Re: Road/Track 172 I noticed this when I had them mate, but figured you were aware already. If I'd known you weren't I'd have whacked some in for you like I did a few of the others from the group buy.

It was more a reply for frenchthing tbh Morgan. Thanks for the nudge though as I'd not seen it. :)

Yeah I measured it all on mine and they are monumentally s**t in standard trim tbh. Got all the measurements written down as well. Before you ask, no I'm not posting them! Reason being, I'm packing my house up to get ready to move so it's in a box marked 'shed and car stuff'. The modified hubs...

Any jc5 130 will be fine. You could also fit a jc5 129 (ph2 172 speedo drive box) as the ratios are the same, or a jc5 089 which is ph1 with speedo drive, but has a different final drive ratio.

Your welcome Jacob. :)

Yeah not to keen myself Morgan, but you could easily buy some of the flat universal ones off eBay though.

We've got a gurner at work. Looks like the hobgoblin on the side of marstons trailers. Dead ringer almost!

They're some nice rims you've got yourself there! That garage ain't bad neither! What's the chequer plate stuff on the floor? Vinyl?

Are they the same thread diameter to the standard main bolts then? Or have they been time serted to a bigger size?

Any YouTube links? Looks a real tidy bit of kit that! Prefer the round headlamp version though looks wise.

RSTuning are they high tensile cap head bolts for the main caps? If so what grade? 10.9 12.9?

I'm not sure what offset the f1's are so I'll take your word for it, but ET43 with a 15mm spacer is fine. Just as well eh! Lol

What offset you running Tony?

This is what I'm on about for reference: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/seat-mounting-frames-universal/race-safety-accessories-subframe-mounting-kit

Afraid not but I could take some. You just remove the original seat mounts and weld in the seat rail kit. They're about £40 per seat kit from Tweeks. You can mount your seat as low as you like then. I think James (BIGASH) runs the same tubes in his car as well, so you could have a look in his...

If it's ET 35 your possibly better off with 10mm spacers then Pete, but give it a go on the 15mm spacers and report back.

Would it not be worth welding in seat tubes? I use the pole positions and recaro side mounts along with the recaro universal sliders.

What's your wheel offset pete? The pins fit between the hub and the wishbone and give a greater amount of correction.

Quadcopter next on your private estate! ;) Lol

Yeah as dan says. I just did away with all of it and retained the edges where the 2 panels are joined together to keep a modicum of strength.

Very impressive results right there!

It does flap about a bit but nothing horrendous. You can just about see it in my 'ring lap video mate. It's also speed tested up to 140+mph and it's not distorted it or flown off, so happy days! BIGASH and not normal dan will confirm how ridiculous my bonnet is!

They were 'sourced' shall we say! The maxi engines are just cams, pistons, heat treated rods and a fancy exhaust system and manifold. The cams have no advance needed mate. They go in on the standard marks. Maxi evo however - now that's a different ball game. That's the R3 engine that had bespoke...

If you remove the entire inner skin you can get them down to around 6.5kg. That's what I did with mine.

I've got maxi engine components. ;) The real deal as well. Funny what you collect as time goes by isn't it! Lol

No mate, but he's buying some stuff off me and he has been looking for a good solid car for a while, so yours clearly ticked the right boxes.

I'm trying out some 50mm corrector pins in mine soon. Just the steering arm correction to do, but I'm tempted to leave it at the current ride height and just use the pins to gain more RC correction.

Name of Keith by any chance?

No mate not at all! The new owners got himself a good car. I'd sell mine as is with a full spares package including engine, box, wheels and 888's, 2 lots of suspension and the R3 kit for 7.5k! Sadly I don't think I'd get any takers Morgan! Lol

Are you restricted to the original inlet? Does it have to be single throttle body? There are a few good options open to you if you are.
