Wiper wise, tried a new stalk if everything has power? Bypass the stalk and see if the motor runs....

yeah....tried that....the motor has 5 wires.....Perm live, earth, and three others. I left perm+earth connected all the time, and tried giving the other three live one by one....nothing happened :S

tried another wiper mech/motor too, nothing?!

i think its to do with the two ignition lives on the stalk not getting power, but im not sure and its raining now

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

That box is short isnt it. The limiter gets a good work out in 1st doesn't it I'm sure you'll get used to it soon though.

Nice to see it back on the road.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Glad you finally got it all sorted, and back on the road!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Whiteley, im twice as quick as you to 100 ha!

Basically im hating the engine on the valver box, unless something else is up with it.....it pulls to 120mph in 5th with ease, well to the red line in every gear with ease tbh!

Bounces off the limiter at 120 and wont go anymore....pulls stupidly well out of the corners though (when it gripped.....lol)

 

[Brett]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Could you not use a Cup or Ph1 box? I'd prefare slightly longer ratio's, the car has more than enough bhp/ton to deal with the longer ratio's.

 

[Winston]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Sure the speedo is reading correctly?

120mph top speed would do me sweet lol... just get some grippy tyres

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

yeah its reading spot on....70mph is 69mph gps so it aint far out!

 

[Guppy]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Bet the 0-60 time if you could get grip would be awesome!

 

[ditz]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

im liking the sound of that to be honest... might see if i can get hold of a valver box for mine

hmm does'nt sound right, i was able to get 140 out of my old jb3 ( valver box ) with the f7r, 140 @7k dead on. in your vids it sounds like the car is hitting the limiter way to early......

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

RS Tuner via OBD is showing 7150-7200 when hitting the limiter though...?!

 

[Alex_X93]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

What orange wheels u runnin steelies or ph1 chamade or mk1 clio alloys?

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Valver turbines sprayed orange on friday before I left for marham...

still got the powdercoated williams wheels in satin black which are the normal set...

 

[Matteh]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

if it *is* a valver box, then to redline at 120 (gps) you'd have to have a 6000rpm limiter :S

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

its 120 GPS yes....so RS Tuners fucked or out?!

I cant tell off the rev counter as ive not adjusted it yet

 

[Matteh]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

can u connect the blue ones clocks to test the rev counter as they're untouched?

rstuner shouldnt be fucked though

they do limit lower in 3,4,5.. but not that low!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

what speeds are you getting through the rest of the gears at the limiter? this is mine on my old valver box to give you an idea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKIA0WMXVA0&feature=channel

1st: 35ish
2nd:60ish
3rd:88ish
4th:108ish
5th:140:star:

limiter set at 7k

 

[f0xy]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

all i know is 4th = 95, 5th = 120, both on limiter

it pulls through the gears very quickly but has no speed?!

 

[Bluebeard]

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

I thought your vids looked a little wierd tbh. Sounds like its got proper silly short ratios!!
