Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project

Yeah, quite a bit to do...

Still need to swap the gearboxes over, finish getting the rest of the cage bars welded in, get the map sorted, save some more weight (doorskins + battery), tidy up engine bay again (ECU Relocate Take 2) and quite a few other bits :)

that would depend on the GTT, Adey spent more on his clio suspension than he did on his whole GTT, on the other hand my GTT would suck his clio up and spit it out of my tailpipe ;) but then my gearbox cost more than his whole clio...
