looking lovely matey

Re: someph-ing different........... sounding good chap, though when i looked at it at combe when i chatted with ya, it looked sweet enough then!

wow alot of different opinions here, iv found i get aongwith the F1s, and pe2s seem to be a good £12 per tyre more as an average than the toyo's and i suppose if Tim puts his 330 bhp's worth of V6 to the ground ok with them then i should give them a go! Seriously appriciate all the advise here...

^^^ so true, anyone? lol

best thing mate is do a for sale thread in the parts section, and list whats broken and whats ok, if your willing to strip etc, should get some interest then :)

yeag but he is cheatin lol ;)

lol id prob guess the number of black ones left are in double figures now

and whats people's opinions on the toyo's guys? im after a progressive tyre, i like that you can feel when they start to let go, and the impressive wet weather grip, would i be right that these are probably about the same as they have similar tread patterns?

according to Reanult heritage there was only 1,357 ph1s reg'd in the uk: 31 Sunflower yellow 99 Iceburg silver 934 titanuim 117 Pearl black 60 flame red 116 Odyssey blue id like to know how many of each are left on the road now

i can fit them at work, i can get the spec 2's delivered for £35 per tyre?

Im after some 195/15v15's as now i cant get F1s any more for anything resembling a decent price, so what else is there? i want to try parada spec 2's but iv heard their not great in wet weather, so only in this size please can i have some recomendations? cheers

well looking at the abuse your's have had over the years there isnt a better advert for how long they last! lol

tbh Jon your not the most gentle driver lol ;) nice one, when i had L765 GYW, he was going to put in a new set of cams for mine, ones he designed himself, but i blew 2nd syncro and had enough of it and sold it to martin lol

weird mate, hard to diag over the net tbh, its definatly a popping noise, not the exhaust sound resonating?

yes i can see your right there ;)

well there was only 1300 odd reg'd so it will only keep getting less lol black ones are best ;)

^^ agreed there, hill power did mine and workmanship was amazing what are you down to now jay 13.9?

i try to stay off the curbs anyway so il make sure i definatly do now lol

with the cable throttle there is no wait for the throttle to open,meaning throttle control is better,something far more usefull on the track than on the road tbf

for example, my car is black, and i never see any other black ph1's around, now when i see a yellow or silver one i think my black one looks boring, but when i see mine being driven i think it looks brilliant, i think its because i only see it sat still lol, anyone else find that? also the...
