Gents I'm after some help.
Replacing brake lines on the clio using a 1.6 master cylinder and splitting the front brakes.
The two holes on the master cylinder seem to be different sizes.
M10, M12 at a guess anyone shed any light on this for me.
Cheers
gents thinking of purchasing PMS top mounts and strut bar, for my rally car build.
Advantages over OEM, and any bad results.
I'm guessing by the looks of it comes in two main parts one for the top of the coilovers and one for on top of the car strut hole, drill through with 3 bolts and that's...
Happy days cheers for that.
I'm in the process of building a 172 Tarmac rally car too. However it's a non cup so looking to swap where possible to cup parts.
Am I right in thinking that if I use a 172 cup subframe, hubs, wishbones etc.. That it gives a wider track?
Good morning gents,
After some advice regarding who people use to build their engines on here?
I'm quite confident with most things except timing, and changing piston rings, bearings etc...
Ideally looking at doing this at the end of summer as the car is under going a full nut and bolt...
ACW Motorsport will beat any company out ther and do a better job.
99% of rally cars bein built use him, he's a really top bloke and will do you a good deal
Simple reason is I know for a fact I can do it for much less than 2k, to a better than standard state.
Most things will be upgraded as it started as a 1.6 rally car.
Kind of undesand where your coming from, but most of it has been done hence the reason I didn't wanna buy another 172 car.
All...
I am currently converting my 1.6 K4M into a 172 and need some guidance on the following.
What's the difference between 1.6 and 172 lower wishbone Arms??
Can I mount these onto the 1.6 subframe, and use Strongflex bushes, or do I need a 172 subframe.
Will I need 172 coilovers as I'm guessing...
Cheers mate, but more power but more headaches to get it all up and running.
I just need to clarify as long as I have a 172 interior loom, engine loom, UCH, clocks, ECU and Key in theory I should be onto a winner.
The only doubt I have is does the ECU need some sort of unlocking ??
Right Gents decided to listen to a few members on here and decided to go down the 172 route as my K4M doesn't run VVT and not too sure how I would get around it on the twingo 133 engine.
The plan is to purchase a full interior and engine loom, UCH, Clocks, ECU key and engine.
I'm pretty decent...
After some advice, im planning on running a twingo 133 engine instead of my K4M clio version, with a few extra mods, balanced flywheel, uprated CAMs, and a bit of head porting.
the real querries I have is that the original engine in the clio was a non VVT one, so will my current ECU still run...
So I've been toying with the idea of putting a K4M engine in my clio that I will be using for short Tarmac venue rallies.
I'm not looking at spending millions, and the reason being I haven't used a 172,182 is that I fancy developing something a bit different.
I've been doing a bit of research...
Got a fair bit achieved again tonight, progress is progress as they say.
Decided to get all the mud and durt off the underside of the car before sealing it.
One thing lead to another and I found myself fully removing the rear beam and fuel tank, and cleaning inspecting the lot. Just waiting...
Nearly every Rally car to date uses them, potentially buying 2nd hand ones was the reason here?
I've done a lot of research, spoken to many people. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea.
Finally finished one or two things that I'm happy with and put back in the car, Not much but it's a start on putting it back together.
1stly gave the wiper arms a run down. Bit of primer and sprayed them Matt black, looks a bit better than the old rusty ones.
Next I gave the washer bottle a...
Gents need some help I'm going to be replacing at the bushes in the car over the next two months.
Going to start with the front first.
Just need some help on where to purchase them from and any deals going on at the moment.
Quite a bit more done today. Trial fitted the Mark Fish Cage 6 point with cross door bars and harness bars it's a thing of beauty!
As I bought it 2nd hand any ideas where I can get the Feet plates!
Tried Mark fish on Facebook but unable to send messages for some reason.
Also managed to...
Hi mate cheers for the Reply.
Glad someone thinks so haha!
I get where the boys are coming from to stick a 172 in it, but that's further down the line.
I'm probably gonna get the 750mc cage and that sorted 1st then buy the 133 engine.
I've got a few questions for yourself. CAMs I'm looking at...
So on I cracked again with the whole stripping process, tonight was mainly a clean up of the bay again, along with removing that sticky tar like substance and prep ready for painting.
White spirit really does work a treat in order of cleaning it up nicely!
As you can see I have already...
