what happened was: I feared i may have had to pull out earlier, my aux belt decided it liked beig on its own and left the car, of course no tremp guage and now battery light meant i had no idea... until i stopped and i could hear it hissing and my heaters had gone cold :( limped it to a fuel...

nice one cheers bud! 10 hours... so thats all day saturday then lol! Although it appears to be the stat as it aint doing f**k all when ive tested it!

As above? Also new bolts compulsary?

M10 threaded bar, preferably high-tensile. I usually use a headbolt. A nut to fit, a 30+mm socket, plenty of washer. Put the socket over the bar, a 30mm sits nicely on it to give loads of space, put the nut on the bar/bolt, along with a few washers, then wind it into the bar, then use the...

Sir you are a legend.

Ive done it, but i hit a tree 1st. they're fine, ive not know one to flip on hard cornering!

yep using the temp and level sesor from the valver. beanies rev coun ter under-reads like i said. and for the at light its only 1 wire i need to run, just need to find where it goes on the valver side.

pmsl @ the wire holding the exhaust!

what?! airfield then street wars lol! my wallet cant cope with that

set the camber to -1degree. as for the tracking, you dont need the on the rear to set them, however you may need the front wings removed to put the guages on!

Im happy to do the conversion if you want... your only bristol area yea?

lower it! one min thing, nice and cheap and transforms the look of the car!

right on the fse you have 4 connectors yea? 1 vacuum, one IN one OUT and a return? the fuel supply will go into the IN, and then the out will goto the fuel rail, the retrurn will just go on the pipework for the old valver return i belive. kinda hard to work it out without seeing it.

nah mate, some ph1 172s had only a supply fuel line not a return. mine did. So if there is a space for areg and it wasnt fitted, chances are it never had one from the factory... so it'll need to go how waynes fitted his, not with the dummy reg.

no mate as my fuel rail had a space for a reg but it wasnt fitted. just try running some fuel into it and if it pours straight out the bottom then you need a regualtor. guess what, ive got one if that happens ;)

That he fitted it in ther wheeliebin beside his car and that yo shuldnt fit one... anyway: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=22617&d=1188854359 http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l129/rich_zetecs/PICT0253.jpg He has put it in the supply.

:rolleyes: you didnt see what he wrote before i posted.

If you read what he was doing you'd understand he needs one ffs. Right for a better answer, it goies inline, if you look at waynes thread you can see how he did it.

lol they caught you wasting time weighing your car?

yea it was me mate, yea i came to weston for you lol! although i did have a nice play against a 182 on my way home. owned. lol!

Oh so it was a bored out jobbie.. I'll tell you now its not a straight forward swap, and for the exhaust do what someone else did on here and go and get it made by powerflow... little bits dont work here and there i.e the oil level and temp guages, ive tried wiring those up but had no joy...

No worries mate, heres mine before the buckets and removing sound deadening and door cards: and it recently.ish.

Do it mate! well worth doing! what happened to the F7R?

it wouldnt blow a fuse as its not taking more current than it should. plus there are no fuses on the earth side of things. IMO they should fit diodes inline to protect the ecu from such spikes.

brilliant bike, so nice to ride!

fucked the ecu. new ecu needed. i know as ive done it.

16v packed with grease. fan wiring is all in the 16v loom so you have to wire in a new relay etc to use the old fan switch.

right, mine is weighing in at 823kg with half a tank of fuel. dash board etc etc. Seats, door cards, headlining,all the sound deadening, remove the aux tank, remove the sapre wheel and carrier, light weight wheels, light weight buckets, 4 points, any bolts etc not needed, rear seat belts, any...

Also, for the dash, the rev counter doesnt work, and when you get it working it under reads. the temperature guage is also a problem, as there is no output on the ecu for temperature from the cts. if you splie into the cts signal it works until you get upto temp when it must add a load of...

The manifold goes between the bulkhead and the subframe, so the valver pas pipes get in the way. so you'll have to either run a new set of pipes, or see if the 172 rack will fit. Im running no PAS and tbh the steering isnt that heavy compared to if the vaklver lump was in there. You can run...
