Rob, this seems to be coming along real nice. Awesome to see the lump back together.
Its lookin peachy now its all painted up and hopefully should be pretty bullet proof.
Foxys input must surely inspire a lot of peace of mind too. Really enjoying following this build lads, keep up all the good work!

I've just read through this thread. You've done some great bits. Be interesting how your brakes turn out. I'm doing the same but i'm plumbing in the cup bias valve which i bought a little while ago.
Keep up the good work

Manage to get it running last night?

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion
Right didnt post anything up last night when we put the engine in so ill do it now. Once we had built the engine up, runn about to find a few more bolts, we got round to putting the flywheel, cluthc and gearbox on.
Fly wheel on, all torrqued up as per renault. With some locktight on the threads to help prevent the bolts coming loose.
Next was the new OEM valeo clutch
Fitted the clutch and tightened all the bolts up to the correct torque settings as per renault.
After abit of fiddling about getthing the clutch center we got the gearbox on and tightened up.
Next was the crank sensor..
Then the engine was all built up and ready to go onto the car.

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion
Lifting the engine in was quite tricky, took a while to get everything centered up and all engine mounts on and tightened up.
Next we got the inlet on and the ht leads all plugged in
Next was to fit the cat and the yozza exhaust.... And oh my... the cat was a pain to fit.
Got loads done tonight. Will post up some pictures tomorrow.

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion
Everything connected and ready to go. The slam panel is not being fitted yet as I am replacing the radiator with a different one - after the one I purchased off here was snapped off at the bottom Also missing a few bits for the dogbone mount so it cant be driven as of yet anyway...
Exhaust was fitted the other night also... The hanger is going to be modified so its raised into a cutout (with 182 surround) on a different 172 bumper that I have when everything else is done...

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion
Yep... Feet are snapped off it so it wont sit in the subframe..
Already got the new one, its already got a cutout in it. The current one will be for sale when the time comes...
fook, another case of being screwed over by a seller?
Engine looks schweeeet
