tel me about it. someone scraped my rear bumper the other night down to the plastic.

my thoughts entitrly, I just would prefere not to spend £££ on new gear if late spec 1*2 gear is the same and cheaper second hand, that was my reasoning, adj dampers were and idea as I had them on my mk1 and I couldnt fault them.

only reason for using FF172 items are that they are newer and would be cheaper than brand new ones.

Knowing my suspesion is getting a little sloppy and just passed 70k I had alrady bought myself a new set of top mounts as the ones on at the moment sound like they have become dust. but before fitting the new ones Im contemplating getting new suspension. First port of call would be second...

were 16" an option extra on the ph1?

save your money, standard set up is more than enough for road use and not to sloppy on track either.

interesting read, but ^^^^ ;)

wonder what caused that? OMG

around £300 from a reasonable bodyshop.

yep loads better than standard. couldnt recomend them more. Nah no chance of lowering it. handles perfectly as it is, its balanced and predictable, had a lowered/ stiffer car before, wasnt as much fun to drive as this.

A GDI package, hoses, HC disks and greenstuff.

standard, but it does have a decat and some upgraded brakes.

Following a 4x4 the other day up a hill and it was kicking out so much s**t, I hung back a bit till i could overtake and though nothing of it.... but got home to find my front end and mirrors splatered with oil. And after a clean..... had to take a few pics, TITANIUM SILVER is the...

its got it all now. ;)

wow, lets stop with the insults, my comment didnt help, sorry. yep B1176 is an awsome road, its a known bikers road too. loads of people have had accidents on it through out the years and a few people have died, its not a forgiving road as the majority of it is lined with trees and ditches...

yes, aslong as you get the ECU, which he mite not sell.

lol, have a carful look at the video, does it seem a bit odd.

my bad, wobbly was the wrong word, steering rack/wheel had play in it.

my old mk1 ph3 back in the day

ummm, comming from someone who bought a maxogen and some 4 pots!? ;)

must have passd you (about 12) on my way home. saw it last nite too, going down Grantly street, just happened to be loooking out my Misses flat window waiting for a mate.

yes. loom is the only major part you will need, in an RSi its basicly plug and play.

have you seen that Blue cup, gunmetal turinis and a YS style exhaust? havnt seen your car yet.

i remember you showing me how wobbly it was and how the buttons didnt work.

stealth, ph1 doest have the ass to pull off an exhaust imo

reading that first post I thought that steering rack we fitted had come lose or something!! B1176? ;)
