Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
i am the rig-up KING.
In further news, all the lights are now working, bar the rear fogs. Hazards, indicators, headlights, sidelights, brake lights, everything....
Also re-fitted the wings....
Thats about it, hoping the brake lines will arrive in the morning!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
sounds good!
on a seperate note - how much you reckon you've spent doing all this on the mk1? got to be a pretty penny.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
fucked off waiting for those now, will probably arrive in a few months at this rate.
Fitted the standard top mounts back on, but I cant be arsed getting the tracking setup with those on, as itl all move when I put the solid top mounts on....so im stuck really.
Im hoping it will be on the road early next week, minus the cage/interior, which is going to be sorted in the next week or two

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
not much of an update....but here goes...
Throttle cable mount finished, after making the extension (read back) to make the throttle cable nice and tight, instead of slack, the bonnet would not close. The bolt was too long....time for some thinking.
First, the finished throttle cable bracket, painted black, now with a 'thin' nut (old one milled in half)...
Spent a few hours on a few bits of metal on the milling machine, and ended up with this...a small angled shim. Points the bracket downwards perfectly to allow the bonnet to close
Not many updates as ive been busy trying to get things done. The cage has now been fully painted satin black, well all the bits of it. Its ready to be welded into the car now...
Also finished the wiring, well, got everything working. All lights front and rear, all the stalk controls, the clocks are complete. Diag port also properly wired in nice and tidy, along with a ciggy lighter hole hidden out of the way for tomtom charging. All thats left to do on the wiring side is tidy up the scuttle panel fusebox, then il be happy with that
More soon...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
drove it up and down the road earlier a few times, and yeah, its kinda nippy, lol
Still no air filter or anything on it, steering column not attached properly, wires everywhere, but it drives
Still waiting on braided lines, AST top mounts (maybe next year when they arrive) and a few other things...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
ive not pulled out, yet....and I cant be arsed emailing powerstation, if Kam are having problems getting hold of powerstation themselves, im not going to be any better.
Its just been one big joke from the start with it really, dont know how long its been now, but meh!
Standard top mounts are on at the moment, hence driving it etc.....but im going to be making a decision next few days on what to do about it regarding refund etc, as its become a bit silly now.
Geesus, are they still on you're old car?

No idea how true it is but I've heard that Powerstation haven't been paying AST for their orders. May explain the wait....
