Looks a tidy motor

Couple of things i need to know.
car is very tight like its not been driven much and around town on short journeys, so i want to open her up a bit, whats the best way?
the cambelt was replaced with both tensioners back in 04 and only covered 20k since then, is it worth just replacing the belt or the tensioners aswell?
what oil is recommeneded?

 

[bling]

interior is like new except for the flaking steering wheel.
outside is spot on.

If replacing the belts do EVERYTHING including the dephaser pulley, last thing you want is to have to do it again!
5w-40 Fully Synthetic is what most use!

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice looking car mate. Im sure you will love it

do you think i should replace the belts now? is it every 5 years or 60k miles?

 

[b33fy172]

5 years or 72k I think, Personally I'd get them done, and by someone Reputable with the correct tools.

 

[Tombola]

Looks nice mate! Do like a phase 1!

 

[Dunn]

Dont do what most do and do belts my miles and ignore years
your belts were done 7 years ago so get them replaced with tensioners

if it has had regular oil changes with proof then dont bother with dephaser imo or get it done if not

then enjoy it

 

[gez 172]

looks lovley mate. Welcome to the ph1 gang. As beefy said, get everything done inc the dephaser. Will save you alot of hasstle in the future. Have a look on here for proper garages to do the belts.
How much did you give for it out of intrest?

 

[jaye2992]

Very nice, looks well for the age

 

[theduck]

Belts are over due, get them done!

 

[daddycool]

is it just me or is the rear number plate mesmeric
yeah get belts done, else it won't be a bargain anymore

 

[Silent_Scone]

tidy!! That's titanium though, not iceburg?

 

[bling]

tidy!! That's titanium though, not iceburg?

i was told it is an iceburg but could tell?
anyone got 2 images of both colours?

 

[johnnybravo]

It's titanium. That was my old car, until some a**hole rear ended me in a landrover...

 

[johnnybravo]

only joking mate. Looks really nice - cool colour too!!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

< iceburg .. titanium >


​

 

[renclio]

dammit i was going to buy this one, i just wasnt fast enough

 

[bling]

< iceburg .. titanium >


​

i cant tell the difference?

 

[bling]

It's titanium. That was my old car, until some a**hole rear ended me in a landrover...

which part you joking? was it your old car?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

One's blue .. one's silver.

 

[bling]

just checked the paint code and yes mine is code 647! o well silver it is!

 

[johnnybravo]

which part you joking? was it your old car?

Joking about both bits mate. It wasn't mine (although I fancy a Ph1 sport) and clearly as it was never mine, no one ever rear ended me in it lol

 

[bling]

anyone had there inlets matched and whats the difference?

 

[hipwell]

on a ph1 you may see a significant gain as the stock inlets arent brilliant.

 

[p@blo]

i was told it is an iceburg but could tell?
anyone got 2 images of both colours?

Just put your hand on it. If its cold its an iceberg.

Nice looking car dude, welcome to cs.

 

[MADNESS88]

mines titanium but i so prefer iceburg now looking at the pic above

 

[Josh@Renparts]

Looks a great example.
