You seem to have missed a picture from the first post... LOL.

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] yeah, they can be picked up really cheap anyway, and if you're painting/powdercoating the condition does not really matter I guess... Once this is powdercoated Il just remove the other one and put this in its place straight away, only an...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Yeah I was going to do it an inch spaced at first, but from other pics I had seen of them done on another forum they had done it all the way along so I just went with it.. Unsure what else is different, I think it may be the 'williams' spec...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Cheers for the comments everyone. Savi, these are the easy jobs that I keep cracking on with ;) The big jobs keep getting put off - like taking a holesaw to the bulkhead of the car for the cage/strut bars, as I dont want to get it wrong lol.

Looking good!

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Been getting on with bits and bobs over the past week. Picked up a Mk1 Cup Car subframe from Evogone, as there were a few modifications I wanted to do from the one thats currently on the car. The subframe has sump guard mounts already welded...

Dont know what price Paul charges if im honest, I paid £30 for both of mine, then flashed it with a fresh map with RSTuner before I sold it

Yeah thats one sure way of doing it, Paul would just fit an Emulator before mapping it and you'd never have a problem again

Unfortunately the pics I have laid out/labelled are only the Engine looms (Ph1/Ph2 and 172 Ph1), no interior looms :( What do you need to know?

Hopefully it wont be like mine and Matteh's, we thought they were very quick and then we had 1.4/1.6 maps on the ECU....it was twice as fast afterwards...its only one wire to connect to get it working ;)

Rev counter working yet Daniel? Mark - I contacted a few companies about it after some research into a Mk2 Escort quick rack, as there seems to be tons available for them. The internals are pretty similar but obviously not the same. To make the price even worthwhile would have needed 30...

what size? tried camskill?

Thanks ;)

Might have been switched off.... Turn your ignition on, then turn your side lights on and off twice and you should hear a beep....see if they work then.

Yeah Id keep it.....if a new box is bought on a service exhange basis, I think they are all re-built with the latest components through Renault. Considering the bolt in setup replaced the circlip design its probably why they use it!

Might have had a rebuilt box fitted at some point in its life... My JB3 (MK1) with bolt in diff has a 1991 gearbox casing code, but its got a brand new bolt in diff when It was bought from Renault (as a Service Exchange unit)

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Oulton and Cadwell are 105db usually, some are lower

have you kept your original ECU?

In reality, f*ck all difference IMO. Some people also say they are slightly stronger but Im not convinced. Just done this comparison...

Oil Pressure Sensor - 8200671286 - £15.28+VAT Copper washer if you want a new one - 7703062043 - £0.43+VAT

Oil pressure switch looks like... Can be found where Da said :) Ive got the part number/price somewhere, 2 mins.

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Not much been going on. Some will be pleased to hear my exhaust tip was trimmed down by an inch and then tested at an Oulton Park trackday - Only 100db so its safe for another years worth of days how it is :) Lots of bits hanging round...

Didnt you know someone with a rig-up boat Sarah? Its only 15 miles to this side isnt it, lol?

Pulley mating face is square seems its the outer edge thats twisted/bent

Matteh created a VERY useful excel file with all the ratios and boxes in, it draws pretty graphs and compares different boxes against each other... PM me your email address if you want me to mail it to you, im sure you wont mind eh Matt!

...needs the pulley off first and check the end of the crank to see if its damaged. Bad news if it is...

My valver had e-torx too im sure Get some 10mm headed bolts if you want to replace them

E-Torx I swapped mine in the engine bay the other week, didnt take too long but I dont have air-con or PAS. Just be careful you dont round any of the bolts off or you'll have some right fun trying to get them off

Which, the 1.9D box or the Mk2 1.5D box? Matteh has ran the 1.9D for quite some time on his 172 engine now

Mk2 boxes are interchangable between models if thats what you mean, same bolt/bellhousing pattern
