Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Scuttle Induction setup has now gone! :)
So, this arrived this morning, Ph1 172 airbox...
Standard filter (for now)...
Before I could do anything with it, I had to get rid of the 172 header tank, and plumb in the Fiat item I found at the scrap yard...
if the car had air con originally you may have issues with some of the plumbing and the heater controls....but ive got no idea about that really
you're basically just swapping the bare engine, and refitting everything that was already there....so it will work just as it would have done originally
Had it weighed a while back at 827kg's...since removed some other bits, so low 820kg's at the moment...
Got another set of wheels to use on track now (15" Superleggera) which are 2.5kg's ish lighter per wheel than the current Williams wheels...hopefully should bring me near to 810kgs.

Found out after some research today that the cost for the test only for the trailer licence is £120.
Although, if you do a course over a few days which includes the £120 test fee, your looking at £350-400-450...obviously paying for instruction...

Im going to try and get...
Is there a specific rating that the clio coolant system runs at?
Reason I ask is im re-locating my header tank. Ive found one from a 2.0 Fiat thats the perfect shape for what I need, with two connections. One large and one small one at the top exactly the same as the 172 header tank.
Am i...
I can feel a riggy setup with a drill coming on ;)
Its not the scratches/marks that are bothering me, its the cloudy/milky-ness in certain lights on specific patches...not sure what causes that?! Would polishing bring that out?
No no not sorted yet, keep meaning to do it but dont know what to buy to use on them!
Read over on detailingworld that PlastX or whatever it is, isnt all what its supposed to be...
