Awesome pics, il have to go back some day!

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project I use a torque wrench every time they go back on - are yours off numerous times every week though? Then trackdays and everything inbetween... Yup correct

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Ive been meaning to for ages now, but never bothered as I always thought the 'screw in' type stud conversions were over priced for what they were. After a chat with Andrew Cooke I decided to go down the route that he took with his 5 as it costs FAR less and...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Yeah but not the usual 'screw in with locktite' studs - more in the next few days as ive still got one or two bits still to machine up/modify... Not sure, it was only one of them on the drivers side. The wheel has never come loose on that side either, so...

A neverending project it seems.

I doubt il ever buy new R888's, if you know where to look and spend enough time doing it you can get half/part work R888's really really cheap, the last lot I got I paid £10/tyre (205/50/15 GG) that were still just road legal, ive done two trackdays on them and there is still plenty left!

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Removed the drivers 'good' hub earlier and fitted my spare, only to find the threads were starting to f**k up on it too, similar to the other one that was knackered after Rockingham. Although, the wheel bolts have never come loose on the drivers side, so im...

Manual says... Bottom Ball Joint - 42Nm Brake Caliper Mounting Bolt - 40Nm Front Hub Nut - 270-280Nm

You'l be very lucky TBH. I tried to do a group buy on 17 pairs of R888's (GG 195/50/15), so 34 tyres in total. The best Demon Tweeks and Camskill could do was a few quid under £100 each!

15. Next to an exotic...

Its a 1.4 lol

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Any idea why it went Warren?

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Too many Mk1 172/F4R ITB'd ones about, common as muck!

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Just for looks lol. Well, I removed all the inner plastics and drilled them Yeah used one of them a few times moving the car around locally, but its a bit dodgy doing it over 150+ miles back home, considering someone has to be sat in the car being towed...

You will have no drive. Probably be able to get it into gear and let the clutch out but the car wont go anywhere. If its a Ph1 or early Ph2 that uses the speedo sensor in the back of the gearbox the speedo will rise as you are doing it too

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project At the moment - a few cable ties ;) Yeah, well there was clutch material everywhere, all inside the bellhousing and jammed in the clutch plate. Proper wierd!

Sorry steve forgot to sort them pics earlier, will do it first thing! And clutch problem yeah, the clutch itself was destroyed! Here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?364502-Mk1-F4R-172-d-Track-Car-Project&p=6938113&viewfull=1#post6938113

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project I just had to watch that said video again, haha! Unsure why it would have been slipping though, im 100% sure it was correctly adjusted as I hadnt long had the pedal box off when fitting the 172 servo/cylinder setup and everything felt 'normal'. That said...

100mm+, FK Coilovers. I had custom springs made for the back before every man and his dog on here had them, 2007 I think it was

I have a small Halfrauds one that goes from 10nm -to- 60nm, and a large Teng one that goes from 70nm-ish -to- 300nm+

Not sure, £35 rings a bell for some reason but im not sure to be honest. I will have the reciept somewhere but this was like January 2009!

Halfrauds on trade are cheap enough (£56 normally for the smallest one I think)... My other Teng one was a few hundred but only decent for bigger stuff as its got a higher range

Black suits the color, gotta be the favourite wheel ive had. Where did you get them from that cheap?

My old 350d had this on the screen and it was a dodgy lens, swapped lenses and it worked fine!

Plastic or metal?

Superleggeras are great, had a few sets. How much did you pay for the spigots?

Doh, I have plenty of bonnets lol.

Drivers door if its not dented or rusty :) lol

Swap the small black relays round in the engine bay fusebox and then try it, if it works replace them ideally. This exact problem happened to St3ve on here last week, he replaced the relays and has never had a problem since..

ECU controls the rad fan, its twin speed too. The ECU triggers the yellow relay in the engine fusebox which in turn powers the fan on... Cooling fan wont make it fail the MOT - it only comes on when the coolant temp gets upto the 'double dots' at the top of the gauge
