what engine is it? If the immobiliser is active (ecu locked) the injectors will not fire at all, the coil will not spark either...as they are the two points generally used to immobilise the car.

Unfortunatley its not as easy as opening the holes out with a drill bit on the FK's though, due to the holes being slotted....easiest way is to just mill 0.5mm off every edge of the hole on a cnc cutter/mill. Other coilovers with simple fixed holes on the shock end would have been easy to do

The bolt holes have to be enlarged to accept 172 bolts (1mm larger), as they are Williams coilovers

Want me to get them machined then? No doubt Burrrrr will ask me about his too anyways... AFAIK AST are the only ones that will go on without drilling holes in the strut tops and all that (Mark Fish/Ktec etc?)...Mine have been spot on this year anyway

The others were like beach chairs thats why!

Just do it properly and weld four bars into the floor, sack the runners off completely, its height that does not even need to be there. Set it up and weld the bars in so its how you like drive it position wise, then bolt the side mounts to those. If you need to move it forward or back...

The silver new looking part

No no no. Just make some brackets to move it over until it fits, your passengers will have alot more fun on corners with a standard seat!

Standard valver passenger seat with modified mounts ftw?

My JB3 works fine with 172 Fly and Starter. Have you painted the gearbox at all? Is the mounting face where the starter comes flush with the box clean and giving a good earth? How many earths have you got from the engine/box?

Did you not buy Ben_p's seats? Or did he only have one?

LAWL. Hes only a few days too late ;) Win.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Exactly my point, his V5 says purple. You dont want to see his thread, 79 of his 80 pages on the Fiesta site are spam. Although, mines only bad due people replying 'x' (3) times in a row when there is an Edit button ;) Enough now though, lol. Il do a...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Alot more than the Proton. And its purple, so automatically = fail.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Either way its far far far far cooler than your current whip... LOL.

Does the solenoid fire? Have you connected the solenoid up?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Im talking M reg and earlier ;) ...heads to eBay.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Cool. Yeah, lol. TBF anything with Tax and MOT to last me until Feb/March will do! 106/Polo, anything old that runs lol.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Yeah, kept letting them down few PSI at the time, but by the time it got better the weather got worse! The first few times in the video I could have rescued it with some gas yeah, few other people mentioned it...although sometimes the wheel just whips...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project 813kg last time I got it weighed (with the Superleggeras on), small amount of fuel in Cool, il check it out and see what it weighs, then go from there :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Yeah, the trailer in question is twin axle, no idea how much it weighs. Are there any limits/laws on it has to be a single axle trailer or anything daft?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project The seats, its the only pic he seems to have that I could find to hand! Yeah....So trailer & load has to be less than the weight of the tow car? Talking say maybe 1200kgs+ to be on the safe side...Landy? lol.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Any guesses? ;)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Looking at Pre-1995 106's at the moment ;) I definitely could not live with a Micra, hate the shape of them with a passion lol.

Nice work. Where is that fusebox from? Had a quick scan on the link you posted and couldnt see it

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Well, nearly one year three months on from when I bought it and the project started, its hopefully going SORN again in the next week or so. After some thinking I was still undecided weather I wanted to permanently keep it off the road, and sort my trailer...

Adam w on here, 1.2 8v Looks like a great turnout, nice pics too!

Check the for sale section mate.The shell and all the bits are for sale/sold due to personal circumstances.

Yeah... What cylinder head is that? I thought all Ph1's had the sticky up bit out of the breather plate

do you mean the hole on the left, where the pipe usually goes on? If so, yes block it up otherwise it will whistle... If you mean the hole on the top that connects to the inlet plenum going upwards, I think its needed as the Ph1 inlet manifold has a hole in the bottom of it to connect with it.
