Am I right in thinking the 3 pin Ph1 Speedo drive is just live, earth and signal? Can you just live and earth the correct wires up and then feed the signal wire straight to the correct pin out on the dashboard clocks or does it need to go through the ECU first? Cheers Rich

Anyone know the dimensions for PMS Top Mount Bearings? http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/replacement-bearing-for-top-mount-kit.html I'd give them a ring but they are on holiday all next week. Cheers Rich

I've just made a little sub loom from a 197 CoP Loom so I can just plug in to my Coil Pack plug and then run the CoP's in Wasted Spark format just as they are run in the 197/200's But I want to do a proper nice Raychem sub loom now so it matches the rest of my current engine loom. So does anyone...

Could someone tell me the bolt diameter, pitch and length for the two bolts that hold the front damper to the hub. Cheers Rich

I suspect I already know the answer to this but does anyone sell/make a proper blanking plug for the Dephaser Solenoid once you go for non VVT cams? I know you most people just leave them in but I wanted something to look abit neater. Cheers Rich

Does anyone sell a Ph1 GRP Bonnet Skin, something with very little in the way of reinforcing? Cheers Rich

What's the easiest way to fit a Camshaft sensor to a 172 head? It's so I can run CoP's on my new DTA ECU in case you're wondering. Rich

Anyone have a Ph1 wiring diagram? Cheers Rich

I'm after someone/company in the Midlands that can strip back my Ph1 Engine Loom to just what's required to run the dash and integrate it into a DTA S100 Pro Loom, the DTA Loom is beautifully made Raychem item so any modifications that needed doing to that will have to be to the same standard. I...

Can anyone confirm the ID for AST 5100 rear springs? I've measured them at 52mm but been as that's not a standard size I presume they are 2" They are 5" long and a pretty common off the shelf size is 5" free length with a 2" ID. Rich

Just about to change over to EPAS just making sure I'm ordering the right bits, so I need; 1 x DCi Upper Steering column with ECU (Will a 1.2 do too or does it have to be the DCi one) (DCi)...

I know this subject has been covered numinous times on the forum but despite 2 hours of using the search function I haven't been able to answer all my questions to my satisfaction. I want to totally remove the ABS from my Ph1 so firstly; 1. Choice of master cylinder, is it best to go for Cup...

Attemping to build an uber cheap 197 engine into a 172 block, new high comp pistons is not a option in fact no upgrade parts of any description will be added apart from brand new gaskets and the head will be stripped and fitted with new valve stem seals. I understand head skimming is a bit of a...

Can anyone tell me the the banjo bolt thread size for the 197/200 Brembo calipers. I'm guessing it something like M10 x 1.0 but could do with being sure before ordering. Cheers Rich

Anyone got a link to these I bought a set off a member on here and like a dick I've gone and lost them. They weld in place of the existing seat mounting holes meaning that you don't need to be getting under the car to un-bolt your bucketseat subframe each time you want to remove it. I can't even...

Is there any preference to have one over the other? K-Tec: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2655&appid=2 Vibra Technincs: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370926477973?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT There's only £7 difference price wise, so what's peoples opinions...

Does anyone know the actual driveshaft measurements for the Ph1 and the Ph2's? I think at some point my Ph1 has had a Ph2 N/S Driveshaft fitted and now with the new Gripper Diff fitted it's too long. (Just locks the CV's up it's that tight) Could just do with some measurements to confirm...

Having read a few threads on this subject and having a 197 engine to hand it seems like a good idea. From what I've read you just need to tap the 197 head for the water pump idler and it bolts straight on then you fit the 197 pistons, rods and crank into the 172 block and Roberts your Fathers...

Anyone have any opinions on a good launch control system for a 172? I use it on my Cossie as it a built in feature on the EMU ECU as it holds the revs at a given point and retards the ignition and builts up the boost very loud but does the job. I don't really want to go aftermarket ECU on the...

Right then bare with me while I give a quick explanation as why I would want to use a 1400cc bottom end a supercharge it in a 172. I currently run my Ph1 172 in the Midland Hillclimb Championship in Class A1 (Road Going Under 2000cc) Under the regulations you can fit a supercharger or turbo...

I've searched quite a few old threads but with no definitive answer. What's peoples opinions for the best Rear ARB? Whiteline, K-Tec, PMS any others? Cheers Rich

I have a Ph1 with none body coloured moldings and want to to change them for some Ph2 body coloured ones, I take it they are the same fitment? Also same with the door handles? Cheers Rich

A quick introduction for the previous 3 seasons I have competed in the Midland Hillclimb Championship in my 3 Door Sierra Cosworth but due to the engine lunching itself on the rollers 3 weeks before the season opener at Prescott I need an cheapish replacement so I bought a Flame Red 1999 172...

Hi Guys and Gals Just thought I'd introduce myself. I currently race in the Midland Hillclimb Championship and my usual car is 3 Door Sierra Cosworth unfortunatley 3 weeks before the start of the season on the rolling road it span a shell pretty much devasting the bottom end. No time or indeed...
