Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project i *could* do, but i dont want to, as there is clearly an issue elsewhere....and id rather know what it is, incase it effects anything important (fuel etc)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project i have a ph1 sensor, not needed to use it though... Had the RSTuner running on live data output, watching the vehicle speed when driving. Its spot on, mk1 cable is outputting correctly and giving the reading to the ECU now... Just the limiter is stil...

yep yep got first two defo, heatshield you'l have to see and decide if you want it

finally ;) looking good!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project maybe if the nobber who sold me the fucked first engine gets his act together its a possibility ;)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project i shouldnt need to buy standalone, its a 172 loom, 172 standard ecu, 172 standard engine....172 sensors, its getting the readings it needs sensor wise, so there is no reason why it should not work as it would do in a 172 shell!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project right then..... My ecu is getting the speed reading fine now, got a few logs in RSTuner, all good. Turned out the wire from the sensor to the ECU was damaged (well the pin on the connector block). Anyway, its getting a speed reading perfectly fine...

heat wrap will smoke for a bit considering its new (guessing its new)... my engine was tappy at first, ive put 3-4k on it now and its quiet as anything, all the tappy-ness has gone

yeah probably SamboRT, ben_p's bro

Lowered? sounds like it could be sambo

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project itl be caged in the next week or two, has to be in by brands (27th)....had it sitting here in pieces for 3 months now...then interiors getting a respray straight afterwards

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Will watch the video when I get home Matteh. Clutch cable replaced this morning in 15 mins, easy job, alls good now :) Weather forecast is OK for tommorow so got to crack on with stuff, proper update then.

I just went off what he said in his post, not on the form... Im going sunday so ticked one £12, one £6, as for every full ticket you buy, you get the 2nd half price.... so its £18 for two people for the sunday....same applies for the weekend, £36 for two people for both days...

its vvt solenoid, variable valve timing. not vtec.

Exactly whats happening to the 172 engine in my Mk1, my ECU isnt getting a speed reading that it needs as said (various problems), and my limiter is at 6k exactly..

yes it is........ 4 along from ryan K in the red hoodie, on the end. and as schweppy said, yes its ryan k's 182 turbo.

End of post #82 + #83, i just read I had to send a form off with details and a cheque for tickets so I did lol

7000+ Ours (well mine at the moment, we are unsure with matteh's....is set at 6000, the neutral limiter)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Will go to the left of it, il probably do it in the morning, got all the bits I need....pics will explain all :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project 1st time was original cable i think (130k, lol)...then the current one was from Winston, not sure how old, could be near 100k though! Got a newish one to go on it, hopefully wont be a silly job Not as of yet, turns out that this is one of the 'issues'...

iirc there was an idle control valve for sale in the forsale section on here, as part of a 'breaking 172', cant remember where now though

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Oh....also, ive just had to push the car 2 miles down the road...clutch cables snapped! :(

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah, the top mounts are set to the least amount of camber the shocks are set to the maximum amount of camber (slotted holes) thankfully it retains some negative camber to clear the arches, or i would have to adjust the top mounts slightly :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Few pics of the top mounts that I fitted the other day....Had alot planned for today to get done...Scuttle Induction, Look at brakes suspension, exhaust rattle, loads...but its been non stop rain :( Just nipped out inbetween to get a few pics, and tidy up my...

mine was second hand and its been perfect ;)

Yeah, its that easy. Plug in, connect, download, done. Not sure which is best. Yes you can back them up. Yes it will pass MOT.

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread im free of all the f7p clutter at last!!!

i will be when ive sorted out my cars problems probably....

its split in half, not just chipped lol tad too low on the front and/or not enough camber
