PMSL - Is that Jamie? with his eyes closed in fear?

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Aye feels 100% as it has done for the past few weeks but just does not seem to disengage far enough and allow it into gear, its proper wierd... Also, with the cable removed from the fork there is loads of play in the fork with a 'twisting' motion like...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Cable is pretty much brand new...all looks fine.. As Whiteley said really, pedal stop was trimmed when I first did the conversion etc... I had about 40+ laps before and all of a sudden could not get it into 2nd, no wierd noises etc. No gears will engage...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Well my car is currently stuck at Cadwell after it broke yet again today... big clutch problems this time! Was going well up until 11ish too. Recovery tomorrow, sigh!

Too bad they are quickest then eh ;)

Yeah its been on the road about a week now...and its a bungee cord lol.

Got a text from Mike earlier asking did anyone want to meet in Warrington this evening - quite a few turned up... Hers a couple of my pictures, few others had their cameras out so im sure they will post theirs! The 2118s look great on Adams car too :cool:

Cool good stuff :)

Did you tack weld the sleeves for the polybushes to the wishbone?

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Fitted the 172 fuel pump and new fuel filter before, seems to run a bit smoother and do more miles to the fuel - I wonder if the 190k+ miler valver pump actually had any affect on the running, hmm. Will have to see how it goes! Tracking adjusted slightly and...

Coming from the person who wouldnt paint it any color other than blue because they couldn't be arsed changing it on the docs legally yeh? lol

He means police, lol. ANPR will bring it up as blue etc

KFC?

AndyRG on here in the projects section

Swap 225 internals into a 172 block, bolt the 172 box to the block, fit the 225 head to the 172 block, machine a hole for a 172 cambelt kit idler/pulley then bolt all the bits on - been done a few times now!

So simple answer to the OP is dont use a 182 engine and try and swap the inlets, as the 172 Ph1 inlet wont work...

You mean a 172 breather (with the sticking up bit) wont fit a 182 rocker cover? Thats what I was trying to get at, as the 182's have them smoothed over dont they?

Cable throttle body wont bolt upto the Ph2 inlet, different bolt holes IIRC With a 182 engine I think you have to swap the breather plate over too that is under the inlet?

Do you already have a Ph1 engine? If so just unbolt the inlets and attach it to the Ph2 engine...half an hours job if that

100% fine as long as you swap the inlets over from the Ph1 engine as the Ph1 uses a cable setup...

It knows how much fuel is being used, there is an output pin on the ECU for 'flow data' which drives the dashboard computer giving it information on how much fuel is being used (Well thats how its wired on my 172 Ph1 clocks from the ECU anyway). This is then calculated against the distance...

Hence why I said... lol.

Still a long way off the proper color yet though, lol

lbrench? lol

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project What cars do they come on? lol!

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Yeah there is alot less travel, but its not like the pedal went heavier its just far easier to brake so to speak. The only adjustable bit on my 172 one that I could see was like a thread that would wind in and out on the pushrod itself inside

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project I will measure the servo for you tomorrow (forgot when it was out)... I re-bled the whole thing again the other day and it changed by a lot again. I really like how they are now, instant bite with pretty much no force on the pedal at all (which I think is...

Silver Mk2 with a green front badge? I was near Arnold Clark... Anyone?
