You checked its not a ringer?

See funny thing is he told me to go into 4th there just as I passed the pit lane. i was overtaking much quicker when I changed into 4th then when I stayed in third the whole straight

Just emailed you :) thanks :-D

Yeah was great fun :D no problem at all! Was good to get an idea of your lines across the track :)

Sooo went to the burpspeed Llandow trackday as I thought it would be a great place to start, car was fantastic all day never missed a beat and I got home in it as well! However after a quick look yesterday this seems to be the aftermath: This is probably the best tyre: CV Boot is still intact...

you could prob make it fit if you cut out the front subframe mounts from a mk2 and made them fit the mk1 but what would be the point? Other than clearance for a supercharger or AC Pump

No it was painted lol check it out in the link, was held in place by self tappers

I remember seeing one in a mini made out of plastic plumbing tube let me try and ind it for u guys edit: found it, wasnt in a mini though: http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=490661

Haha its a good thing I love it mate ;-)

Heres my list: leaky sunroof/aerial front bumper needs replacing rear bumper needs replacing sills rotten rear arches rotten interior ripped oil pressure guage doesnt work respray needed wheel refurb needed only getting 20mpg o2 sensor dead (rstuner says so anyway) can smell of fuel...

F4R converted valver: Best: Engine, handling, looks, remap, FUN worst: No time to drive it

​Thanks mate :-) hes going to be changing the sills and arches next month - cant wait :)

Found the reason the exhaust was blowing - the flange on te manifold had a big low spot so using a belt sander took the whole flange down to the smar level put it all back together no more blowing woohoo! re-bled the brakes and chopped out the tabs in the arches as they were catching the...

​Passed MOT :-) llandow here I come!!!!

​Soo I havent updated this for a while, been working in London and inc commute it works out as roughly 14 hour days. Anywho So as you guys know my rear arches arnt really there so I bought some pov spec panels for my magician of a father to make fit the valver, this will be done around...

Threw mine in bin have you got any pics

more grip on the front than the rear makes the back end kick out, I have experienced

Sooo fgot my RSTuner working woohoo and it gave me these 6 trouble codes: Now obv the O2 sensor is self explanatory and Im guessing I get the air con code because, well, I dont have the aircon pump installed. What I would like to know is what are the other 4 about and can I get it to stop...

All sorted, Henk is a total legend. Basically all my bad, I didnt relise I had to unlock the RSTuner before it would connect to my car - seems kind of obvious now haha. Anyway thanks Henk - definitely would recommend buying brand new for the support alone! Although it is actually cheaper to go...

I have emailed Henk, but I was wondering if it was a quick fix or not :/ so basically its because I havent got the airbag module is what you guys are saying?

I finally got my OBD Port wired in to the MK1: OBD Pins -> ECU Pins Pin 7 Pin 56 Pin 15 Pin 26 Pin 16 to Ign Live Pin 4 to earth I went to connect the RSTuner to my ecu and it came back saying the VIN was unrecognised, its brand new and...

Hi Guys, Im trying to wire in the MK2 OBD Port into my mk1 running an F4R. I have wired Pin 7 from the OBD Port to Pin 56 On the ECU and Pin 15 from the OBD Port to Pin 26 on the ECU All as per f0xys wiring guide. Now I found a mistake with f0xys guide before and wanted to know if this was...

Sooo yesturday was my last day for prep work on the clio before fcs. I had a 206 leather black gear stick gaiter lying around so made it fit my valver to match my black center console better than the hideous grey thing my girlfriend sewed up my seats as they were ripped: Modified the...

Yeah theres a guy on c16v with a 20vt conversion and has pics of the mounts on there so probably go that way in future. that said a b18 would br novelty especially if the mini has 1 aswell

yeah? I was kinda hoping to use a diff plenum because I like the look of the 172 head without a plenum LOL :o

Problem with the 197 head Dan is that the plenum sits higher so wont go under a mk1 bonnet, the 172 plenum only just fits. Sorry i should of been clearer from the start. Its a mk1 with 172 engine looking to turbo charge and I know its possible to do in a mk1 with a 225 head but I was hoping to...

Thats why im asking about the 250 head fitting :) Looking to turbo convert and want to use the head and internals from a meggy.

So today after having my ass handed to me by an audi s5 I came to the conclusion more power is needed!!!! Im interested in putting a meggy 250 head on a 172 block what I want to know is will it fit like the 225 head does? Cheers! Craig

what was it 172? 182? I had someone flash me yesturday in my mk1

I need to buy a couple of decent cups, the rate there getting written off be worth a pretty penny in 5 years
