not really a great deal to update, i have been really busy and really skint lately so the clio has taken a bit of a back seat
anyway i serviced the pug at the weekend so while i was over there i fit my new sensors from omex
cps sensor and bracket
coolant temp sensor
and air temp sensor (fixed into the pipercross airbox)
a front on shot now the rad is sitting straight
and a pic to show how tight it is for room in there!
sadly thats all for now, bring on pay day!

Excellent work dude
Altho i would be worried about taking that out rad with road contact... might be just the picture but it looks low

your TPS is fitted wrong. you should have the plate that's on the outside, on the inside, the big hole in it centers the TPS

nice work
You got any of the standard coolant hoses by any chance?
ive got all the hoses bar the top rad hose, well i have it, but its in 2 pieces lol
yeh we were a touch concerned about that aswell :clown: those ali brackets sit about an inch or so lower than the subframe, and the bumper sits lower than that, so unless i whack the bottom of the bumper it 'should' be ok lol
ah cheers danny, i'll get that changed round. i bought it like that so it must have been like that for a while on other peoples cars lol
yeah, well im not even sure if mine is the 172 item. goes all the way down under my clutch fork then back up the other side onto the rad lol....
I was going to cut it and try and make it into just an S bend, as the inlet for the top rad on mine is only a bit lower than the thermostat housing, but it just kinks, so im on the lookout of a way around it lol

that doesnt look like the 172 item! looks way too long
i looked into the flexible coolant hoses, but not sure how good they are? http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/flexible-rubber-coolant-hose-80-c.asp
with my 172 hose, all i did was cut out maybe an inch or 2 and it stopped kinking

yeah seen hoses like that, but as you said I have no idea how good they are (or not) either...
I have been looking around autojumbles when ive seen them at shows for a simple 'S' shaped hose in the right diameter, from another car etc, but ive yet to come across anything....wonder if there is anywhere that would make custom silicone hoses to specific shapes/sizes?! hmmmm.
The reason I haven't bought a whole samco/or similar set is I have no heater matrix, and im running a custom pipe to loop it back instead of going from the thermostat housing to the matrix, so I didnt want to be cutting up and bodging a brand new set of silicone ones

this is basically what i will be doing!
i think any supplier (SFS, Samco etc) will make any hose you like, its the cost that it probably the deciding factor

we've sorted all the issues now though
geesus, sent those bits yet?
ive got them all in the car (even found the fuel rail gaurd bolts), going to the post office tomorrow

a couple of pics of the revised feul pressure regulator setup, i think it looks alot neater than the FSE
then sunday morning, the best noise in the world.............
it runs again :approve:
new cps sensor from omex made all the difference!
only ran it for 10 secs as it has no coolant in it yet (still 'adjusting' the samco) but it was spitting flames out of trumpet number 1, so picked up a carb balancer on monday from the ever helpful Andyrg.
didn't get any work done monday as i was at croft spectating and having a passenger ride out in Northy's clio cup :approve: thanks again pal, was a good day out.

oh and after having a nosey at andy's car, i have decided to purchase a solid adjustable dog bone mount
means i can tilt the engine slightly, which will help the downpipe seal, clear a bit of room for my bottom rad hose, and give more room for the ITB's and pipercross airbox/filter

Glad you enjoyed your ride fella - get all this 172 off the car and back to a 1.8! Youll have more fun
lol don't tempt me!
Should have done that from the start
tbh i didn't see a need to until now, the itb's fit fine, just a touch more room would be nice, and the exhaust could be adjusted a bit more, it's just this bottom rad hose that is causing me a headache, and after seeing how much room andy has with it fitted, it made my mind up
'92 172, Lotus Elise
lol, we've all got solid dog bones for the exhaust
4th mount is deffo worth it though!
cheers!

list of things to do
- borrow someones laptop and omex lead, load new map and set TPS
- see if it starts and runs better
- tidy up remaining wires
- fit catch tank
- fit samco reducer for heater matrix pipe (when it arrives)
- fit samco vacuum hose
- fit solid dogbone and adjust to give more clearance for bodies and seal downpipe better
- wire in aftermarket rev counter (one wire needed lol)
- figure out why my oil pressure and temp gauges are giving duff readings
if i had the parts i could get it all done in a day, sadly im looking at a 2 week wait for my samco bits, and then i need to borrow a laptop etc
