Alots been happening this week, been SO busy its untrue. Got the gf's car ready for its MOT on Sunday MOT was booked for Weds and it failed on rust, brake lines and top mount so lost a day and a half there. Anyway I started on the wiring as per f0xy's guide: I started by separating out the 4...

yes thats normal for the oil level gauge, its only active for a short period :)

Hey guys, Been doing the wiring today as per f0xy's guide (THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT :D) What I want to know is where do I get the signal for the rev counter from ( I presume its the ecu) if so which pin do I need to splice into, or do I take a connection off of the white plug (Id prefer to...

Okay couldnt do anything on Friday because I pulled my back moving the F4R engine, I spent the weekend getting the wifes car running again and MOT worthy and today I had a late start 11 and early finish 3 because of work and discussing my exhaust options with dad and grandad. I decided it would...

Okay Ill try and track down a ph1 regulator thanks f0xy your a legend :)

Thanks for the replies guys. F0xy so if I take the 172 pump and put it in the valver housing that will physically fit in the tank, will the wiring and pipes all match up perfectly or is it a case of cutting and splicing wires as well? Don't suppose you guys have the part numbers for the fpr...

took fuel rail guard off heres the pics of the rail, looks like an fpr rail but missing the fpr? What do I have here and what do I need to buy? Cheers for your help :)

Hey guys, in the process of converting my valver to f4r and noticed the 172 only has 1 fuel line (green connector) and then it has a line that goes to a black box (inside the drivers wing under the headlight) What do I use for fuel return. I was under the impression that ph1 172's had a feed...

So I pulled my back muscles right down my spine yesterday and couldn't really get anything done today because im in too much pain :( I didn't have enough time last night to update the forums soooo I can kinda progress by giving you guys an update :D So I spent a few hours undoing LOADS of...

Today was a bit unproductive, was underneath the car removing the fuel lines when someone turned up to give me my pure motorsport aircon delete kit: Woohoo :) So set about trying to get the engine out. Now kiz taught me to work from the underneath to the top when removing an engine in a...

I wanted to go from D7F to D4F T on my gf's mk1 but probably too much work

EPIC

Yeahhh you guys noticed I broke the drivers wing again :P Today I didn't really get anything done on the 172, however I spent the day stripping the P down. Managed to get the P stripped down and discovered it was the bottom end that was shagged. All the bits I wanted to sell got organised...

Thanks guys :) should be more updates tomorrow - I have work at 5 so might have to wait a little bit to see those. Going to bed now so i can get an early start want the 172 lump out by tomorrow if possible :)

Dont suppose you need any parts? Im braking an odyssey ph1 atm :)

Yes the (ex) owner of c16v, he got banned by the other admins on the forum and no longer has access to the cpanel etc

so it needs to be shortened down. Mmmm was kinda hoping for an easy install. Nevermind will make my mind up over the next couple days if I want to use it or not. I do prefer the mk2 clocks and would like to use the 172 interior loom so I can keep the better central locking :/

did andyrg make a thread on here? I know he didnt post much on c16v *goes to have a look*

Do you know if it lines up with the existing mounts or does it need some fabrication witch craft? Cheers Lesley :D

yeah lmao, only I hadn't seen it when I text you and didnt look as drastic from the pics LOL

Yeah it was span through a hedge mate. I want the dash and interior loom out of it as well :)

Yep :) looking to *hopefully* fit the 172 dash :)

Has anyone tried fitting a 172 dash into a mk1? Just wondering if the mounts are roughly the same as fitting the dash and the interior wiring loom would mean I would be able to use the 172 alarm/immob/central locking as well as the 172 clocks :) Craig

Spent today getting the s**t P out the car, undid the hub nuts and wheels nuts and bonnet jacked it up and heres where t all began: Kept thinking back to when kiz and pete came over to help me out before and 3 hours later this was the result: Perfect, Set about removing the stuff from...

So I was driving home from uni last Friday and the F7P blew up on me, got the Aa home: I was going to go F7R but have since decided F4R is going to be my best bet. Found a crashed 172 that had been through a hedge spinning - has had the beltws dephaser water pump etc etc changed in October...

Hello all, I want to run PAS or electric steering on my mk1 f4r, I've been told the hard pipes on the valver rack will get in the way of the downpipe, sooo I wanted to know if anyone else had managed to keep pas or use leccy steering on a mk1 f4r Cheers Craig
