Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
i know! surely you would if the neighbour got a tiny bit of sense, they'll realise there not causing havoc by messing with the car on the drive instead of hanging around at the bottom of there drive trying to look all 'ghetto' and giving the 'youths' a bad...
erm best thing to i think if you've taken head of, take it to a garage in morning. they'll be able to unwind the broken bolt out from inside the hub. same thing happened to me they sorted it fine.
its ok ive got some resistors left over from when i did the front seats but have taken any of the belts out yet.
if you can get a pic of what you;ve done and how to remove the belts that would be sound. also what about the middle belt that hangs above in the roof?
if not buying second hand/scrappy
sump - dealer only
front valance - ktec front splitter
engine cover - dealer only
cup wheel - dealer only / or speedline turini for aftermarket
arch cover - dealer only
elliot.
get your mom to sign up on here and she'll get her own cliosport sticker then you dont have to feel silly for putting one on when your not old enough :p
if you buy a cup you'll have no problems with resistors and dash lights for the airbags on them which you have to sort out if its just a normal 172. as for fitment on the sabelt seats im not to sure. maybe best of contacting one of the dealers for sabelt see if they can advise you at all.
just make sure simple things like wipers and bulbs are ok, anything else you know of should have been sorted by now really if anything needs replacing i mean. if it does and you didnt, mot will pick it up. good luck!
happened again today. it cranks yeah, but then i turn it off quickly for fear of flooding the engine! i had this same problem with my old saxo vtr, changed battery and it was fine. leaves me wondering if its battery or crank sensor.
Re: Maynard's 172 Track Car Project - update!
right little update today.
booked my first trckday, went with motorsport vision and have booked for a renault sport evening at bedford in three weeks time. to say im exited like a kid at xmas is an understatement.
stuff to sort now:
clean...
my 172 is intermittently not starting. happens not very often - but happens both when started from cold or after restartiing once being driven.
any ideas?
first thought is crank sensor as its quite common on renault engines, but not sure if it on these?
