Yeah and the starter solenoid wire. I did away with the brown/white engine bay connectors, my loom runs elsewhere with just the brown and black connectors under the dash inside so I just unplug it there. Although, the loom does not run through the normal hole as the cage is in the way

Make sure you get pins/connectors with enough scope for the different size wires/amps that will be passing through, dont want to be having a fire!

Yeah they'd been having a mini meet, the girl is mikes Mrs

Bifcaids, Jonff etc I would imagine

E30 meet in a few weeks :clown:

Yeah im sure I heard him mention the box wasnt the original at Mallory

Probably just make it a bit raspier/tinnier... They rarely pop as far as I know, only when freezing cold and just been started mine does it at low rpms when you drop the clutch. Even full pelt all day long on track ive only heard one or two in the past - thats with an unsilenced exhaust system...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Lol, nah. Only thing left to try is swap the clocks really, some days (like today) its 100% fine, drive it as hard as you want and itl never go up, basically just normal how its always been. Then other days it can be off the gauge within 5 mins of driving...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Got them 2nd hand from the Mk1 forum, but they were originally from Plastics4Performance :)

Thats whats happened to mine with a bolt in diff. Something has come loose inside, rattles internally on idle and I get an almighty screech when downshifting into 3rd :( Still works mind, but it will need sorting over winter!

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Thanks for the comment. I have replaced the spark plugs with some new NGK PFR6E-10's also now, seems to run a bit smoother. I have been running cheapy Bosch plugs for the past 18 months (without a single issue) but decided to change to see if it made any...

Its what silences the exhaust noise

Sounds like the wadding...

Nah, just been there every meet in the past year.....

As long as its anywhere but screwfix......

Might pop up, whats the plan.....

Il aim to get there for around half 7 then, couple of us coming down.

Oh, I dont know what time they are meeting lol. Just thought they were getting to the services for 7.30, its 100mile from mine to there so around 1.5hrs, probably leave here just after 6

Who's taking the available place from the reserves? Il be leaving mine early doors to get to Corley for around half 7 I think too, how far is it to TDF then?

Checked wiring for coolant temp sensor, all is well. Fitted some new NGK's, and had the fuel pump out again. Swapped the actual pump unit with a 50k Williams one (as I didnt trust the 180k valver one that was currently in after swapping from the 172 unit last week). Given it a good drive over...

If you are going to go to the effort of matching inlets, you may aswell just get an RS lower and match the upper to it, or if you really want to perfectly match it - start with an RS lower in the first place. The RS lowers are a larger bore all the way through compared to normal ones, Renault...

Ive got the OBD port wired up, but wont that just tell you the same temp that the sensor is reading (and displaying on the dash?)... Anyway I acctually think it could possibly be headgasket/engine related, as when I removed the thermostat earlier the water that came out looked to have oil in...

Check the gaitor is seated centrally on the metal ring, ive seen them leak before if its not all been put on centrally...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Well........... After swapping the starter motor a week ago for one I got from 172Ben, the car was starting a lot better. Really quick turn over compared to before so all was good. Well until today, and its back doing its stupid non starting on the key. Turn...

No idea, the radiator gets very very hot after a good drive, but it could be normal - as ive never had to check before, i dont know what sort of temp to the touch it should be etc... Got no other means of measuring it really... Ive not tried without a thermostat, yet. Might give it a go...

Yeah, the standard one on the bottom of the pump housing which I checked when I had it out, was clean and seemed OK. Along with the standard Mk1 one 'in line' near the tank, replaced it around 4k ago.. Edit - Must add, the video above, I never went above 2.5k when driving at all, apart from...

Fitted a brand new coolant temp sensor today after the problem seemed to get worse a few days back, rising high then never dropping. Bled the system again and it seems to have made no difference at all... So I did a bit of a video. After the gauge goes to the top, it remains there for a while...

172 Ph2 is ET37 standard IIRC, so you'l be fine.

Oh.... just the T3PHY plate is on that Megane..
