Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread I bet there would have been zero on the old setup

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread may only be a few mm, but believe me, when me and chris had it jacked up and turned the passenger wheel it was making the gearbox/engine assy move from side to side because of the driveshaft being too long/ wishbones too short.

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Chris, make sure you check the length compared to your willy ones, to check the extra isn't gained from using a different bottom ball joint and it is the wishbone that is longer

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread :cool: And our front wings will allow us to go even wider :rasp:

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread yep 10-16mm wider than a willy widetrack we recon

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project hopefully only a week away! lol

me too, but my cup only runs the alternator now, much cheaper! ;)

How can they justify 116 quid for an aux belt! i paid a tenner for mine ( only drives the alternator tho)

thought you just meant a cambelt change! yeah probably is that sort of price with all the other bits

I know people think you're a guru, Fred, but £250 for a cambelt and pulleys? not last time i checked 18 months ago, more like £120 for parts from Renault

Thank-you that was me Daz

"some washers" is a bit gash tbh

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread It's got the valver curse! isn't that right f0xy!

You're right, swear i saw it on there, however the new catalogue doesn't list the shims for the mk2 either and the website says while stocks last. mmmmm guess they aint making them anymore! glad i've already got mine!

yep cos as far as i can recall the rear stub axle is the same P.s . go on whiteline.au to get the part number to then order from balancemotorsport

toe and camber shims from whiteline

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project :lolup:

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project just cable tie the compensator to the beam (forward from under the car) to allow max pressure through. might want to exercise it a bit first

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project brake problem could be the rear compensator. 3 weeks till marham, foxy!

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread LMAO at your weights for the sunroof!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Hurry up, you're about a week behind Whiteley's project.....;)

Spotted at RAF Marham today. mmmm not my taste........

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project f0xy, are you running a valver rev counter off a 172 coil pack? if reading half on scale and you have you may find they are not compatable. I'll try and explain later if you need me to

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread And windows! lol

i use a helix paddle clutch as i destroyed the original one at santa pod! Your spec is nearly the same as mine i still have short trumpets and forged rods. Where did you get your trumpets from as i'm struggling to get hold of some. I've also removed the pas too.

your mods won't be causing a noisy gearbox you've only added approx 20 ftlbs of power, if your gearbox is noisy, it's for other reasons

+1 on the gearbox myth. my car does santa pod and trackdays mainly. It doesn't get driven gently, however i can change gear properly and 18 months on, 180 ftlbs / 240 bhp ish it's still absolutly fine. ( and now on 77k miles) and the cup has a 129 g/b ( proper cup that is ;))

so you have itb's, high comp, and 423's. head work? anything else? i have itbs, high comp, forged rods, headwork,182 mani, and 2.5" custom 1 off exhaust. bearing in mind mine needs retuning, at the last check i had 211bhp @ 7.2k and 170 ftlb @ 5k (to 6.5k) i have 140ftlbs at 3k which is more...

Arp bolt the rods for deffo, and same valve lift as 422's so should work with the woosners. i recon the diff between that setup and mine will be a few more bhp higher up the rev range. Let me know, mate..... Daz

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project f0xy, how did you get the oil temp/ pressure to work on the 172, cos i really need it on mine with my setup as i can get hold of some valver guages
