Odyssey ph1 172 pure track car. No tax discs here........

[Rhys Beal]

Not really, Going to get her mapped on the Omex for the current set up (cammed f7r 180ish) then either bodies, F4RT or VAG 1.8t lols

1.8t sounds a superb shout! Highly reliable power right there.

I will run ITB's for now then build up my other engine that I have as supercharged

A pathetic update...



Last week my dampers arrived from being rebuilt! Wow only 3 months turn around.. So I built them up and took a photo as I couldn't even remember what they looked like its been so long

From now on I will be using Cook Sport. Josh seems a very helpful and reliable chap who will from now on get my business

 

[shiftspark]

I dont blame you, I am surprised they still sell them over here with that level of customer support.

Ah cheers mate

I can't wait either! Once I have the shell back it will all come together quite quickly

The guy doing your cage has had it a fair while now, is that what you still waiting on or other things you've had done to it??

He has indeed. I am infact working for him too atm because he is very busy and promises me that it will be done soon!
Once I have it back I will get it as complete as I can then it will go back to him and have a rad and tank made

AST's look great, should be a great track car when finished.

Cheers mate, I look forward to seeing yours now too!

 

[Greeny.]

I can't believe you had an issue with your new AST's from the factory, fairly embarrassing for them considering how much they cost!!

 

[Rhys Beal]

9 laps around the ring and an internal stanchion bush gave up so the stanchion had a fair bit of lateral movement. Fixed FOC

Ah mate I never saw those vids! Send them when you get a min

Very odd about the AST's, James has just had the same issue with his set as well. Looks like a dodgy batch.

I know! He text me the other day with his bad news...hopefully he gets his sorted much much quicker

 

[t90_lle]

Updates??

 

[Rhys Beal]

First off apologises for a thread that was going so well to begin with!

Should see some decent updates in the next couple of weeks. I know I keep saying end of this month etc.. but this month should see the car back home although I won't be around for too much of it as I'm away in Tunisia and then Mallorca.

I have bought a Sparco steering wheel and boss that came straight from a genuine Clio Cup racer

 

[dmallett]

Less holidays more progress!!

If you don't get this back and running by Xmas I will be disappointed. After that i will drag it to my newly acquired garage and finish it, and i know you like things done properly/perfect so you best get going on it

Feel free to help me rebuild my 182 seriously lacking motivation and patience for my car :/

 

[dmallett]

If it isn't done by xmas I will Lewis! Working 7 days a week atm so can only bodge in the dark!

 

[Rhys Beal]

It WILL be done before Christmas. There I have said it....think of a forfeit?

More progress will happen (I have been told) when I am abroad next week so look forward to seeing it when I get back!

 

[LewisTaylor]

I've got an idea, if you don't get it done by Christmas ill hide your tyre pressure gauge

FLOL! its ok tesco sell AA digital ones for £1.34.

 

[Rhys Beal]

....I can't live without that..

Anyway, care about cars for a while...I'm off to Tunisia in an hour

 

[JackD]

Updates??

 

[Rhys Beal]

Updates??

Coming soon.

Should have the car back by the end of this month. I know I have been saying that now for the last..I don't know how long but really this time it will be!

 

[JackD]

Look forward to it! I'm starting my own track ph1 project soon! Stolen lots of ideas, so thanks for that!

 

[Rhys Beal]

Glad that I have been of some inspiration to you!

Once the shell is back I will do my best to work like a trojan to hopefully have it complete by March sometime...Dan and Scott, you will have to work hard too

 

[JackD]

Christmas deadline not possible I take it then? I wish I could follow your project to the t but I have to be more economical and balance the increase in performance with cost and added fun factor! Mine will be the pikey version of a track car!

 

[Rhys Beal]

Christmas deadline is way out of the question I'm afraid There is still alot of fabrication work to do, painting and wiring
