Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project left the FCS 06 sticker in the windscreen, too ;)

nah, just rung a proper place....was gona ring some pikey scrap yard down the road, but thought may aswell do it proper....they sort out all the DVLA stuff and send u confirmation of it being disposed etc...all free collected it half hour after i rang, removed the wheels, few bits of scrap...

mines painted, satin black rattle can...dosent flake at all and its very flexible, the mk1's even have hinge bits where the 'grilles' are....been fine!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project au revoir!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project 1994... I was gona use the windscreen for mine, but oddly its got a big crack at the bottom right hand corner

lol, its been off the road since the end of april chris, nothing....just stripped it bare and stocked up on spares, was my runaround for a while.

it lasted 3 months then the bottom end went....so no lol. did last 185k though!

yeah pushing it to the end of the driveway in the morning and whipping them off, then getting it taken!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project making room for the project originally, but cant work at home anymore, lol.

how many of you clicked because you thought it was the hybrid? ;) Finally going tommorow, been sat there for a month....Had a solid few days finishing removing anything I needed, few things left on that were either broke, worthless or rounded off....that reminds me, il remove the...

so far... ;)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah^ exactly...there is about an inch clearance now!! must have been like that for ages just gotta get that one snapped thread out then a new bolt in, and hopefully it should be fine....all the bolts are at 50nm now so defo the right torque! Not done...

as said^.... pop the front wheel off and measure the distance between the shock bolts center to center, if its 60mm you have the cup pack suspension, if not, you dont..

they are 18mm.

nice, enjoying the lens?

well I went for FK as they were ok on my old car, and not a bad price, plus i was making the holes bigger so didnt want to be modifying 700quid coilovers etc They have been spot on to be honest, well good enough for me at the moment. Done about 10k or so and had no issues, and about 2k with the...

heh ;)

well.....what hub bolts are you using at the moment, the valver ones? did you put the valver ones through the hub to check size? they should be 1mm to small, not a spot on fit, so the hub has got room to move technically thats the only reason i used 172 bolts really, as they are spot on fit to...

cool. i fitted bigger bolts as the 172 hubs take bolts that are 1mm larger than williams/valver ones, fatter so to speak...plus stronger I didnt want the bolts 'moving round' in the holes once they had been bolted through. Depending on what coilover choice (or standard williams), its only a 2...

yes should fit perfectly fine. im running williams coilovers (fks) with 172 AST solid top mounts. I had the holes for the bolts on the coilover made 1mm larger (0.5mm off all the way round), to accomodate 172 hub bolts and nuts... Wiring, are you keeping the valver loom inside etc and merging...

its because they are valver coilovers... williams shocks/coilovers are different, due to them being made for williams widetrack the exact same happens if you run valver shocks on williams widetrack you now have 172 widetrack that is even wider than williams widetrack, with valver shocks, so...

ooooffft.....you gona take me for a spin when we get to the hotel before FCS? lol

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Already got a couple of gazebos....if i put one of them up id probably get killed! Anyway, we towed the car to the factory without a box mount on, then ive been doing it there. Put a fresh mount on (with no rounded holes), and a fresh rubber top bit.....put...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project i would have to remove the wingmirrors to get it in, then I would have no way of getting out lol

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project nah not wide enough and its full of crap unfortunately :(

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah, told them to f**k off many a time, its just my mums gone off on one now and there is no way around it this time! Looked before I started the 172 conversion for a unit, looked for over a month and found nothing within a reasonable distance, so i might...
