Just fancy something a bit different. But I'm guessing some cams and maybe ITBs would be a cheaper option! Just liked the sound of a 197 head on a 172 with all the internals aswell. Decisions in the next few months.

So after I get the Immobiliser sorted on the 172 rally car i have built. I will be looking at sourcing a 2nd engine and developing it myself. My question is I'm looking to get around 200-210bhp. Plus. How? Well I'm looking for answers here really. Obviously choice would be a set of throttle...

Either that or the earth that's the only 2 things I can think of. You know the battery negative terminal of that is 2 smaller earth wires with a square spade connector. Where does that go? I had it on the chassis. Don't know if that's a problem also

Thought I would fit the loom tonight but that almost went up in smoke. So it's back to the drawing board on the wiring side of life. Thinking of sourcing a new engine loom and interior loom and starting again to be honest. Found multiple problems in the loom once I investigated this one being...

Have a look at this mate might be the problem. What do you recon??

Basically cut a long story short I've done a 172 conversion for rallying. All loom and plugs connected up. Installed new battery and as soon as I connected the earth it sparked and the started motoring didn't stop spinning. Only waited 2sec before disconnecting straight away. Is this a bad...

@scotiamr2t any links or pics as to what you have done mate!

Happy days mate cheers.

Been to a few rally's !ate and just seen them run braided line from the fuel pump to the rail. All seemed to use the standard fuel rail. But then again I think maybe its done on a budget?

Gents I am after some advice with regards to braided fuel lines. I am building a budget rally car, and looking to Install some braided fuel line from the pump to the fuel rail, and a bit unsure of the size and what connectors to purchase. Any recommendations advice is most welcome

Like the look of this mate. bit of a pain are those sills im sure you can get some to do a bit of fabrication. Got all the right bits on engine side of things though. Bet it goes well indeed.

I have beriefly looked at their website, and got a few things off there already like the spherical top mounts and strut brace which are quality products.

Unfortunately due to being away from home so much and a lack of funds at the moment. I have concentrated much of my time and budget into the geometry of the suspension set-up. Rallying is a lot about reliability and having the correct setup / tyres. I mean there's technically 172bhp available...

Can't believe I ain't touched the car for over two months. However managed to purchase an engine crane which made life a he'll of a lot easier. After an hour or.two of messing around it was in its new home. Hopefully next weekend I can have a good tidy up get the loom sorted and get...

Paul i have the exact same routing for the brake line but looking to do the same really replacing the copper for braided hoses. Just wondering what brake fittings tou actually used and what sizes really' seen so many different versions. Any recommendations of companies? Cheers

legend cheers for your help

Any help is welcome mate cheers

Ah s**t alright mate. My building a rally car at the moment. Sourced a car with no engine and box. So ive bought them sperately. And now ive come to put them together i have none of the bolts. Im guess 3 on top and a few underneath

Gents anyone shed any light on the bolt size i require for the gearbox bellhousing to block. Many thanks

roger mate

I have been building a track Clio over the last few months, and need some advice on the following. I currently have a JC5 129 Gearbox which i believe is from a 172 Cup? and need to clarify what drive shafts fit this gearbox. Many thanks

Not too shabby for my 1st ever project. Next its looking at purchasing a engine crane unless somebody in south wales hires them. And attempt to get the engine back in.

Also rebuilt the whole front suspension which now has proflex black series all round. New coilovers. New pms top mounts and bearings. Pms strut brace. New hubs. New track rod ends. New anti roll bar yellow series bushes and a refreshed anti roll bar. Also installed some new front vented and...

So aint really done an update for a while as funds were a bit low due to moving house. On the plus side i have a new garage to play with. Anyhow back to the car. Decided to go with a standard 172 set up at the moment. And look at improvements in the near future. Pretty happy that the engine...

Im doing the same but have been sent the wrong cables any ideas where to get a set from that i know will fit correctly

Any news / updates on this mate? How you getting on with your project??

What size battery cable dos you use mate 170AMp?? Also what battery terminals did you use? I'm reallocating mine to the boot.

@Mash. How have you wired this up mate. I am currently doing the same thing. Fast Slow Off How are you feeding power to it?? Theough the loom or individual supply?
