[len_beach]

The best of both worlds.

 

[Graham Gooch]

Now that is tidy!

 

[tommyboy]

awesome!! rapid? handle like the dogs dangleys? I want it

 

[ollie]

Very, very nice!

 

[Bradharding]

mmmm fit. Would he answer questions. Bet it took a long time and was very hard to do?

 

[Middo]

amazing!

 

[Richj_172]

he said to me it was easy but im not sure how long it took him

it also ran a 14.1 at santa pod few weeks back that was running a laguna gear box

 

[Alan]

Ace that...

Old skool cool with modern day performance...

 

[rustybolt]

winston wont be happy, he is doing this to the iilams.

 

[Richj_172]

we was wondering if there was any1 doing or done the same lol

 

[rustybolt]

yep winston off here, hes already got the donor car and its safe to say the williams is nearly ready to go, he hasnt a dash in..

I bet its serious fun tho, how fast compared to a normal valver?

Nothing wrong with the F7R engine though for the cost often you can have a quicker F7R than tunned F4R costs to fit.

 

[Winston]

Very nice!!!

Im planning to do one after FCS.... got most the bits now

What F4R did you use? Ph1 172, Ph2 172 or 182?... How did he tackle the wiring?, I was just going to run both looms

Glad to see someone else is doing it.... Might be quizing you guys in the future

14.1 is a nice time..... How much interior does it have

MORE SPEC & PICS PLS

 

[davebem]

Nice work!! The mk1 bay looks slightly bigger than the mk2. A 172mk1 engine? as has the cable throttle but must be 172cup'd as has the air con pump took off.

 

[bill]

nice, very nice!

 

[Nafoff]

nice......there are a few planned

i know of one that should be throttle bodied also...no more said about that though

 

[bill]

is it a standard engine?

 

[Topgeartom]

moist.

Would be interested to know actually how easy this was to do.

Surprised at how much bloody room there is compared to the standard F7P lump! Id kill for that alternator acces!

 

[bill]

from what i've read on it, i thought it was hard as f**k to do? thought nick read was on with one about fifty year ago

 

[Richj_172]

all i no is its a ph1 manual cable throttle engine and beat my freinds impreza wrx down the strip lol

full leather interior
as soon as he's on he'll leave the specs etc he just did'nt no how to post pictures

 

[Mark One]

didnt even realise that was possible! thought those lumps were much too tall!
Congrats
more specs!

 

[cat171]

more specs!

I was told that too, as I thought about that conversion years ago & asked if it had been done - at the time it hadn't, then a bloke in france did it on his valver.

I like that valver, it looks spot on - nice conversion too

 

[mini-valver]

Looks well done! Did you use the cup alternator set-up or make up all your own brackets etc?

Ghetto IK though, get a decent filter set-up and I'm sure you'd notice a difference as that must heat soak to feck!

 

[bill]

ring your mate up and tell him to get his ass on here asap, theres people waiting to go to bed lol,

 

[Ryan]

looks the mutts!

A 172 Coupe would be an idea as well lol

 

[lisa16v]

thats well nice must of cost a bit.

 

[Giles]

looks good

Was a white valver yes? I saw that ages ago on here iirc? Looked ace.

That blue one does look good thou too, I will keep my eye open for that on the roads!

 

[Rich_16v]

Yep the one in France was a white valver, a few years ago now

I'm hoping Winston will do a progress thread for his conversion

 

[Christopher]

aye the white French valver had 172 interior etc also...stunning car

very, very nice though fella!

 

[Winston]

I'll be doing a progress thread Rich... Wasn't it one of the conditions of getting the car from you

Anyone got the link to the White one?

PS ....Still Drooooooooooooling

 

[Jonaldinho]

Didn't realise this was possible either. Top work!

 

[edde]

A 172 Coupe would be an idea as well lol

Its been done already.

 

[Batman]

yup guy not to far away from me has it done with ITB's!

 

[edde]

Its been done already.

yup guy not to far away from me has it done with ITB's!

Theres more than a few been done I believe.

i realy don't see the point doing the transplant realy especialy if your doing ITb's might as well kleep to the "proper" 2.0 engine.

exactly

 

[AlexS]

I think Christophers FPM has just been knocked off the top spot!
I reckon a 172 engine in a Kangoo would be the b****cks.

 

[GarethM]

awesome

love it
