Not so much to keep the weight down... but if i could only have 2 external mods it would be coillys & the Cupra splitter!
Before :
After :
Not every ones cuppa but i think they Finnish the PH1 front end off & add a nice evil look & at only £21.40 inc vat...
Yea baby! 4 people & all the luggage, will really test how good the Clio's are lol
Will find out what route we're taking mate & if its not to out of the way you'll have to show me some french driving roads! Could bring the RS-tunner with me :cool:
Another project begins MoRpH3uS mate, handy that i dont use this daily so the batterey will be shifted to where ever theres space lol
Engine will be similiar spec to the PH2 - De-cat, re-map, matched inlets etc :cool:
MoRpH3uS, where abouts in france are you? i'm heading to the alps at...
no no no... cage weighs to much :o
My argument against the cage is that the road going frame is in theory strong enough for road use/crash when it was the weight of a tank.. now that its gonna be 100+kgs lighter, hopefully, therefore if it was to roll there would be less weight on the pillars...
Yep you'll get the SERV & AIRBAG light come on :dead:... annoying at first but i've just got used to it after failing with the bloody resistor trick.. You should just be able to plug your seats back in mate a walla ;)
And yes i know the PH2 looked sweeeet on coillys but apex springs will do ;)
I know mate, just kept thinking how gutted i would be if i pulled the ph2 apart on the track :cry:
Ohhhhh this is gonna get some abuse on the track lol, will be serviced to my standards so hopefully will hold together lol
Think its just gonna be for the track & sunday braknell cruise :evil:
Thanks for the input guys, sounds like it will need re-colouring as there are, what looks like cracks where you can see the colour has gone from the blue to white, will check & get pics tomorrow ;)
Touch off subject, whats the best way to remove the actual covers?
Thanks,
James

Big change of plans since having some one smash into my 172 -
:dead::dead::dead:
Luckily he has admitted it all & its all getting sorted, but something crossed my mind that i never really took into account... what would happen if i wrote this off on the track...
I know :o.... Still got the Lardy Ph2, gonna be taking the coillys off it & just throwing some apex springs on it, will be the daily"ish" driver & the PH1 will just be my real full size go-kart :cool:
You got any more of your Gray-motorsport de-cats left mate?
Big relief mate, should be...
Its usally the jump from a 1.2 - 2.0.... when i first got mine i was foot down every where, you only learn from your mistakes.. this being an expensive one though lol, hopefully the guys alrite
LOL, she was not a happy bunny when i was thinking about it, then when she saw me & ivan going mental stripping it down on the weekend she was far from impressed, think she's gonna get a PH2 now any hows so its all good ;)
Well as a few know i bought my PH2 172 back in may, the plan was to semi strip it to make it a touch faster than standard, the end result was 184bhp & no seats - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=340164, Goes bloody well & first hand i got a feel for how effective power - weight...
De-cat was one of my fav mods, on the 182's there a piss of piss to fit ;)... 172's on the other hand are a nightmare, specially if your doing it with out a ramp :dapprove:
I found the decat really changes the way the car feels, the extra torque is very handy for below 5k & the rasp noise...
Or maybe something like this - http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Britemax_LEATHER_MAX_1.html
Gotta put in an order at I4detailing soon, products are running low
Hi guys, name the best products for value for money that will restore PH1 172 leather seats, The ones in my PH1's could do with some love & just wondered what you guys use? seen this stuff on the bay -...
Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread
Still going very well mate ;)
Have now bought a PH1 too, gonna turn the PH2 back to standard & strip the PH1 hopefully to the same level as yours, had a brain storm yesterday for a very smart induction sytem too!
You mind if i drop you some Pm's if...
Hmmm... may get the stealth for it then, got a powerflow on my PH2, very happy with that but now i'm turning my PH1 into a track toy & converting the Ph2 back to standard.... "ish" lol
Cheers for the pics guys ;)
As title pls guys :)
Trying to decide on some thing for my track toy, really cant justify £400+ for the yozza.. what other good/cheap exhausts are there? heard about an OMP one but cant find any thing :S
Re: throttle body cleaned out but made problem worse?
Havent been playing with inlet manifold/acoustic valve?
Any of those can lead back to air leaks resulting in higher than normal idle
