One thing, is there a reason you are only looking for black wings? I thought you could get stuff painted for a reasonable fee? Should ask steve/joshydee for any colour ph1 wings!
If you have trouble with the wings, sod the rep and just colour code the whole thing, will look lovely lowered, full...
Good to see a project up, if you are going to make a rep I think you need skirts too??
Keep up the good work, once you've had the few bits painted that need doing, give it a damn good wash, polish, wax, then get it out in some nice bright sunlight and take some good pics. :)
Re: Project Ph1 OneSevenTwo
Fogs have cold air feeds in them atm....
I intend to go for the JMS induction set up though, and aparently they are not necessary with it?
I am tempted to go all out and get the £500 JMS setup, any opinions??
Didn't notice this thread, I think it misses you, developing two problems in 24 hours just to spite me, got 40mpg average today though :D :D :D
Thanks a lot Dan.
I thank ye captain useful :)
I hope it doesnt need a new throttle body.... I'll give it a go cleaning it with Mike, and see what the results are, I can't say I know much about it yet tbh.
Anyone know the price on a new one? (Throttle body that is)
Ok, so its another silver ph1 I'm afraid... but I love it, a lot!
Picked this up from Daniel in Bristol on Saturday, only have two pictures of it atm, both taken on iPhone so excuse the quality.
Lots of plans for this car.... All suggestions of where to go with it and comments on it are...
Sorry to spam your lovely thread, but do they do it in a variety of colours? I have the ph2 interior (special ;))
Oh and, does your car get looks of everyone on the road with the red wheels? Mine is seeming to attract enough attention with just the green lip!
Cheers mate, what would you do out of curiosity???
I can't believe how mint it is tbh, got a few bits coming to further tidy it, but I love it!
Yeah took my time doing it but its mine now! Manc? Bit far for me! (and they speak even funnier than Dan) ;)
Tell me about it mate, feel free to...
Is it a coloured polish then mate? And if so, does it come with a coat to make sure it doesn't come off on clothes etc??? As I've heard of coloured polish's causing problems.
Cheers :)
No body???
Someone must have experienced this!
My first thought is that the CL is not activating the mechanism in the door? But I have no idea why it would randomly cut out....
Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread.
Just the one, better ones will be added once I've done a few bits, cleaned it and got Rob, (TheEvilGiraffe) to take some perty pictures!
Looks quite good that mate, lowering it will make the wheels look a lot better.
I wouldnt say people don't like it mate, its just constructive criticism!
I'll buy the spoiler pending pics, thats for sure.
And as a geusture of good will.... If you put up a few of the bits you want to sell I could give you a rough idea of what they go for...
Ok, so the new car has a few niggles (most of which have developed within the first 24 hours of my ownership (doh)) and I do realise this is my second "help me" thread tonight....
Symptoms are as follows,
Locked the car last night, got in it this morning, mrs couldnt get in passenger door...
I love you all very much, and Steve, I've had the car a day, I don't know my way around the engine!!! LOL!
I'll give all that a go when I get a chance, I hope it isnt the cable, although Mr Gray says its easy to do! lol!
Now to post a new thread with a different problem...
Passenger door can...
Just bought myself a lovely ph1, but when coming to a stop it more often than not sticks at around 2k rmp idle?
This can be solved by blipping the throttle when it happens, and then it settles back down? Is something sticking? Possible air leak has been mentioned, but wouldn't this be...
