Sound Loud but nice!

To help, my engine is a 2002 1.2 8v D7F engine, and Rob's is a 1.2 16V 2004 Dynamique engine!

I was thinking the box would be okay to use!, can someone please confirm the rest? need to get my car running again!

My car is in major need of a bottom end, and think i have found a tidy one! its Rob91's. Was going to buy his entire engine and drop it in but he is now splitting it. His engine was a 1.2 16V engine, and mine is a 1.2 8V engine. Could i use my head on that block? the CC is the same, just not...

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion Sent you a few PM's now mate, not sure if your recieving them though? Good work by the way! Was nice to see what was done because i will be using 172 subframe, hubs, wishbones etc on mine so was nice to see some pics on how its done!

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion Looks like your flying through this Rob, project looks great! Sent you a PM btw..

Anyone? Need to know this soon!

Need to replace my current 1.2 8v clio engine because the rings have gone, and along with other problems, its just cheaper and easier to swap the engine. Have been offered a 1.2 16v engine, gearbox, looms, ECU, clocks etc for a VERY good price which i cant really let go to someone else. Just...

Got up early and cracked on, by lunch time i had re mounted the ECU, and got the battery terminal linked, and everything working again.. Above the ABS block there is a hole in the bodywork as you can see in the pics, i wanted to mount it to that, but because of the ABS sysem being in the way i...

Small update. Got my father to find some 6mm ali sheet in work and i made the front blanking plate and a little circle one for the back both ready to be welded in place... All i got left to do is make one for that big hole on the back, and then i can start to design the second part of the...

Not really?... Like i stated above, it basically pays for my fuel back and forth from college and thats it? I get £20 a week, to make a trip of 6 miles, twice a day, 5 days a week, not forgetting going to get lunch.

Just a very simple engine and easy to tune. only wanting about 200bhp, wont be needing anything else, so decided to use that, i also have lots of bits left over from my previous C1J build i did years ago. Dont have a time scale as the EMA is basically fuel money. Things are starting to look up...

cheers champ!

Awesome, will message you now.

What are stub axles? only just looking into doing this.

Thanks, but what i mean is does it have to be model specific? like a CUP for example? or can it be any 172 beam? Cheers.

Update: As part of the Fuel injection build i have to design a Inlet manifold and fuel rail. I wanted to keep it looking origional and factory based, so decided to buy a 172 sport top inlet manifold and Cable throttle body from Budgie on here for a fantastic price. Plans are to chop it up, weld...

Update: Decided to run the battery relocation cable today, and mount the box. 1st thing i did was solder the battery terminal connections on the end, then ran this from the boot to the engine bay, going behind the pannels on the passenger side of the car. When i got to the passenger footwell i...

Well, im gonna build a fuel injection R5 Gtt engine and put it in, lol. will do an update later about the battery box, had a couple of hours to myself today so decided to crack on..

Decided to launch a new project, had this idea in my head before but never went through with it because of money. Although i am still only receiving EMA from going to college, i have a few interviews coming up, and also just left a lifeguarding job and looking for another, so hopefully will...

I have a 1.2 8v 2002 ph2mk2 clio, and want to run 172 brakes all around, becuase they are disks on the back etc, ready for when my project engine goes in. What beam do i need? can it be any 172 beam? Cheers.

I know its only a track car, but after all your efforts, i thought it would have been sence to cover it up or not grind right next to the car. Sparks will melt into the paint. Other than that, Great work! Looks Great.

Yeah deffo. I have a compression tester but let my mate borrow it, was quicker to build it up, try it, and if it failed strip it down and fix it, than to wait for him to get it back to me. Least its going again now. Sounds so much nicer now i done the gaps ontop too.

Was the 2 valves, all built up again, Rocker gaps re-set, runs like a new engine now.

I knew they were all sparking, and wanted to remove the head to make sure everything was alright, only cheap parts for it anyway so didn't mind. Found out tonight after a strip down i got 2 bent exhaust valves, hoping to have it running again tomorrow. :)

Im sure you will either need a higher or lower rated ohm resister? and will sort it?

Yeah Definatly meant to be a gasket there, although that looks like its been bodged. Get a PTFE one ;)
