What size nut /threads size is the top strut nut for top mounts?

Had a mini meet today, 7 cars in total. Pics courtesy of @cjgower.

Will do next week. Working on cars late at night when tired is not the one!

Any ideas?

New meet on Sunday, details here.

I'm still undecided. Wiring took 5mins to swap over, really not too bad.

New oil, oil filter and fuel filter Old style Renaultsport gel badge on the sides

Fitted Gaz top mounts frommy 182 to my ph1 earlier and something isn't right.. The oe mounts sat flush and with same thread at the top, clearly not the same with the Gaz ones.. They say fine on my 182. Any suggestions before I pull it all apart again? My mate removed oe top mounts from my Ph1...

Added some gel type side stickers, old Renaultsport type Was at my mates garage earlier tonight to have new fuel filter, oil and filter change. Also added a can of BG44K to the fuel tank to clean the fuel system and injectors prior to next weeks rolling road and remap at Engine Dynamics.

I hope so with the current l matte grey sunstrip and dark wind deflectors. Unsure if to refurb the wheels silver or Anthracite Mine Doesn't have the aluminium bonnet sadly. The carbon fibre one is considerably lighter, will check exactly difference soon.

Heatwrapped 182 manifold

Yellow high beam & sidelights fitted

Simply did it to get rid of that drone, I have never been in or owned a car that loud and I've had some stupid ones including a v10 R8 and a straight piped b18c Civic. Way better now!

182 manifold. What a pain to wrap and fit.. But looks good back there where no one can see it.. More grunt low down, possibly less up top and less 5k kick. The 172 manifold was quiter and more rev friendly but I prefer the 182. Remap should make it worth it. Ignore the skanky bulkhead...

Headlights! I like the old skool look so went with yellow tinted fogs, Yellow side lights Yellow full beam. My dipped beam is still a very bright white xenon conversion

Engine - Rs lower inlet Red Magnecor leads Ph1 airbox, ITG filter, 2x 70mm caf 182 exhaust manifold & ktec decat link pipe, both heatwrapped. Pic of this later! Off to Engine Dynamics on Monday for a remap, can't wait.

Interior Has a ph2 dash already which is a nice touch. I then fitted my BMS SHIFTER 1X Cobreau Dfx, gf doesn't like sitting in one passenger side. I hardly have a passenger but hey, gotta keep em happy. I rather matching seats.. Very comfortable, low enough and very supportive. Also fitted...

Exterior - Fabia splitter & tow hook Ph2 rear lights Cup spoiler 20mm spacers front 16mm rear -1.3 degree Camber front Carbon bonnet to be relaquered

Update! Firstly, this car is fun! My last few hot hatches were good little cars with the occasional exciting moment. This has reminded me why I like small cars with a bit of poke and a good chassis. Plan was to keep it fairly o.e but that idea went out the window when good bits came off my...

Correct. Got it here - https://profusionexhausts.com/tubing/tubes/1-5mm/outer-diameter/57mm.html

So I've had my ph1 for about a month now and I'm really enjoying it. I'm not new to Rs ownership, 3 172 Cups, 3 182 and a 200. Can't really compare the 200,that was a fantastic car but the ph1 wins hands down out of the 172/182 for solid feel and fun factor Feels better built, more solid...

Double post

I wanted the stealth look but the noise was unbearable. It directed the noise down at the road and right back up into the car, total nightmare on motorway. This is as subtle as I could get and difference in noise is night & day.

Had my Ktec stealth modified to be recessed, 2.25 inch pipe. No more boomy noise!

Straight pipe on my Ktec stealth with 182 surround. Cup spoiler fitted Cobreau DFX seat fitted

Using an oe 182 surround for now until I have time to fit the PMS carbon jobbie.

I'll get a video and pics fitted tomorrow.

The difference in noise and pitch is great. I was thus close to selling the system.

We have a winner Had a 2.25 inch pipe welded on. It sticks out by less than an inch, sits perfectly in a small recess and has made a MASSIVE difference. No drome, none of that headache inducing resonance, night and day. Bit of rasp around 3k and more after 5, so much quieter inside the car...
