possibly was mis-aligned putting too much stress on it yeah, maybe! mine had lasted 7/8 trackdays then at mallory I ran some semi-slicks on the front, I think this put alot more force/strain on the drivetrain and caused it to go....was fine before that though. If you're going to get another...

mine was welded. popped on track at mallory, welds just snapped clean off

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I was down there yesterday! Doh! Im picking a valver subframe up in the morning, but thanks for the offer anyway. Im sure I remember seeing different steering rack mounts on a 172, but not 100%... Ive been looking through my old build pictures and it seems...

RigUpRacing Certified TBH.

are you using the 172 key or the 1.2 key when this is happening? if you've put the 172 loom and uch in and not using the correct key it will throw a paddy.....or it may just throw a paddy anyway as the key (even correct one) may have become unsynced from the UCH.....so so so many things

not sure, although there are probably different versions of it (ph1 and ph2 onwards most likeley)

checked the fuel pump fuse in engine bay hasnt blown? 30amp iirc. what loom is inside now, 172 or 1.2?....if its 172 it may not mate upto the rear loom of the 1.2 so the fuel pump wiring might be on different pins between the looms...

Should have done that from the start ;)

only qualified members need apply, and you need to prove it gray :rasp: website will be online sometime in the near future ;)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I would love to know if it would, but i doubt the steering rack mounting is the same.....where are you based? the front one looks OK, the wishbone is flush upto the larger part of the bush and the sleeve hasnt moved by the looks of things...this leads me...

dephaser pulley alone was £120odd last time i checked
