    Plastic windows?

    ^^^ cheers! They aren't Kawasaki green they're porsche gt3rs green. Yeah got a few more pictures of the car knocking about somewhere. I'll have a look.

    Plastic windows?

    Cheers! Not had any leakage issues at all with them but they are slightly noisier than glass. Nothing terrible though. It's actually quite civilised when your sat on the motorway @ 70-80mph for saying it's fully stripped of carpets and sound deadening! Lol

    Washer Jets Trickling...

    The wiper spindles are on a taper anyway so the wd40 struggles to penetrate properly. I've seen one removed by using a air hammer on the end of the spindle! Rough as you like, but it came off without damaging a single thing! Lol

    Washer Jets Trickling...

    Yeah fair point. The method i've said about has been by far the easiest one i've found anyway.

    Washer Jets Trickling...

    To get the wiper arms off the easy way, Remove the nut holding it to the spindle, Turn it upside down so the flange/washer is facing upwards, Put some vice grips on so your squashing the nut and arm together (make sense?) Then tighten up vice grips and squeeze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be warned though...

    Plastic windows?

    I'll see what I can do mate. Never uploaded a pic before so I'll do my best!

    Plastic windows?

    The thermoformed ones are the same shape as the original glass so it fits into the tailgate and rear quarters properly. Use Sikaflex to bond them in as well. I paid more than 400 for mine but they were with the oe black borders and the oe look green tint. My front windows don't open either, i...

    Toastfrenzy's Tin Top, some say...........

    After chatting with Curtis at ast, the sportline 2's are the more track focused option that's out there without blowing 2k+ on kw's Motorsport set-up. With the ast's you specify what spring rates you want and the dampers are valved to work with them within a set range, so you could go softer on...

    Toastfrenzy's Tin Top, some say...........

    You can "modify" the v2 kit to be more suited to the track work. I have done with mine but it meant getting stuff revalved to suit. Now it works just how I want it to and it's not horrendous on the road really. Doesn't rattle your fillings out! Lol

    Plastic windows?

    Yep I have the full kit in my track cup. Got thermoformed all round with the oe black border. Expensive but excellent fit. Nice guys to deal with as well.

    Pure motorsport

    From experience its so much easier to just ring up the companys you want to buy bits from. That way you can ask them any random questions you may have about the product they offer. I have the Pure Motorsport rear beam bearing kit + rear camber shims and i rang up to place my order. It arrived...

    My ITB'd 172 cup fast road/ track car project

    Buckets and harnesses are mint - right up to the point when your strapped in and can't reach the door to close it because you forgot, or you want to adjust the heater! Lol! Trust me, it happens! They do hold you in place so much better though. I do the 10hr drive to the Nurburgring in mine as...

    Flocking?

    Sbp are based in Nottingham mate so not far from you really. They did my track car dash. Well chuffed with the results!

    172 Cup Track/Fast Road car.

    Even the KW V2's give understeer out mate. I run them and even on the stiffest setting they're to soft for track. I'm getting mine revalved, shortened and then running shorter and stiffer rear springs. Front dampers and springs are spot on though tbh with the V2's.

    Omex vs GEN90 vs EC-1

    Gen90 is GEMS software based for anyone who wants to know. Found out off a guy who has a lot of dealings with GEMS.

    harness mounting help?

    Ah i see! They're designed to be mounted to the original seatbelt mounting points if i rememeber right. In the uk you just need the FE release mechanism to be road legal.

    ITB/Omex fitting questions

    Yhpm. Can't see the engine managment light and coilpack light causing you a problem tbh. I know a decent garage in Lincoln that would do your mot and not be bothered about the warning lights. They don't do bent mot's, they're just understanding as they have had track toys themselves.

    harness mounting help?

    Really!? Which one's have you got? I've got Profi 111-fe asm with added crutch strap.

    ITB/Omex fitting questions

    Its only safety related function warning lights that will cause it to fail mot as of 2012 according to my mate who's a mot tester. If a car is equipped with abs for instance, if you then remove the entire abs system it can't fail its mot. Obviously on a cup abs is not a issue but the airbag side...

    harness mounting help?

    Yeah fair point mate. I'm only going off the fitting instructions that came with my schroth harnesses. They were pretty specific about how the lap, shoulder and crutch strap should be positioned so I just did as it said. I looked on the net for any info I could find regards mounting harnesses...

    harness mounting help?

    The harness mountings are supposed to spaced no wider than your hips believe it or not. They are also meant to be within a certain angle range. They will f**k you up worse than a drive by if your in a accident and they're not mounted correctly mate.

    172 Clio mk1 track car (M42TUA)

    I can assure you mate that to fit the 197 inlet to a 172 head requires a hell of a lot of work as i've done it myself!!

    Members/users with ph2 track cars get in here

    Hello mate, I have a road legal cup track car that I use at the nurburgring so I'm very interested in this. I run a v6 airbox so would need a 100mm feed if possible? Also what sort of price are we looking at to get this carried out? Cheers.

    Fletch's 150k 172 Project..

    Thanks mate! I should've put a project thread up on here when I built it. Just never got round to it.

    No problem mate. Hope they were of some use.

    PAS cooler / oil cooler ?

    The return pipes are the larger diameter pipe. Look in demon thieves for oil mate. I'll look on mine tomorrow to see what size the pipes are.
