Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Just been and collected the drivers side 172 hub that I got from D4ve from being machined, will probably put it on later. Hopefully no more ball-joint issues after this! Im also in the process of reproducing the Renault 5 GTX front engine mount bracket to...

mine tends to chug on idle a bit when the solenoid is unplugged, it may be unrelated but id just check all the connections first!

is the VVT solenoid (where your arrow is pointing, brass thing) plugged in to the connector properly?

yes, its only 5 torx screws.....3 along top and two on ends lol. seats....on the outside, nearest the door, the two bolts holding it to chassis are on top (torx I think), on the inside they are under the car (13mm).....and no you cant lend the jack go and buy one, LOL.

that doesn't look very stripped, i can see trim everywhere!

no idea sorry, they will tell you there and then if you phone up I guess

adrian flux do if you add the option to your policy iirc.

Depends what gearbox code the one hes found is for a start...

Re: Throttle Potentiometer - What to do? IIRC The Ph2s don't have an idle control valve as such, they are a Ph1 item which goes on the back of the inlet.

Re: Throttle Potentiometer - What to do? maybe its something else unrelated to the throttle.....TDC Sensor maybe

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah, well the outlet is 2.5", which is the same size as the inlets on the 172 airbox, so it will do the job for now :approve:

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Yours will jams when its red hot, whiteleys was at marham last year, even with a center silencer, just needs to be hot enough on overrun... Adams will do it more because of the manifold

looks good, bolted in aye?

they've moved onto taking photos and notes, FLOL. Im not too bad either, lol.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Spent some more time on the car this evening. The car has needed some ducts in the fog light holes to tidy it up for some time, but ive just never got round to it. Demon tweeks sell a 6" x 3" duct that near enough fits with a bit of modification (Coops has...

g clamp on front and screwdriver to wind on the rear.....does the job for me

Probably because the engine is so riggy, lol. His track record with bottom ends is continuing.....................................................................

how is it wrong to get more power, torque and a lighter engine for a lot less money than tuning an f7r to the same spec as an f4r then? ;)

F4R after all, my days. IIRC ben_p had one of the highest compression ratios on here in his most recent build, the spec is in his thread I think.

Re: Project 172 *** ITB'S - 204bhp *** Sausage filter fitted Page 14 Drivers side may weigh more due to them having the mech to change the height of the seat too?

you wish :rasp:

Head unit out, then you can get your hand up and pop it out

Ive been using it without a problem, hardly uses a drop in mine it seems

Good update. "The sound of a kettle boiling", just LOL. Too bad you didnt get any pics of the cambelt change eh, all them riggy rig ups to remove the covers haha!

Well, you failed at that LOL. wMV2foX46B4 RASP.

Cams have been sat in the garage for months :dapprove: Been thinking about selling them in recent weeks, but il never get them as cheap as I did from Tooney again, let alone Schricks. Will get them in with an ECU over winter, run it for the summer then think It will be time to move onto a new...

230bhp/tonne, are you mad? if I had a 190bhp engine maybe, but its not that much.....yet!

Id like to think 170bhp ish, but it only ways a tad over 800kg, so around 210-215bhp/per tonne :cool:

Coolant temprature is whats shown on the dash, yeah. As to weather it controls the limiter, or if there is a 'timer' that counts how long the cars been running that controls it, im unsure......but the pin diagram for a 172 ph1 shows no pins at all for anything oil temperature related
