Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project ditto ;) Considering im not going to the ring in july now (boohoo), got... 6th July - Cadwell 11th Aug - RenaultSport Cadwell and probably one at Donnington inbetween....along with the RenaultSport one at oulton (thats been rearranged to november, doh!)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah, they are nice! the map isnt right, really boggy up to just under 3k, then pulls like a train... waiting for a schrick map from henk hopefully, see how that goes. Its not really 'loud' now, im just comparing it to what it used to be... I had...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project i wish ;) nah a mate did. cut it to length, he picked it up, welded it, brought it back within 20 mins, so its all good!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project all done....quite a bit louder, defo how it should have been in the first place! will post a few vids tommorow :)

depends which cam is out, and by how far....its not hard to get the timing wrong when doing the belt IMO, as the pulleys are not keyed on the end of the cams...it will run upto so many degrees out (few on here have had them running fine but down on power after cambelt changes)

iirc it never moved properly.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Picked up some 2.5" straight stainless pipe this morning, just took the center section off... Center silencer cut out, straight pipe welded into the place....hopefully should give a bit more noise, just got to fit it now!

I think some require the strut tops to be drilled, and others fit without drilling... I have the AST ones, which require no drilling, straight fitment...Ive not been in a car with any of the others, but I can say solid top mounts by far made a noticeable difference to the drive, and the 'feel'...

nice progress, hopefully meet it and you on a track sometime soon!

self adjusting suspension? lol nice

cant wait to see how the hybrid is round there next month. you running mega positive camber on the fronts lol?

ditto... any updates on passes/tickets etc?

yeah, think its the guy I originally sold it to

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeh got a few things to sort, downpipe is knocking constantly, clean up the oil all over the subframe, bla bla bla, then should be reet!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project New seals on this morning, timed up again and its all good (for now) ikhXXGsK0DY

2nd picture on his ebay ad is one I took, and my car....thats what they are on about

meh ;)

you just swap the adjuster motors over, then they work on a nonsport from the adjuster inside the car perfectly fine

nah had to order from renault

yeah thats the way I had it....turns out the exhaust cam seal had a split in it thanks anyway.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project well engines in bits now cams out again etc, just covered it all up for today ordered new seals from reno (comes as a pack iirc) for 20 odd quid....gotta somehow get them tommorow when they come in... then its just a matter of fitting the seals, timing it...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project just stripped it down, exhaust cam seal on the pulley had split somehow, and was leaking from there....ghey.

F4R engine....Fitted some schricks yesterday, reassembled, developed a leak from the camshaft seals (pulley end)... Well only just found this out after stripping it down again....is the groove on the seal meant to be facing the pulley, or the inside of the head? Thanks if anyone can confirm...

this ones lasted 1200 mile now ;)

bens got his comfy r32 though too ;) surely I cant be far off...no dash/heaters/blowers/polycarbs all round/doors+boot+bonnet skins cut out/2 buckets/6 point harnesses/manual steering/rock hard suspension......verges on silly for day to day use imo lol.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project it only seemed to start leaking after I gave it some beans (upto 7k).....definitely wasnt before that as there is nothing on either driveway..... defo feels like more torque, but didnt do it again so not noticed much tbh, drove it home under 2k revs....so...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project nah runs like normal, no odd sounds etc... Its either going to be a cam end seal or the cap on the end of the dephaser.....sure they were both ok though!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project nah, aint happening! shes made her mind up this time lol! Gonna try and rectify the oil problem in the morning seeing as shes at work though, lol
