Got home from work at 7:45 this morning and read through all pages.
Was really worth the read, real nice job , excellent. Wonder what the weight is like this.

Is that a phase 1 airbox you got in there ? looks huge on one of the pics ?
(got a phase 1 airbox myself cheap and switching it for my square box, that's why i';m wondering)

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

Been on late shifts the last few days so finally got around to finishing the door panels. While wandering around Halfords recently I noticed these.


IMAGE_408.jpg


They had them in all shapes & sizes & these ones cost about £7 each. They have a very strong sticky pad on the back but I used some small bolts, with number plate screw caps, at the top just to help. Gives me a nice little pocket on the panel for keys & stuff. Here they are ready to go on.

IMAGE_421.jpg



Offered up to the door & secured at the bottom first.

IMAGE_423.jpg



Decided I needed some kind of handle to pull the door shut. So went to the local scrappy again on the look out for something that I could use. Ended up with some Mondeo headlining grab handles. (Yet more Ford parts on my Renault) rubbed them down & painted black to match the window switch pods. Bolted them through the panel & straight to the metal of the door for strength.


IMAGE_426.jpg


Modified the metal of the door so the handle would sit a little bit more flush with the panel. Spent ages doing this, trying to get it right & then said 'f**k it, That will do!'

IMAGE_425.jpg



Fitted some new door speakers, as the old ones looked s**te & were blown I think. Ebay specials!


IMAGE_427.jpg


IMAGE_428.jpg



Done!
Before.....

After......

Lowered the passenger seat & set it as far back as possible to get the passenger out of the way. Might help with weight & balance abit too :rasp: Bought a 'Rally car' style navigators foot rest for the passenger/victim to put their feet against.

IMAGE_430.jpg




Spent quite abit of time getting the position right. Both to get it comfortable & so I could bolt it down. Needed to find somewhere to mount it that cleared the under chassis box sections. Drilled some holes in the floor, only in 3 corners as the 4th would be too close to pipes under the car.

I might paint it black at a later date, not sure tho. Opinions?





Now ive got a problem with the clutch, b*****d!

You care to much about your passengers.

I'm not even going to bother with a proper seat/harness.

They can hang the f*** on, or rattle around like a pin-ball.

Burp,

How is that dash coming along? Does it fit over existing Dials etc? I am tempted to do the same myself as my dash is looking rather aged....

Its a standard ph1 dash top so yea it will fit no probs. Same shape as the 172 just doesn't have the hole for the airbag. It was black instead of blue but its being flocked as we speak, should be back any day now :D

Hi mate, I had a new set fitted (incl. valves, balance & VAT) today for £126 :D:D:D PM me for details...
Click to expand...

Got mine off ebay. the cheapest i could find at the time but there are cheaper about now. I dont pay for fitting as i do it myself at my mates place. They are a Silly price really and came recomended by a member on here who has done lots of track days. You cant even buy shitty budgets on the high street for that money.

Cant go wrong

Well it went on the rollers today and gave a very poor 142bhp @ fly and 117bhp @ wheels.

When i first drove it, then jumped into my old ph2, i instantly said to my mate that it didnt seem as fast as i thought it would be. It just didnt appear to eager to rev. Ive been prooved right. Now to sort it when funds allow

I reckon so, pmurry had almost the same low power and reported cam timing wrong on his ph1. Looking through the history the belt was done about 4-5k ago but by 'Joe Blogs Motors' Bet there will be tip-ex timing marks
