Re: Throttle Potentiometer - What to do? maybe its something else unrelated to the throttle.....TDC Sensor maybe

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah, well the outlet is 2.5", which is the same size as the inlets on the 172 airbox, so it will do the job for now :approve:

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Yours will jams when its red hot, whiteleys was at marham last year, even with a center silencer, just needs to be hot enough on overrun... Adams will do it more because of the manifold

looks good, bolted in aye?

they've moved onto taking photos and notes, FLOL. Im not too bad either, lol.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Spent some more time on the car this evening. The car has needed some ducts in the fog light holes to tidy it up for some time, but ive just never got round to it. Demon tweeks sell a 6" x 3" duct that near enough fits with a bit of modification (Coops has...

g clamp on front and screwdriver to wind on the rear.....does the job for me

Probably because the engine is so riggy, lol. His track record with bottom ends is continuing.....................................................................

how is it wrong to get more power, torque and a lighter engine for a lot less money than tuning an f7r to the same spec as an f4r then? ;)

F4R after all, my days. IIRC ben_p had one of the highest compression ratios on here in his most recent build, the spec is in his thread I think.

Re: Project 172 *** ITB'S - 204bhp *** Sausage filter fitted Page 14 Drivers side may weigh more due to them having the mech to change the height of the seat too?

you wish :rasp:

Head unit out, then you can get your hand up and pop it out

Ive been using it without a problem, hardly uses a drop in mine it seems

Good update. "The sound of a kettle boiling", just LOL. Too bad you didnt get any pics of the cambelt change eh, all them riggy rig ups to remove the covers haha!

Well, you failed at that LOL. wMV2foX46B4 RASP.

Cams have been sat in the garage for months :dapprove: Been thinking about selling them in recent weeks, but il never get them as cheap as I did from Tooney again, let alone Schricks. Will get them in with an ECU over winter, run it for the summer then think It will be time to move onto a new...

230bhp/tonne, are you mad? if I had a 190bhp engine maybe, but its not that much.....yet!

Id like to think 170bhp ish, but it only ways a tad over 800kg, so around 210-215bhp/per tonne :cool:

Coolant temprature is whats shown on the dash, yeah. As to weather it controls the limiter, or if there is a 'timer' that counts how long the cars been running that controls it, im unsure......but the pin diagram for a 172 ph1 shows no pins at all for anything oil temperature related

How do! Lucky I remembered this and checked the spotted section! You looked like you were carrying some speed coming upto the roundabout, car looked mean as in the rear view mirror, so thought id give it some ;) As said....172 engine/172 front track/lots of weight saved, thats about it!

indeed. considering the ECU has no pin in for oil temperature....so it would have no idea how warm or cold the oil actually is!

you can only keep wishing eh :sleepy:

there is no requirement for heaters as far as I know, its definitely not in the MOT anyway. Weather there is a 'law' for it is another matter, ive never had a problem on the many occasions ive been stopped... Why would you need to faff still sat in the seat, it takes 30 seconds to safely pull...

I dont see it as a problem, its too much of a handful in the wet anyway. Easy solution, keep the screen clean, and use a cloth to wipe the screen IF it steams up, which it has yet to do. Or you just buy a heated front screen for £200. Ive only been using it as a daily over summer, hence why its...

Cool....hope it makes it this time round with no problems!

Didnt realise that was you last year at Oulton mate, I got some pics of your car (think I sent you them)....what setup was it back then?

also go careful with magnum, ive heard some bad stories about them recently, only down the road from me... a lad i know ordered some seats, they asked for deposit of 50%....6 weeks went by of them ignoring phone calls and saying yeah we're starting them next week, they hadnt even taken a...

nice! passenger ride at oulton? lol
