I wanted a valver on white willies wheels years ago and it looks mint. Far too good for just a run around!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
have you been running it low mate ?
when i first bought it, it wasnt very accurate, however i always run on 1/2 full or more, and over the next few weeks it sorted itself out
as i mentioned when you bought it, once you get down to 1/3 or less its not very accurate, fill it up and keep it filled and it will be fine, unless you mean its not working at all ?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
Foxy I only sugested the fuel pump on your hybrid twice because on my r5 tub I had similar cutting out and jumping rev needle problem drove me mental for weeks infact. I checked everything electrical swaped the ecu, dizzy cap/rotor arm, plugs, leads checked crank sensor/wire all wiring numerous times initially when i suggested that it could be the fuel pump to a friend it was dissmissed as symptoms pointed to an electrical fault . In the I end I took my 5 to gt tunning and within 2 of minutes driving my car the owner Roland garnier said ''its your fuel pump its knackered'', apperently when pipe is disconnected from the pump to tank turn the car over petrol should fire a very long distance for pressure to be good across the work shop for instance mine just dribbled out the end of pipe no good pump.

Day 127
Not got much done over the past week, as the weather has been bad and I've had tons of other stuff to do. The blue valver now has my black Williams wheels on it, and the hybrid has two steels and two axle stands.
The white williams wheels have now been sold, along with the Williams ECU and wrapped manifold from the hybrid. Just on the hunt for two more 15" steels for the hybrid, so I can tow it around if needs be. The hybrids engine is also on eBay.
Ive ripped all of the wiring and heater matrix out of the hybrid, ready to start making a new cut down interior loom. The heater matrix is staying out, and the hole that goes through to the blower unit is getting blocked off. Going to get the seats out and top dash in the next few days, and try to get it 100% bare inside so I can figure out seat mounting options. Cage will be en-route soon also, full weld in style; the interior will be remaining empty until this is in, and the interior has been painted.
Was going to try and get quite a bit done today, but the weather has been on and off as usual, getting bored of working on it outside. Still hunting for a unit locally to put the hybrid in to work on...
Ive also spent a good few nights tracing the wiring for the 172 conversion, big thanks to Matteh for the info via PM. The wiring he did was for his Ph1 valver, mines a Ph2 with slightly different wiring, so I used his notes and traced mine out. Im retaining the valver interior loom (Custom cut down, to be made) and the 172 loom will just be converted to 'plug and play' to the two connectors in the engine bay...easy
Still hunting for a 172 Ph1 engine though, but im in no rush for that yet really :boring:

You REALLY dont want be have no heater dude. The windscreen gets so much condensation, you wont be able to see anything once you're inside for a while, your breath will mist the windows.
