cv joint sounds very very suspect, can you locate where its from?

told you.

;) :)

isit a ph1 172? if so its most likely the rear mount.

in theory yes. in practise not always.

lol, that hasnt moved for ages... nor has the tractor!! lol!

thats the inertia switch, cuts the fuel if you crash. nothing major or dangerous. but if your car cuts out whilst driving and wont restart be sure to check that 1st

What Reg is it? If its blue it'll be wither 449(williams blue) or 432 (monaco). 449 is williams blue and is 1991-late 95 432 is late 95 onwards. my N reg is monaco - 432. but ive seen an M reg thats williams blue.

pedal or throttle body. the ecu has to be read in the car as the ecu doesnt have a fault logging system. where are you based as im sure there will be a specialist near by.

this one, but its been edited...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8BHucX0ZLQ

Shes cranking again, fuel pump priming, fan wired up on a switch, reverse lights wired up, i think ive found the rev counter and the coolant temp sensor... well heres some low quality teaser pics. the mess of wires! and just the engine bay:

what i paid,but i know i wont get that! I paid £15 to have it soldered in plus £40 for the chip, so £40 posted.

Will deffo get some vids up, most likly at the airfield... and i'll try and mount a video for streetwars.

well guess i best update this... new loom is in, pmurray is hopefully getting the ecu sent out to me today, need to go and finish certain parts, like get the reversing lights wired up and wire in a new relay for the fan...

aye mines a gunnerchip. already soldered into an ecu too.

Re: My mk1 track car blog can you pm it to me please mate!

ph1 172's respond sooo well to the inlets. ported the inlet on mine and it returned 181bhp on a standard map.

I have a chipped williams ecu here which i dont need anymore.

all new brakes, new wishbones+arb bushes,engine mounts. that'll stiffen it up again.

wossner are cheap for a reason. try and get arias or a make like that

aye you can on the 5's but it wont be fluttering onless there is something wrong. or you have en external wastegate. but then again even with the rally cars etc they get compressor surge rather than wastegate chatter.

aye, a vacuum is formed when there is a restriction and the engine is actually sucking rather than being filled at atmospheric pressure. you want to find where the restriction is, you need a glass tube about a meter in length bent in a u shape around a 25mm pipe, with indecators at 10mm apart...

^^ not as such very very rarely do you ever hear the wastegate. what is usually heard is the turbine stalling.

engines dont suck as such, they just get filled with air/fuel at atmospheric pressure.

Yea, it was no where as busy as that last time!

Its a different exhaust manifold and fuel map that gives the extra 10bhp (if that).

you were at street wars last time wernt you? i'll hopefully be there this time in my 172hybrid.

as for revision purposes you dont want the exhaust ports to match the manifold.

Aye thought i recognised the car! im from bridgwater/street
