Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
tailgate is freshly painted Ph1 item, painted 2-3 weeks ago.....doors are solid, drivers door is only 12 months old....drivers rear qtr 12 months old too.....
General structure/arches/doors/sills are spot on, just needs like front wings sorting (paint...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Had a full cage sat here for 3 months, just needs welding in...... Then just general tidying up, once cage is in, interior sprayed, then turn my attention to the bodywork if i can be arsed!
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
I have no proof they did it as said....I have a backup of the ECU which shows it being the wrong map/software....but no proof they did it. I know they f**ked the PCB by scratching the track off, and an email with pics was sent on saturday with that, dosent...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
The problem was the ECU had been flashed with a 1.4 8v calibration file + software.....the engine in question has a 6k limiter, so it explained it.....
We think this was done by the ECU clinic when they 'decoded it' to remove the immobiliser, think they...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Yeah.....im not that impressed with mine after that though tbh!!
Considering what you made at RSTuning the other week, i really should be gaining on you more i think?! If my engine is timed up right and healthy that is, the car is alot lighter lol
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Cheers, must have took some time!
Yeah possibly, but its only usually me that drives it, so I know not to push it hard past halfway, you can 'feel' it stop, so anyone would know not to push it past that to be honest!
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
not backing off as such just not going full throttle straight away as it just spins up in 2nd mid range....
Throttle position never goes past 90% on the logs, so 90% has to be full throttle IMO. I know this because the RStuner performance analyzer only...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
well explained, although I do tend to give it a few revs before pulling away...
Il post up the same three graphs with throttle position overlaid shortly so we can see
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
he was trying to exaggerate a point, lol.
It will be less than 850kg, they are 1000ish standard, ive saved more than 150kg easily lol.
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
I have the TPS data too, 2 second job to overlay onto those...
The start is where the revs shoot up at the same time as the speed, which then drops again.....wheelspin
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Going to head out later with GPS and laptop/logs on.....to see what the difference is between GPS speed and what speed the ECU is reading at various speeds, so we shall see.
Ive no idea what its going to weigh to be honest, polycarbs and cut out...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
And a few other interesting ones, the fastest 0-100mph time (11.2) plotted against two old logs from when the 1.4 map was on :)
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
0-100mph Run 1 - 11.5sec
0-100mph Run 2 - 11.2sec
0-100mph Run 3 - 11.5sec
0-100mph Average (11.5,11.2,11.5) - 11.4sec
You can clearly see on all 3 graphs before the 5sec marker the speed increase rapidly where the wheels are spinning in 1st :boring...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
IIRC hes got matched inlets also...not a huge job for someone that does it as a service though.
Also...no it wont log data for your car.....Renault only unfortunatley!
comedy :approve:
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
TooneySonic has offered me his Shricks if his car dosent sell (so its 50/50 at the moment) as im going to put the standard items back in for him if there is no interest.
He had decat+map @ rstuning and few other bits with them in, made 192bhp....If I get...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
defo!
Passengers are free IIRC! Yes you need a lid...lend one or £10 to rent....
we shall see....hopefully go sometime soon!
Itl top out at 151GPS @ 7500RPM with my box....thanks to Matteh's excel gearbox caluculator majig

Click the HD button for HD....runs 2 and 3 are the best....most of them are upto 7k....i dont dare rev it past that yet!
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
hehe i know mate its all fun ;) you at brands on the 27th? :)
its a possibility I may have changed the cams by then too....shall see!
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Inaccuraccy could also be a fooked speedo cable...wheelspin sending the speedo cable out slightly....and more probably?
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Yes im aware of the other cars ;) dreaming, its maths....want the data haha?
Its going to be high 13's - 14.odd in real life situation, dependant on the day, start, car, driver etc!
We all know about the F7R ITB'd lot over on C16V moaning at F4R's are...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
It works out as 13.1 qtr with some clever maths from Matteh, As i had only travelled 319 meters when I hit 160kmh. I crossed the 402 meters (qtr mile) at 171kmh.
Im obviously not like some on here that will say oh yeah my cars done this, because obv it...
