Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Yeah, no movement anywhere apart from the driveshaft if sat still and just jacked up! Yeah, I thought there should be a bit, but usually no noise like its making (clunk clunk when going in and out)... Its getting worse when driving -...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Cheers for the comment! After driving the car with the shafts changed, a knocking had started from the N/S front. It was more of a hollow knocking noise rather than a clunk - but I thought yeah its possibly a ball joint. Checked...

My local (General Traffic) could get them, along with a few others (CES, Andrew Page)... Not sure who's local to you? I know 'Andrew Cooke' on here just bought one himself, its mentioned in his project thread

Just fit the 172 Ph1 running gear to the Mk1 Subframe, I have it all on mine (Wrote a guide) Everything physically fits and bolts together fine, but if you did it you would need a Williams steering rack due to it being so much wider than a valver. With Williams widetrack you can get away with...

Sorry Rich, dannys lol Calipers are the same (Ph1 and Ph2), Mk1 rear calipers even fit the Mk2s fine

Yep - Most motor factors can get them

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild How does a 1*2 pass then with all metal pedals? lol

Change the solenoid...

At least I can say - 'been there, done that' to every single problem imaginable LOL :clown:

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Done about 100 miles since fitting and it drives spot on, its not come off yet either lol!

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Righty then - driveshafts finally sorted. As mentioned a few pages back I have always had problems with the hub nut thread on the N/S driveshaft, i.e. the nut not going on. I got a scrap driveshaft from Whiteley and attmpted to swap the...

Possibly Interested How many cars needed for this to go ahead?

...a project is never finished! You never know I might roll it on its first 2010 outing and have to re-shell it lol.

Tried a different (known working) dephaser solenoid?

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] LOL. As said, FCS on the Sunday...see some hero's and cars, back to the hotel - full day at Rockingham on monday... done.

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Still needs a new clutch though unfortunately! Hopefully it will last Rockingham in June and Cadwell at the start of July, might have time to replace it then I hope

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Grip-tape on the way at some point! Also still got to add padding to the cage and a few other things to tidy up etc. Was taken out end of 2008, never had anything really - any bad bad rain and its not driven. Light rain isnt bad if the...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Had a new one here for the past 6 months with a weld on-pop off boss, but just not had chance to get it tigged onto the column yet!

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Well its not been driving since November really, lol.

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Well I had a PM from Andrew Cooke and hes bought a replacement 172 CV, and he said it didnt seem to come with a circlip I think, and it was just possibly a push fitment?!

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Apparently some of them had a circlip that was the same, but ive not had chance to have another look yet... Few proper pics from earlier now its mostly rebuilt... Nearly hidden most of the wiring/boxes - fusebox gone from...

Its already up mate, spotted it on RTOC last night - amazing! g4M8JEes8A4

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild Cool, think mine are 4mm too - as far as I know they were from P4P originally Im booking the June Rockingham (14th) this week, then got Cadwell on the 7th July and a dirt cheap Mallory Park on a weekend in August with RTOC...few others inbetween too probably :)

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild Looks great, what thickness windows did you go for? Any trackdays planned?

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Only original thing still left on the car really, special feature :rasp: Got a new shifter mechanism to fit when I get around to it, just need to source the right size rose-joint for the underside yet!
