The sleeves do move quite a bit if not tacked, mine did over a years use on track. Although it sort of shows some (well, a lot) of the stuff on this forum is b*llocks as I was told not to bother, then this happened. Whipped them off, adjusted, welded and refitted. Done another 16 months without...

You can swap the CV joints Nath, ive removed a few from 172 shafts, not hard to do really. You just need to get the right new CV... with yours being a trophy you will have the bigger hub/bearing anyway I think, only seen one when I had 480bhp's hubs once. So I'm guessing if thats the case then...

Being German and such good designers the whole dash and heater box has to be removed to replace the (commonly leaking) heater matrix. VW quote some daft book time of 9 hours to do the job, although I had the dash out in 30 min's going in blind - they must just want more money. Although, I had to...

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion Me and Adam have had a few days off from it, Robs soundtrack of - 'Cant do it' - is still ringing fresh in our ears. You CAN do it. Lol.

£1k - the price I sold the BMW for, so really it didnt cost me anything. BMW owed me half that... Not sure on the name of the color, looks similar to my old Mk2 clio though! Its a 110 SE, drives well :) Trailer has been around for a long time, its there when I need to use it ;)

The BMW went yesterday, then straight onto the VAG... Although, I decided to strip it already :boring:

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion DynAcup you mean? ;)

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion Wonder which wiring pro had that idea :eek: Missing pics of quite a few of your other parts too?

They would do, just make some subframes to fit, I did with my Mk2 as all the ones 'on the market' were rubbish/really high

Seats :) We're in the Interior section lol Engine ones are completely different where they mount too if anyone finds this looking for that also...

From owning both I think they are quite a bit different dimensions wise, moreso the drop from the exhaust tunnel...

Is it smoking at all under load when driving?

Nah unless there was pretty much no oil in the car at all, or if your engine/oil pump was failing. See what its like on the dipstick, if its OK then its a pretty sure bet its the oil level sensor playing up..

The actual Oil Can light is to indicate low oil pressure not the level

Look under the side of the car you will see a big thick box section running down the car on either side, about 1ft in from the sill. Thats the proper chassis rail, use that

Have you checked the oil level on the dipstick? Seen quite a few of those sensors (that show the level on the dash) go faulty

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion Its only been a week, although there is a lot more done than hes wrote up. Im sure he'l carry on writing later!

lol, Ford Fail is the only OK one, but gets boring after half a day of cars with bottom ends going.

Re: Project 172 Trophy Red Megane 225 Powered Heavy Track Car Did they snap on removal then, or with the engine running?

Re: Project 172 Trophy Red Megane 225 Powered Heavy Track Car How the f*ck did you manage to snap every flywheel bolt? lol!

Certainly does seem flow well enough, that hole is in one of the oilways... The temp was always 'normal' for a standard engine. Even out on track for 50 mins without coming in and it was the same temp as when I first went out... If it wasnt not flowing, the pressure gauge I had wouldn't have...

Il PM you this evening when ive had a look. More than likely got one, il test it on the bench if I do

I used a valver starter on my F7R when I put it in, so yeah. GSF, Euro car parts, local factors if you want new, or williamsclio / clio16valver if you want second hand. I might have one somewhere, depends how much of a rush you are in... Can check later this evening if required.

Your solenoid may well click, but thats the thing that passes 12v to the motor itself, so it has to be fully contacting inside (which its probably not doing). Id say new starter and all will be well, since you can bump it and it runs fine...

I tee'd it off the oil pressure output on the front of the block

By the time you have bought the Brembo's, paid for bearings (as the last time I bought them they didnt come with any) to go in them and paid to have the bearings pressed in it will more than likely be more than the price of £90 (or less) standard Renault rears.

He cant do it any time....

F*ck FCS - its been getting worse every year, Mallory is the same weekend this time round. Know which one we'l be going to!

...think he's realised there are plenty of cars with better build quality than a Renault for a lot less monies ;)

I got the asking price, £995 :) So I've bought a B5 Passat TDi Sport Estate! Towing should be a bit better with that...
