5 Hours, 210 Miles Later... And ooops, maybe went a bit fast round one corner :p Last minuite decision as to go, left at 7pm this evening...Chris (W17GLE) Took us the scenic route to the triangle, then round it, then the scenic route back via Bets-Y-Coed, up towards...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Picked up a complete Ph2 interior loom off Geesus69 earlier this morning, hopefully this will solve some of the problems, going to try it on the car shortly. Also picked up some AST top mounts from him, seeing as the group buy failed. Off to fit them now...

So for those on the list already (that schweppy made) we need to send the form/payment off, then we get the tickets/wristbands etc.... On the day(s) are we parked as a club ie. cliosport, or as a whole ie. all the clubs?

Schewppy, if we have our name on the list for prescott (in the other thread), do we need to do the ticket form in the post above?

Plate was R44 CUP maybe....looked clean...you went past me earlier today... anyone?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Well ive found a workaround that will fix the rev limiter (although now I wont have a speedo, lol) Got a 172 ph1 gearbox speed sensor (Cheers ben), going to wire that in like it usually would be to the ECU, and I know this WILL fix it....but as said, I wont...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I wont have any doorskin, they are on the cut out list next ;)

nah, got plenty of cases, quite a few sata' drives lying round (although, are sata2 that much different?) Im thinking of getting a small high speed sata2 drive to use as a render/scratch disk, which will aid in speeding rendering up apparently

that comes to around £250 for components... Im going to get a new PSU also.... Im looking to spend no more than £400 all in really, components wise. I had a 'Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.6GHz 95W' in mind at first, but I really dont know how far to go with it to be honest....anything that will...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Gona cable tie some speakers to the pillars and run a HU behind the seat....rig ups ahoy lol My iPod dosent go loud enough to be heard on the fullest volume when driving lol

Im not going to leeds for nothing, done that enough times in the past as everyone knows ;)

Was supposed to be going this saturday to that rolling road day that Kevo has organised, but doubt I will be now due to the issues mentioned few pages back with rev limiter etc

Nah, proper exhaust this time ;)

Ph1 ;) The car was a Mk1 Ph2, but ive fitted a Ph1 Tailgate, Ph1 Mirrors, Ph1 Sidestrips, Ph1 Rear Lights, etc Its a pipercross viper, only temporary as ive not sorted the scuttle filter yet

Correct about the type of bonnet....pain! Nah, its still latched on the catch at the back, so you have to go inside, pop it, then flick the aerocatches up...lift off :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project no ABS sensors in the hubs or rings on the driveshafts, both removed ive tried 3 speedo cables now....Im either not turning it slow enough to output, or they are all farked (which would be a rediculous co-incidence) If i have the + and - the right way...

Yeah, ive got a few up...gona make a post when they are all done and yeah ive got that one adam was on about, just need to upload it :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project nah mate...its to do with the way the 172 ECU works. It needs a reading from the gearbox (on a ph1) to tell it what speed the cars moving at. We thought the mk1 system was the same, wire from the speedo cable, and ran it back to the ECU, but it dosent give...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Will investigate further tommorow. Just a quick catch up....Fitted allsorts recently, Braided lines, etc...freshly painted Ph1 Bootlid, Ph1 Mirrors, Ph1 Rear lights, Ph1 Sidestrips....gave the whole thing a clean and went for some pics :) Got all...
