Good start ! There's some crackers there, with a bit of PS tweaking ;)
Two things I learnt from shooting at night ..
1: Shoot RAW (if you can) and get them looking natural (without the yellow/orange glow) within a few seconds on PhotoShop.
2: Use the timer - 2 seconds is enough .. it...
75HP +5hp (induction kit) and +10hp for 2 drainpipes hanging out the back.
20% gain for that ? Impressive. Clearly has the rolling road to prove this ....
One thing that surprises me is that it's written in clear, concise English and full of spulling errors and capitals !
One thing that does...
Dont do Ph2 rear end !!!! Keep the Ph1 as a Ph1 !
Car looks good !! Haven't really seen too many silver with black wheels on here.
^ Good man !
^ :nono:
JAM-sport highly recommended !
Much more driveable .. picks up much better from 2k, and goes like a rocket to the big numbers !!
Notable higher MPGs on a long journey .. (back from JAM-Sport compared with journey to JAM-Sport)
Two thumbs up from me ...
3-4" is FAR too much .. I managed it in mine with about 40mm of front clearance (as you saw today, Mark!) when we had masses of snow last week in Kent.
:rasp:
But on a more serious note ..:
Most of this afternoon was spent at Jam-sport ..
It's awful there ... :rolleyes:
I had to sit...
Rim-Tec .. 01474 813 919
Top work, nice guy (I think it was Dan) .. highly recommended ! Repaired one of my Dad's wheels when he ran out of talent* in his Caterham 7 !! :rolleyes:
*Don't tell him I said that .. :quiet:
No clean pics i'm afraid. They went on during last weeks snow, and the car is currently mostly matt-brown !

It was £35 a corner to be stripped / coated, then £5 a wheel to fit and balance new tyres I had .. + the VAT
For 4 I paid £184, which didn't seem bad at all.....?! :)
Gloss black and some tyre gel stuff !
If you are getting them powdercoated, then Rim-tec in Meopham (nr. Gravesend) have just done my Ph1 F1s, and a damn fine job too :)
mine does this .. one side keeps blowing and the other is fine.
i just took them out ..!! will source the (presumably bad earth) problem at some point later in the year ..
Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread.
Who are you calling cheeky ?
It's actually a 1996 Corsa with a body kit .. but each to their own !

Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread.
HAHAHA !!!
Yeah - it does get around .. it's unfair to leave a car in Kent when the mountains are only 4 hours away :cool:
Pics have potential ! Not bad for first attempt tho :)
Try to shoot RAW at night .. then you can tweak them on PC to get them looking better... liiiike zis:
;)
