Re: Road/Track 172 I think ive sourced a loom thanks to Silent_Scone :cheers: , so will be ordering sensors and connection lead from Omex next week. Does anyone have a Omex file for ITB and cams(willing to pay) they can email me to get the car running. Just so I can check a few things over...

Dont fancy making another one do you Dan :)

Phil im going to be running Pico injectors in mine, so I could send my standard ones down to try and see if it cures the miss if you want.

1. Is the vac supply to the carbon canister this can be removed but I believe it will bring a dash light on. On a side note if you want to sell the 172 coil pack mount give me a pm.

Im already on it Phill :rasp:

Thanks Chip I take it you would use the Aux 2 output rather than the VTech function on the ECU so you can set a cut in and cut out point.

I know its been covered before but never seen a post with a direct answer so dont flame me :) Im going to be running a Omex 600 ecu so as far as i can make out the ecu will run semi stand alone needing Direct Live Switched Live Earth Coolant Sensor Air temp Sensor Lambda Sensor Piggy backed...

2 of my mates have similar spec 106 gti's for the track and they leave my 172 , so having to add cams and Jenveys to keep up :)

Thanks I noticed alot of the kits have a mount that sits almost in the original position, but I would prefer to have it at the end of the head to.

Ive seen a couple of cars in the project section with the coilpack mounted on the end of the head, is this a mount that somone sells or are they a DIY part.

Im hoping to fit my 197 cams in a few weeks , hopefully to Mikes timing settings will be intresting to see how they work on a ITB car.

If you still have the Omex loom and want to sell it give me a shout, as going to order one next week from Omex if I cant find one before then.

Re: Road/Track 172 Well bought a Omex 600 ecu today along with a Reverie backplate for my filter to give a bit of extra clearance for the fuel rail. Just need to order up a loom and sensors from Omex while Im offshore so everything should be ready to get it running when I get home in 3 weeks.

Re: Road/Track 172 I left the original crimped end at the pedal end as it fits into a plastic pivot, for the ITB linkage end I used the fitting that came with the Jenvey kit. Its just a normal cable end with 2 small grub screw pinch bolts.

Re: Road/Track 172 Yes i have used the phase one pedal and cable , when you unbolt the FBW pedal use the bottom mounting plate you need to drill one 6mm hole. The way i fitted it was to use one of the original holes as a dowel then drill the bolt hole to clamp the pedal , then it was then just...

Re: Road/Track 172 Well got the manual pedal fitted today and the cable run, the movement is realy smooth and pedal position is almost exactly the same as the old pedal. I have also trimmed the front panel, moved the standard rad forward and started to remove the original wiring, im not sure...

Re: Road/Track 172 Nope not tried it yet but will give it a shot tomorrow and let you know.

Re: Road/Track 172 Im planning on making a metal fitting on the lathe that is the same as the original fitting on the plastic rail, that will then cross over to a -6 fitting to go onto the new rail. The pedal came from a phase 1 172 they came with a manual throttle body, so I think the padal...

Re: Road/Track 172 I bought the pedal off of ebay £20 with the original cable. Could you post a pic of the take offs if you get a chance, I can see the blanks of my manifold but they will need drilled and tapped for push fit fittings. I also have an Idea for the fuel line that may mean I can...

Re: Road/Track 172 Well had a couple of hours on the clio last few days, engine mounts,suspension mounts fitted along with the poly dogbone mount. Ive also tried to tidy up the door panel trims as the fit on them is very poor. Then since the car isnt going to get used due to me being away...

Ive already emailed the guy about that , just waiting to hear back from him justnow about the spec of loom.

I'm in a similar position as I have the bodies, injectors and filters and I would think I'm still looking at atleast another £1000 for management and mapping.

Will be interesting to see how long it stays 300 bhp before the big power engine gets fitted from his escort cosworth project.

Ritchie's KA is cool as even better since he also has a sport ka in the same colour to use to bait people. That was its first show as its still not fully finnished that's why it looks so clean but if it's like any of his other cosworths it will get used well.

Re: Road/Track 172 Now I have a range rover sport as a daily and the clio and shifter kart as toys.

Re: Road/Track 172 The brakes were fine they were smoking a fir bit after a 15 min session but had no fade at all. They are brembo disks with ds2500 pads. I'm running 60mm trumpets but had problem with the backing plate hitting te rail so have put 20mm spacers in giving a 80mm trumpet and...

Re: Road/Track 172 Suspension parts to be fitted. Power parts :) I need to make a new backing plate or may buy a bigger filter ,this one is fairly tight to the side of the trumpets but does have good clearance at the mouths. Im running Jenveys,20mm jenvey spacers,backing plate then 60mm...

Re: Road/Track 172 Well first track day and it was faultless , I did 3 sessions and my mate took it out for another 2. Hope to get the uprated engine mounts and top mounts sorted for the next time out. Was a good few clips out and it seemed to hold its own against them.

Re: Road/Track 172 I just called to check spaces for one of my mates and it's sold out. I will be taking it easy as first ttime on track with the clip and first time driving the track in reverse.

Re: Road/Track 172 Thanks the pacific escort was a really nice car that ended up on the cover of Fastford, but the 996 turbo is the only one I really regret selling. It was close to 600 bhp with Moton 2 way coilovers, amongst a load of other high end mods.
