Took alot of messing about but finally got my 197 seats fitted how I want them. I wanted a lower seating position than standard so they needed alot of adapting to get them low enough. Ended up chopping up the 197 recaro frames and welding them onto universal seat rails which then bolt onto...

I'm sure many will recognise this car (Chris from beaniesports old car) , it came up for sale very local and me and my mate have always wanted a Mk1 so decided to go halves on the project. Brought as a shell without an engine, fuel tank or seats and going to put all the spare parts we have...

Found this channel on YouTube and it's bloody brilliant.. Two cheap hot hatches getting driven to the absolute limit and the guys driving are having a right laugh in the process! Makes me really want a 306gti now!

I've just brought a clio with an epas conversion using a dci rack. I don't know if it's because I've never driven a clio with epas but it just doesn't seem right. Its much easier to turn right than left (feels like more assistance when turning left) on the higher settings and only really...

Mate was selling this for a good price and I was getting bored of the 172 so decided to take the plunge and go for it. Quick spec from the sale ad; For sale is my Honda Civic aerodeck mc2 vti turbo. Has factory fitted lip kit direct from honda and is a really good clean shell with lots to...

Anyone know the length of the early ph1 handbrake cables? (adjusts from inside) Can't buy them from RPD anymore so thinking of just cutting the ph2 ones I've accidentally brought down

With the black turbo ph1 off the road getting its megane conversion and becoming much more track focused I thought I'd buy myself a run about. This came up fairly cheap nearby so went for it. Came with no service history other than a cambelt and dephaser and new brakes all round just before I...

Just finished my conserving my brothers ph1, all done on the driveway by me and brother. Been a great learning curve, goes for mapping next week, car runs great on the bace map so hopefully all goes well. Spec is: Lower compression engine (thicker head gasket) Garret gt2560r Adaptronic ecu...

Little clip of my car now its got the pure motorsport exhaust fitted. Obviously dont drive the car like this all the time, just wanted flames for the video lol

Cars fitted with an auto gauge pressure gauge (s**t I know) but the oil pressure seems to jump at around 4.5k revs Should this be happening or not? Also quite a big misfire after changing to 4th under load.. Cars boosted on an adaptronic ecu so what's best to look at first? Thanks

My black ph1 is looking very dull with many swirls ect. I would like to have a go at polishing it with the DA polisher I have but don't really know where to start on what polish or pads to use, there's so many options and having never done it properly before I'm abit lost. Not looking to do a...

Thought I'd better get round to putting a thread up seeing as i've owned the car for over 3 years now and this winter Ill be turbo charging it for my HND project at college. Got the car pretty much standard and slowly over time got it to a half decent spec: Engine: 197 cams matched inlets...

Got bucket seats and need to position them further back in the car, anybody know how far back the omp runners slide back in relation to where they are bolted down?

Recently fitted these and absolutely love them, however they are far to high! whats the best way of getting them lower? currently on recaro adapter plates and the standard rails. Recaro seats by robmunns1, on Flickr

Spotted in the car park walking into work today

Had a quick search and couldn't find anything definite, basically it started with my radio randomly switching on and off but has now moved to the headlights not going onto full beam, however the blue full beam light on the dash is constantly on with the low beam indicator coming on when I turn...

Had cs stickers... not seen it there before?

Looked so similar to mine I thought it had been nicked haha

For about the last month or so the immobliser has been giving me problems (flashing light) but usually after a few attempts it goes, and every now and again the central locking off the key would take a while to work. However now the central locking from both keys has completely gone (spare has...

Had the car a while but only recently got it back on the road and thought I'd upload some pic's i took after giving it a wash with a few mates... Untitled by Rob Munns, on Flickr Untitled by Rob Munns, on Flickr Untitled by Rob Munns, on Flickr Untitled by Rob Munns, on Flickr Thanks...

Brakes have barley any feel and the pedal is very spongy. Not really sure what's wrong, new disks and pads at the back, fronts both have loads of life and recently just had the fluid flushed, also had new calipers about a year ago and have made sure the runners and pistons are both free, so...

Recently done a Ph1 to Ph2 dash conversion and obviously now cant have a passenger air bag, what resistor do i need to turn off the airbag/serv light? Thanks Rob

As said in the title the clutch bites straight away which makes changing gear very annoying, can the biting point be adjusted? Its a ph1 172 cheers Rob
