Probably the best run out of the day first, Whiteley was behind with his camera on too, im sure he will post the video up later. I had Naith as passenger, commentary all the way... zG0SoMkspoc Next, chasing Andyrg down... K4Ur0RoDSbQ Then had a good session with some Meganes... utGrqcCMLg0...

LOL. R.I.P F7P.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Yeah, sliding round the first corner then having a 172 coming towards you at full pelt was quite an interesting moment LOL.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project The ones from yesterday are funnier ;) LOL, comedy.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Well, another Oulton down yesterday without any major problems. Coolant temperature gauge has stopped working but the wire has come off the sensor, so easy fix really. The track dried out nicely, and then got slippery again towards the end of the day...

Great pic!

Nice pics again :) Any more of mine ;)

Nice pics :) Did the ones of both Mk1s coming down the pit straight come out any good?

Il probably pop up if its not pissing down

:) win.

Just tell them to STFU and reconnect the solenoid wire for you ;) be reet lol.

Probably yes :( Disconnect the battery, undo the 3x 16mms holding the starter in place and take it out the gap. Sort the pin, connect the solenoid wire before putting it back into place, then bolt it all back together....sorted ;)

Unfortunately its alot of work to put a Ph1 throttle body on a Ph2 inlet, requires drilling a hole and tapping a thread IIRC. You cant just put the ph1 inlet on either as the breather plate on the top of the rocker cover is different also, and im not sure if they are interchangeable (dont think...

Easiest way I found is put your hand in flat, under the manifold but on top of the starter from the gearbox side....you will be able to feel the little spade connector then and hopefully wiggle the wire back onto it!

Yes, that wire is the only thing linking your turn of the key in the barrel to the starter motor!

thats the starter solenoid wire! Goes from your key barrel to there, and engages the motor. It goes onto a spade connector on the top of the starter motor solenoid, bit fiddly but is doable with a bit of patience. You can see the spade pin on here...

Yeah they dont require much current.....the starter draws ALOT of amps

Have you got a multi meter you can test the battery with? definitely sounds like battery has given up

Haha I know only messing lol. Is it only just sometimes it does this, or every time after its been sat for a bit?

Did you say you changed the battery? Check the main power feed crimp that goes to the starter motor itself too. BTW if you need to take it off, it does come out of the top, I got some pics of it coming out through the top when I did mine ;)

Buy the stud from renault, they are supposed to be replaced if the pulley is removed anyway apparently. Considering they have never had a pulley on I guess they leave it out to make sure you put a new one in.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project LOL, I cant take your dad round, I wont be able to stop laughing.

The Slippery Bits... iAxy6Q0a6A0 inegVEFo6ks Few Dry Laps... 1Tr5J88kMUU Few Drivebys... RnPZXInDzy4

Think it was a group effort by all the people he was holding up for a few laps... LOL.

Its easy with my 172 wiring guide ;)

Its Arcan, think its an American brand. Its the same one as the 2nd eBay link that Adz posted I think.

Think about it though, when you are jacking up the car you are not lifting the whole weight of it, only 1/4 or maybe 1/2 if you are jacking the rear end up on the beam itself.

Yeah they go for between £65-85 inc VAT at Costco, the prices seem to fluctuate. They had loads in stock at £77 inc VAT the other day when I went!

As said just be careful with engines, check it turns over by hand before buying. I learnt the hard way. Remember you'l need to make the loom to run with the Mk1 (modifying/cutting/adding bits in), then a Ph1 ECU and an emulator. From there its drop in, plug in and go. Downpipe has to be made...

You could of got... For cheaper. :dapprove: Bigger Lifting Range/Better Built/Lower I had a Clarke one the same as the eBay ad, it bent/twisted lifting my Mk1
