Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread :cool:

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Grey hybrid didnt have ABS, but the blue one did. Which meant he couldnt use master cylinder from the blue Valver. I'd assume the 'beebop' didnt have ABS.

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Quite a few other little bits to sort before Brands, but I'd like to think it's about there. Going to try and put a fair few miles on it before hand. Good man on the 1.8, I'll have someone to play with (amongst the 172/182's ;))

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread So far so good today. Rob from C16V dropped an oil pressure sender round for me, so I put that on, fitted new radiator, sorted the oil cooler mounting, double checked if any pipes were rubbing, filled with water/coolant mix. Started straight up, noise has...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project It's OK, I'll call Billy Cranston instead. Hi!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Hi Daz

Just sold my Yozza and gone back to standard with decat, its mint!! lol.

Good effort! I'm guilty of the pansy effort described :(

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread As above, belt has been tensioned properly now using ЯUR tensioning tool v2.0, but the noise is still present. It seemed louder with my head in the wheel arch, which is why oil pump was suggested. Tensioner is 1k old, and the idler pulley on it has less play...

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update* Better! :D Just need 2 matching seats now ;)

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Yeah I checked the cambelt tension and slackened it off slightly this evening which made zero difference. Took the aux belt off temporarily to eliminate that, water pump etc too.

Looks a handful in the wet!

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread All seemed fine turning it over by hand, but things magnify slightly at 1k rpm compared to 1rpm! There's no reason for the cam pullies to be grinding against anything is there? Quite close to cam carriers but not close enough to be a concern. Cams will...

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread It's a possibility. They were torqued but using a half inch wrench to torque to such small values is a bit difficult. Cam cover may aswell come off tomorrow to have a look. I also checked the cambelt tension and loosened that off slightly, so i should have...

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Right. Putting the breather pipe on as suggested above got rid of the whistling type of sound, but its now highlighted another noise when the engine's revved. It sounds normal-ish at idle but any more revs and there's this squealing sort of noise. It sounds...

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Well it runs..... ... but the noise it makes is pure fail. :(

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Swapped belt/idler/tensioner over from the other engine and got that fitted and timed up. Painted the cam pulley cover black too Fitted my newly painted inlet manifold, along with PTFE gasket. Polished the fuel rail a little bit too. Injectors in also...

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Was. :o

Bar the spoiler, I love it! Going Brands end of the month?

There aren't alot of HDI d-turbo's for below 2k when i was looking a few weeks back, some yes but generally mega miles like you'd expect. Much less money and its the older 1.9.

Perfect, thanks. Same as mine.

3 pointers ;)

When did you sell it John?! Love this car :)

Suits your name TBH, riggy!

Typo fail on my part, in this case*

Without meaning to be rude, I can tell! Each to their own aye, but in this case you're wrong I'm afraid :rasp:

Just don't like the look of the seats and the harnesses look a bit weedy, just my opinion!
