Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Nah, thats (another) new one. Took it back after comparing it too my old belt and another new belt someone else had - all the same numbers + codes, but the one I had was 15mm ish shorter, very very odd. Took it back, swapped it...got home...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Powdercoated stuff is only coming back Thursday so engine cant to back in until at least then, lol.

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Made a bracket to go on the front of the head above the thermostat housing, but its off with the rest of the stuff getting powdercoated Nah I wont be there, sold the run-a-bout today - so I need to get the clio built back up once I have...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] All built up near enough ready to go in - New Headgasket, Cambelt, Newer Dephaser Pulley etc. Just waiting on all the mounts/covers coming back from the powdercoaters, which does not really matter yet as the shell isnt back. Inlet manifold...

Its 8 weeks away yesterday

Your's wont be making it lol. ...and Chris, ive already booked the hotel (months ago) when you said you'd probably come, and we agreed to go on a different club stand lol.

like these?

Well, still couldnt get it on no matter what was tried. Compared it to another brand new belt (same codes/markings) length wise and my one was indeed somewhat shorter (15-20mm) which would explain it not fitting. Only thing I can think of is it was a bad batch or printed up incorrectly?! Going...

Looks good, and yeah thats a Magnex Twin.

Yeah, only got the sprocket on and freely spinning, accessories pulley is off. Tensioner is pointing to the left which is how the other belt goes on fine, and im assuming is the fully slack position - I did try it in a few different positions but it didnt make any difference to how close the...

Yeah, thats how I usually do it...the old one takes a bit of a pull but always slots onto the cam 100% fine. This 'new' belt is so tight its around 10mm away from pulling onto the thread of the exhaust cam, and there is no more slack to pull on. The belt is only half on the...

Oh, and the old belt goes back on first time every time with no issues.

Picked up a new cambelt a few days ago with the above product code printed on it, checked it against the belt I took off where you can just about see the printing and its the same (which did fit fine). 172 Ph1 Engine btw. Every other cambelt ive EVER fitted has gone on fine, can just about get...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Need it running and driving by next weekend ideally. Once ive got the shell back its just bolting everything together which should go smoothly, then Oultons on Wednesday 28th

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Of course it will, done it too many times now! Checked the head over before building it up, then used new headgasket, newer dephaser pulley, new cambelt, mostly new everything - nothing should be wrong with it! Installing it is the easiest...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Well, it went for paint yesterday evening, should have it back soon... Engine built up today, few bits to do then its ready to drop in once I have the car back... All thats left after that is to wire the car up - still quite a lot to do lol.

Good work - 172 going in tomorrow? lol

This is not good at all, not one pic showing an actual angle grinder! Looking good, I nearly called in on the way to Brooky the other day to see if you were about as I wanted to see the Rocco, but I had to get back lol

Camskill - £55 each for 195/50/15 What size you after?

Im sure NineMeister in Warrington do full geo setups inc weighting, could be worth giving them a call...
