Wonder which would be quicker, this or Scoffs 5 @ 10.37/144mph, both road legal! Nice result anyway, seen a few vids floating round on youtube recently

Doh, cant make it that weekend, oh well.

when it does it look at the throttle body itself on the back, if you can turn the black bit slightly towards the closed position and the idle goes down - it means its sticking... Talking only 1mm of movement but you need to see/try it to tell...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Yeah - the other ones were ok with no play or noise before but they had to come apart to do the conversion I guess... Thing is too, someone I know owns a very large nationwide bearing supply company, every type you could think of - I thought he would be able...

Good work - glad to see its finally getting there! I suppose you could just shorten the cat on the exhaust/center section side which would allow you to run any Mk1 fitment exhaust too

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project I would think you can probably get away with running the studs without taking material off the stub axle, but I didn't want to risk it and press them together with new bearings and find out they caught on the upright - as it would be a pair of bearings...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project My tool/crane/spares rental rates should do me well that weekend then, wonder if it will be you or Adam? lol

The clio :)

Welcome - what year is it?

More than likely £20+ a go due to being proper metal, machined up specifically and treated for what they were being used for though - hence them being fine! Ive seen similar priced steel ones for sale in the past that had been tempered/heat treated

Depends on condition, milage, age etc. PM me some details too if you dont mind, I could be interested in it

Yeah, just on the front. There was one or two people who ive seen convert the rears to a hub based setup (to run bigger rear disks) on another Mk1 forum, but its hardly worth it for me. The fronts take far more load/stress and I dont really need to worry about the back :)

21, lol. And exactly... Im glad to be having some fun now before I get tied up with anything serious! Far from ruining it - you'l be glad you did it once its all working. Yeah the value of the actual car will take a knock, but the £ for £ performance increase if its been well thought out and...

You can - but it would mean unwinding the studs and screwing them into the new set of discs when you want to swap them as the thread is in the disc.. unfortunately no hub on the rear!

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Exactly something I didnt not want to do... Id rather spend time making my own 'one off' parts, making stuff fit where other people said it wouldnt and sourcing my own components/parts rather than through retailers (hence the high build cost of some...

I thought they were going to be w*nk in the rain, as everyone always moans about them being... I did a trackday in the pissing rain at Rockingham, which everyone moans about having standing water, and they were perfectly fine - just dropped the pressures a bit. All the comments have to be just...

Well that lasted long - I ran Security Essentials upto now but im getting fed up of it firing svchost.exe upto 99 CPU usage every time the PC boots, I have to end the task then I loose network access/audio drivers until I restart the services. Its all the latest version, latest def's etc - just...

Ah, I see what you mean now - im sure I have one somewhere il have a hunt

1st Picture is Alternator Connector (For Alternator/Battery Light on the dashboard) the green stub is just a cover for the spare pin, it only has one wire (for the dashboard light) 2nd Picture is Power Steering Pressure Sensor - Not sure about it having oil on it but I dont think the sensor...

Lucky the guide he used tells you to take the RPM signal from the ECU ;)

Canon 1000D or second hand 450d

Yeah 172 hubs.. heres how I did it: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?364502-Mk1-F4R-172-d-Track-Car-Project&p=6955220&viewfull=1#post6955220 Yeah, heard the same quite a lot as ive been reading over the past few months, I just finished doing mine with press studs to hopefully...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Adam hadnt connected them up yet, was a work in progress picture ;) As wilky said really, just work through it and its not too hard, literally just swapping connector blocks!

If you are going to get a screw in style kit I would recommend getting studs that are proper machined high strength steel and not cheap zinc plated stuff like most of the kits are, ive heard bad things about the threads f**king up after only a few changes if you're going to be swapping wheels...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Not mine but Adam's - You can see the brown and white (Mk1) connector blocks at the bottom of the image. Basically all you are doing is removing the 172 engine loom connector (Thats what the main table in my guide is) and connecting the wires upto the Mk1...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Yeah found that earlier, but what I meant was the actual hollows/deepest part of the actual thread

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project The shock mounting faces on the uprights were overhanging by around 1mm before they were machined to fit the Williams shocks. By that I mean the shock mounting faces were wider than the stucture going upto it... We take 2mm off each side, as the Williams...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Cool - thanks for the link, looks like it could be far easier! Which threads do you mean, the actual stud/nut thread? I put some on the inside of the new nuts before screwing them upto the wheel so the whole thread would not be covered in it...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Used a grinder and cut it off, then went to the scrap yard and took the complete line off another car - luckily it was the shortest one! Cool, il have a look into that!
