They are my first set of after market suspension, but my brother and step dad who have had more experience with car parts said they looked the part and good quality and were impressed with them. My brother was quite jealous of them tbh. Not sure in the spring rates. I do have a track set up...

Look at my progress thread. I've currently got BC coilovers on mine. Mine can also go lower.

If it was sub £1.5k I would take a punt at it and restore it as it would be worth it then. I doubt it would pass an MoT test with that hole in the sill.

If this is the one I think it is I am very jealous! I saw it at Castle Combe in April at the Forge Action Day, and wasn't it for sale a while ago and I don't think it sold.

Who has seen this?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391824112555 Are people mad or is that is what it is worth with all of that rot? Currently at £2k. Worst bit about the ad "would make an ideal track car". Noooooo!! Do not sacrifice this!

Another Ph1 thread I didn't want to read....puts mine to shame!

Better interior colour. Same as the inside colour of mine.

No one liked my bright orange wheels. I didn't care. Good to be different.

Looks good what you have done so far. Makes me a little jealous as my Ph1 is abused on the track, although it is well looked after. I am on the lookout for another for a daily drive. As everyone has said, the small issues are a pain but keep at it as it will be so worth it.

Yep. I failed at this too the other week as I put a new horn on and to test it I didn't put it on the car and it didn't work. Was just about to take the steering wheel off to see if it was a switch issue on the horn button. Felt like a right mug when I realised that there was no earth.

Renault Sport on. The Clio is fine on or off imo

So who bought that blue Ph1 from the sale section?

Haha. I've messaged them but no reply yet. I probably shouldn't as I've literally just got my daily drive working.

Sod off I am looking at it!!!! Well I need to arrange it but I will be

Jesus...that is only down the road from me. This may have to be looked at.

It could be worse, it could be an Exclusive interior :mask: although there is one in Autotrader (for £8k iirc, yes that's £8k for a low mileage standard Clio) and the interior doesn't look too gash. Must be the photos. The Odessey one that needs a lot of work I looked at in december has now...

Now that my vRS is sorted (just need to pick it up from the garage) I need to get a few things done to it to make it stand out when I sell it. So I am now on a look out for a non-silver Ph1. If anyone wants to swap a Mk1 Octavia vRS for one then let me know. Yes it is a disease owning own.

The black spoiler actually works quite well on this. Sure it will also look good on an Odessey blue one too.

Knew there was a technical name for it!

I am going to relocate my electric window switches to where the stereo used to be as I don't want to put holes in my new door cards. The standard switch is a bit to big and ideally want something a bit more "race" like - just a little toggle switch. Being an absolute noob with electrics what...

What I quite like are the plain metal ones my dad has on his car - like a plastic plate with no border or GB logo but metal. They aren't pressed. You can also get them with the letters like stuck on so are slightly raised, but not in the pressed format. Tiny manufacturer post code and BS number...

Yes. Just like that

Pre cat lambda? Mine would hesitate a little when it was on the way out under acceleration. The dephaser kicks in about 5k rpm but not sure how to check it

When I went to buy a throttle body gasket the guy in the parts department quoted me £300 as he thought I wanted a new throttle body so from that I think they are still available. Also I think the only genuine fix for this is to fit ITBs......

Is happening, when I get my Skoda vRS sorted I am on the look out for another Ph1 to use as a daily car.

I don't on me...but there might be one in my project thread. But the way I have laid my cables and wires is so I can put it all back to standard if I need to. I'll message my dad to get one as it is at his and I am not

Do you want some cable tidy stuff to put your interior loom in? I bought too much when doing mine and it's just sitting at home doing nothing. There should be plenty to do what I've done again. It's black ribbed tube with a slit down to put wires/cables through. I've got a length down each side...

I've booked it into the local VAG specialist as I am at my wits end with it. Hoping their just hear it and know exactly what it is. It's got a new alternator so presume it isn't that. Also the turbo is off the original engine as I knew it was good. Both cars were not making this noise before...

I am hoping it is exhaust gasket, going to check after work later. When in the car it sounds like it is from behind the steering wheel area, that's why it think it is down by the aux belt and thought possible air con. This is where the intercooler and some turbo pipe work is. Tried to check it...
