Hmm we could be here a while for me...
My first ph1 back in 2005 - 06
Just stripped out, buckets, exhaust, air filter and matched inlets. Did 187bhp on the stock ecu map!
That ended on its roof sadly.
I bought this to replace it 06-07. (I bought another ph1 16v which was needing too much work so I broke it)
As I bought it
Then a 172 conversion which I've lost pictures of :-/
I then sold it and bought an Evo 2, which I was nearly bankrupted by. So
I swapped it for a Williams 3, which I've lost pictures of.
My ex girlfriend who still was a little but emotional about me leaving her then paint stripped it and wrote It off.
I then bought this in 2009
Which had a certain folded tuning company's "208bhp kit" or 184 at my local RR.
It then dropped a valve, and went through 3 engines. I then converted it to run ITB's and mapped it myself. Never had it on the rollers though.
The gf also had one:
Then I decided I wanted to 20vt it, so started that but then split up with a long term gf and wanted shot of any memory of her so broke it for spares.
I then bought this (2010)
Then sold it for an Ibiza tdi as I was doing alot of miles and I felt it unfair on the DUF.
I then stopped my commuting and bought this (2010)
280bhp LCR.
My dad wrote it off just 3 weeks into ownership.
I bought this as a replacement
Did a few bits like:
Fujitsubo exhaust
Cusco cage
Tein coilovers
3 point strut brace
Fujitsubo manifold
Got itchy V5 syndrome again and sold it after 6 months and bought this:
I HATED the front bumper but couldn't find a replacement one in white.
But it was too much for a daily, the power delivery was awesome but when commuting via country lanes it was getting wrecked so I sold it on and bought this (2011)
Did quite alot to that.
GT2871r
Tubular manifold
Massive FMIC
turbo back milltek
Forged rods
DMF conversion
WMI
KW V3's
Neuspeed ARB's
Saw 363bhp and 341lb-ft of torque.
I wanted to enter Combe saloons so started the build then realised that with Combe regs I'd only be able to run it for a year before it became out of date so abandoned the build and broke it for spares.
I was driving a Laguna 2 DCI at this point but won't bore you with that.
I then bought this as an MOT failure (2012), as I'd driven Emma's cup quite a few times and was pining for another clio.
Didn't do anything too much to that as I sold it within 3 months. (Recaro's and cruise control)
I then bought this (2012-2013)
Which became a bit of an obsession to get 200bhp out of after becoming good friends with chip.
So:
RS2
197 cams
Decat
Saw 192, chip convinced me he thought 200bhp was there, so next was a Yozza exhaust which got 197bhp at 7500rpm
Needed more revs so ARP's went in, another map by chip got this:
Other mods were Rear arb, B14's, TD 1.2's, recaro's and cruise control.
The rs2 got sold and the car leant to Vikki and i put my cup on the road:
Sadly, it lasted 3 weeks before it got collected by an out of control BMW at Combe.
I then bought this Audi:
Which I was bored of after 2 weeks. Too refined for me.
and due to reasons of Vikki's previous employer we need to source a quieter one so we bought a black
Ph2.
Which had the gearbox from the Monaco and the engine was sold.
She's now got a cup spoiler on it and that's it.
I then was offered the next one by a good friend.
Which was on ITB's and a knackered engine. Being me I got bored of it quickly and super charged it and here it is today...
