Scott's Super Clean PH1 172 Project Thread

[MJClio]

Honestly, WOW, just bought my own ph1 and the inspiration i've got from reading this is amazing. Such a good looking and clean car mate!

 

[AndyStew]

Shocked I'm saying this but I don't like the wheel at all! Not enough leather for me...

I thought this too, although I still do like the wheel. I think it would look better however if the leather and alcantara was reversed.

Cracking car though, a real credit to you.

 

[yeecup]

Im sure the very early ph1 172 had alcantara steering wheels. Guy at my old work had one from new when they came out and I'm sure his wheel was alcantara

 

[Mr R.]

That looks very fitting! Nice touch

The ph1 dash still makes me feel uneasy lol

It is what it is mate, i can live with it. :blush:

Hahaha, I've got to laugh with how insanely nice it is.

That wheel is a work of art, really good match.

Cheers mate. :smiley:

LOVE.

Haha, thanks bud.

Wheel looks superb.

Thanks very much Jamie.

Thank you for the comments. Yes that would have looked good but not to sure if a PH1 rear seat has enough leather. :smile:

The press release car had a alcantara wheel and as i like things to be kept OEM it fitted the bill for me.

 

[Mr R.]

Today i removed the throttle pedal, gave it a going over with some 2500 and then polished it up.
I also gave the clutch pedal 2 coats of satin black, i wasn't able to fit the alloy cover as the rain came down. :unamused:

Just gets better and better.

 

[BREMBO]

Looking brilliant. I really need to do this to my steering wheel!

Any material left?

 

[Martin.]

You still amaze me! Perfection!!

 

[cat171]

The re trimmed wheel look great, I'm looking forward to seeing the car again!

 

[TimR26]

I've just caught caught up with the last few months of this thread, amazing work as ever Scott :grinning:

 

[Christopher.]

Scott are your nuts and bolts just anodized or nickel plated or some other type of plating ?

 

[Mr R.]

Just gets better and better.

Hey mate, long time. Hope your well?

Thank you Ben, i don't think so i just gave it all to Snappy to work he's magic.

You still amaze me! Perfection!!

Cheers fella. Great to see that ED have sorted yours out. :smile:

Cad plated i think Chris.

 

[Mr R.]

Oh i forgot to say, thanks to @ben_r1 as it was hes old PH1 rear seat that my steering wheel cover came from (he sold the car to someone else on here) So a bit of your car now lives in mine. 😂😂

 

[Christopher.]

Cheers mate.

Jack Woodc*ck. I have he's front door trims for mine. Although they have been sitting in Emily's boot for 2+ weeks!

 

[AlexW]

And I'll have his car this week lol.

 

[..Jack..]

What a brilliant car mate, good read tbh

 

[Mr R.]

And I'll have his car this week lol.

You own it mate? [emoji6]

What a brilliant car mate, good read tbh

Thanks Jack. [emoji1]

 

[ALD]

Hey mate, long time. Hope your well?

Busy busy busy... You know me lol.. Just need to make some time for myself and get some work done on my own car

 

[Mr R.]

Right guys, im sorry to say but the Clio will be going up for sale in the next month or so.

Ive been toying for quite sometime about buying something bigger with boost so i have now bit the bullet and made my mind up. 😧

 

[Adam93]

Gutted you're selling Scott; i think its far too nice to let go IMO. Still, at least you've probably got the best PH1 in the world

 

[Scrooge]

Oh no

 

[AlexW]

Sadtimes, but I think we all knew it'd happen eventually. I dont think you'll even have to put it up for sale tbh, somebody who has followed this thread and has a interest should be all over it, its certainly a good one.

 

[Mr R.]

Cheers guys, i just hope it goes to a good home.

Ive PM'd someone who showed an interest in the car so we will see, everyone wants it but no ones willing to pay. 😂
Also if anyone who is interested in the car has a mint Meg F1 in Red or White then id be interested in doing a deal. (im not 100% sure i want a Meg)

Please don't buy a Megane mate, please! I just can't describe how badly it's not the next car you should own.

For me they're just too expensive for what they are (with regards parts etc).

I think you're mental selling mate, but genuinely PM me with what you're looking for price wise... If there was ever one to tempt me back...

 

[Dan]

Fooooooooo!!!!!! Don't sell this, you will never find anything like it ever again!

That's 2 cars that are amazing up for sale now!

The grey mk1 with throttle bodies came for sale over the weekend too!

 

[SharkyUK]

This makes me incredibly sad

 

[Stefan.]

Shame to hear

It must go to a good home

I feel though scott has taken it to a stage that unless he turbos/superchargers it he hasnt go much, if anything to 'tinker' with

Brakes are about it of the top of my head

Someone will get prpb the best ph1 out there, i know if i had the money spare (and i know how much) id have it

Good luck with the sale and your next project

 

[Christopher.]

Thats a proper shame Scot, Hopefully someone on the forum grabs it up.

 

[Cub.]

This makes me sad bear

But, I can't fault your reasons bud. Space is a premium in these sadly, and leaving the family at home isn't an option!

 

[V6Dan]

Good luck with the sale mate. Pretty sure this will sell itself sooner rather than later. The attention to detail making sure everything is perfect is second to none.
Look forward to another project thread and being able to read it from the beginning.

 

[dmallett]

Shame your selling! But it was going to come sooner or later, i mean theres only so much you can do!

I look forward to the next project!

 

[DannyR]

Could you PM me a price please [emoji4]

 

[Mr R.]

Could you PM me a price please [emoji4]

Hey Danny, i know that you have always been interested in the car mate.
I did see how much you was willing to pay, but im after more so i didn't think it was worth bothering you?

By all means ill fire you over a pm mate.

 

[Mr R.]

The folder of receipts, everything's in date order. 😂

[Ph1 Tom]

No!

 

[Mr R.]

Its what to buy next that's the problem.

 

[Jekyll]

Bigger and better things Scott.

Tbh I'm perfect, pointless spending more money on it. Save it for the next car.

As you know i was in the process of buying 4 pots but as Hi-spec have taken so long, which in a funny way is a good thing now.

Ive been wanting something with boost for a while, so as the car won CSS and is perfect now i thought it might be a good time to sell it.
The list of "what will replace it" is.

Classic scooby, STI RA.
Classic scooby Type R, but im not sure if i want an old car.
Scoob bug eye STI JDM.
Meg F1 in UR or White.
Golf GTI ED30 don't think ill find one in my budget.
Seat Leon Cupra R 225, i found a lovely low miles red one.

I want something that i can clean, powder coat bits and mod but also that i can take my family out in.

Anything else i should be looking at???

 

[Jekyll]

I meant to put *its, not I'm.

Are you going to advertise it on other sites too?

What's your budget for the new car? Including the sale of this one?
