Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project
Some cars (vw's and vauxhalls for example) have a removable switch behind the barrel, the key in effect slides through the barrel, abd turns the slot in the ignition switch to start the car, by the sounds of it your barrel has the switch in built, so id start...
Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project
Id say definately a dodgy barrel, do these run a convensional ignition switch on the back of the barrel? Id say its that if they do
Quick vid, my mate who was filming forgot to look through the camera lol

lol your not mate, easy mistake to make.
To be honest its pretty rare i see any 1*2 on the road these days, Ph1's very rare, god knows where they have all gone
Mate, they are talking about the ph1 172, you have posted pics of a ph2.
IMO the ph1's are easily spotted as a sport, where the ph2's 172's are hard to see if they are actually 172's
ha lol true true mate, people think its easy but it takes so much practice to get good consistent runs, as you well know.
Stiffer suspension is needed too, mines lifting up load at the front on launch.
Whats your best time in the willy?
To give you an idea matey, there were 2 other 172's there, one ran 15.0 the other 15.2 i think.
Average was as Dan states around the 15sec mark, bearing in mind only has a cat back exhaust(cat is still in), itb's and 136,000 miles, I think with only 5 runs thats not a bad time :)
Seems about...
Hi matey, thank you for the kind words!
It was very warm, even with it not running and with the bonnet up I still couldnt get it to cool down, so I think you getting that time with how warm it was its bloody good :)
Yours looked mint btw!
only 5 or 6 mate (cant remember) it was ok in the morning, but got stupid busy in the afternoon, was waiting over an hour for a run, so gave up, stuffed myself full of hot dogs, watched from the stands then came home lol
