that one wire for the rev counter would work the mk1 clocks, lol....or are you still wanting to run the aftermarket tacho?

very posh! lol. what needs doing on the car itself now then?

Who said I was on about that part? there is plenty of driving in the video....

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Oh well, nevermind. The drivers side hub where the balljoint goes into the upright has come loose again, andrew you were correct, it stayed tight for a bit but its worked its way loose within a short while! Hopefully will have another hub en-route from a...

you would have to modify the exhaust IIRC... have you seen the guide in the guides section on here?

he bought them from me, piper 270's with kent vernier pullies (iirc) ;)

has it even moved yet? lol.

why not use the soldering iron? lol wasting electric FTL ;)

ummmmm memories. heatgun for wiring? lol.

il be there

Taking the engine out is easier than doing the cambelt on the RT lol ;)

nice work....just need them cams in now ;)

sounds like it was a good day from the various threads/posts ive seen. I would have made the effort if my stand pass had arrived in time, wasnt going to drive 3 hours each way on a off-chance that I could get on the stand. No doubt it will turn up tommorow.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Well just got home after a full day doing a cambelt for someone and swapping a cylinder head for someone else, non-stop day to find no post at home :( No stand pass in sight for Trax, was going to get up first thing and leave but im not heading down on a...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Yeah, i just checked it again earlier (50miles later) and its still rock solid...doubt it will stay what way forever though. Il keep a lookout for one, then will just have to get it machined again to 22mm

Its a pulley that can phase/shift the cam timing on the inlet pulley via the means of a solenoid on the top of the rocker cover, to aid low revs drivability (VVT) If your having the belts changed its the ideal time to change it, as the pulleys have to be slackened off to do the timing belt...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Well, you were correct andrew, the drivers side upright was slightly worn, but i put a new balljoint on and tightened it up seriously tight, the pinch part where the bolt goes through is as tight as it will go and there is no movement at all, so hopefully...

you will still hear the pump run, regardless of weather its got fuel in or not... the pitch of the pumps noise changes if there is no fuel in the tank

look at the connector, find the ignition live and the earth, unplug connector, and put two wires on the two pins you located... I did that when my pump failed, used it to check new pump and it worked fine

hook up a live to the pump with a spare bit of wire (and an earth obviously) and see if the pump runs, if it doesn't the pump is knackered....

Unfortunately not widetracked mark, just valver shocks/track with lowering springs!

Ha

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Ah yeah, get you now. Well when I picked up another balljoint today, it was showing two parts. 14mm and 16mm. I just got one the same as the one I had in my hand that was taken to compare with, unsure what size the 172 is meant to be? If worst comes to the...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Cool, will check the bearings in the morning. You mean check the hub where the upright goes in? Check if that is tapered? If it is, does that mean new hub time?

dear lord. Hi. lol.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Aint even received trax stand pass that was meant to be sent yet... CBA f**king around with it all last minute tbh.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Not sure yet TBH, depends how it goes when its all back together tomorrow, tracking is going to be miles out too at a guess now!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Ok, all stripped down today...Hubs/Wishbones/etc off. Drivers side wishbone, sleeve has moved on the rear bush... Passenger side wishbone, sleeve on the rear bush has also moved, but by much more... Bit of chewed-ness... Before those were...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project They are 172 hubs and 172 bearings, the drivers side is perfect with no movement. 22mm was perfect, the williams shocks are a tight fit onto the hubs, running with 172 bolts too... Mark, yes they were new, lol. Update coming shortly
