had a 2.0 16v in it when I finished, and was about £6000 cheaper than a Rallye.

My old car, And on the track at Brands,

As for people slating the euro look go and look at some of the VW scene cars, Euro is massive there and no two cars look the same. Also for Stance, there is proper stance and then people who bounce the word around and know nothing about it, I'll post some pics up of my old ride later and get all...

I like rat look on the old VW campers and beetles, forced rat look on new cars is just someone ruininbg paintwork and the look of a car for no reason. Genuine rat look came from cars as thats literally how they looked, albeit the look was aided a bit but slammed campers on nice rims with faded...

My ph1 if I'm lucky does 200 miles to a tank, its not my main car so mpg is irrelevant. I have done 4 trips in it in the last 3 weeks of about 40 miles each and its virtually empty. Not exactly built for economy (nor is my right foot).

Epic build and epic read its taken me three and a half days to get through this. FFS don't be giving up or you owe me three days of my life back. I have to say the build is quality and very inspirational to say the least. There is so much stuff I'd love to do to my PH1 but I haven't got time...

I was in my Ph1 and just overtook you as you started the descent down the big 360 degree bend. Would have tooted if I had seen you sooner.

Was definatly a red 182/Trophy at about 6pm.

I had my front fogs on the other day by mistake, went to turn them off and turned all my lights off. Wouldn't have been too bad if it hadn't beeen torrential rain, the guy behind near sh*t himself.

I passed you when you were stuck in traffic by the Jag dealer and then you caught up and turned left towards Asda Fosse Park.

TBH I'd push to get your eye test asap. I'd also avoid doing any unneccesary night driving until then. I have blue eyes but I have driven at night for years so it doesn't really bother me. Cars that glare me get flashed, if they still glare me they get the front fogs high beam treatment. If you...

Your just round the corner from my house, seen the car there a few times.

HAHA cost me alot less getting to 170bhp than the MKII did. Not quite as planted on the track as the Golf but some decent coilovers and an arb and she'll be alright.

Re: Anyone had issues with uprated brake fluid? For the track day and fast road users 4. or http://www.funkypower.co.uk/catalogu...d_product=5796 it is then. Thanks for the help gents.

Alright Carl, Ironic we were both stood at a VW show discussing 172's and now we both own one.

I was out in mine that day but its a PH1 172 not 182.

Re: Anyone had issues with uprated brake fluid? For the track day and fast road users Thanks Tony, what would you recommend for track day use?

Excellent, pics up when you get them fitted.

TB H I'd buy them regardless. I dare say they are off a limited edition car and are factory fitted to something so not very common. Have seen several other sets in silver of these all with the center caps but no details of what name wheel they are.

Re: Anyone had issues with uprated brake fluid? For the track day and fast road users Was morew a question if anyone has has any issues with the uprated fluid corroding anything. I'm assuming not but wanted to be sure.

They look like these http://is00.thegumtree.com/image/big/98706280.jpg

super turismo spokes go right to the rim edge now, might be an older version but I have never seen a set with centre caps. They look like they are off a Suzuki Ignis.

Hi Guys and girls, I am currently uprating the braking system on my ph1 and have bought new front and rear discs and pads, sourcing braided hoses and uprated brake fluid. I had an aquaintance say to me that he used uprated brake fluid 5.1 in his car and it ruined the seals on the calipers and...

Epic thread and making me want to spend money......I'd better unsubscribe to it ;)

If your not rubbing your not low enough ;)

Allan nice looking car, can I just warn you having run a set of Borbet A 9's on my last car with the polished dishes you will find they pick up stones that then ride the dish like a hamster in a wheel and can and will scratch your dish. I ended up painting my wheels as I was fed up with...

Juwa the brake combo most people run with are standard rears and HC Brembo front discs and DS2500/DS3000 pads.

MKIV Golf GTTDI 150, adda remap and see close to 190 bhp. Can be picked up quite cheap, lots of spec and they go like stink. Oh and its a VW.
