Adams ph1 172 ?

[Sam_]

Just read the whole thread, fantastic what you've done mate Looks really smart

 

[adam172]

Thanks for the comments guys still a fair old way to go yet though!

 

[chrispy.clio]

Looks pretty good does that. Shame the wheels are a sh1tty offset.

 

[adam172]

Yea the offset has caused some problems. But nothing that can't be sorted

 

[Rob]

This looks blinding mate. Great new pictures.

Very nice

 

[adam172]

UPDATE!

just got back from the unit were I do all the work on my car been there since about 3.00, loooooooong !

I was driving to work this morning and my exhaust rubber (in the middle) decided to give up, so untill i get a new one this will do!

old.

new.

after doing this i decided i would crack on and do some bits iv been meaning to do for ages

i want all my interior sprayed satin black eventually but for now i will just get all the interior i have left, sprayed black to match the seats and dash.

carpet will end up going but first i need to buy my new floor

roof

then i run out.

next up was the camber shims
after braking a fair few torx bits i finally got the stub(ben) axles off and fitted the shims

2x 1degree shims on each side

i then removed the adjuster on the rear springs to get some more lows.
I now need to lower the front more, I lowered it a further 20mm but tbh its made 0 difference it needs a good 40mm drop imo, and then remove the front splitter for a more flat one.

before

after

and how it sits atm.

c+c welcome!

just read every page, love this car mate, very tidy

 

[Brian]

Not checked this thread in a while, just gets better, loved it at Fcs

 

[edewer]

that front needs to go down a tad more i reckon dude! helper springs out? feel sad i didnt keep mine and go down this route now

 

[adam172]

The front WILL be coming down I need to source/make a new splitter first that isn't as thick, it needs to be flat

 

[Rob]

Looking good mate, bring the front down for sure. Don't worry about the splitter. It bends

 

[ChrisG_2010]

my new favourite Ph1!

 

[Stu.]

This Looks awesome

 

[adam172]

Thanks guys means allot.should have more updates during the week.

 

[turbo tom]

looking good, what have you done with the old wheels?

 

[adam172]

Keeping them mate iv got a track day comin up once iv done that then they will be for sale

 

[GeorgeH]

Camber looks bloody mean, matches the front now. Shims easy to put on? Did you not go for bigger spacers?
Still my favourite ph1

 

[adam172]

I have these on there way

I will then put my 30mm spacers I have on the front on my rear and put these new 50mm spacers on the front. So my fronts will be spaced another 20mm and the rear another 5mm.

And the shims arnt tooo bad to fit but you need to take all the rear brakes discs stub axles off so pretty long.

[adam172]

My other wheels are 16s anyway mate

 

[adam172]

Spacers arrived today they look top quality !! Hopefully fitting the tomorrow. More updates coming!!

 

[one in a million]

yummy, i think im more eager than you to see these bad boys fitted lol

 

[Nickson]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!
Those spacers are hugeee!

Cannot wait to see them fitted though.
Looking awesome as always Adam :approve:

 

[adam172]

Thanks boys yes I'm pretty excited to see what they are like fitted !

Will get some pics ip tonight hopefully!

 

[DanielJames]

Monster spacers!

Look forward to the pics

 

[DanielJames]

Pics!!!!

 

[adam172]

Hahaha eager beaver! I finish work at 4 then I will be cracking on getting them fitted!

 

[Rob]

I look forward to seeing this!

 

[adam172]

So the 50mm stud conversion spacers ARE ON!

Looks better imo also stopes the front to match the rear.

Sorry for the gayest pictures ever I will get some better ones soon

 

[mr.pink87]

Looks good! But i guess your wheel bearings will not like the spacers...

 

[Jekyll]

ooof! looking good!

 

[adam172]

Wheel bearings, front arches, tyres, splitter and bumper will all HATE the spacers, ride hight and camber but ..... Meh looks good

 

[one in a million]

looking so good, who cares what it affects, as long as he looks cool whilst driving thats all that matters in 8dams life lol

FLOL at practicality being a high priority mate!! Looks good but need some decent pics!!

[Stu.]

Should try get the dished wheels for the back! big improvement with the spacers though dare i say, lower?

 

[adam172]

I can't get the rear any lower without custom springs or adding weight to the back, which I really do not want to do!! so I figure getting the front and rear sitting the same is the best way, plus since I have drove it home about 1and half miles it's settled down and dropped a tad more !

I very happy with the results though and didn't have any problems with bumps dips curbs ect ... Like i thought I would
