    My new racecar project (Icemans old shell)

    Dotted lines before the pms manifold and solid lines after? Can't see the rpm, does it peak at 7500ish?

    DannyR's 10th Ph1 Clio Thread... Everyone always comes back... Again...and Again!

    It didn't drone on the Cup but that had a cat fitted so hopefully that'll sort it for you.

    T4RKO 172 Cup

    Good tool kits for the money, can't complain about them at all. Shame about the air filter plate, I'd be fuming!

    Is it that high due to lacking vvt?

    sonny172cup "track car to race car project"

    I've been looking at the usual 422/423 but I've also been considering using a 197/200 dephaser with catcams 404 and mapping in the continuous vvt control

    Thought I'd share....

    Some longer trumpets might help your torque no end, those Titans look really short. The 423s have a peak torque band from about 4.5-7k RPM so short trumpets won't gain you anything there.

    Interested to see how you get on without the VVT. I'm debating what to do with my forged engine, would be a waste not putting some BIG cams in down the line.

    172 cup brake set up in a phase 1

    Go to a scrap yard or look on ebay for a Mondeo master cylinder. Guarantee you you'll find some cheap or for free. Otherwise you've got the cost of the bias valve and all the pipes and fittings.

    172 cup brake set up in a phase 1

    Run one of these on each brake line straight off the master cylinder http://www.fordpartsuk.com/shop/ford_mondeo_brake_pressure_reducing_valve___f_1113008_c_806.htm I got mine for free though from a freind with a spare mondeo master cylinder.

    172 cup brake set up in a phase 1

    I just run Ford in line pressure reducers from the master cylinder to the rear lines. Feels perfect. If you want it adjustable then I would tee both rear lines into one bias valve with 1/4" diameter fittings (its about the same as 2x 3/16" fittings so you don't restrict anything). Then 1/4"...

    ITB's backfire why?

    All the injectors ok? No air leaks? You mean Jenvey ;)

    RichjWilliams - Track Day Trophy #343

    You need 5mm spacers with the ET35 1.2s. I also ground a bit of material off the callipers for better clearance.

    ITB'd Road & Track Ph1 Titanium 172

    Haha yeah I'm not the only one! ;) Its mounted with a alloy bracket I made and a cable tie. The fan is fitted with a fan fitting kit. I'll be selling the rad and fan when I start stripping the silver one.

    Pro race 1.2 with 205/50/15 on 182

    You don't need camber or 195 tyres tyres for ET35. You can run between ET 45-25 with 195 or 205. ET35 is better for clearance all round with shocks, inner arches etc.

    172 ph1 gearbox go bang!

    Put a 172 cup gearbox in, it has a better final drive which suits the car much more. The Ph1 box makes it feel a bit lazy in comparison. So get a JC5 129 instead of the JC5 089. Both are speedo drive boxes and a straigh swap for one another.

    Front calipers for 172 cup

    Its my place of work unfortunately so Friday and Saturday are out. I'll be around there tomorrow from around 7am until about 6.30pm. Otherwise if you pay by gift I'll do them for £35 and get them to the courier tonight so you should have them for the weekend.

    Front calipers for 172 cup

    Yeah mine came off my Ph1 before I put the Brembos on, they work perfectly. Postage and paypal fees would make it £40. I'd take £25 cash if you collected from CH4 0DR

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    The current one needs a diff. Surely more power and torque will make this even more apparent...ffs Renault.

    Spacers for track car. What's max for rear and front?

    Normally on FWD the rear is narrower than the front to make it understeer less. But all that changes when you start playing with different geometry settings and suspension anyway. Personally I'd like to go as wide on the back as possible

    Mk1 FRS would be nice. Would you make that as mint as the Ph1?

    ClioIV RS Trophy?

    The box is good. I hope they keep it but have a full manual paddle mode with no beeps and stick a diff in it. They won't though. It'll be paint, wheels, remap and 5mm lower for an extra £3k or something

    Track Tyres - Feedback and Recommendations

    My new car came with these on the front. It was chucking it down on the drive home and they seemed great. Very good in the dry too. They are very wide for a 195 profile tyre. As wide as 205 RSRs

    Nice big space to work in :) I'm going to have to try and get mine side by side outside.
