophy right, so you was among the Nippon guys, how many French cars was there, was you all in a different series or did they combine the race due to numbers?

Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra What are you going to do where the headlights and wings Join, Looks like that void could create drag.

Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra That blue looks identical to Mondial....is it the same? Im not one for body kits and all that, however I must admit that does look mean.

Looks smart that. I like the O.Z stickers. set it off a treat.

Looks like my garage lol

Awesome pics and write up Tony.

Awesome write up mate, sounds epic.

Yea sure thing, i only mentioned it as a friend had his car fail his mot due to washer jet not working, so made me think thats all. Is it a new Mot requirement or has it always been that way? Either way car is looking good ;)
