Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project LOL i can see some good ones comin up then!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project nope all been sanded now, didnt think to take any to be honest... painted the underside where the underseal burnt off today, then re-sealed it...also re-done the door bars ready to weld in now

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Ok....so set off at 6.30am this morning for Whiteleys, as Daz had offered to weld the cage in for me... The aim was to get the footplates in....along with the main hoop, main rear stays, rear diagonal, front a-pillars, screen bar and door bars. Due to a few...

nice work :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project well, partially ;) Thanks to Whiteley+Daz Clio Cup, I now have the main elements fitted... Will write an update later on :)

on the hard shoulder heading away from leeds? anthercite 172 wheels? xenons? square front plate? non sport, silver? anyone?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project matteh has extended his with no problems....The wire I used must have been damaged/dodgy part way down somewhere, all joints were ok! may try again with brand new cable when I can be bothered

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeh!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yep :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project just about :) Removed all the extensions one by one, soldered it back to how it was....what a waste of time that was extending them :( Anyway turned it over fired up first time...been fine ever since done quite a few miles... Must have been a dodgy wire!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project nah! most have been resoldered also most wires have been multimetered for continuity...all 'seem' fine....will soon tell tommorow now its back how it was when it was working, hopefully itl run!

iirc you parked up here in the afternoon for a quick tea break chris aye?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project firstly....the car WAS working spot on until i decided to move the ecu to the scuttle, ie extending wires....was spot on, only reason I had starting problems is because of the immobiliser being active, as was said secondly....omex+loom around 800 after the...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project well upto now ive replaced more wires, had the ecu apart and re-soldered the immobiliser emulator, checked the emu was getting power/earth and outputting, which it is so that has to be OK.... Swapped all the relays in the engine fusebox to no avail... Just...

unless its an adjustable one, no.. The flange on the manifold downpipe is different between valver and williams, its rotated 90* degrees...so you would need a williams decat

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project it was 100% fine until i extended the wires to move the ecu though

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project MOT was supposed to be getting done tommorow, obviously not now....hopefully will fix it and get it MOT'd in time for the weekend!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Well it didnt start again, has to be a dodgy wire somewhere now. Replaced about half of them earlier, all tested OK.....suppose il have to replace the other half too and see if it works. It started fine, then i decided to tape the wiring back up and after...

updates ahoy...will have to come and have a nosey when mines running and btw, that link on msn, yes its a 4-2-1. Valver manifold = 4-2-1, Williams manifold 4-1

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project still got some more to test/replace.....but it could have just been pot luck and decided to start.....shall soon see when I put it back together shortly if it starts again, lol

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Also a few pictures I just spotted on the renaultsport website from brands hatch :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project managed to fix my multi meter this morning....so first off was to check the perm and ign lives to the ECU... the permanent was intermittent, sometimes was 12v+ and sometimes 0.1 odd....maybe a dead wire...so replaced that with some new wire, now 12v at both...

the dephaser pulley moves on the end of the camshaft to adjust the cam timing slightly to aid low down driving (under 1500rpm or so) it moves when the solenoid on the top of the rocker cover activates and puts oil into the pulley a.k.a - vvt

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah checked all as they were all thats changed since this started is me moving the ECU, so it has to be wiring related to be honest...im gona try and resolder a few of them in a minute with fresh wire and see if it makes a difference, if not il re-wire the...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah its from your old car, im going to replace all the extensions first and go from there

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Yup 'ignition constant feed' or something, checked the earth and power (28 and 29) wires and they both seem fine... Only thing that was suggested was some of the wire ive used has possibly corroded inside or has a 'dry' spot, as its all been taken from old...

yup thats his plate

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project fault code is when the ECU power as been interrupted, but I dont see how as of yet lol

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Tried some other relays earlier with no joy, just the same.... Anyway this is what I have now tried: Swapped crank sensor, which did not fix it. Removed all conduit from ECU wiring, checked all the joints one by one, all fine. Checked the ECU plug, seems...
