Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Suppose you'l just have to keep an eye out for a 2nd hand RSTuner then :dapprove: ECU Clinic kept faffing when I asked for a refund, I ended up forgetting about it so lost out on ~£150! FFS. Oil pressure is right up there maxxing out the gauge when its...

LOL. Milage, mine wouldnt fit on the card, pah!

Depending on how its snapped of you could be looking at replacement caliper time!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Cool, thats that confirmed then! As long as it keeps good pressure im not bothered! Got any further with the Ph1 bits / ECU Clinic Andy?

LOL. Nice pic though :)

awwwww why because itl make 120bhp on some decent rollers? lolz

Its torque that will mainly define who is faster at 'pulling away'. 1*2s are 30lb/ft+ up on you

Just spoke to Paul.....£35 all in as said, no matter how many cars we get, so thats cleared that up :) Il be there as long as it isn't pissing down on the day, no way am I driving over the M62 summit with no heaters/demister in the rain again. 1. Hutchie 2. -KarL- 3. Daz 4. Jacko 5...

LOL. Thinking about it, we've had votes before for meets then gone to completely different places, so who knows lol.

Lies.....ive done it before on vbulletin ;)

You are using R19 shafts though pepino? Whiteley was having issues running 172 shafts with those R19 wishbones, as there was not enough 'free' room for the shaft.....so they must be too short 182 bottom arms are the same (apart from castor) as far as I managed to find out

Considering ive just added up nearly 4k in parts off the top of my head for your engine/spec, disregarding the cost of the replacement bottom end, replacement cams, puma gearbox and second mapping session.....its not going to be anywhere near 2k lol. Plus it wasn't 2k, he said 'around'...

Ive yet to witness this, the 182 driver had no arms or legs IIRC!....there wouldnt be much in it, and 100mph+ the RS would get away with ease imo.

Considering its around 2hr45min each way I doubt you would bother just calling in ;)

Well make the poll public so we can all see whos voted ;)

you'd have to get the footplates welded into the car for the cage to mount to also really, or it would be pointless even having it in there. The clio's floorpan where the main hoop would be fitted is about as thick as a piece of paper, so you wouldnt be able to just bolt straight to it, not to...

Nice work! Standard engine bar the bodies? Did you sell the cams aye?

Be prepared to have to make mounts/feet for the cage to sit on with OMP ones, as the ones they provide are nowhere near correct... Whats the cage for, show or trackdays?

Yes I know its an option, but I meant why has this one been set up private ;)

How come on some poll's you can see whos voted and this one you cant? lol

Well 102bhp/109lb/ft standard, his is 155bhp/119lb/ft, so I guess yeah... Although, it was the previous owner that fitted the bodies/ecu/etc......its probably about the same cost as a supercharger kit and an ITB kit for a clio put together inc the labour, so quite a bit cost wise lol.

The zetec is only the same pace as a standard valver, so you make the decision lol ;)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Mehhhhh! Im running standard valver sender and gauge, from the T piece on the front of the block. Now weather the T-piece is creating more pressure to the sender due to it being forced through the bit of pipework first is one possibility? Either way its...

There is a paper gasket on Ph1, I bought one the other day, £1.93+VAT.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Been in the process of hacking up the standard valver AUX dials, to do away with the circuit board. I only want the two oil gauges, Oil Pressure and Oil Temprature. Ive already got the sensors on the engine, they have been there from the start, but ive...

Quick idea I had for a picture that may be worthy, one of the photoshop pro's can probably get it tidier!

My 172 engine was restricted to f**k with two 90deg bends the same as that :( Was like a new car when I took it off and ran an airbox straight off the throttle body instead! Looks good though!

apparently its been confirmed for the 7th now. Im guessing Hutchie didnt find out if we get more numbers the price gets cheaper no?

Yeah, I have a few plugins and applications for doing it, but I just couldn't be bothered lol. If it was a daylight setting I may have put more effort in ;)
