looks alot better there mate

yes ive got that mate. but will only sell it with the whole gearbox mount

the electric rack off the 1.2 weighs alot lesst than any of the other racks, you electric power steering is located on the steering column now the rack anyway, so if you want to save weight you have to get a sport steering column, very pointless tho

ill have a look in a min and see what ive got

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion Yeah we have done alot since then rob. I cant wait to drive it now, i had a smile on my face for most of yday when it started up lol

No i have converted my 1.2 to a 172 and you cant use the subframe from a non sport on a sport

Car looks good in the last few pics there, didnt end up looking anything like f0xys, his will remain the best non sport to grace the forum lol

The induction kit should affect the idle..... Great way to start and you got that at a bargin price, just buy a decent set of lowering spring not a cheap set of coilovers.

no harm in tracking it, i took my 1.2 on track twice before putting a 2l in it

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion Think were going to get the engine in and running tonight if all goes to plan.

Looks good, should have left the standard wheels on, loose the cage or at least spray it another colour. New steering wheel will really make a difference.

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion As jord said, all i have done before is change coilovers, seats, topmounts ect.... never done anything to do with an engine before. Just learning as i go. Just lucky that jord knows what he is doing to guide me through it. Im really enjoying the conversion and...
