exhaust is on i have gears ive adjusted the clutch pedal so i can actually select gears... :D problem i'm having is that the car will start and idle fine... occasionaly it might cut out... but restarting it is impossible :( Im using a CTS out of a 1.6 as it looked the same :p - could this be...

Re: My mk1 track car blog i've been away at the nurburgring! so not done anything to the clio today i'll get the exhaust bent which should allow me to fit it correctly and also run the car without pissing off all the neighbours...

Re: My mk1 track car blog nice one on gettign it running! anything to do with that 'earth' i mentioned?

it's alive... sorta... it runs but then after a while just dies :( - looks like its using oil too, but im not sure if thats cause the engien was completely dry before and the oil is still finding its way around?

sorry, what i meant bonnet wise was that you can fit the ph3 bumper to any phase bonnet or fit any phase bonnet to the ph3 bumper (lights permitting)

the only 'difference' with the ph3 is that is has the grill integrated... the bonnets are all the same

the 'old' looking bits are my old 16v exhaust.. so only 2" i think not measured the new stuff, but it looks big! :p but yeh, at some point i'll replace it with a bigger size the fact im not running a mid box or cat should help though?

yeh (thermostat housing as it was easiest :p - need to move it somewhere more secure i think) spent all day today running around trying to sort my exhaust... cut and measured all the pieces myself under the car and got them welded up looks brilliant, but the bend right after the...

thats the one orange and black covering?

went to an exhaust place and just tried a few downpipes! :D forecast looks grim! :(

if i felt like getting an ASBO, i'd go drive it now! :p

plugged in my fan relay... and now my fuel pump primes! :p crazy thing! I'm insured on it (172 and mods declared!) I taxed it today (and declared it as a 1998cc) It has MOT (even though its been rebuilt :D) the coolant is in! (my hose adapters arrived) all I need is my exhaust really, the a...

brilliant! :D

Beanie, could you give me a clue as to how to wire up the coolant temp guage and the rev counter (even if it only reads half for now?)

:D :D well chuffed with it! I just need to find somewhere to make me a downpipe tomorrow and ill be ready! :) the problem i had is there is an 'earth' which seems to have about 80k resistance on it? hadnt connected it to the engine... as soon as i did, it fired in to (asbo) life!

yeh, i need to fit an ICV still :( the battery is weak as fook and i dunno if the alternator is charging properly, so maybe it was just drained... but im happy! :p

I can't see an ratings on it, apart from 12v

yeh, shows up as PAS for me too, but afaik, the PAS doesnt have a relay? 3 and 4 both just switching 12v 3 & 4 are missing in that pic, but they're the same as 5

can someone confirm the part numbers of the engine control relay and the fuel pump relay in a mk1 172? I've got them both as 77 00 414 484 but my fuel pump wont run on it (runs if I bridge it myself though)

must... stop..buying... non-vital.. parts!! :D

Re: someph-ing different........... phor phux sake freebone... enough of the 'ph' already ;)

yeh geesus :) the project is starting to get to me now :( got the deadline looming and it still needs so many more bits to get it running :( :( Reckon I still need: 172 downpipe - hopefully getting this tomorrow (and hopefully it'll include the lambdas!! but knowing how much i seem to have...

i've got the 172 one, yeh not sure where to mount it though :p

I'm waiting for dj-roberts to send me my CPS!! :(

Beanie was saying is fan runs constantly on the 172 rad... the 16v rad has a temp switch... ive got a 182 rad sitting here, might just install it and see

he apparently used 16v lower hoses, but I can't see how they'd fit... think Dan has gone to ground ;)

wayne, I hear you used the mk1 rad on your conversion? how did u do the coolant pipes?

oops.. meant 197 :o <insert comment about actual performance figures here>
