Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Ive yet to fit them (hate 45 profile tyres), might try one on tomorrow though! Need to pop the spigot rings in too, halfrauds came through and supplied me with some to order :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Quite a few jobs done over the past few days in preperation for Marham this weekend, leaving on friday morning and still got a few bits to sort tommorow... The superleggeras have been done satin black (rattle cans for now)... Also fixed all the ghey...

Engine looks tidy! LOL at the sunstrip!!

yep the computer needs resetting....renault=expensive, apparently there is some german company that does it quite a bit cheaper..... after that you'l need a resistor in the connector too, as atouba said

Dont remember my Mk2 doing it though, that just used to show the handbrake light alone... but that was a ph2 non sport... meh lol

Oh, that would explain it then :) I wasnt sure if the stop light was supposed to be on when stopped with the handbrake on or not....if its not the only other thing it could be is that brake fluid level thing which should be running off the same wire as the handbrake light

They are early Ph1 dials.... Ive just been out in it, the STOP light goes off with the handbrake light (ie when I put handbrake down)....but as soon as you apply the handbrake the STOP light comes back on?!

Once again the filter looks brap. You need a piece of drainpipe from the elbow with the filter sticking out of the headlight hole completely...

yeah, well my brake fluid switch isnt even connected (i dont have one), and the handbrake light works as normal (goes off when put handbrake down)....but the mystery is why is the STOP light on with no other lights, very odd

Yeah everything else works functionality wise (revs, speed, fuel, coolant, coolant warning etc), no other warning lights on the dash just STOP illuminated Ive been through all the pins on the two pages for the clocks pindata and checked everything relevant is connected, but the light is still...

Earthing the last two pins on the small connector turned the ABS, Serv and Handbrake lights off... Although, the STOP light still remains. I tried earthing a few other pins (brake pad warning light, etc) but nothing seems to turn it off. What could be causing the STOP light to illuminate? There...

dont remember a mk4, lol. i just remember some nob on a mk6 or Mk5 GTI trying it on then cutting a load of people up and failing was on the way back from salford!

Just Burrrrr-illiant.

I found a few sizes for my superleggeras online, but when I checked myself with a set of verniers none of the sizes were correct. Turns out they were 67.1mm. Better just popping a wheel of and checking to be 100% sure!

Ive literally just been into halfrauds and ordered some in, £2 each. Works out cheaper than eBay I found. Clio is 60.1 inner diameter (center bore), you just need to know what size your wheels center bore is.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah they do hold the cup setup... get rid of that cr*p and get the boggo spec brackets on ;)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project You need the MK1 boggo spec non-pas mounts for it to fit....so it leaves the 3 holes empty on the front of the block I *think* a 172 subframe has that hole on the front, but its only a 2 sec job to check

had any luck with getting this running in time for marham?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Going to do them when I take downpipe off to replace the gasket, lol.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Would have been nearly £70 for the rubber and bracket, this cost me under a tenner if im counting petrol to and from getting the metal :cool:

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project LOL...dont lie, you have gotta admit it fits well ;) just because I didnt buy the rubber and mount from you lol :approve: Replacement subframe, pah! Il worry about that when it drops off (which it wont!)

depends how the backbox is made....if its shite design inside its quite a bit of work, if its decent its an easy swap

JP in macc would be able to do it

Glad its not only me thats thinking wheres the engine? Get a decent exhaust tip and loose the bloody nova/escort/sierra 55" outwardly rolled tip please!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project As mentioned above, ive been putting together a 5th mount for the front of the engine the past day or two. This is what a R5 GTX mount looks like when purchased from renault, the rubber is in the bag... The rubber alone is 47 quid from Renault! Anyway...

Nice pics Jay

you're aux dials still not working?

Yeah but you and I even agree'd that I never really take it past 7k, there is no need to lol.

LOL at the chav filter!!
