Real sad news Karl with the white car must be gutted, its just had a lot of work done to it and must of been one of the best Saffs on the road. Sounds like the guy in the silver car was showing off and never seen the cars infront brake, and going buy the damage must of got the 1 and 5 mixed up...

Re: Road/Track 172 Uprated engine mounts now sorted , so what are people recomendations for top mounts ?

Re: Road/Track 172 Anyway back to the track clio :p Plans are fit the poly bush kit to the dogbone mount, then lookout for uprated engine mounts and top mounts. If the buyer does not take LewisTaylors throttle boddies I may well end up with them, giving the bonus of more power and the switch...

Re: Road/Track 172 Haha took this as px against it actualy, nice small turbo car that was quickly sold on to buy the R8.

Re: Road/Track 172 It was just a standard 182 but was my daily hack for 2.5 years while the cosworths were weekend toys.

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Thanks Im the same hope to try and miss the mad sunday sesh, and stick to open pit nights.

Re: Road/Track 172 The blue escort was a really nice car with a very useable 450bhp engine. The white cossie was built for about 550 bhp but was closer to 500, before I broke it.

Re: Road/Track 172 Could a mod move this into the project section please. It will more than likely go through a good few changes if my previous cars are anything to go buy.

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Never had a fan from McGill but all the other parts Ive had from them have been good quality. Stunning build and cant wait to see it at Knockhill. On a side note what track days/nights are best at knockhill , Im really needing to get booked up on a few.

Re: Road/Track 172 Its actualy made by Vibe Audio for sound systems, rated to 140 amps so may be border line for cold cranking but if it does trip it only takes a second to reset...

Re: Road/Track 172 Had the car on the rollers at Sitech Racing last night to check the fueling , it goes slightly lean around 3K but from then on it is safe.

Re: Road/Track 172 Its my last weekend at home before going back to work so dont think I will be at knockhill. Im going along to Sitech Racing tonight to put the car on the rollers to check the fueling. Ive also finnished the battery install with a switched breaker in the back rather than a...

Re: Road/Track 172 I ported both parts yesterday, there now painted and refitted. Have had the car out tonight but with rain and 888's its just wheel spin. Hope to get the car on the rollers this week to check the fueling as it seems a bit flat lower down.

Re: Road/Track 172 Scrap that just talked to Chip I didnt realise they had cnc'd ports as standard :S

Re: Road/Track 172 I decided today since the weather was crap that I would have a go at porting/matching the inlet manifolds, I know it wont give a big gain but its free. What I found when i removed the manifold is a bit strange, as it looks like the head has been ported and had new valves...

Re: Road/Track 172 Whats on next week ? Im up there tomorrow morning to do the Ferrari experiance so was going to ask about track days. If I stays dry I might see about taking the clio back up in the afternoon for a few laps.

Re: Road/Track 172 I got the thread bar from my local B&Q and used a spare seat brace from my go kart to go over the battery. The rest of the parts I got from Tweeks but but Merlin motorsport also sells all you need. Im just waiting on a inline breaker to fit at the back rather than running a...

Re: Road/Track 172 Dave I bolted the box down using 4 M6 bolts with large penny washers either side, then used M8 thread bar and a top brace to hold the battery in place. It may be a bit over kill but I dont fancy a battery to the back of the head should the worst happen.

Re: Road/Track 172 He just sold his silver 182 and got it a few weeks ago. My old 182

Re: Road/Track 172 No I work offshore on the rigs, but I do stay in the houses across the road from Diageo.

Re: Road/Track 172 Im from Leven , the car was owned /built by a guy from Dumfermline then sold to someone from Edinburgh. Uprated top mounts and polished/matched inlets are on my shopping list so keeping an eye out in the forsale section.

I bought this last week to hopefully use on some track days and have a bit of fun in, the gearbox mount let go on the first day so have just got that fixed and carried out my first mod on it moving the battery to the back. Plans are to hopefully keep it low budget fun , but Ive never been good...

Thanks. New mount fitted and filter run sorted :) Hopefully the battery relocation parts will be here tomorrow, then I can get some fun out of it.

Ive recently bought a track/road spec 172 cup, and managed to brake it within 6 hours:(. Just a gearbox mount so should be sorted this week, and gives me a good excuse to move the battery to the boot to help straighten out the filter run.
