All 172 Ph1s, All 172 Ph2 Cups and (some) regular 172 Ph2's ran speedo sensors in the back of the box, which drive the dash.. Some regular Ph2 172's, and all 182's use the ABS Bloooors and Jesus's 172's had the sensor from the back of the box to name a few... To the OP - the sensor can be...

All Ph1's did too.... ...and some of the normal (non cup) Ph2s did, it was pretty random on Ph2s. Most ive seen have had the sensor in the box!

Yeah, sprayed with black sealer stuff. I only used it for a month then sold the F7R lol

De ja vu from 2008 :)

EFA.

We drove through 3 other, non UK, countries in Europe last winter in a 172 with the Xenons on all the time, even got stopped by the police and never had an issue, or got flashed etc. IMO they are fine without.

EFA ;) Il probably be there considering its a mile from mine.

Its the MAP sensor

This weather is certainly making for some fun in the Bimmer...

It looks quite a bit closer on the video than it actually is, but I sometimes do get close to the people I know, as I can trust what they drive like/do, unlike a lot of people on track days who might randomly brake etc! Lol! Should be for sure - hopefully I wont have any worries about...

Cheers for all the comments :) AdamAnderton lol

Cheers Only done 5 trackdays, Rockingham, Cadwell, Mallory, Oulton and Anglesey. Would have liked to do more but just didnt have enough time! Yeah, get yours sorted lol. Expensive hobby, but a lot of fun! Yup, just the 5.. Yeah, thought I'd put a clip of it in there. Proper random 12'...

After changing a lot on the car from 2009 and having quite a number of problems earlier this year, resulting in only being able to use the car late on, I still managed to have a good few days out of it. Only managed to destroy and a clutch and have one major off this year, but its all good fun...

Ive used Hammerite and normal spray paint in the past (with etch primer) and both have been 100% fine, 24 months later..

Tomorrow..

172bhp 165lb/ft... 830kg... so around 210bhp/tonne. Never done a 1/4 in it (yet) but I'd hope for high 13s and around a 100mph terminal with decent tyres on a good day

Heh, there isn't much else left to save any weight with. Ive given up trying to remove anymore thats why it was painted after I finished the cage, its fun enough as is :)

Finished the LPG install the other day, done around 300-400 miles on it now but all seems fine. Needs a slight tune I think, but will be getting that sorted soon. Made a new filler pipe mounted from the towbar instead of having to drill the bodywork too, il put some details up about it (and the...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Bad times, lucky I didnt need to use it. Il never go near Flux ever again, absolutely w*nk customer service and terms with regards to cancellations and the like. Indeed a god did create them lol - glad with how they turned out, they make the car/cage...

As said really... Cam timing's spot on, tool dropped straight in with it locked at TDC, didnt even need a wiggle..

Yeah, if it wasnt so cheap I would have kept the red one. After driving it for nearly two weeks now its averaging the same MPG as the red one used to on petrol, so the bigger 318i engine cant be any worse. Getting between 30-35mpg with all short start stop journeys, so not far off the clio...

Cheers for the PM duck, although I probably do too much milage for it, along with maybe not being old enough? Managed to get a few jobs out of the way on it over the past couple of days, mainly bits that were annoying me. The brake pad warning light had been on since I got it (but I thought it...

Williams and 172 wishbones are 100% definitely different, thats where the extra width with the 172 widetrack comes with when fitted to a Mk1 over Williams widetrack

The first one was always fucked due to the the thread for the hub nut being flatten'd on the end, so it was a pain in the arse to get the nut on.. So I got another, ran that for a while, had to remove the engine, took shaft out and dropped it on the end, thread fucked on that one, so used my...

Wierd, what shafts are they? Ive ran 172 Ph1, 172 Cup and some random 182 shaft on mine without issue in the past...

No probs just give me a call.. Yeah no worries, il be back and forward to manchester in the next few days anyway so either way just let me know.. Yeah, ideal for just driving about in.. Quite a bit, Had it 6/7 days and put 1k on it already. How? lol

Lol, well I didnt buy it for the towing originally as I didnt even know it had the towbar until I got there. Just gonna have to see, i know people towing horseboxes with 1.6 astras so will just have to see how much it can tow - its not really the towing thats putting the load on it, its just the...

Got something for you to look at on it when you have a bit of free time Mike, some rig-up previous owner has attempted a touch up to a mark on the tailgate and you might know what to do lol.

You do have an M3 though, lol. To be honest I haven't even taken it over 3k RPM, just been pottering round normally and its fine for that. My previous two 'dailys' in the past couple of years were a Fiesta 1.2 and a Valver, so I wasnt really expecting much from it to be honest! Does me just...
