yeah, over and through the gap. its near enough correct, but a bloody tight fit. Ideally you need to run a solid rear dogbone mount to overcome the 'knocking' of the downpipe hitting the tunnel, caused by engine movement forwards/backwards, as the gap is seriously tight. Custom downpipe is...

Loom is in 3 parts.... Engine+ECU, Middle (Runs headlights+Wipers+Blower), and Interior

mine used to make a lovely noise just after the solenoid activates/deactivates...sound anything like...? OpdEFOiCo6Q

Brentacre also.

Nice one. Got about 80k's worth of milage to add on to get it 'legit', lol. Il have a look around

Need the mileage setting on a set of 172 Ph1 clocks, has anyone ever had this done on a clio, or any other car? Any info would be appreciated.

there is quite a bit of difference, lol, specially considering he has to rev it to 8k to make peak power

a standard ZS was keeping up round track because of its better suspension at mallory, lol 172/182 would pull away out of corners IMO, quite a bit more torque + power

you could wire that up in an hour* with them PDFs of mine, can see they are being used on the floor lol. *By a properly qualified ЯUR technician.

If its leaking from one of the bolt holes or near it Fred always says just take it out, put some silicone gasket on and put it back in, then torque it up (12nm)... if its a large leak you probably haven't got much chance and the whole cover would have to come off, which means you need timing...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project no problemo shouldnt need them for a week or two yet :)

IIRC it was supercharged by GDI as the 'test car' and Jon still owns it...

yeah seen hoses like that, but as you said I have no idea how good they are (or not) either... I have been looking around autojumbles when ive seen them at shows for a simple 'S' shaped hose in the right diameter, from another car etc, but ive yet to come across anything....wonder if there is...

yeah, well im not even sure if mine is the 172 item. goes all the way down under my clutch fork then back up the other side onto the rad lol.... I was going to cut it and try and make it into just an S bend, as the inlet for the top rad on mine is only a bit lower than the thermostat housing...

use a multimeter and check what wire is coming live when you turn the rear fog on? or are all the wires wired up and its still not working?

Damn it was the top hose that I needed lol :(

nice work :) You got any of the standard coolant hoses by any chance?

Pics of your new Ph1? :cool:

ah cool. not needed then. nah you would have only needed them if you didnt have the solid top mounts, as you would have had to remove your standard top mounts which would have needed the compressors

you'll need spring compressors to remove the top mounts from the standard shocks

Yeah, everything else is just simple compared to the UCH/Ph2 setup, all single wires as said, im in the middle of making another loom at the moment ready to go aftermarket in the next few weeks....so much easier than trying to mess around re-doing parts of the loom thats already there... Il PM...

VEMS should have an output for tacho, i know laine's did over on clio16valver. the 172 ph1 clocks tacho input is just a single wire so thats easy. Same with coolant temp/coolant warning light/fuel level/fuel light, all single wires that can just be swapped... Although, he had to use a 10k...

Im at santa pod on the saturday kneel, not coming back up to drive back down lol

I have used it for what I wanted to this summer, and dont want it sat around all winter doing nothing. I was really impressed with the image quality, even wide open at 400mm. Its not too heavy and produces some really good colors...

I know its the first time, lol. I was just saying youve now got it running since starting to do it!

Joys of a 172 starter motor eh ;) Got it running at last!!!

yeah, they have got a good setup, mainly into the VAG scene.....but their figures always seem to be wayyyy out. Guy I know ran a standard 172 on there, made 198bhp with no mods, LOL.

take it to a garage and get it pressure bled on a ramp and see if you can see anything coming out at the various points round the car rear brake compensator on the rear beam is a possibility though

you would need an inlet manifold, management, etc etc etc It goes to the top hole on the matrix yep, then the bottom hole runs back down to the front of the block and tpieces into the lower rad hose.. I cant really show you pics of mine as I dont have a heater matrix
