172 Cup Project

[yeecup]

Not so good. Hope u get it sorted out

 

[MG cup]

K-tec will sell you the peddle plate along with a new pedal, cable and a couple of other small bits for circa £100 last time I tried. It's not essential and can be mounted with a bit of thought, best with it as it offers adjustment for pedals.

 

[Cup_Phil]

WOW

The pedal they provide is a cheap black plastic thing - I have one in my garage you can have for free, it's s**t.
The Ph1 pedal matches the rest and is much better made

I find it insane they'll only sell the mounting plate with a pedal - the mounting plate could be milled out of a block of aluminimum in minutes, it's only 4 holes in a rectangular block.


As for the Gen 90 - was saying to Mark I'm confused by that. It should be plug and play on a PH2. If it's not sending voltage out to the fuel pump there's something bloody weird gone on there too.

Try RS Tuning - they have done a few Gen 90 cars now. Don't FFS let K-Tec near the ecu or map lol

Im sure mark will sort it. As stated it had instructions for the ph1 pin swap but as far as I know this had not been done so should be plug and play. That's why I spent money on the thing after all!

​Its 12!

 

[Cup_Phil]

Mine was 169bhp and is now 194bhp - so a fair bit more than 12bhp gain lol

 

[leeds_182]

Went down to marks tonight so took a few more pics;

Trying to tackle the gen90!

 

[Simon_16v]

Any luck?

 

[leeds_182]

Any luck?

Still the same. Battle will recommence tomorrow.

 

[Cup_Phil]

It's about time Mark got a proper car in there instead of all that 106/saxo shite

I think he'll be glad to see the back of it if/when we get it out of there!

 

[leeds_182]

ECU should be back with me from ktec tomorrow.

Fingers crossed it'll be running soon.

 

[Chi]

So thumbs up for ktec?

 

[Simon_16v]

Updates Jim!

 

[leeds_182]

It runs!

Top grill trimmed to fit;

Parts missing from the bodies so gonna have to order those from jenvey.

Bonnet pins need sorting and throttle pedal but getting there.

 

[MG cup]

The linkages look alright mate?

 

[leeds_182]

They are but it's that circle clip thing that's missing from the other part. I've got this picture so I can show jenvey what's missing rather than trying to explain.

 

[len_beach]

Looking good Jimo. Can I buy it soon for £200?

 

[leeds_182]

Wait till its been fully finished. I've not quite lost enough money on it yet.

Ah I see, they will probably threw you a new set and any other cheapish bits your needing for free, they gave me the cable, linkages, bulkhead adaptor and so on for naff all, great company.

That would be good. When I did bodies on the rallye they were excellent for supplying the missing bits.

 

[JamesWilson]

Hope to see this on the road soon!!! I need to hear the noise.

 

[mike1pow]

Looking good!

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks great, sounds good too

 

[leeds_182]

Spoke to jenvey and they were very helpful and are sending me the missing parts for no charge.

 

[Cup_Phil]

They are such a great bunch of people.

 

[leeds_182]

Got the replacement bits from jenvey as well as an crank case breather.

The bonnet should be getting butchered later on tonight!

 

[leeds_182]

My bonnet now officially has holes in it....

 

[len_beach]

Who did it Jim?

 

[leeds_182]

Who did it Jim?

A local metal fab guy. I only saw a quick peak as was at work but the holes looked tidy.

 

[leeds_182]

Oil breather fitted;

Bonnet pins fitted;

 

[Cup_Phil]

Proper job!!

 

[Fletcher]

Looking good.

 

[leeds_182]

Catches just need tweaking a bit but should be good for a test run after that.

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks great.

 

[mike1pow]

Get a vid up!

 

[leeds_182]

Re booked in with rs tuning for the next available date.....

The 3rd October! Those guys are BUSY!
