OZ Superleggera, I got them in 16' back in the day after seeing them on Matts car on here!

williams wheels are 7J.

Gime a PM/text if your going up, I may do if im not upto much :)

should go on fine!

Seems that there isnt much about them on the internet, but for the price I paid I cant grumble....If needed be I could sell it on ebay for a profit and move on....seems good enough though!

Quite large @ 400mm with the hood on, lol. Definitely easily on par build wise with the 70-200F4L, will see what its like @ 200mm in comparison when I get the chance with some of my old pics :)

I hadnt heard of it until I was told about it, not much info on the net about it apart from on bird forums etc! Apparently its just a cut down version of one of their EX lenses, seems good enough for now anyway... Is it on the friday? Maybe, you going?... Im going down to silverstone on sat...

Just picked up one of these cheap cheap from someone I know. 135-400mm (f4.5-f5.6), APO DG. Read every review I could find before I got it, to make a decision. Most people were saying its slow to autofocus, is soft at 400mm, blah blah blah...Thought id' go for it anyway. Sold my Canon...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah, all the hassle is paying off (nearly), had a good few weeks now of driving without problems, been spot on :) With regards to my leaking problem, ran another bead of silicone round the sunroof this morning, all watertight now, sorted :)

no^ Some have fixed holes and require camber bolts to adjust camber (if required).. and some have slotted holes to allow camber to be changed without the use of camber bolts..

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project True ;) Well apart from the sunroof leaking a bit, needs more sealant. Not much else to update, cage will be finished soon. Few more bits to tidy up before Cadwell on the 11th, updates soon :)

Its not, lol. Reverse light isnt an MOT requirement either I was told, mine didnt work (sensor was unplugged) and it passed.

does it click from the engine bay (starter motor) when you turn the key and the engine dosent turn over? engine could be siezed, lol.

it might get you home, it might not, if its truly nackered it will drive like shite and probably fook up more, damaging the whole engine

bottom end might be nackered if youve run it that dry....was there any knocking when it cut out etc?

nice work!

A normal Mk1 dosent run any sensors through the ECU....(talking valver here)....Oil pressure and oil light on dash go straight from the sensor to the clocks....Water temprature goes straight to the clocks from the sensor.....oil temprature goes straight from the sensor to the clocks....not sure...

nice shots......ditto on regretting selling my 70-200!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project LOL. Basically...If your running the old style brackets (i.e. from an old Mk1 without power steering, with the bit that goes on the block and the tensioning bit), the 172 alternator will not fit, it sits too far over. These are the old style brackets: If...

Carlos Fandango edit. beat to it!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I dont have any wires from the clocks to the standard ECU at the moment though...lol Acctually, 1 wire, tacho. lol. easy enough!

lol, good work with getting the grinder on the scene.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Renault ones work fine for now lol :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project DTA, Emerald, Adaptronic and Pectel are all being considered tbh!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Well, im 50/50 on OMEX tbh, yeah it seems like a good piece of kit, but people who I know that are running it have had their fair share of problems etc, so im not convinced at the moment!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project You on RTOC Mark? Ive posted up on there about ECU's...see where I get :) If I post up on here Id' just get babbled with how OMEX is god!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Interesting...seems fine for now anyway! Thinking of going aftermarket ECU very shortly anyway, will see what happens :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah but if the crank sensor isnt working, the engine wont run.... Injectors/Coilpack wont work...correct? It fired up and ran fine, just no output on the revs. Drove it a few times since, been reet...I have a spare crank sensor if the worst comes to the...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Nah, still got more parts of the cage to go in. Once thats in, cut the doors out to get some weight back, then smaller battery when I buy one. Then I will get it weighed :)
