Yeah dude, and this time we actually have to say hi, I think we have been meaning to say hi for the past 3 years at Combe lol

Not at the mo, il be lucky if this one does more than 100 miles this year! Taking my time with it, not going over board, but no real need to rush - im hoping to have it mobile for the Combe action day in Sept, hoping the cage will be in by then. Got a few new ideas id like to try with it too

Got some catching up to do, my 'new' one is only on 121k lol

What was BHP at the wheels mate? Flywheel bhp is always estimated, so for a standard 172 you would hope for around 140ish at the wheels

It all falls down to your budget. For a noticeable gain, and a generally well known good setup is as follows: Panel filter (the ph1 172 airbox is a good design) Cat back exhaust (You can remove the cat, but the ph1 cat does flow pretty well - if you rempve it it will be a lot louder)...

Still will be sad to not see this great little car bombing about mate!

Sad days :(

Any way of finding out what member? Might be worth a quiet word in case they don't read this thread. Gutted I missed it, hope it will be on next year

Id start by getting the fault codes checked and changing the oil for some 5w40 - then see how it is

Bhp will be around 185 ish as its fairly standard, and I think top speed is circa 155ish on gps (I remember reading somewhere Foxy saying that)

^^ surely not the oil pressure light mate?

In what way?

As said Oil pressure sender Wiring fault Low oil Oil pump fault But as you say is goes when driving id say low oil pressure on idle could be (putting it basic) engine wear :( What oil do you have in there now? Too thin and it could be letting the pressure go too low

Small update, OZ's now on :) On temp until I can have the time for a refurb, and new tyres

350Z was a lucky save! What impresses me most about yours is how late you can brake - plus how stable under braking it seems for such a light car. Shame it will be broken - worth offering it for sale as complete? As a track car you cant ask for much better

yours takes speedo reading off trigger wheel on driveshaft

How weird Mark, id guess at a sensor with a dodgy connection and hitting the limiter (with the sudden juddering) makes it break?

Tar dude :)

Barstard lol, if Rich from Launch Motorsport is there (Probably running his Red Tommy Mak Evo, or a White Scooby) tell him Russ says hi, iv been meaning to pop over and see him.

You must have a weird set of ratio's or a misleading speedo to have that much variance in speed! 100mph was on the 7500 in my old VTS in 3rd, where 4th only ran to 127 @ 7500

Malmesbury innit Yo

lol twas about the same in my black one, i want to try a 172cup box out in mine

Glad im not the only one lol

Voodoo?

Im at work this morning anyway, and with both Clio's in pieces I need to consentrate on getting them sorted before anything else lol

This ^

145mph ish (limiter in 5th) in my mk1 Clio.

Paul's mapping FTW. Looks nice mate

they can handle 7800 - but i wouldnt want to go above that - especially as standard power is around 6700 It shouldnt return to a normal limit, id say either the rev counter had a funny 5 mins or they moved the cold limiter up to 7200 from 6500

Mine had 140k, 195bhp and had the arse fapped out of it every day lol - they dont loosen up till 100k imo
