Re: The story of a high mileage 172

maybe you could fasten the ignition to the accelerator pedal, you won't be using it anymore?

 

[Russ_16v]

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

Ooh didnt think of that, another mod on the list!!

 

[Russ_16v]

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

Being serious now, they are tucked away in my office as a paper weight at the moment

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

[Russ_16v]

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

[Gray]

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

ahhh brilliant!

Look forward to updates

 

[Russ_16v]

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

Im hoping it's going to be one of the cheapest builds on here, still done correctly, and with decent bits (the bodies and manifold are Jenvey) just trying to get the best prices for things, working very well so far

 

[Russ_16v]

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

Was hoping to get a fair bit done today, but it keeps bloody raining, and the rain happens to be blowing right into my flippin garage :nono:

So iv given up and as im getting a bit of fabrication work done Wednesday (Hopefully) then I cant see any reason why I cant have it all bolted up end of the next next/weekend

 

[Nafoff]

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

what fabrication you looking at darling?

 

[Russ_16v]

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

Iv got a mate who conveniently works as an engineer for Dysons, so has a workshop available to him, so Im lucky that he is doing a few bits for me - PM'd Sweetie x

 

[Russ_16v]

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

Im doing something that has not been done before as far as im aware, few people have done things similar, but not with what im using so should be good

[Nick_P]

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

Re: The story of a high mileage 172

I think 4 63mm throttle bodies might be overkill for my engine lol


IV got a few ideas im going to try out, one is air filtration, hopefully that will work out well

[Russ_16v]

Re: The story of a high mileage 172
