Okie doke... ive had lots of PM's since fitting the Eibach Sportlines asking for photo's of what they look like. I wanted to wait for them to settle before taking the pictures so here they are, after 500 miles on the car.
oh yeah, and i washed, clayed, polished, waxed and hoovered her too...
This has been going on for too long now and im getting annoyed with it...
Im getting a squeeking noise from the O/S front when going over bumps, sounding worse when im braking and shifting the weight over the front.
ive just replaced the shocks, springs and top mounts and im left with the...
Anyone got any good pics of their ph2 Monaco Blue?
i can only find rubbish pics, and i daren't use the search. I know Lee has some good pics somewhere of his old one?
Ta.
When i turn to the right there's a knocking/banging noise from the N/S wheel. it does it when moving and when stationary.
ive just replaced the shocks, springs and top mounts...
any suggestions?
The lotus boys set a world record for the largest gathering and convoy of lotus's at Brands Hatch this weekend...
A few of the pics taken from Seloc forums, such a shame i couldnt be there :(
Monaco Blue Ph2 172 in Highcliffe this afternoon... saw you twice, once in Highcliffe then again heading out into the forest about half hour later.
car looked very nice, wouldnt mind a monaco blue one myself :)
i was in the old, filthy, rattly, silver Ph1 172
Right, so i know its only a joke and all... but ive spent a long time designing all these graphics, of which the design is owned by me.
Who's cheeky enough to be putting my graphics on ebay? :nono:
come on, own up...
Ph1 172 in silver, Thursday afternoon at PC World in Christchurch.
Driver went into allied carpets next door... completely standard car.
mine was the 172 in front of yours :)
f**king £67 for a top mount kit for a clio... and times that by 2 for both sides! :eek: :dead:
thats more expensive that the shock absorber it fits to! :mad:
Parked next you it tonight in the Pavillian carpark... to be honest i didnt realise it was a 197 until the mrs spotted the renaultsport seats! lol :o
looked great!
So, it started off as a joke when i said my Ph1 should be called a Ph-Quick because is faster than the rest. Since then ive had emails from all over the world (no joke) with people wanting the stickers etc...
so i thought a tribute thread to the Ph-Quicks was in order. So post your pictures of...
Ive recently removed my amp and the 4 gauge power cable that went through the bulkhead to the battery. I drilled a new hole for this the diameter of the cable.
Now that ive removed the cable, im left with hole that whistles like a b**ch when im driving along with the air rushing through it...
I've just bought a new laptop and want to send files from my desktop via my w/l router to my laptop, and vice versa.
Desktop is wired into the router, laptop is wireless.
Desktop is on XP Pro, laptop is on XP Media Centre Edition.
How do i do it?
Thanks :)
Finally fitted the new shocks and Eibach Sportlines yesterday and gave the car a blast today to bed them in. I cant fault them, they've completely changed the handling of my car compared to the apex :approve:
a few of you PM'd me asking for pics, so here ya go! the springs have now covered...
Well not strictly a new car, but it feels like one!
Today i went about fitting my new Eibach Sportline springs and new OEM shocks. I previously had Apex springs on worn out shocks. Wow! i had honestly forgotten how well my car handles, its really changed the characteristic of the car...
Spotted this afternoon at 4ish, gave you a little flash and you flashed your hazzards at me before i zoomed past :)
only saw you last minute due to that bloody fog! :dead:
im replacing both front shocks tomorrow, and fitting new springs at the same time. its the first time ive attempted it myself.
the only thing that worries me is what to do with the hub after taking the shock out... surely it will just be left hanging, or should i support it with something...
My windscreen is permanently steamed up and covered in condensation on the inside in this weather.
The aircon works well, but doesnt take long for it to come back.
are there any products i can use to minimise this?
Left the mrs's tonight to find my wing mirror smashed off and on the floor! No note, no knock on the door no nothing.
Now next door to where it was parked is a house with a loud nova body-kitted thing which gets driven like its stolen. I heard him leave in it a few hours ago, so it was...

my oval plate says my car is CB1C, that thread says its CB0M... i know of other Ph1 172's that are also CB1C... but both vehicle code's bring up parts for the Ph1 172, but with different part numbers.
eg...
... for Christmas i would like my ride handling back since you fitted those god awful apex springs on me. I've been a good car this year and think it's the least i deserve...
many thanks, R4W DC

all i need now is my my finger to heal so that i can fit them! :D
What are the tell-tale signs of the front shocks gone?
my front drivers side is sqeeking a fair amount when going over bumps... and im all set to buy some new shocks. How can i tell it this is whats wrong?
currently on apex springs, but did the same on the eibach pro's. Got some Eibach...
printout from renault dialogys:
what's the "cover s/absrbr" in the picture (round thing). Will i need to order one of them too?
if anyone can confirm the part numbers for a ph1 172 that would be great :)
