UPDATE - Areodynamics
The car is still dead but i decided to do what i had wanted to do ages ago but chickened out.
Now your either going to say today was a waist of time or you'll agree with me that what i have done may help, even if its just a little bit.
So the rear bumper acts as a big...
Hi, there are never any big meets near us but when i get my car up and running we'll go for a photo shoot somewhere. Track car Vs Standard Car
If you need any help with fitting stuff just let me know :)
Wow 400bhp,
Are you actually gona use the 400bhp?
I mean are you just going to drive it like a granny changing gear at 2,500 rpm so it doesnt cost you loads to run? Or will you have fun in it and get the back end out and maybe do a lil drifting?
All about how much fun you'd get out of it...
Its difficult to say, I didnt notice a difference when it was removed. But when the 13 point cage went in i could tell straight away that the whole car felt a lot tighter.
Yeah you can modify that pipe to go the other way. The brake servo pipe runs to the rear left hand side of the engine behind it so you can just cut a big chunk off the pipw and run the pipe on teh ITB's left instead of right.
Laxy on here did that and i will at some point
Right i'm going to plug the laptop into the OMEX and try figure out how to see RPM (might need to ring someone who is familar with OMEX software to help me), need to see if i'm getting 250-300 rpm when cranking, If i'm not then i'll check the looms :S
STILL DOESNT START!
My new TDC sensor arrived today, fitted it, turns over but STILL doesnt fire.
I pulled a spark plug out and earthed in to the car and turned it over but it didnt spark at all.
Am i doing it right?
When you turn the ignition on, all these relays in the engine bay click a...
I have the exhaust, i had it with the cat for a few days and it produced a nice sound, with the centre silencer i would have thought it would be even quieter. Great exhaust. I have a few videos on youtube.
Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project
Now you'v finally finished modifing it and you get another years fun out of it i recon you should try putting it back to standard. Probably take you two years to do that lol.
Finally got my angle grinder today so i could attempt to finish the single wiper conversion. I took my camera out with me evpecting it to take 1 or 2 hours to get it right but it actually only took me 30mins to do and finish so i didnt take any in the end.
So i've just taken one of the...
God i thought i felt bad spending 6K on my clio, oooof 50k......... on a clio
As someone said above at least its been done professionally, still not my cupa tea
Well the R888's weigh 7 or 8 kg and the skicks only weigh 5 or 6 kg so i'm saving a little bit of weight from the tyres :)
I know i'v been meaning to get rid of it for ages but just keep putting it off because of funds :(
I'm going to use a Seat rad like the Burpspeed boys are using on their...
Re: Help! Just bought a 182 (54 plate) cutting out, engine mngmnt + injection light o

UPDATE:
So after breaking down coming back from the Nurburgring (20miles from home :) ) I lost a little bit of love for the car. Eventually decided to sort it out and found out the alternator power cable had snapped. After a lot of farting around with other bits and bobs i got the car back...
