Another good weekend, bit better than last year with regards to setup and member numbers! We stayed with the Mk1 lot on saturday night in kettering, good to put some faces to names once again.. Matteh: Beanie/moo's Saxo: Few others: Then from 'the show'... Mine + Jams... Ben...

whoever it was looked like they were enjoying the shade, they had a blanket down under the bridge and both sitting on it!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project maybe, videos will have to do for now lol

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project lol, you at renault world series?

IIRC he was having problems, ended up rebuilding the head last night to get it to FCS, and then the cambelt snapped at the show today :(

bad times :(

Nice pics, even a couple of mine :)

Nice pics.

finally I met the S13.....now you know what its like ;)

not sure at all, needs mapping now... they were originally in the yozza "1.2" cup, which then got broke and they went to tooney....tooneys 172 cup had matched inlets, itg filter, matched inlets, decat etc, and made 192bhp with them in once mapped... so we shall see when I get it sorted!

just got back..........good day out, better than last year imo!

comedy! dosent bother me, has enough power to make plenty people say "why am I getting beat by a car with a barry exhaust" then ;)

You were sat under the bridge, black 172 somewhere between junc 14-16 maybe?! Anyone?

On the way towards the M6 start/M1 junction....coming back from FCS? ClioSport.net Sticker in the back window...

barry, lol. Sorry it couldnt be a 5" slash cut from argos :)

Needs alot sorting, mapping, replacement gearbox...but its driving for a bit at least :boring:

RyHEMcFvGHM Removed the center silencer on the exhaust, fixed the blowing manifold, sorted the knocking exhaust, so went for a few blasts on my runway :evil:

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project RyHEMcFvGHM So much better power delivery without the manifold blowing, its still on the standard map and shifts alot better....cant wait for map now!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Just spent like all afternoon sourcing and fitting a new manifold downpipe gasket, as it was embarrassing how much it was blowing, was undrivable! after a lot of hassle its now on and drives alot better, no more blowing....off to do a few videos now :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project just about all in time for that date then, cool :clown:

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project i have a box with every receipt for everything in...may add it up in a few years, but im not too bothered! its all about the fun of keeping it running, learning new things, and driving it as much as possible :evil:

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project ditto ;) Considering im not going to the ring in july now (boohoo), got... 6th July - Cadwell 11th Aug - RenaultSport Cadwell and probably one at Donnington inbetween....along with the RenaultSport one at oulton (thats been rearranged to november, doh!)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah, they are nice! the map isnt right, really boggy up to just under 3k, then pulls like a train... waiting for a schrick map from henk hopefully, see how that goes. Its not really 'loud' now, im just comparing it to what it used to be... I had...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project i wish ;) nah a mate did. cut it to length, he picked it up, welded it, brought it back within 20 mins, so its all good!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project all done....quite a bit louder, defo how it should have been in the first place! will post a few vids tommorow :)

depends which cam is out, and by how far....its not hard to get the timing wrong when doing the belt IMO, as the pulleys are not keyed on the end of the cams...it will run upto so many degrees out (few on here have had them running fine but down on power after cambelt changes)

iirc it never moved properly.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Picked up some 2.5" straight stainless pipe this morning, just took the center section off... Center silencer cut out, straight pipe welded into the place....hopefully should give a bit more noise, just got to fit it now!

I think some require the strut tops to be drilled, and others fit without drilling... I have the AST ones, which require no drilling, straight fitment...Ive not been in a car with any of the others, but I can say solid top mounts by far made a noticeable difference to the drive, and the 'feel'...

nice progress, hopefully meet it and you on a track sometime soon!
