Yeah, everything else is just simple compared to the UCH/Ph2 setup, all single wires as said, im in the middle of making another loom at the moment ready to go aftermarket in the next few weeks....so much easier than trying to mess around re-doing parts of the loom thats already there... Il PM...

VEMS should have an output for tacho, i know laine's did over on clio16valver. the 172 ph1 clocks tacho input is just a single wire so thats easy. Same with coolant temp/coolant warning light/fuel level/fuel light, all single wires that can just be swapped... Although, he had to use a 10k...

Im at santa pod on the saturday kneel, not coming back up to drive back down lol

I have used it for what I wanted to this summer, and dont want it sat around all winter doing nothing. I was really impressed with the image quality, even wide open at 400mm. Its not too heavy and produces some really good colors...

I know its the first time, lol. I was just saying youve now got it running since starting to do it!

Joys of a 172 starter motor eh ;) Got it running at last!!!

yeah, they have got a good setup, mainly into the VAG scene.....but their figures always seem to be wayyyy out. Guy I know ran a standard 172 on there, made 198bhp with no mods, LOL.

take it to a garage and get it pressure bled on a ramp and see if you can see anything coming out at the various points round the car rear brake compensator on the rear beam is a possibility though

you would need an inlet manifold, management, etc etc etc It goes to the top hole on the matrix yep, then the bottom hole runs back down to the front of the block and tpieces into the lower rad hose.. I cant really show you pics of mine as I dont have a heater matrix

avoid awesome-gti in irlam too, unless you want your car to make 200+bhp in standard form, lol.

whichever cams you fit it will always need a remap to get the car running correctly

right hand one goes to heater matrix... one on top goes to the header tank

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah, heated screens are available for the mk1 clio for around £200ish apparently, but I chose not to get one incase of chips etc on trackdays, wouldnt want to be replacing them :( Im on my 2nd screen at the moment!

My idle was reet with the Schricks fitted, near enough the same as CatCam 428s. Lumpy but no issues.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project My arches dont rub for a start, lol!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Not done anything since I removed them no, but I am going to be putting one/two 12v heater/blowers at the front of the dash top underneath so it comes out of the rear vents onto the windscreen, Just not got round to it yet!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Not sure, but Matteh will be able to confirm I guess... I just basically copied what whiteley had done by chopping the sunroof frame down the bare minimum, bolting it back onto the car, then sealing a piece of polycarbonate in cut to the shape of the glass...

Matteh's was higher, but still the wrong map completely. Also, they were not using the JB3 box that I was (1.8) i dont think, so the speed on the limiter would have been higher (longer ratios)... When we asked them what limiter theres was at when we first had the issues, they said 'we have no...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project you could get past 800kgs, without the cage I would probably be around 785-790! Its got... Lighter Engine (F4R) Removed Bonnet Skins Removed Boot Skin Removed Door Skins + Bars All Windows Polycarbonate Sunroof Frame Cut Down + 3mm Polycarb rather...

Just over 6k, it used to bounce off the limiter in 5th at around 120mph lol Dont think it was only the limiter though, the idle was terrible and low revs was crap....ignition timing and fuelling had to be all wrong too I guess!

Il await the thread asking why his limiter is less than 7200 or why it made 140bhp on the rollers :rasp: Mine would outrun 172/182s with the 1.4 map on! Got the 172 map on and the power was unreal!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Stand Pass etc sorted, see whoever is going on the day! :) Will see what happens about the hotel guppy.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild Nice work :)

indeed they have. Il see who is coming and hopefully get something sorted

Il have a look around on there Justin, guppy there would have been a few of us coming lol

In one sentance: Send ECU to RSTuning or similar to get it virginised, fit an emulator, plug it in, away you go. lol :)

My exhaust was spot on too!

seems its fully booked up meh :dapprove:

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project What hotel is that? Replied in the other thread in Trax forum Hmmmm, might be something to look at over winter. Will have see what else happens first and see if the cost is worth it lol
