Good color combo, looks great. Xenons/Projectors? I thought 200's were the halogen style only...?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Yeah, after having a look the other day passing it through to the struts shouldnt be too much of an issue... My bulkhead bar is near enough the correct height for the wiring hole on the passenger side. This was due to be sacked off and welded up at the...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Not myself no (yet). Something I need to learn really, but in no major rush to really. Lad I know just round the corner has quite a big MIG unit, literally takes him minutes per weld if everythings ready, prepped and cut to fit. Im just going to spend...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project My Sparco Corsa's went to their new home this morning...hope you get some good use out of them Jams! Anyway, this afternoon headed over to Chris's (480bhp) and picked up the replacements. One of them is still in the wrapping as it came from Tweeks back in...

the new bolts should come with like thread lock stuff already on them IIRC

mine was fine using that method....also used screwdriver in the flywheel in the past did you get the ECU ok mate?

depends if the guides and seats are knackered, or ok. Price will vary based on that. If the seats or guides are knackered, its worth nothing at all really. If they are both ok, £20-30 max on eBay maybe.

Great project, read most of it...had his fair share of issues though with the original mismatch engine

eBay, Demon Tweeks, Rallynuts

Cool just let me know. If not il get rigging with the S/H Jenvey one that Barron offered.

Re: N/W Xmas Meet Isnt it like £180 a meal? IIRC it was at FCS, lol.

Re: N/W Xmas Meet Too bad the service is normally sh*t.

Ad's got fitments on both ends, and I think thats a Jenvey rail, hmm. It will fit but its now obvious there will be no way of it bolting to anything to support it I guess, not the original holes anyway

Yeah ive f*cked that off anyway and blocked the Mk1 pump off... Hmm interesting. Better see if the Mk2 pump/sender internals fit in the Mk1 housing then. If I wanted to run the Jenvey rail then, just block the other end up with a plug correct? Thats if the Jenvey rail will even fit onto a...

Aha i see. Wonder if the internals from the Mk2 pump will fit inside the Mk1 pump housing hmmm. No return line?!

Yes, Evo Walbrough pump fits the Mk1, but I dont think it has a regulator built in. AndyRg had to run an external reg at the same time with that too IIRC :dapprove: Fred, does the Mk2 (Ph2) not even run a regulator at all, 100% controlled by the pump/sender or something?

got a Mk2 172 pump here, doesn't fit in the Mk1 tank...the ghey float system is too deep :( 172 are 3.5bar or 3bar? Wonder if there are any cars I could get a regulator off thats fixed and use that...

I find it quicker just taking the driveshafts out....out of the 9/10 times its been in and out this year ended up being quicker (the bottom bell housing nuts on the engine are the fiddly-est. I just drain box oil, pop shafts out and lift the whole lot out. I had it out, gearbox off and clutch...

alex_c brapping round probably

Id drain gearbox oil and remove the driveshafts first, then go down that list :approve: Id leave the gearbox on and swap them over out of the car, then put the new one in. Far far far far less fiddly.

Re: N/W Xmas Meet Yeah, Muscrap Manor near the merc garage, there is also the Thorn Inn near lymm services where we went the past two years....or Springview near Lymm Services...or tons of other places lol

MikeTs vee.....4-500bhp Scoffs R5....550bhp Adeys R5.... ClioTT.....~400bhp Power wise, etc

Re: N/W Xmas Meet Id be up for a meal one weekend, the place we have been the past two years has been pretty good as im sure others would say too... But Id go anywhere really

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project LOL you can have that one ;)

It was for the past year or so...function side was spot on. You'll realise there is a different side to it over the coming weeks/months...a lot to come :) Temporary was some cheap pipe joiners and jubilee clips under the car, its lasted the year but im doing it all proper this time round. All...

Looks ;) Im sure there are other reasons, but my main one is I want to get rid of the 'temporary' joints ive got that are linking the 172 lines to the original lines.

Quite possibly interested in that acctually. Im guessing the Jenvy rails already have a screw/thread type fitment for fuel lines? Although if not I can get around that by welding some fitments on. Il have a research for some FPRs Aye, expensive compared to Barrons offer...oh and the AT one...

What sort of price we talking? Any recommended regulators out there that are not silly money?

Any alternatives out there that can be used? Even better if it has a reg built in like the Ph1 plastic one....? I know James ran a modified Volvo T5 rail on his 172 conversion, but im guessing he had a seperate reg to go with it. Trying to replace the plastic one with metal so decent fitments...
