Re: Ph1 172 Dropped it off at a friend's garage to fit the cup subframe and 7.5mm rear spacers to replace the 10mm -1mm camber spacers. I'd have done it but...I cba :P I need to order some aerocatches for the front bumper this weekend and I'm having the group buy door cards off @Kelv on Friday.

I've known people to run track tyres front and rear with 205 on the front and 195 on the rear.

Re: Ph1 172 Yeah they were fitted when the cams went in :)

Re: Ph1 172 Nice and responsive, pulled well from low down. Now I've got the filter setup all sorted the idle is solid around 900rpm. Just need to tweak the cold start so I don't have to hold it on the throttle for a few seconds to get it idling. Can't wait to have it all finished and abuse...

Re: Ph1 172 Cheers Scott :) I took it for a quick drive, gave it a wash and put it to bed for a while with the trickle charger and car cover on.

Re: Ph1 172 Last bit I needed to do in the bay was the bulkhead heat protection.

Nice work so far :)

It's like bergrennen x 10

If I didn't do 700+ miles a week I'd have one of these as a daily but I'd keep the ph1 for track. It would have to have the cup chassis though, the one I drove felt great! But I think I'd prefer the 17s to 18s. They do look good in white, it suits it more than the other colors I think.

Re: Ph1 172 Mine is only 35 degrees against 90 in that article, and it didn't have much effect. I ran one on my old car, it went from 190 down to 167! That was a pipercross one with 100mm entry

Re: Ph1 172 Based on this... http://www.emeraldm3d.com/articles/dec2012/ it shouldn't be an issue, especially as I've done the clamps as tight as possible to squash the silicon over the lip. The extra 70mm length should more than make up for anything.

Re: Ph1 172 Both the flanges and hose are 45mm ID, with the clamps on there's no step.

Nice! Looking to see how you get on with this.

Should go well :) wouldn't bother with a paddle clutch unless you want boost in the long run. Standard one is fine even with low boost.

It was going well till that happened... easy fix?

I didn't realise they weighed roughly the same as a Ph1 Clio...got me thinking as I've always quite liked them!

Re: Ph1 172 There isn't step. It's a 48mm OD and 45mm ID flange with a 45mm ID hose, its clamped on the ends of the flange so it pushes the hose flush with the flange :) That was a thought of mine for a later date now I'm happy with how it site, but only to tidy it up and not to smooth out...

Re: Ph1 172 Trimmed all the hoses to suit and got it all fitted up this evening. Total inlet length from the valve head to end of the trumpet is 380mm :) I'm running equivalent to 130mm trumpets now with the 180mm DTH bodies. Had to trim the inside of the bonnet slightly. I've got the all...

Re: Ph1 172 My friend had a present for me today! Different thickness rear spacers to try out to see what's best with no added camber as I've got 1.8 degrees each side with the standard beam. Aaaand Some flange! So should get everything in place this weekend :)

Looks like it was parked up after. Didn't you get any side on shots?

Yes they will. All 172 (including ph1 and cup) and normal 182 are 54mm. Only the 182 Cup and Trophy are 60mm.

It'll be minty fresh :cool: and quick!

They do. And they're the same! ;) who'd have thunk it...

The ph1 is 1059kg, ph2 is 1100 or thereabouts and the cup is 1020. But my ph1 is lighter than a cup ;) Yes you can swap bits over. I'm in the process of doing the engine subframe which gives 10mm extra track width either side. I've already got a shorter cup final drive in the gearbox which...

Re: Ph1 172 Mapping booked for March 17th :) It'll give me a chance to get a some other bits done before then so mapping will be the last bit before the summer.

Ph1 shell with cup bits :)

I paid about £1000 all in for belts, dephaser, Piper cams and a remap at RS tuning in Leeds

Why's that? I thought it was good. Very quick changes, didn't unsettle the car at all, multiple downshifts worked well and it blips the throttle for you. Very easy to drive fast.
