How did you get on then mate. all go according to plan? Be nice to see some event pics. Russ

Looking good, have you just painted it in your garage though and not in a booth? Russ

Sure it'll all be fine mate. Thanks for the dash info, never thought about making it 2 pieces, i have a spare dash top for 'neat' and a one i've hacked up already so will do some more experimenting. Russ

Looking really good mate, bet you cant wait to compete in it! I have a question about the dash top too, how did you manage to get it to fit with just the 2 small slots around the cage, looks really neat, i'm struggling with mine, have had to cut the corner right out to get it in around the cage...

Looks really good warren, any better pics of the splitter, i assume its a cup one modified for the ph1 bumper? Russ

Been spending some money lately, more because i cant resist a bargain rather actually needing the bits right now. Bought a set of H&R coilovers off here, not my first choice but for the money they'll be fine to get me up and running, cant justify £1k+ on suspension atm. Note extra set of stiffer...

Looking good Col, be nice to see a few more pics, dont even think i've seen a 200 on the road around here. Russ

Tunst, welcome anytime mate, closer than you think, only at Wigton. Anyway, small update from the last few days, been doing a few bits on the motor while its out. The sump was leaking slightly when i bought it not major but enough to leave a spot when it was parked up. Bought a sump from a...

Been buying a few bits this week. Took advantage of K-Tec's 'Double Discount December' and bought a full set of Vibratechnics mounts along with a Powerflex bush kit for the dogbone mount. Also got a steering wheel boss to go with my new steering wheel which is sat at the post office as we speak...

You have PM Russ

Crag, you'll have to come out one day and have a look. Got the engine pulled out today anyway so means i can get one and tidy that up this week + do the bits on the engine i need to. Need to get an engine stand though make it a bit easier to change the sump, swap to cup alternator setup and...

aye crag its at mine, been getting tenner to do the cage. Engine plans are just 182 manifold, ported inlets, 2.5" system, oe airbox and itg + custom remap. 185bhp would be nice with those bits, trying to get some bits/money together for paul @ rstuning to supercharge it asap. If you're gonna get...

Been doing a little bit more. I dont seem to be making as much progress as i'd like, but its more waiting for other people really! Cage is all done bar a couple of bits, need to fill in a few holes in the bulkhead + bits like the aerial hole and badge holes etc then the shell can go away for...

What sort of compression ratio is it running now paul, somewhere about 9:1? Are the new rods/pistons off the shelf parts or custom again? What aux/charger belt setup are you running now then, still based on the ph1 alternator with tensioner setup or something more like a cup setup? Look forward...

Just looked on RSport, the standard wheels are awful as well, like 18" versions of the 200 cup wheels, all the wheels are 8.25" wide too, interesting! Anyone seen the price as well, £21,995 for the cup or £22,995 for the FF, way too expensive imo. Russ

What are the 18's like that are standard, haven't seen a single pic with them on. Even evo's road test this month had no side on pics of the the car and i think that was on 18's. They've grown on me a bit, the grey one is quite nice. Russ

Bet the scoop on that cup car has been smoothed in with a bit of filler pmsl Russ

Glad its all sorted now and running well. How come you're running less boost than Ben_stevo's ph2, isn't his 0.6 bar? Have you still got plans to build a new engine for high boost? Russ

Thanks guys hopefully will have a few more updates coming in quick sucession as i can start getting on with it. Should of said about the new fuse/relay box that it's to replace both the interior and under bonnet ones so all fuses/relays are together and the wiring all goes to one place with the...

f0xy have a look HERE half way down the page mate. Russ

Been a while since i updated, haven't done a great deal to be honest, too busy at work, been on holiday, working on the house etc etc. Done a few bits in the last couple of weeks so is coming on a bit, hopefully have it all painted inside before xmas and have the outside all prepped for its new...

I'm sure someone will carry on the great work chris has started, i know i would if i hadn't put so much work into my shell already. Hope it all works out best it can Chris. Russ

You my friend are a leg-end, cliosport members come through again! Russ

Hi there, last piece (hopefully) of my wiring jigsaw is to rewire the dash/interior on my ph1 172 but could do with a drawing/pinout diagram from the back of the instrument cluster. The haynes manual only shows the non sport dash so is different. I know the info is hard to come by but i know...

Very nice, some interesting bits in there. Who made your brake lines up btw, was thinking about full braided as its a lot easier than messing about with cooper, flaring all the ends etc. Also what sort of money did the custom rewire set you back, take it you're on omex or similar aswell? Russ

Looking good so far chriss, was going to say about the seam welding, i know my leon is just stitched and not fully welded. Thing is what happens if you start having issues when its back together, gonna be pretty difficult to rectify and be a shame to see the amount of work go into it be wasted...

Nice one chris, just looks like a ph1 172 in the pics with it being in bare metal (silver). Interested to see pics and more detials on the rear stubs, was something i was considering tbh as i know its been done on other cars with a similar setup. Russ

Cool, thought it was due back soon. It'll be all ready for the road just as the roads are covered in snow/salt ice etc! Yeah seat's mine mate, wanna buy it? Looking for a 197 cup car for next year ideally. Russ

Any news/pics on the dipping mate? Coming along a lot faster than mine. Bet you cant wait to start building it all back up! Russ
