Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
As far as I can work it out (not sure how it works out), but a valver box should give quicker accelleration?
Does anyone know how the ratios effect it?
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Valver is shorter ratios... Using Matths clever tool you can see the difference :)
A williams JC5 would be a bit better, similar to a 172 Ph1, but Its finding one....the valver one is ok for now :)
part prices change all the time...
BRUN at renault runs the old system that you can get off ebay and the likes against their new parts system (web based to the dealerships) and quite alot of the prices are miles out :(
Ive just written a full guide on how to fir 172/182 running gear onto a Mk1 dude... http://www.cliosport.net/forum//showthread.php?t=439455
Doubt you will be able to view it on here though if your not a paid member...Its on clio16valver if your a paid member on there too?
well there has only been like 3-4 people that have put 172 widetrack onto a williams (Me, whiteley and two others), so im not sure what they were on about lol...I saw that written though..
Colm....did that parcel get to you?!
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Was bored before, wrote a guide on the 172 widetrack being fitted to a Mk1....More guides to come shortly ;)

yeah probably easier....things like the williams anti roll bar wont fit due to the steering rack (172 arb has a bend in it to accomodate)...but its not worth it due to loosing width :)
mines still got the catch on the back at the moment, thinking of doing away with it but nowhere to put the pins from what i can see....where are the pins bolted onto the chassis on yours?
Also, want to sell your 172 rad if its non-leaking? :)
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
oh dear, not good lol
Erm no idea, this stuff has been in for around 7k now, and its still pretty clean, gone a bit yellow if anything....
My radiator has a hole in it though, tiny one in the bottom drivers side, as my coolant keeps going down and i get a...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Bit of an update from today...
After the box mount shearing off before brands hatch at some point, I had been left with one of the bolts snapped off inside the casing. I had just been running the car with two bolts in the mount instead of three, and the...
cant be that hard...
valver/williams top mount bolted to the chassis....use a 172 ph2 gearbox to keep the digital speed output for the dash, then the 172/182 gearbox mount.... mk2 dogbone mount, all the rest should fit...wiring shouldnt be too hard either really
Seems that there isnt much about them on the internet, but for the price I paid I cant grumble....If needed be I could sell it on ebay for a profit and move on....seems good enough though!
Quite large @ 400mm with the hood on, lol.
Definitely easily on par build wise with the 70-200F4L, will see what its like @ 200mm in comparison when I get the chance with some of my old pics :)
