So is the Larkspeed link labelled wrongly do we think?

Just browsing for the Eibach Pro springs. These sort of say they are the same thing, but then say they lower the car by different amounts. Anyone tell me if they ar actually different products, and if so which ones are best. Cheers...

My initial budget is £2k, plus the £1500 to buy. But half of the fun is buying the bits and doing it yourself. I doubt if I made all the alterations I could sell for £3500+ unless someone realised what I'd done and was wanting that exact spec.

Yeah I can see why some might not like it. Especially with the price. The thing for me was I saw a Renault 5 turbo in it and fell in love. As GW was an option I knew that most people would get that, and with the price of PW being what it is, I knew I'd have a rare car. It's 1/30 Back on topic...

Trying not to sound too biased, it looks different most of the time to gw. Where gw is more of a pure white, this has an off white look in poor light. One of the times it looks it's best is when you look back at it in the petrol station under the artificial lighting. Even if it's a bit mucky the...

Think I tripped over the guys guide dog who was telling me it was the dog's danglies ;)

I don't like Strom Grey, think it looks washed out. If Renault would have used Lunar Grey on the other hand...

Bit of a controversial, but the best looking one is the Grey Riader IMO. Though would never want the responsibility with the paint Non-matt paint however, no doubt it's (a biased shout of) Pearl White

I've got a good parts guy already on the inside at Renault, but thanks :)

Cheers :)

Anyone know if I can fit the 172 cup suspension onto a Ph1? I know there's some differences on cup and non cupped 182s and the bolt spacings are different that's all but not sure on the Ph1 Cheers

N0ddie -he beat me to it

In the long run it will be a shared car with a close friend, that's why it's a bit easier to stomach the cost of some parts. But I take your point about suspension, maybe going the cheaper option is best. Looking on K-tec the dampers say 172 cup ONLY, I take it these will be fine with a set of...

Thanks for that :) I'm gonna get the cambelt done for piece of mind by a Renaultsport specialist garage. Whilst it's in I'm gonna ask what the spec is on the components, like the brakes, that I haven't fully explored yet. If they're reasonable (and they feel it at the minute, even jumping out...

And a brucey bonus, didn't realise the Ph1 had a horn on the stalk, means I can change that horrible steering wheel for the Sabelt Renaultsport one

I'll whip them out and take it from there then, cheers:D

Yeah, thought they'd be about a grand. What's on it is ok for now, instead of getting a £300 set up, a couple of months will get me what I want. Cheers

I was just going to go for a similar set up that you mentioned, however, in the long run it will be turned into a track only car (still road legal to get to circuits), and maybe trips to the 'ring,so something I can adjust I would have thought will be best long term. Thoughts appreciated Danny

Also, anyone got any good suggestions for suspension set up? Ideally an adjustable one as it won't be just track work, I have the Yorkshire Dales as my playground too ;) No real restriction on cost, I'd rather save up and get the best, than run some cheap thing that I'll want to replace

Cheers I'll take a look

So is it a case of just taking the fogs out, or do you you need to create a vent/pipe to the brakes? Cheers

Thought about the HC discs and ds2500 pads and lines, it's what was about to go on my Trophy before I decided to sell. Thought I'd seen somewhere about taking out the foglights and creating a brake cooling system? Or am I just making that up? R888's are retailing at about the £115 mark, again...

Just picked up, it's got Hankook Ventus Prime tyres on. Anyone know if these are any good. Felt reasonable, but hard to tell in the wet and jumping out of a 200 into it Cheers

Hi Folks Just bought a Ph1 172 to use as a bit of a track toy. It will still be used as a bit of a daily car though, so not gonna totally strip it out. Was wondering if anyone could give me some advice RE best tyres, brakes/brake set up Already thinking gonna change the seats, probably for...

Just picked up on the vid, not great you say? I think it's decent, how good would your good or amazing be

Cool, post a link up when it's uploaded :)

Yeah right at the bottom, white 200 with a red 197 in front.

I was there, parked down the road from you Feirny by the looks of your Trophy, by the entrance to the truck company

54 plate and noticed a cliosport sticker on way out

Sunday morning. Probably doing the same thing as me, letting the little one run about while I have a coffee, bite to eat, and a catch up on the news etc
