How do! Lucky I remembered this and checked the spotted section! You looked like you were carrying some speed coming upto the roundabout, car looked mean as in the rear view mirror, so thought id give it some ;) As said....172 engine/172 front track/lots of weight saved, thats about it!

indeed. considering the ECU has no pin in for oil temperature....so it would have no idea how warm or cold the oil actually is!

you can only keep wishing eh :sleepy:

there is no requirement for heaters as far as I know, its definitely not in the MOT anyway. Weather there is a 'law' for it is another matter, ive never had a problem on the many occasions ive been stopped... Why would you need to faff still sat in the seat, it takes 30 seconds to safely pull...

I dont see it as a problem, its too much of a handful in the wet anyway. Easy solution, keep the screen clean, and use a cloth to wipe the screen IF it steams up, which it has yet to do. Or you just buy a heated front screen for £200. Ive only been using it as a daily over summer, hence why its...

Cool....hope it makes it this time round with no problems!

Didnt realise that was you last year at Oulton mate, I got some pics of your car (think I sent you them)....what setup was it back then?

also go careful with magnum, ive heard some bad stories about them recently, only down the road from me... a lad i know ordered some seats, they asked for deposit of 50%....6 weeks went by of them ignoring phone calls and saying yeah we're starting them next week, they hadnt even taken a...

nice! passenger ride at oulton? lol

well, its on the road :) Saw this red valver coming towards me as I was waiting to turn right.....didnt even click, thought....'who the hell is this with a valver now'.... 'oh, its jams!' LOL Now dont break it before marham ;)

True....I have that problem with mine with them being black

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project not yet ;) it pulls alot harder and seems quicker :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Scuttle Induction setup has now gone! :) So, this arrived this morning, Ph1 172 airbox... Standard filter (for now)... Before I could do anything with it, I had to get rid of the 172 header tank, and plumb in the Fiat item I found at the scrap yard...

Anthercite always goes well on black ;)

ive never seen those wheels clean :rasp:

...only because its now perfected ;)

if the car had air con originally you may have issues with some of the plumbing and the heater controls....but ive got no idea about that really you're basically just swapping the bare engine, and refitting everything that was already there....so it will work just as it would have done originally

you just need the engine unless the gearbox is nackered... ECU can be left, as can be loom, and gearbox.....just swap it onto new engine

yeah, but with a clio its easier to lift out the top....literally put new engine in, plug looms in and re-plumb it up......good to go

unplug looms.....engine out.....engine in....plug in and connect pipes....drive away

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Staying as they are until next year! The MARANGOLI Ditch Finders are staying on for marham too ha

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project New arrival ;)

its not 'tight' TBH, most other places i know of do go better on price if you get 20, then cheaper again with 40, and so on.

Noisy pics, but ISO1600 in near darkness didnt help ;)

Il know within the next few days

just had a text, apparently the clutch is improving and i quote....... 'its mint', LOL

Re: Throttle Potentiometer - What to do? I saw a throttle body on ebay for 30 quid earlier i think, buyitnow

Had it weighed a while back at 827kg's...since removed some other bits, so low 820kg's at the moment... Got another set of wheels to use on track now (15" Superleggera) which are 2.5kg's ish lighter per wheel than the current Williams wheels...hopefully should bring me near to 810kgs.
