Phwoar...... I love a nice Odessey

I genuinely do not know, or care, how many owners my Ph1 has had. I got the logbook and put it in the folder, havent seen it since

In my ford days, I had 4 mk2 XR2s.......... ALL of them smelt the same

Looking good fella. I await pics of the massively anal detailing session

Cool. So I am not being blagged then, lol

Wonder whether these would work well with Koni shocks and Cooksport springs?

How is this done? A mechanic friend of mine put one in a vice, plugged a multimeter on the terminals and then heated the probe up with a blowtorch. He said that depending on the values shown on the multimeter would confirm if they were buggered or not. Is this true??

I saw this up close last week in Wilmslow. You cant see it from that pic, but the rear wheels need 50mm spacers, and the bodywork is an absolute tip. The guy driving looked like a right scruff herbert too

I suppose you could cut the end piece off with those tailpipes and weld a stealth tip on?

WOW. Talk about investigating a car before you buy, ROFL

If it's any use, mine is lowered on koni shocks and apex springs and the front is 300mm, arch to middle of centre cap

This. Massively improves, but will then stress gearbox and topmount, so keep an eye on them. Make sure you know, Phs1 is a straight dogbone, Phs2 is twisted. You will need to confirm when ordering. KAM still do these at a good price I believe

Because it looks like you have ZERO suspension travel, so either riding on broken springs, or a boot full of cement bags. "Camberz FTW y0!" No...... again, it looks like the wheel bearings have collapsed. "Pimps be lovin poke" No..... just looks like you bought the wrong offset wheels from...

This... everyday... x 100 Clownshoes that think their DRL's give them precedent in the outside lane, being either up your back end or blocking your way with a large gap in front. I never see any other 172's near me anymore

Mwahahhahaha. It can easy be done in one piece. I wouldnt spunk hundreds on the real deal though, just to end up with a lasses heel marks in it. Get some faux s**t off ebay. That was the plan. But if I got 1000 for mine, then added up the 1200 or so its gonna cost to get mine sorted, its not...

PM'd you about some brakes G Man ;)

If I do 30mph in mine and hit a pothole, it doesnt rip the chassis leg out, or take an even bigger chunk out of the road. Plus, if broken is looking better, you must just LOVE visiting scrapyards

Are they 2 different sizes on the front, as per this ad: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370530585410?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 ???

Re: My PH1 172 Makes me want to refurb my wheels, they make such a massive difference to the look of it. Lovely example!!

Its just a massive "pull me over" to the police, mainly because its not MOT friendly, so then you get a VDRS form, and wjile you are there, they will f**k you for the pressed plates and HID bulbs in standard lamps you no doubt have also. *shakes head at the "yoof" of today*

I concur

My pump has gone piss poor lately, so need to swap that out for a new one. I can see me ringing Autoglass, asking if they can fix a swcree with a 22mm spanner embedded in the middle

I am going to have my belts done soon, and think it would be rude not to partake in a cheeky cam swap while I am there. Mine is a ph1 172 used as a daily. Only mods being a panel filter and stainless. What's the CS general concensous on the 197 swap? think its worth the extra cost? And I...

Well, I was going to replace the clio with something like a GT TDi or BMW 330D. But on my 60mile a day commute that I have recently started, my Ph1 has been giving me 40mpg (even with a lambda light on), so it looks like she is staying. However, I want to freshen her up, so the list is as...

Oil temp is not.depndant on time. Its how the engine is used. Obv if people tickle its arse for 15mins, its not gonna be as warm as someone that works the engine up the rev range properly

18kg is a fairly hefty weight

Hence I only ever run with half a tank, unless i am going on a looooong motorway stint. It's just excess weight thats not needed.

Northy, is that YOUR cup racer on those pics?

They look green in some pics, lol. I will try to get a night time pic

Black one looks lovely
