I have them all round, quite a lot of saving IMO, especially the rear screen.
Might be different on yours, newer car/glass type, plus you have to bond them in? luckily mine just pop into the standard seals
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Ive put the one from your car inside it, from inside the ECU casing lol
Did you manage to speak to Ant? Or when he is back in?!
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
i think my ECU connector got wet...
I relocated my ECU to the scuttle the other day, ran fine etc, then had a LOT of rain yesterday, and it didnt want to start...
Towed it home, left the ECU off, not rained all night and this morning, plugged it in and...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
plugged laptop in, no faults...
tried to start....fired up first time?!
Just checked the wiring, all seems fine. God knows!
yes you tap the sensor into the side of the housing, mk1 item, and run the wiring for it
for the tacho you take one of the coil signal wires, splice off it, put in a 10k resistor pullup (one side of resistor on the signal wire, one side going to a 12v live), then run the signal wire all the...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
cant have surely? it drove for 3 miles after the puddle completely fine...
drove it heavier rain before and its been fine etc...
think a wire may have come loose somewhere....will see tommorow!
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
with ease iirc ;) lol
god knows whats gone wrong, i drove it in quite heavy rain few miles down the road this morning....went through a puddle on passenger side (quite a big one, 30mph), but car was fine for rest of journey...
turned it off, left for...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
ah cool nevermind.
well the cars back home now after a tow (lost count how many times now lol), just taken the casing off the ECU and all looks OK inside, nothing come off from the emulator and nothing moved, so its got to be wiring/sensor related on the...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
nah, i bought it in january, delivered in february, just had it sat around waiting for someone to weld it :(
cage is already partially painted black (where i wont be able to paint once its welded in), and the whole interior is being painted in body color :)
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
its been fine for a month, started and stopped god knows how many times!
Its been parked up today, had some heavy rain earlier, then gone out to start it and it wont go? Meh.
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
oh and the car is broke again, woo :)
Went out to start it after being parked up all day, cranks and fuel pump goes like it should....dosent start though. Exact same issue as last time....how? God knows.
I drove it here earlier, and now it wont start....fail.
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
it would start just dead chuggy.
its reet now wires have dried out, was either that or coilpack....need to wrap them wires up tommorow i think lol.
got loads of jump leads, even got some in the car already. but 1. its pissing down, 2. im at haydock lol
Its supposed to brighten up later, if you aint sorted it il come down
have you tried jumping it off another car yet?
both batteries could be flat. hook it upto the micrabomb while its running and see if it turns over.....the starter solenoid wont even engage the motor if there isnt enough power in the battery
been playing moving ecu to glovebox instead of passenger footwell, and some other things, and now it wont start...
think its the starter motor which has gone at the same time just by co-incidence, tried all the usual stuff of hitting it with hammer, different battery etc...just needs to bump it...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
bought it off 'Jezleman' or something on here, then had it modified (different diagonal piece, etc)....
Then sold it to minivalver, who sold it to eckascliovalver i think...
yeah, seemed a right idiot that guy!
I was in convoy with all the other NW lot, but they were going too slow and I wanted to get home, was too hot in my car haha!
Will keep an eye out for you around warrington, car looked nice!
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
£60/hr + I was quoted, full day at least.
Would be cheaper to go to customcages and get them to fit it, which is still ridiculous labour charge considering it isnt any 'special' welding, just positioning and welding.
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
yeah, already got that sorted for whenever im ready. Ive done some grinding inside this morning, so I can just take the footplates and cage to someone and say do it.
Will see how far I get with it!
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
The leaking is sometimes an issue in mine...no heaters or blower unit, when water comes in everything steams up, no way of getting rid! Daily driver at the moment too, so im hoping the weather stays like it has been!
Think my full cage weighs 29kg, or thats...
