Thanks buddy! You wait till I have to start chopping it up soon! Needs new sills, rear arches (both inner and outer), front inner-wing (to correct the bonnet gap from the crash). I wanted to switch to the 172 clocks for a few reasons. Although I had the correct mileage on the valver clocks for...

Okay so while I had a couple weeks off over Christmas, I had f0xys wiring guide and my set of 172 clocks from the donor car and set about wiring them in. Standard clocks: Back when I had the 1.2 I made myself a set of white gauges for the oil dials, I still had the scans so I set about making...

looks like you have a ph1 pin out above mate but if it doesn't match that's strange

http://f0xy.net/_mk1documents/172_Ph1_Instrument_Panel_to_Mk1_-_Wiring_Information.pdf Here you go mate, not exactly a diagram like yours and says where to wire it to a mk1 but on the left side it tells you what each pin is for so you can use it for knowing what goes where

Aha we can be of help to each other - bear with me 1 second I'll find it for you

I don't suppose you have a pin out for them do you? A friend of mine wants to put the matching ph2 dials from his engine into his car (mines ph1 clocks and I already have the pinout for that one) thanks mate

Hi thanks for your reply - I can confirm the plugs are the same - unsure about the wiring but that doesn't matter as I will be soldering the plug into my mk1 loom anyway Thank you :)

Mainly looking at the actual 172 PH1 and PH2 instrument cluster plugs. I am looking to wire in my ph1 instrument cluster into my mk1 - are the plugs the same for the ph1 and the ph2 as I have access to some ph2 plugs but not ph1. I believe the ph1 has a 30 pin grey connector and a 15 pin red...

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] :D glad its almost finished for you, sounds like it'll be worth the wait however :)

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] Wow what a story! It's taken me a full week to read this, that said its made my commute to work much easier!! Actually can't believe the luck you have had with this! It was like one thing after another! Would be interested to see pics of the...

Definitely!!

I still use the car for a daily and fancied something a little bit comfier, sooo I got a williams interior off of Mat Brown which has the added bonus of a working lumbar support. So got up early and off we go to Mat Browns: Stopped halfway for a maccies brekkie, got back home 200 mile...

I... like it :D I really do :) keep it going chap!

I have ph2 172 front seats and on the left side theres a knob and all it does is spin - whats this actually for? Also I find these seats make my lower back ache when I drive for more than 15 mins in the car - do any of you guys get this? Cheers

Duddeee I'm totally stealing your handling mods for mine aswell ^_^

Ahh good news then :D

I can't imagine he will scrap it if its actually a valver because brooklands valvers are so rare

Whats the plans on this one then mate

Any updates on the engine??

Small update really: Couple of days ago I was doing something with my wheels, I cant remember what, and I thought that I would try the 15mm spacer that I have on the back wheel on the front just to gauge clearance - as I will need about 15 - 20mm spacer if I want to fit the 197 4 pots. It...

Nope, the bolt spacing is different iirc and the hub is thicker where the bolt onto and they are longer and you get some wierd issue with the top mounts aswell kiz tried it on c16v and had issues. Mk1 stuff is easier to use mate

I have t1rs on my mk1 f4r and it spins them when driving if its wet and I go from like a little throttle to full throttle - does it v rarely only under specific conditions

I forgot about the rack!! The 172 rack has less turns lock to lock so is an upgrade to

Yeah I'll work out how to fit the 182 subby and get the aircon in, I saw a frenchie fit the wipers and everything from a 182 before

Nice :) with regards to the question on willliams bits the brakes are the same as valver but the arb wishbones and driveshafts are different because they give a wider track yiu can also fit the widetrack from a 172 if you really want to fill the arches as thats wider still

Awesomeness :) so interior loom and door locks are all just a straight swap?? Great news as I am looking to re-shell a 182 into my mk1 at some point :)

Nice one coopsie!! Will have a fair few of us with these running now :D

Awesome thanks for the answer I'll have a read of that on my way home

What makes your mk1 handle so well mate??

I'll be running boost at some point but that will probably be 20vt
