Lowton, near the Co-Op if you know where that is...
I only carried on past the leigh bypass because I thought that Black Clio was going to try it on again, but he turned off down the bypass..
Usually has two seats in, took the other out for the french car show on the weekend just gone...
Schricks have been in around a week....its not even mapped yet, running on standard map at the moment, lol! Should be close to 190 when mapped.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
heh, they are not good in weather like we have had the past week or two, unbelieveable how hot it gets inside. Sliders are useless and dont let in any air at all really, and love to leak when it rains, oh well!
Got some more weight to loose yet, but it will be canceled out once I get my act together and get this cage welded in, just trying to get a decent welder on the case, hopefully this week!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Yeah thats only beef with my cage. The weight. I want a full one now though. The half one has been .in for years now.
My escort has a 6pt ally grp A one but they're banned now. Shame cos its light as hell
Not arsed about it leaking cos it doesn't get used much

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
The leaking is sometimes an issue in mine...no heaters or blower unit, when water comes in everything steams up, no way of getting rid! Daily driver at the moment too, so im hoping the weather stays like it has been!
Think my full cage weighs 29kg, or thats what they say. Full weld in though. Had it sat in the garage in bits since February, keep putting it off as no one whos decent at welding that I know has time to sort it. Ive got 3 weeks until cadwell, so im trying to get it in before then!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Went out to start it after being parked up all day, cranks and fuel pump goes like it should....dosent start though. Exact same issue as last time....how? God knows.
I drove it here earlier, and now it wont start....fail.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
ah cool nevermind.
well the cars back home now after a tow (lost count how many times now lol), just taken the casing off the ECU and all looks OK inside, nothing come off from the emulator and nothing moved, so its got to be wiring/sensor related on the car...
Let the fault finding begin!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
with ease iirc lol
god knows whats gone wrong, i drove it in quite heavy rain few miles down the road this morning....went through a puddle on passenger side (quite a big one, 30mph), but car was fine for rest of journey...
turned it off, left for 6-7hours, came back, wont start.
Turn key, pump primes, then go to start it.....it cranks over fine, but the fuel pump isnt running. Checked crank sensor, etc, had ECU apart now and the emulator is fine etc. Suppose il have to see what RSTuner says tommorow!
