any other date i would have definately gone.....with brands on the 27th though its a bit too close to be driving down south (for me) that way twice in the space of a few days :(

cool! yeah mine will be the local scrapper, obviously it isnt going to be 100% accurate as its for 30Tonne+ lorries, but it gives you an idea lol

or check if his insurance covers him third party on other insured cars. I had the option to add it on mine, but didnt.

Ahh cool, I must be thinking of the 172 Ph2's or something to get that weight, cant remember where I got that number in my head from!

Not yet....got a few bits to sort next few days.....Front polycarbs with sliders, sunroof is going polycarb sealed in like whiteleys, 'trimming' the doors with the grinder....then il nip it down the road to the weighbridge :) I want to put it against a std 172 ph1 to see what difference if any...

Adam yeah, It used to have a yellow roof and wingmirrors....round our way it was 'a.k.a the fried egg'. lol.

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread i have a gearbox lol ;) JB3's (Valver boxes) can be picked up cheap these days, £30-50 quid for one with not too many miles on it..

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread snick....pretty fiddly job in the bay! richy....get onto clio16valver.co.uk or williamsclio.co.uk and look in cars for sale, always some looked after ones around!

Did a few runs the other day for my project thread....thought id post up in here to see what people think to the pace of it....the 2nd and 3rd runs are probably the best to go off... An7nWOV2xcE For those of you that saw the last video ( here ), or have read my project thread, you might have...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I was about a 75-100yrds behind all the way

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Yep Brands/Cadwell/Oulton all the RS days

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project tailgate is freshly painted Ph1 item, painted 2-3 weeks ago.....doors are solid, drivers door is only 12 months old....drivers rear qtr 12 months old too..... General structure/arches/doors/sills are spot on, just needs like front wings sorting (paint...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Had a full cage sat here for 3 months, just needs welding in...... Then just general tidying up, once cage is in, interior sprayed, then turn my attention to the bodywork if i can be arsed!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I have no proof they did it as said....I have a backup of the ECU which shows it being the wrong map/software....but no proof they did it. I know they f**ked the PCB by scratching the track off, and an email with pics was sent on saturday with that, dosent...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project The problem was the ECU had been flashed with a 1.4 8v calibration file + software.....the engine in question has a 6k limiter, so it explained it..... We think this was done by the ECU clinic when they 'decoded it' to remove the immobiliser, think they...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Yeah.....im not that impressed with mine after that though tbh!! Considering what you made at RSTuning the other week, i really should be gaining on you more i think?! If my engine is timed up right and healthy that is, the car is alot lighter lol

looks like a good turnout!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Cheers, must have took some time! Yeah possibly, but its only usually me that drives it, so I know not to push it hard past halfway, you can 'feel' it stop, so anyone would know not to push it past that to be honest!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project not backing off as such just not going full throttle straight away as it just spins up in 2nd mid range.... Throttle position never goes past 90% on the logs, so 90% has to be full throttle IMO. I know this because the RStuner performance analyzer only...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Run 1 - Inc Throttle Position Run 2 - Inc Throttle Position Run 3 - Inc Throttle Position

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project well explained, although I do tend to give it a few revs before pulling away... Il post up the same three graphs with throttle position overlaid shortly so we can see

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project he was trying to exaggerate a point, lol. It will be less than 850kg, they are 1000ish standard, ive saved more than 150kg easily lol.

1.2 8v

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I have the TPS data too, 2 second job to overlay onto those... The start is where the revs shoot up at the same time as the speed, which then drops again.....wheelspin

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Going to head out later with GPS and laptop/logs on.....to see what the difference is between GPS speed and what speed the ECU is reading at various speeds, so we shall see. Ive no idea what its going to weigh to be honest, polycarbs and cut out...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project And a few other interesting ones, the fastest 0-100mph time (11.2) plotted against two old logs from when the 1.4 map was on :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project 0-100mph Run 1 - 11.5sec 0-100mph Run 2 - 11.2sec 0-100mph Run 3 - 11.5sec 0-100mph Average (11.5,11.2,11.5) - 11.4sec You can clearly see on all 3 graphs before the 5sec marker the speed increase rapidly where the wheels are spinning in 1st :boring...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah....just putting some graphs up shortly :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project IIRC hes got matched inlets also...not a huge job for someone that does it as a service though. Also...no it wont log data for your car.....Renault only unfortunatley! comedy :approve:

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project TooneySonic has offered me his Shricks if his car dosent sell (so its 50/50 at the moment) as im going to put the standard items back in for him if there is no interest. He had decat+map @ rstuning and few other bits with them in, made 192bhp....If I get...
