Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Decided not to for now, even though it was mentioned that I could probably do it without doing the towing licence as long as I got one huge ass tow car.
Thing is, im 21 in february so waiting until then to get a 'proper' decent every day car, as insurance...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Just thought id post this, as its now been decided that this is definitely not a winter car lol!
First proper frost last night really, by 8pm the inside and outside of my windscreen were frozen solid, along with the sunroof on the inside. The clocks were...
Get hold of someone with an RSTuner, plug it into your car and it should show the software version/calibration details. It will also show you the programming/flashing history.
You dont need a licence for your car to do this, I used mine for diagnostics on other peoples cars when I had it and...
Some 172s and most 182s have it...
The driveshaft is two piece....comes off the box to this bearing in a straight line, then off to the hub. Bolts onto the 3 holes on the back of the block, not got a pic to hand unfortunately!
Id remove them completely too...
Do what 'Willy Lover' said, then....undo the hub/shaft bolts on the hubs, 30mm. Then undo the shock bolts and pull the hub towards yourself. You'l be able to get the driveshafts out then.
Although, you might have it a bit more complicated than a 172, due to you...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Ah cool. A member of another forum that I'm on has offered to make me up the gussets for the doors/screen/main hoop for a lot less than Custom Cages charge (£25+VAT Per Pair!), so ive been making templates for him today...saves me messing round and having to...
Schrick can be used on standard managament, yes. I had them in mine. Adamio has too with good results I think.
I sold my set to Chris/480bhp. Hes got them up for sale at the moment for cheaper than CatCam/C&B/etc, bargin really.
You can get this stuff that comes in liquid form, you paint it on and it turns to like a putty/mask within a few minutes. You can spray the unmasked area then peel the putty/mask off...works perfectly on stuff ive used it for, may do on bullets too
If its the Konigsports you are wanting, someone I know got the price down on these a bit and then free delivery....

If you are wanting Highsports you will easily get them for under £400. Doubt you...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Yeah, will make sure the door bars are last to be welded!
Did you make your own gusset plates? Flaring tool to make the holes or something?
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Yeah, after having a look the other day passing it through to the struts shouldnt be too much of an issue... My bulkhead bar is near enough the correct height for the wiring hole on the passenger side.
This was due to be sacked off and welded up at the...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Not myself no (yet). Something I need to learn really, but in no major rush to really.
Lad I know just round the corner has quite a big MIG unit, literally takes him minutes per weld if everythings ready, prepped and cut to fit.
Im just going to spend...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
My Sparco Corsa's went to their new home this morning...hope you get some good use out of them Jams!
Anyway, this afternoon headed over to Chris's (480bhp) and picked up the replacements. One of them is still in the wrapping as it came from Tweeks back in...
