no idea why its crap quality, sony HD camera, lol anyway, its just like two rattles dead close together, like its doing 'rattle'-'on'-'rattle'-'off'....hard to explain... dont know weather its something wrong or what though!

search all the big owners clubs....they are regarded as the most accurate up this end of the country.....as alot of the other places have been renowned to play with settings for the runs (tyre pressures etc) and hence overread....you wont be able to tell without looking at the specific details...

lol il believe it when i see it running and mapped on the road....and if it makes the expected figure at RST il be equally impressed, anywhere else and the true power could be anything tbh

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project OpdEFOiCo6Q hmmmm.

Got an odd noise coming from the cam pulley end of the engine, wierd rattle when it gets to 1700-2000rpm. You can hear it rattle twice every time its revved.... OpdEFOiCo6Q Dephaser or solenoid maybe?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project pics uploading at the moment.... got a slight (worrying) noise with the engine, just waiting for the video to process....i think its the dephaser pulley but shall see what people think

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project ...few here from when we were doing the preperation for it....75mm hole cut in the bulkhead, there was also a bracket behind where the hole was cut (for the Aux fusebox)....we ground that off, then smoothed it and painted today to prevent rust etc..Bulkhead...

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Aux belt isnt fitted, i was going to suggest waterpump but cant be with no aux belt on :( Bearing on tensioner or idler has been suggested as a possibility?!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project ok....done quite a bit today... Wanted to figure out what he 'knocking' was when turning hard, car seemed to wobble and shift one way when turning corners.... Turns out balljoint on the passenger had come loose AGAIN, despite the fact its brand new, new...

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread interesting, have you turned it over by hand on the crank pulley and see if there is any noise from the tensioner or idler?
