Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Any joy?

Possibly the cooling system completely blocked, corroded thermostat stuck shut.

Open the oil filler cap and look for mayo, sounds like hg mate

Get a bar job for a short period to tide you over?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Yeah Geesus, I'll try it asap for you, I'd like to know if it works aswell as adam had quite a few probs, hopefully it was the loom though, the ecu connector was dodgy to say the least, had to really jiggle the multimeter to get a continuity signal! Got...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project it's Adams! Think it's from rstuning? The circuit board from pin 58 to the actual pin outs has been cut

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I'll try my emulated ecu on my mates ph1 172 and test the voltages! If needs be I can post you mine to borrow for your track days

Renault have it down as a "Gear change indicator"

My thoughts exactly MK1 FTW

FAIL It's based on coolant temperature

Do your wheels have a centre bore of 72.6mm? 20mm is quite a way to space out your wheels aswell, you sure you want it that wide?

Very nice, wish I'd have come to see this :D

You're linking the two rear wheels with a bar via a droplink, this in turn makes the rear end stiffer. Improves handling and gives you more confidence.

As above, easy to fit Hour tops

You could put together a nice F4R valver for 2-3k

I've got 16v you could drop straight into your rt mate, conversion is a piece of cake, all bolts straight in!

Just fill a standard one with tigerseal

Show off :rasp:

It's upside down but IIRC doesn't sit directly ontop of the piston like that, there should be a "hat" for the spring and it sits on that

Maybe, some might go into the maxogen too :rasp: Nice setup

It'll be up to temp after about 15 mins of normal driving from cold. Max. engine speeds for a coolant temperature < 75°C 6,700 rpm for a coolant temperature > 75°C in 1st or 2nd gear 7,200 rpm for a coolant temperature > 75°C in 3rd, 4th or 5th speed 7,000 rpm

It's based on coolant temp not oil temp, as mentioned check your thermostat

Does a JC5 129 (172 cup) gearbox have the worm drive for a manual speedo cable? What drives the 172 cup dials? is it a manual cable or a digital pickup from the "worm drive"? Also JC5 130 (172 "I think") does this have a hole in the casing or is this like the 182 with the ABS pickups...

+2 Mate My Mrs dad died recently from Cancer and it's a tough tough time, keep your chin up mate. Love the car

Good shout :cool: (i presume you meant VVT not vtec? :rasp: ) How much of a ballache was it to fit the new roof skin? Could a similar thing be done with a lower spec (non sunroof) metal roof? Stitch welded etc

How come there's a dephaser pulley fitted? Thought it had catcams adjustables? Awesome build BTW

Don't do it, my daily drive is a mk5 golf GT TDi and it's boring as f**k

Earth Heater Signal Dunno lol They go to the ECU and tell it how much oxygen is in the emissions Why?
