Bet your Mum is impressed......NOT

Very nice #2

there's a thread about the whiteline kit running at the moment

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project More riggy browny points, lol (i'm off to B&Q!)

let me know if you do any back to back comparisons, cos i've always been torn if to stick with the 90mm trumpets or go for 120mm ones

:lolup: 6 1/2 inches!?! 235mm from head to trumpet, which is broken down to 105 from head to throttle butterfly and 130mm from butterfly to trumpet tip

i can measure mine tonight if you want chris, jenvey's with 90 trumpets

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project that's ok, cos there's no ditches at Marham, lol

Should have put your name down for Marham then! you could have had a race on your own private runway to see who's quicker!

I might be able to get to this, i'll know closer to the time

What clutch you using? isn't the same as the valver one, cos that was working?

You doughnut

#1001 ! Oh Mel, you beat me to it

whiteley has just done it to his mk1 too. Not heard of it being done to a ph2 but interested cos i was going to do mine too.

You need a bigger stick to beat Royal Mail with!

I've heard it for real lat night, and now i'm deaf

liking them wheels

The clios you saw there were from williamsclio, as we had a meet that only 4 ppl turned up! The 197 was running about 15-16ish, it wasn't quick tbh. I managed my fastest time, a 13.5.

it's all down to the launch. I've had a 15.6 from a valver, 14.7 from my standard cup and 13.6 is my fastest in the cup's current spec. Tbh it'll go faster, but i have trouble launching it! Lol. High 14's is doable with a good launch in a standard 1*2 Nowt wrong with drag racing, track days...

:lolup: pmsl "Read? I can only use this spanner mate"

a cup doesn't have a load brake comp, renault even failed mine once saying it wasn't connected! Lol. Tell them to check the tech paperwork issued from dot years ago that says all about the cup rear brakes. Iirc my last mot i had a 10 % service brake and it still passed

Jenveys iirc have never had a bad review, however i know the AT ones did, due to them not performing as good ( probably down to the direct to head design, some engines just don't like it). I can't comment on the AT's as i've never tried them, in theory they should work better than jenveys, but...

A bit like the ph2 cup front splitter? Oh no, cos the race cars didn't have it fitted! lol

I agree however i do see whiteley's point too

nice one, now crack on with the rest of it! lol

that would be great. Just need to know if the volvo gearboxes would fit the 172 block, if they are stronger, and the mods that would be req'd to swap

internet experts giving me duff gen!

got the info from various volvo forums and google. I found the t5 had the m59 and some had a lsd. I found the m59 is suitable swap for the m54. I maybe clutching at straws, but all ideas have to start somewhere! Lol

found some more info. Turns out volvo was using renault engines and gearboxes, the m54 box was fitted on renault engines to replace the jc5. The m54 is a straight swap for the m59 as fitted in the t5 with lsd! They are both cable hear change but in theory should fit a 172 with a few mods...
