Who has a ph1 Flame red 172?

[Djw John]

Blatently stolen from the exclusive and monaco owners ideas but passed off as my own

Just interested in how many are left, Renault say 60 were sold back in the day and there seems to be more on here than ever before so lets see how many there are.

I'll start with the ones I know of

1. Djw John
2. yeecup
3. dmallet
4. frenchthing
5. Johnathan
6. Roland Rat


Just add your name in if you do and feel free to chuck a pic up too.

Cheers
John

[Djw John]

I knew there was someone in NI!

I also knew I'd get your name wrong, cba checking though!!

 

[roland rat]

Here's the pic of mine but sadly i think we may lose another as price for replacement parts is stupid! cant believe how much ali bonnets and Oz F1's go for so it maybe a breaker

 

[welshname]

I really like the flamers. Only ph1's though, would bloody love to have one

rofl

 

[105e]

I think i have one, something i have with the paperwork says its actually burnt orange, is that right?

 

[Djw John]

Roland, just get a normal bonnet and be patient with the wheels. And yeah it will be flame red mate, the only orange was inferno and that only came on 182s

 

[dmallett]

Roland, i want an Ali bonnet, if i find one ill get it resprayed and you can have mine, resprayed about 3months ago so fairly mint. Just needa Ali bonnet lol.

As for f1's the prices people want are pretty stupid sometimes.

 

[yeecup]

[Djw John]

Just a bit! Old pic though? Same exhaust as when you bought it? That must be about a year now yeah?

I know this one was on the forum a few owners ago.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

I have just bought a W plate phase 1 in Flame Red, first 172 I ever drove back in 2001 was a flame red 172 and I saw this one and had to have it. Sorry no pictures yet.

Recent pic.

Mr Dmallet do tell me how much lower is that car from standard and what are those wheels???

 

[dmallett]

The wheels are clio williams wheels (speedlines) powder coated white.

The car is stripped, but lowered a fair bit, i couldn't tell you exactly as im on the coilovers. But its lower than 40mm apex springs where. At a guess 60+mm.

Roland im picking up a Ali bonnet in abit, make me an offer on my bonnet if you want it

Where in the Uk are you?

 

[dmallett]

See the other page, replied when you did. So no longer have a bonnet going

 

[frenchthing]

 

[Stefan.]

first 2 pictures on this thread are stunning

 

[yeecup]

Just a bit! Old pic though? Same exhaust as when you bought it? That must be about a year now yeah?

yeah old pic. just put that exhaust back on as the ktec stealth supersport was doing my head in sooo loud and drony. yeah will of had it a year in 2 weeks time. got hold of an alloy bonnet for it which is mint just needs painting and getting some pure motorsport solid top mounts as they are knocking a bit and annoying me. been a great wee car.

 

[Djw John]

Cool, aye the super sport must be silly loud. Really fancy the pure kit as well, timing belt needs done more urgently though

 

[yeecup]

yeah so does mine, checked the paperwork and it was done in 2007 at around 75k its now on 108k but time wise its over 4 years, thinking of using swr in stirling they quote £380 for both belts etc. fitted.

 

[Djw John]

Oh did they? Cool that's who I was thinking of too. Btm are just slightly too far away

 

[yeecup]

yeah was thinking birchdown or rs tuning in leeds but cant be bothered with the trek. might hold off till later next year, probably have sold it by then getting the itch for something else again.

Phase 1's are pretty rare here in Oz. Only 85 made it here in mid 2001 & they were sold as a limited edition. A small handful came in Flame Red. I'm lucky enough to have two Ph1's and one of them (track specced) is a Flamer.

Indeed, yeecups became djw daves but is now being reincarnated and will hopefully be done this year

 

[arg_carra]

Can add me to that list too

 

[dmallett]

Too little too late as i have another car now

If he still has it £1300 is what i paid for my flamer, the potential is unreal.

Also take me off that list, as mine is dead.

 

[MG cup]

Anyone selling a nice one?
