Thought it was P clips and cable ties? Looking good jams, the red looks quite good if i'm honest, be good to see it in the flesh sometime

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project ah yes, forgot you're running mk1 clocks

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project But aftermarket ones can run off the new ecu and saves having double the amount of ecus and wires

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Out of that lot Pectel would win everytime, but it aint cheap. At the end of the day you get what you pay for, Omex is ok for what you pay, there are better for sure, but it will be reflected in your wallet! TBH i'd wished i'd spent a bit more ;) And...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project You are right in the theory, however mine does exactly the same. if i wiggle the plug on mine it comes back, but most of the time it's fine. When i was experimenting with problematic sensors, i found if the sensor was a nats c0ck too close the rev...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project That's 100% the crank sensor. mine does it too

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Nah, Chris has just got a fetish about having random clio parts scattered around his garage!

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Throttle bodies FTW. You both need some!

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread I wonder :rolleyes: what :clap: that :cool: will be:hail:?

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Nice pics, looks dark and mean with no plates

buy my head unit in the for sale section, dvd head unit with ipod connection

Exactly. Like i was saying days back, the omex 600 is fine, but if i knew what i know now, i would have got a better ecu, be it omex or not! You get what you pay for

If people's budget are too small to do the job properly, then i wouldn't do the work! Majority of the time the customer has no idea what they need (not want) and need advising as such without being ripped off.

That's nice for you shame you weren't around when mine was sorted because it never has passed an emission mot test, with cat fitted, just been lucky with the tester i use. Will be all different and better soon

^ that's what i was trying to say, lol

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project sweet, it's a shame you aint just round the corner for me to just bang em in

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project have you got the door bars sorted?

The £100 sensors you are on about are the slow ones. £1k ones i've seen with my own eyes when used to tune Pectel ecus. Who said i had done the timing or changed the head? when i went on a group power run the engine and ecu was as it left the workshop 18 months before. i then altered the...

So your saying for control a £50 narrowband sensor is better than a £1000 wideband? whatever. maybe they keep the coils because so many cars have them? nissan and renault use the same coils and probably others too I never said there was anything wrong with wasted spark, i said there was...

A cheap wideband IS slower than a narrowband, however a proper wideband is not slower than a narrowband, else you wouldn't be able to map with it! I also disagree with the unreliable pencil coils, if they were that bad, why has most manufacturers gone over to them (197 inc.) . IMHO i would say...

Sequential ignition and fueling, wideband control, traction control, logging. The 600 is fine and does what you pay for. Minimum i should have got would have been the 710

Well you need to decide if your have itb's or not, cos imho an aftermarket ecu is a bit of a waste unless you do because you'll gain nothing over a remap on your standard ecu and it'll be a lot cheaper

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project was told your sunroof took a bid for freedom

i have an omex 600, while there is nothing wrong with it, there is a lot better options availiable. May i ask why bother with another ecu the standard one is loads more powerful if you know who to tune it properly and definatly pointless unless you are running itb's or similar

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project :rolleyes: A better idea would have been to stick it down properly! ;)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project :lolup:

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project A copy of whiteley's iirc

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I just looked up the technical explaination for stitch welding, and in a way that's what i did, else you would end up with even more holes than i did! lol some of the body panels, however, were fine to just seam weld, double thickness i recon.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project You'll know then how much of a pain in the arse a french piece of tin is like to weld with a no gas mig then?! lol believe me the welds will hold, they just ain't too pretty!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Why?
