I seem to remember the option was there to download the complete set at the time, I only selected the few of mine though I'm afraid.

I've been through it all many many times, trying to find a viable solution whilst staying legal. In the end, I sold my nice car, put myself through the B+E trailer license, bought a Volvo with an 1800kg braked towing limit and bought an 1800kg gross Brian James Clubman which weighs 400kg...

All 4 wheels need to be off the ground, else what you're towing needs to be road legal, ie tax/MOT/insurance.

:approve: Glad to be of assistance. Sorry I didn't get back Saturday, I think I nearly slept until your race time. Takes it out of you this towing and track lark!

172 Cup hubs are the same as every other 172, ph1 or ph2. 182 CUP/packed are different.

Liking that! Was the Mk3 donor about shagged for £500, or are they just that cheap?

Fairly average :rasp:

That Scenic's brilliant!

I'm sure it was, orange ducting across the bottom grill gives it away. Very quick car if so!

DC5 was struggling to stay with you there! You wouldn't believe how much I want to race. Shame I can't use mine as it is, original engine needed etc.

Welcome, glad I could help! :)

Good going chaps, glad things came together :)

You looked to be going well in that video. I didn't realise who you were, apologies, I was in the (mainly) blue Mk1 Clio.

Black Golds were Ian_s and Meek_racing, Trophy was Sam@BTM, RB 182 was jenic, RB200 was ado and I was in the multicoloured Mk1 :)

Looking forward to seeing the car tomorrow. I might pop back on Saturday too if I'm free. How much is entry?

More than likely still need to file them down slightly. You just want them so they slide nicely in the carrier, not binding.

I did a 172 o/s shaft the other day with an ebay stretch boot. I'd definitely recommend taking the shaft out the car and sticking it in a vice. Soak the boot in boiling water for 10 mins beforehand too, softens it up a bit and helps stretch over the cone.

:(

I do miss mine :(

Good on you. Get stuck in.

See!

Pulleys removed to get that block out, but then what about the new complete engine with pulleys fitted? Drain the gearbox oil, take both shafts out and lift the lot out the top :)

G 172 on here, or Auto-nation are usually as cheap as anywhere for HC's mate.

I'd vote bolting the gearbox back on and lifting the block and box out together. It'll be even more of a pain in the arse trying to get the (built up) engine back in with the gearbox in situ.

Good stuff, see you at Donington :)

Crikey, 6 month bump. I'd considered this thread dead and had no intentions of bumping it myself! As said above, it's about there. A few more bits to do. I've foolishly booked myself into a trackday at Donington next friday, so that gives me just over a week. I'm going to get the mechanical...

I think you'd have been more pissed off if the wheel fell off with me driving!

Just had a catch up, I'd not seen the last couple of pages. Are the swivel hub bearings not replaceable on their own, hence a complete hub? Awesome design if so! One of mine was getting fairly bad too, just before I jumped ship. Your injector collection is rediculous; I felt hard done by...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Tarty track car, of course it is.

Your M33? :rasp: Stay silver IMO mate.
