looks good mate. same colour as mine. going to start my own thread with what iv done to mine. deffo go for the whiteline arb. got one for mine, great mod.
anyone heading up to this? track day and also the ford rs owners club in attendance, always nice to see some nice rs and cossies. ill be going up sunday morning hopefully the weather will be decent.
just do it yourself mate. did mine today on my ph1, 800 and 1200 wet and dry from halfords, bit of elbow grease, then machine polished using megs scratch x . came up a treat.
redline!? no thanks, stopped buying that s**t along with max power etc about 15 years ago. would much rather read about it on a thread on here than troll through the s**t in these mags.
just goes to show that all the scare mongering about cambelts is just fishwives tales. sure some can go but that the luck of the draw. belts can last for years!!!
after my coolent leak and dropping the car off today at rentac automotive they have confirmed it needs a new rad. quoted £212 fitted. part is £115 plus vat, and couple of hours labour. its about £20 more for a genuine renault one. should i bother? car is ph1 172. price seem about right??
i have a stainless system i took off my ph1 172 in my garage, its a stealth system, pretty quiet, no idea what make it is was on the car when i got it, replaced with a ktec supersport. would sell it for say £100 posted.

noticed at lunch today just as i was getting back to work the temp gauge slowly creeping up above half way, nothing serious it was a hot day, parked car and cooling fan was on. went to work. then on short drive home just as was near house same thing happened again, so i parked up, switched...
for the money a ph1 172 is hard to beat imo. williams for 1600 ish is going to be pretty rotten, and they arent as quick out the box either, iv had a williams and now have a ph1 172. dont get me wrong i loved my williams but you need to buy a good one and they cost £££££ where as a ph1 can...
no problem mate. iv got a ph1 as well, i put a k&n in my airbox, but im tempted with a second hand maxogen for the noise. hopefully soon. i have ktec supersport stealth exhaust, new cup shocks and eibach sportlines, matched inlets. would like to get a rs tuner or take a trip to leeds to...
judging by the lack of responses im guessing no. people are struggling to insure crappy cars for thousands of pounds, so coming on here bragging about driving daddys x5 at 17 isnt going to get much response apart from the obvious. now please f*ck off
I also point you in the direction of Freds comments about the mount being too stiff.
what is it with this place and fred being god? just because your too tight to buy one why piss on other peoples parade?
