LOL.

I can get them done at a fraction of that Mike, the guy who does all my stickers etc, you know who I mean?

dont think hes going now dude

Ok will do, hopefully the welding will be sorted this afternoon

I might be running a bit late, got a bit of welding to sort out and if its not finished in time I wont make it for 7.30. Il drop you a text Mike to see where you are if I am running late

Costco shuts at half 8, I cant remember if they lock the gate or not....I think they do. Someone take some bolt cutters!

http://www.northwestperformance.co.uk/ they are traders on here, but you might not be able to see their section if your not a member... Its Ryan with the 182 Turbo that runs it if you remember him

NWPerformance are doing genuine rear disks for £150 fitted. Standard pads arent expensive tbh, especially if your not bothered about genuine renault So id say the price is steep yep!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Yeah, the center box on mine used to be like a small cherry bomb silencer rather than a box, didnt make 'that' much difference to noise when removed, just a tad louder under load... Iven taken half the wadding out so il just have to see how that effects it...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Center box? If not get that backbox cut up ;)

Shouldnt be a problem :cool:

looks good. get it done!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project :dapprove: Oh well. lol.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Got some 2.25" already, cheers for the offer though! Had a play around before, cut a section off the side of the backbox as said earlier. The thing was packed out to the max with wadding, no wonder the small tip wasnt making much noise! Removed it all...

I very much doubt there is much gain from removing it power wise TBH, it will just let the engine spin up that tiny bit quicker, not worth it for that though IMO. I removed power steering because it was shi*e, leaked every 2 mins from the main joint and it was a pain in the arse to get to in...

Lol. IIRC you arent qualified enough for a dedicated branch yet ;)

Not to mention a more 'direct' better feel through the steering....

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project LOL. Yeah Dave, it will be slightly further in. It was just a test fit to get the center section length right, so I have an idea of the correct length now.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Been meaning to do this for AGES, think I remember mentioning it around May time when I first did the conversion, but anyways. Got hold of another Mongoose backbox last week, for the purpose of modifying it. Also so it would fit straight onto my current...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project The curse of the Mk1 struck again today, some bad luck (for once in the past few months). As some of you who've seen the car in the past few months will know, the starter was getting 'lazy', which I presume has been caused by excessive heat from the exhaust...

STILL?! lol

Yup as beanie said :)

One of my seals (Exhaust) got 'nicked' by the rocker cover when I was tightening it down, and as a result of that is pissed oil out of the side of the head... Most probably the cause, weather it be exhaust or the dephaser/inlet seal as danny said if its a considerable amount

LOL, good spot....no it wasnt intentional!

lol, was just about to PM you to ask you to bring it along :cool: Fitted a new custom/diy backbox to my system, but need to know what DB's is putting out, I think its around the same (104ish), but if its less im removing some wadding from the box......so would be ideal if I could find out :evil:

Cheers for the comments everyone, glad it provided some entertainment!

Any local factors should stock them or will be able to get them with ease....I have had custom lengths for mine, 855mm and 870mm 5rib etc

lol. Aye, just take a look under the gaitors, you'll see what I mean. Apparently they are a pain to get apart, but its do-able for sure.

Im not on about track rod ends? lol. The whole arms, they come apart from the 'joint' under the gaitor and can be swapped, ive seen it done on another forum. Williams arms onto a manual rack so he could run williams widetrack.
