oh wow, please do teach me about gear ratios - i did not realise you seem to overlook me stating the diesel box was along with the other 'negatives' :rolleyes: If a Williams can barely keep up with a heavier 172, the engine must be doing something better, right? - even then i bet the...

lol allow me free use of gears and you're on! :D

yep, round up the williams and round down the 172 now who's nu labour ;) god knows how mine, with a largely complete interior and a diesel box can keep up with tuned F7Rs in more stripped cars

flan's was a *little* more involved than mine, wouldn't you say? and also take a look at Whiteleys conversion rate before you start spouting that one off I also faffed around for a 10% increase in stiffness with the front ARB. oh no wait. I still can't believe you don't grow weary of being...

so both engines are expensive to tune - why not start off with the better one in the first place?

no ones listening, stromba

I've been uhhming and ahhhing about getting a new front plate I want standard font with no borders or bottom text or GB thing etc.. the cut down one looks good, shame that you still need a 100mm height plate for the 90mm recess :(

spotted heading south this afternoon at about 4:30

yup having wired a 172 engine in to a mk1, i can confirm that the oil temperature (and level) circuit does not go near the ecu mine rev limits at 7500rpm no problems :) on my old 'crap' megane f4r map, the limiter was controlled by temperature. but if the car was warm and you stalled it and...

most are rotten though :p

it would, yeh but that's just not how it works :p

oil temp has nothing to do with the rev limit coolant maybe, but im sure its 7500rpm either way

so confused :dapprove:

something like that :o just need some induction noise like the old F7s!

nice one! :D

wierd.. yours certainly sounded very 'inductiony' when you booted it! :race:

loving the mk1 appreciation! :cool:

wut?! why does mine sound so rubbish then :dapprove:

flol

sash, what IK are you running, it sounded lush! is there any chance i could 'borrow' it one lunch time to take it for a spin? :cool: - or is it plumbed in pretty well? my paper filter is a bit dull :dapprove:

if there's no damage to the head, then they'll just need 'lapping'

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project ...your hubs fell off?

not any stronger, though would most likely have had an easier life longer ratios, yeh :)

i've also got a 1.9D box, but its purely a personal preference for the miles i do i'm not sure if that car still has that box or not... mines still quick enough!

also, this guy seems to have had it.. :D

sure did :D 14.0 on a stock engine is pretty bloody impressive! (had interior and tools in the boot too if legends are to be believed ;)) the history that I know of is that wayne built it it's been sold on a few times tbh, i know cliojohn1987 now has is and that 'dancliovalver' had it for a...

oh, and its for sale on clio16valver: http://www.clio16valver.co.uk/board/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=30034 and another thing, he's listed that it has a 182 exhaust manifold. afaik it wont fit... so double check that!

ran a 14.0 iirc was built by the 172 conversion grand master wayne iirc! :D i'd say go for it! I think on that one that half the dials don't work. but we've sorted that now (all of mine work 100%)
