Tungsten hybrid up and running

[Bradharding]

As some of you know I have recently fitted my Megane F7R engine and it's running spot on. I did have trouble getting it running but it turned out to be the fuiel injectors seized up. But it's fine now and does seem fast! I gave it a good clean and polish tonight and here are some pics! (not the best of quality but the sun was glaring and I was being quick)

Back to ph1 grilleness! Ph1 ftw!

And one of the bay as it stands right now. Needs some covers and general tidying and stuff

Yeah... Offer me the right money

On a serious note though, it's not mint. Arches are going, so I'm looking to get them repaired and resprayed before fcs!

Thanks for the nice comments though guys.

Brad, you know I like the Tungy! :Approve:

Looks very clean in the pics, unlike how it was when you came to Star City.

 

[Bradharding]

Donny you know it was the shiniest car at star city! *Lies*

 

[Bluebeard]

PM me if you want a sale!

 

[AlexS]

Thats very very nice.

 

[mini-valver]

Dan, you'll just buy it, look at it and sell it


The only thing I'd change is the lights as they dont seem to sit right, other than that It's MINT! ONe of my favourite cars on here since I saw it at last years Star city meet, credit to you mate!

 

[Bluebeard]

Probably! lol

I have wanted a tungsten Hybrid since i was... like.... 6 years old! (well, you know what i mean!)

I love them. AmirClio's car was the SEXIEST thing. Ever.

 

[Wazza182]

Looks like all of the hard effort has payed off, imo i would get a new pair of headlights as it would finish it off.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Like it

 

[Anni182]

it was a bag of poo! old banger was what i used to call it lol

(altho it was faster than my 182 )

 

[Bradharding]

Amirs did look nice but unfortunately he wasn't the worlds greatest engineer, and the current owner has had loads of problems. I'm tempted to put my standard lights back in if I can find them, and maybe get a HID kit this summer. The trims under the lights sit really s**t, they dont fit like they do on the originals Dan you just sold your 172 and looking to come back to the old skool then?

 

[mini-valver]

It's where the wing meets them at the bottom more fella....


Brand new standards and its perfect!...................................................IMO

 

[Paul.]

very very impressive

 

[Anni182]

oh and it looks lovely brad

 

[B5 BDJ]

sweet

 

[Anni182]

im not surprised hes had lots of problems, i always thought it was dodgy but i dont know anything about cars and amir always said it was amazing! (when the engine actually started and we hadnt broken down that is!)

 

[Mark One]

lovely car! has it ever had a respray? Looks mint.

Good shout on the uprated clutch. Sorted

 

[Bradharding]

uprated clutch was a bargain! £26 from ebay, buy of the build that was. I think maybe it has had a respray from previous owner, but not in the 'nearly' 2 years I've had it. Pics do it justice to be fair!

 

[Bluebeard]

Dan you just sold your 172 and looking to come back to the old skool then?

Only for a Hybrid. Don't want a valver, and already had a willy.

Hybrid ftw!

 

[Laine_16v]

im not surprised hes had lots of problems, i always thought it was dodgy but i dont know anything about cars and amir always said it was amazing! (when the engine actually started and we hadnt broken down that is!)

Well since ive had it, ive replaced 2 headgaskets, given it a new engine, replaced brake calipers, hoses, clutches, gearboxes e.t.c

Its getting to where it should be , you can tell amir its being done properly this time!

 

[Coby.]

Looking Good Fella... Would love a Hybrid as a Project but many Factors are Stopping me

 

[Martin]

:dapprove: The lights ruin it for me

 

[x-172]

are those my wheels

 

[Christopher]

STUNNING.

I want it!!

 

[Poopensharten]

Such a fine example of how it should be done! Liking it, i notice that you havent had the centre caps sprayed aswell as the wheel, intresting my F1's are getting sprayed and i decided against spraying of the centre caps also, this it looks great!

Have you got any performance figs>!>?

 

[Bradharding]

Tbh mate I was wanting to spray the centre caps aswell. But I had the wheels powdercoated and obviously centre caps are plastic. Was going to paint them seperately but just never bothered. No performance figs I'm afraid yet. Mad a couple of vids yesterday. Will upload them in a bit.

Little bit dissapointed with the performance after about 80 though. I guess it could be a combo of things i.e. valver exhaust manifold, crappy induction kit, normal unleaded? Still, I'm looking to create a scuttle panel induction in the next few weeks.

 

[leeds_182]

Minter.

 

[Ian_182]

Lovely car

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Nice

 

[alex-avfc]

Love this. Tungsten Grey is the best colour on the MK1s i reckon, unless ur lucky enuf to have a williams. Fair play to u

 

[Limca]

love it

 

[Bash]

What does it do if u reaplace the F7R head with a 16S/16valver head? nice car tho.

 

[Bradharding]

Cheers guys. Bash, the megane F7R head runs with DIS (Distributorless Ignition System) basically it's just one big pack that goes straight to your spark plugs, and it won't run in a clio 16v without
A. Standalone Management
B. Having head machined to fit a dizzy

So it's easier just to fit a williams f7r or 16v f7p head. Finding a williams head can be hard and I got quids in by selling the megane head and buying an f7p head.

 

[kie1an]

were you in tamworth on the weekend ? snowdome ?

 

[Bradharding]

My girlfriend lives in Tamworth mate. But I wasn't there this weekend no. Quite often pass snowdome when I get onto the A5 to come home.
