Re: Road/Track 172 Just the general fit at the sides, I'm going to cut and mold in a bit of the original fog light surround to give a better fit.

Re: Road/Track 172

Re: Road/Track 172 Had a couple of hours on the car today but didn't achieve much , the cup brake ducts fit badly but I've got a plan so few hours with some fg and they should look ok. Got the roll center hubs fitted then tried an alloy on and noticed the bearing in one of them is shagged so...

Really hope this car lives up to all your expectations,when you get it back. I was in the same position with a escort cosworth years ago ,and once I got the car back after almost a year it lasted 4 months before being broken for parts.

Is it a case of massive over fueling causing bore wash ?

Still can't find the 145 ratios anywhere online

Re: Road/Track 172 Nope a gripper diff is still on the shopping list for later in the year.

Re: Road/Track 172 Numbers 1 and 2 aswell as its sitting on stands with no hubs fitted justnow :), I want to fit the gauges aswell so we can keep an eye on it when on the rollers. It was over 210 the last time with the bodies and cams , but I've just had the head ported and went to 12.8:1 comp...

Re: Road/Track 172 Got booked in for the 1st of Feb to drop the car off at Sitech for mapping, which gives me 3 days when i get home to get it ready and have a few jobs to do. 1.Fit roll center hubs 2.Fit oil pressure and temp gauges 3.Fit cup car brake cooling ducts 4.Aerocatch the front...

Those are exhaust ports he is showing the size difference between phase 2 , and phase 1 exhaust ports. The gasket is for a phase 1 which has 30% bigger ports as standard.

Re: JC5-140 Ratios Do you know what the gearing in them is ment to be like to as in is it fairly close ratio? I can't find the ratios for the 145 anywhere but have found a place listing that box so have emailed them.

Re: JC5-140 Ratios Sorry Yanoo I have just re read the PM and it is actualy a JC5-145 box not a 140 do you have the ratios for this box. It has also been fitted with a 4.5 final drive, thats how i got the lower speed when working out the 140 box as with the standard FD it will do 140mph.

Re: JC5-140 Ratios Thanks alot going by those ratios and the low final drive , the speeds are way too low for what i need topping out at 102mph.

Re: JC5-140 Ratios Pm sent thanks

Does anyone have a list of the jc5-140 box ratios please ? I've had a look and can't find anything other than it was fitted to the 1.5dci clios.

Going to a 84mm bore will give 2061.54cc ,I think thats the largest off the shelf pistons you can buy.

I think the pic that Gaz has put up is not very clear, Im sure in his own post it shows it better and i think he has dog legged the end so it transfers load to the floor. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g122/Gaz-M/Clio%20Cup/A48C6A50-F588-4585-ABC0-8327541396E9_zpssi9t6vot.jpg

Are you wanting pics of one already ported ?

Only place I would use local to me would be Anderson Engineering , but Agra in Dundee have a decent rep aswell.

Easily sorted I just opened out a standard gasket a little and fitted that , but gives an idea of how much the ports can be opened out.

Thats the spec I went with Kelv ,ported head, super tech valves, catcam springs,cams and jenveys. I actualy lost the o ring groove on my jenvey inlet once it had been matched to the head ports :cry:

Hell no not been near ava for about 10 years :cry: Yes simon that owns sitech and does alot of FRS(ive sold my 500bhp one), but he also mapped my clio last year after i fitted my jenveys, cams and omex. Im hoping to drop it off at the start of feb for mapping again since ive just built a high...

Simon from Sitech did mine as a favour, as he will be mapping my car again. ALD on here looks to do real nice work and at a very fair price.

The guy that did my head left the inlet slightly ruffer than the exhaust, to help keep a little turbulence to help the mix.

That is standard they are CNC finished at the factory, I thought the same when I first took mine off. This is a ported head

I don't sorry I'm home from Norway next week so can get some then but it's easy enough once you get them in place it becomes clear.

I think with the seals and a couple of screws from the inside you should bet a good seal on the front windows , I had to put serews in from both sides as my doors are a bit more flexy.

The one on the video is getting fitted to a phase 2 , is the kit you bought for a phase 1 ??

Nice one Frazer I just fitted a full set of blacks to the front end of mine.

Last time I weighed mine it came in at 957kg with half a tank of fuel, that was basic stripped interior with a 6 point cage and 2seats. Since then I have fitted a full set of polycarbonate windows, carbon bonnet,gutted tailgate and fiberglass doors so now hope to be around 900kg will weigh it...
