Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Yeah, but there should be *some* movement - correct? Or do you mean movement as in the CV should be solid and the movement should come from the gearbox end? lol

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Yeah, found the value on here! TBF I usually just do them tight tight and never had a problem, then found the value on here and it was just like 1/10th of a turn more if that until the torque wrench clicked...just so I knew it was tight and not that causing...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Hub nuts @ 280Nm, lol. Brand new bearing too! Only just swapped the f*cking shaft back to my own and knowing my luck it will be knackered now. Will try full lock in a bit

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] ...so if it clicks/clunks on full lock from that side = the shaft is f*cked im guessing? lol

yeah, ofc :clown:

a.k.a Chavfest at the Grange

I wasnt on about the holes enlarging, i was on about the deformation of the mounts - i.e. closing/squashing together

They're too tall IIRC I modded mine (machined hubs down and made the holes 0.5mm larger) in October 2008, covered 20k and alot of trackdays and they are still as they were - same coilovers, same setup, never had an issue like this... The only difference is - I milled my hubs down on a milling...

Yeah they are just plated/coated, eventually comes off and goes crusty (over the past year on mine)... I have always ran the coilovers, so I just measured the width of the coilover and machined the hub down to that which is a very tight fit on mine just how I wanted it... Chris originally...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Yeah, no movement anywhere apart from the driveshaft if sat still and just jacked up! Yeah, I thought there should be a bit, but usually no noise like its making (clunk clunk when going in and out)... Its getting worse when driving -...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Cheers for the comment! After driving the car with the shafts changed, a knocking had started from the N/S front. It was more of a hollow knocking noise rather than a clunk - but I thought yeah its possibly a ball joint. Checked...

My local (General Traffic) could get them, along with a few others (CES, Andrew Page)... Not sure who's local to you? I know 'Andrew Cooke' on here just bought one himself, its mentioned in his project thread

Just fit the 172 Ph1 running gear to the Mk1 Subframe, I have it all on mine (Wrote a guide) Everything physically fits and bolts together fine, but if you did it you would need a Williams steering rack due to it being so much wider than a valver. With Williams widetrack you can get away with...

Sorry Rich, dannys lol Calipers are the same (Ph1 and Ph2), Mk1 rear calipers even fit the Mk2s fine

Different

Yep - Most motor factors can get them

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild How does a 1*2 pass then with all metal pedals? lol

Change the solenoid...

At least I can say - 'been there, done that' to every single problem imaginable LOL :clown:

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Done about 100 miles since fitting and it drives spot on, its not come off yet either lol!

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Righty then - driveshafts finally sorted. As mentioned a few pages back I have always had problems with the hub nut thread on the N/S driveshaft, i.e. the nut not going on. I got a scrap driveshaft from Whiteley and attmpted to swap the...

Possibly Interested How many cars needed for this to go ahead?

...a project is never finished! You never know I might roll it on its first 2010 outing and have to re-shell it lol.

Tried a different (known working) dephaser solenoid?

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] LOL. As said, FCS on the Sunday...see some hero's and cars, back to the hotel - full day at Rockingham on monday... done.

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Ahem! As said, 14th ;)

Looking good! Is it going to appear on a trackday soon? ;)

Il be there about 8

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Still needs a new clutch though unfortunately! Hopefully it will last Rockingham in June and Cadwell at the start of July, might have time to replace it then I hope
