Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
Day 139
Put two tyres on the turbines so I could drop the hybrid back on its wheels (so I can tow it when I find somewhere, and to keep my mum happy, lol)...Looks so high with no engine in :(
Engine went onto the stand yesterday, so much easier to work on...
aye the arches as we call it, had a few meets there.....
behind speedkarting/ninemeister? underground car park? riverside industrial? westbrook industrial...there are loads
....spinning would = revs rising quicker and no speed though, wouldnt it?
the revs slow down and speed up multiple times through the rev range, its not gona spin then stop spinning then spin then stop is it...?

I wouldnt bother DIY'ing it, sounds pretty dangerous lol....im sure there are places that can do it though if you take stuff to them....google?
Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
Hopefully everything will work out how im thinking, lol
Double checked all the engine loom, and started re-wrapping it, so thats that out of the way...
Also stripped some of the 172 engine down earlier, Air-Con/PAS/Alternator removed and the brackets, ready to fit the...
Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread
Just spent 20 mins getting the b*****d bottom pulley off, i think i bent something internally on the valver engine, as the cambelt isnt on, when i turned the pulley bolt it hit a stop, think it was pistons on valves, LOL
Anyway, its the wrong part number :(...
