Ok, thought it was about time that I added some information to the project section as to my recent start of a 172 conversion into the my little R5 the only reason for the conversion is I felt I ha got as much out of my C1J as possible and fancied a change so i have gone for a newer bigger engine with the intention to eventually turbo it.
Some pics in here https://www.rtoc.org/files/?path=Technical%20Files/James5%20-%20172%20Conversion/ will add more as i progress. I plan to be up and running fully by January 2009 to attend a www.cliosport.net R&R day @ chobham
Many thanks to Scoff & Ashy for the all advice.
