im in london till late the night before =[

I booked it :D you should too!!! :D

Yeah don't blame you mate, did you get the car back okay? Hope your hand is better bud

Thats a great idea, I can get hte guys at burpspeed to sit in with me then as well should give me a bit more confidence!! However the cars MOT is due in August and I know its going to want some welding doing! Rear arches and the front sills are all fooked :p Yeah It's been like this since we...

Sooo after spending Sat at Coombe with the OPD guys I was pretty pissed off my car wasn't ready, after Chip taking me round track in Lesleys car several times I was properly eager to get mine finished off! So was very hungover this morning but my dad was eager to work on the car so I got into...

After spending all day trying to get the belt to stop jumping a tooth I have to accept its not going to coombe tomorrow :( I'm going to treat myself to an open pit lane track day when its finished as a treat instead :) I did also manage to wire in the rev counter and found a load of wire thats...

Hopefully if I am, I wont be used to it yet so wont be going for it on track tbh

I was of the opinion that if the 172 needed a chunky rad and fan than it would be a good idea to put this rad in, also I did follow the wiring guide to the letter the IGN live part was actually missed off

pmsl does it lock up at 100? :p p.s. got mine running today :D

Okay so today the main issue was fitting the 172 rad, easily the biggest PITA of the whole conversion, as you can see from this pic its alot wider than the valver unit and so wont fit into the recess in the subframe directly: So my dad cut a chunk out of my willy subframe: We planned to...

Crazy day today :) Knackered, piccies can show: Got post this morning courtesy of chip (Thanks mate :D ) I started by getting the running gear on, I wanted to get it running and then tomorrow spend getting it roadworthy so I can get tracking done and new tyres on ready for track day on Sat...

Really Really tempted by this, however I cant imagine running a 172 widetrack plus 15mm spacers is going to work well on my mk1 LOL

Okay today I had my dads help so we cracked on, first thing was to get the heatshield onto the 172 rack and then mount the full zorst system, remember this bracket? Well we chopped that little b*****d up and used it as a mount for the shield: In place: Got the manifold on: Got the...

Fag papers width is all you need :D

haha :) yeah thats one of the things I enjoy most about working on my cars is my dad getting involved

Love the way your dad helps you as well :)

​Okay so todays task was to get the pas pump on the car, 172 altenator fitted and aux belt tensioned. I knew it would take a while to sirt because it required a bit of figuring out, mattehs thread shows him using the original black mount on the altenator f**k knows how he managed that no way...

All about the Vee for me :)

yes its JayKay he is on C16v mostly but believe he has an acc and thread on here too :)

As of today everything that needs doing for coombe action day on the 27th April: Should be an interesting week next week

Will it be ready for coombe :)

This is what I expect this car to be like haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VK4IAAFrPo

Before and after pucs would be cool :-D

Hey guys. Im goign to be wiring the OBD port into my mk1, been doing some research and cant really find anything. How many wires are there connected to the port (I haven't removed from the car yet) I have included the two wires that go to the ecu onto the connector plug so they just need...

Cheers mate :D hopefully going to get it running this weekend, I found my spare valver pas brackets so will be able to get the altenator on this weekend too

Okay so got a text from my dad last night, he's finished the exhaust for me: As you can see we've used the standard 172 cat and shortened the center section instead - this means the car will still pass MOT's :) As mine is the twin lambda type cat as well I thought it would be important...

Thanks mate :)

When im in cov im over at Tile Hill :) will only be there for another month though

Sure thing! PM your way

I cant find a t-piece to fit the F4R block, does anyone know the thread type or where other have gotten their from? Cheers
