Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Good work. I need to crack on some with mine now!

May I suggest doing ALOT more research first then. It's not the easiest of swaps. And without being rude, this is my thread :D

1.8 16v Gearbox. Any JB/JC box can be used though as long as it has a speedo drive output. Loom is a mixture of 172 and valver, DIY job. Easy? Depends how good with spanners and a multimeter you are.

Inside one, outside another.

Will do :)

The allen headed part at the top of the shocks are fooked, but the nuts came off no problem with a windy gun. I've had someone else ask about them, so if he doesnt want them then they'll be available :)

Different final drives.

Aye why not :headno:

For the track car. This past year I've been running Williams fitment Bilstein dampers and some crappy springs. They worked well TBF. Then GAZ adjustable dampers on the back which f0xy now has. http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/whiteley/IMG_1473.jpg

I say no.

:o It'll probably look like a 3yr old painted it with a brush, but I'm having a go :star:

Motivation seems to have returned a little, I've spent 2 whole hours in the garage tonight!! Tidied up AGAIN, I'm useless at keeping the place clean. Now I have enough room to work again and hopefully crack on with some grinding this week. My new air sander also turned up in the post the...

Yesterday I did 350 miles in the daily Valver and made a few collections. First was a pair of doors. They happen to be off a Cup Racer for added coolness. The reasoning behind having another pair is that my current doors look like this: Now in the summer I'm more than likely going to...

It's working?!? :eek:

No probs, I'd been meaning to come up for a while :)

It really is. Part of me keeps thinking 'why did I bother messing with it', when I could have quite easily just parked it up as it was for a few months and forgotten about it. All the progress I've just posted happened about a month ago, since then I've barely touched it! I want it back on the...

Right then, some progress to bring us upto date. Started stripping the car down. Doors off, boot off, windows out, sunroof out etc. The seats have already been sold so they'd gone previously: I'd bonded the rear polycarbs in before which caused a bit of hassle for taking them out...

Lost cause Dave, lost cause! :sleepy:

Yep, we just have no balls for not wanting a supercharged 172. Nail on the head :rolleyes:

Not specific to the ktec kit, but worth a read to get other peoples opinions. Your decision and your money at the end of the day though: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=475451

Big thread/arguement on it not so long ago. Daft IMO.

Well, I had plans, now I'm not sure. Feel like breaking the car at the moment and starting something fresh whilst I can. :sleepy:

+ = RIP :quiet:

Good to see proper seat cushions are back in, not your riggy effort blue things!

Lovely, they look so good standard. Enjoy it :)

Re: THE MEET - Yorkshire/midlands etc etc - 23/01/10 Assuming the postcode is WF10 4TA as per earlier in thread then it'd be A57>A1 for me.

Re: THE MEET - Yorkshire/midlands etc etc - 23/01/10 I'll maybe come, wherever suits. Shouldn't have spent so much on the Turdbo DMS then you could drive it instead..

Is the tri-bearing thing the same as the n/s shaft? I have a few spares if so.

Nice setup that, enjoy it :)

Primarily a Mk2> forum, you'll get used to the lack of Mk1 <3.
