Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project [Year 3 - Engine and Chassis Rebuild]
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Well, ive got cadwell on tuesday, then mallory park on saturday 15th...
After that im going to buy an aftermarket ECU and tidy everything up in the engine bay, swap gearboxes etc....Will re-fit them then, so when the ECU is mapped it will all be fine together

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Yeah was raised slightly before cadwell at the beginning of July, then i had more cage added so it went back down.......then since removed battery from the back and its gone back up again!
Anyway, cars ready for cadwell on tuesday now Just fitted the passenger seat, other harness, tidied up a few other loose ends, sorted the battery box properly etc...
I was going to cut the doors up to remove some more weight, but left it as I didnt want to rush it....
Leaving tommorow, hopefully no issues with it again and it will run spot on! Video camera will be on all day again, hopefully get some good footage

He's on his way round here now, so I'll answer...
Standard cams back in as it was never mapped for the Schricks, he's going for an aftermarket ECU in the next few weeks so will be refitting them and mapping to suit.
172 clocks also, with full trip/mpg function.
He also gave it a tail for pulling him out the gravel

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
got past a few sports etc, near enough the same as Chris's (480bhp) fully stripped trophy, got some footage of that then my wheel nearly came off!
I still think it has more power than with the schricks, its running the group n map at the moment....Obviously its suffering slightly with the weight of the cage being complete for now, got weight to loose from the doors and then that will be about it
Videos will show all!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
no idea....bloor mentioned last night on the way to the hotel he thought my wheel looked odd, thought nothing of it as it was dark....then started getting vibrations at high speed through the wheel, came off and it was mega loose!
Never had a problem with that before....so god knows!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
doesn't sound clever, good that it was all sorted though,
foxy would you be interested in a 172 alternator thats brand new???
(not sure if it suits your build or if you fitted a good one)

Had 2 laps behind it and then once passed he started a cool down lap - speed wise it wasnt pulling on me once we settle into a pace - You need semi slicks next foxy as i could of carried alot more speed.
Did u get the video uploaded when im behind?
looks sweet as mate
