Harphamominom's Ph1 Project - sunflower content p12 onwards

[DanielJames]

Haven't been on here for a while, it's nice to see such a nice Ph1.

Can't help but think it deserves PH2 rear lights though... lol jk

Keep it up pal!

 

[Harpham]

Cheers matey. Photos hide all the chips and things :rasp:. I do properly love this car though!

Oh and can people stop mentioning Ph2 lights, thanking you please. Not happening. LOL

I've just bit the bullet and ordered the PI springs. Voucher runs out tomorrow it seemed, so redeemed it and got them pretty cheap. We'll see what they're like. I'm sure they'll be fine for my needs! Can't wait to get some subtle lows though.

 

[theduck]

You will regret the pi springs!

How about tinted red ph2 lights? So they are all red but got the clearer look? That way if they look good on yours I can carry and do it to lie without risking it looking s**t

 

[Bren Rogers]

Ph1 lights suit the sunflower colour IMO.

 

[Harpham]

Hi

Just arrived. We'll see what they're like once fitted. Hopefully, ill be able to get them fitted on Sunday, if not sooner, and I hope, even more so, that they're alright LOL.

 

[Sam]

Needs the drop like.

Im with you to, keep the ph1 rear lights!!!

Sam!

TWENTY FIVE MILLIMETERS, TWENTY FIVE!!!111!!0101

 

[Harpham]

Wait, wut?!! Is that a bad thing?

 

[Paul172sport]

get them on then lad.

 

[Harpham]

My dad reckons that he's going to be busy for the next 3-4 weeks, rebuilding the porch, so won't have the time.

I may have to get some reinforcements...

 

[AK]

Tell him he better do it or you'll shave the porno tash off.

 

[Paul172sport]

Follow the guide on here. Hey even I managed it

 

[Bren Rogers]

I tried fitting springs once, and failed.. miserably.

Dads are easily won over... buy him a pint?

 

[Harpham]

Follow the guide on here. Hey even I managed it

I think the people who have met me can back me up on this, but yeah, I should never ever attempt to do anything that is "mechanically" based on a car. It can only end in disaster.

I'm the same.. it must be a gey yellow car owning thing.

The jobs I can do tends to take me 2-3 times longer than anyone else. I'd like to say I'm thorough, but I'm not.

 

[Harpham]

Nahh, it's just a r****d thing. I've owned 6 cars. 1 has been yellow. I'm still a r****d LOL.

I may just be able to manage fitting the rears without killing myself/anyone or ruining the car. Although, id need someone to check everything afterwards to ensure that they we're fitted right.
No chance id even try fitting the fronts. It'd only end one way.

 

[AK]

Why not just get that homo Gray to do it for a reacharound?

 

[Paul172sport]

Maybe we should stick to a group sunflower detail meet then

 

[Harpham]

Why not just get that homo Gray to do it for a reacharound?

Gray Motorsport may get a cheeky text and in exchange I shall offer a free Polish spesshul wash & reacharound.

 

[Slammed172]

How much for refurb ? £20 each corner ? What's inc ? Tyres on/off, balanced etc ?

 

[Harpham]

In total costs £30 per wheel, if you want tyres removing, refitting and balancing. (£20 per wheel, if tyre removal/refit isn't required)

My bill came to £110, as I didn't have 2 tyres put back on.

Done this on my iceberg ph1, Just stick with the standard lights, Look better lol.

Pics or it never happend etc.

P.s When you Coming to scotland to detail my swirly yellow car?

 

[Slammed172]

Cool, cheers.

 

[Harpham]

P.s When you Coming to scotland to detail my swirly yellow car?

No Deal.
Like I say, my 'flower has to be better than everyone else's at something. :rasp:

 

[Harpham]

Went out to play with Sym0n this morning.

Still got to fit my springs. Just waiting for a day when both my dad and I are available for a few hours to get them on. I'm itching to get them on. The height difference between mine and Sym0n's car was ridiculous. Proper tractor stance.

 

[superbenji88]

deffo nothing to do with owning a sun flower as I changed drive shafts, fitted coilovers, 4 pots and polo rad!

 

[Gouldy]

So you went for the PI's in the end.

Are you and your dad fitting the fronts and rears or just the rears Paul ?

Be sure to report how they ride and your thoughts the PI springs.

 

[Harpham]

We'll be fitting all of them, when we finally get the chance to. Getting desperate to get them on now, rather than have them sat in my room.

 

[daveski]

Ask Mick nicely to do them? He has a nice spring compressor now that needs some action.

 

[Harpham]

Remember Dave, i'm a pikey Polishman with no money.

(Although, £20 and a reacharound, and ill take them down to him tomorrow - Hint hint, Mick LOL)

 

[Harpham]

No More Trat'or Stance

Car is now lowered on the PI springs.

Taken it out for a couple of miles to make sure everything was fine. First impressions are that they aren't too bad for the price. They do feel quite bouncy for lowered springs, but this isn't something that i'm bothered about.
Looks wise, atm they look pretty decent. Lowered it just about the right amount for what I wanted (25mm on the box), but I guess they'll get slightly lower as they bed in, which won't be a bad thing.

EDIT: To compare, they feel nowhere near as hard as Syn0b's set up on his Ph1 (think he's got Sportlines + Koni Shocks?? May be wrong).

Ill update once i've done some proper driving in it.

No pics yet. I'm being as ASW, like Spinksy, and waiting for CSS to "showcase" my car :rasp:. Plus, it's dirty as f**k and I cannae be bothered to get the DSLR out for some decent photos.

I also ordered some new headlight bulbs this morning, seeing as one blown about 6 weeks ago. Thought id better sort that out, as the day after CSS, ill be driving down to Devon for the week, so don't really want to roll without a headlight.

 

[Gray]

LOL, you tease.

Pretty sure Syn0b's is running sportlines and standard shock absorbers.

 

[Gray]

I might take a photo of your car tonight and post it here.

 

[Scott™]

Do it Gray. I won't be bothering to look at his car at CSS anyways.

 

[Harpham]

Don't worry, ScottDOT. I won't be looking at yours either. Ill be too busy keying it.

 

[Sym0n]

LOL, you tease.

Pretty sure Syn0b's is running sportlines and standard shock absorbers.

You're wrong. Adjustable Konis innit blad.

 

[welshname]

You win, Paul.

With CSS 10 days away, my car is 1 more problem away from being driven into a wall at high speeds.

You can send my prize via PayPal gift. Thanks for coming.

Surprised you haven't driven it into a wall already tbqfh. I know that I would have by now. lol

 

[Gray]

Dint kno dat BLUD.

Sik ride... You always had them on?

 

[Harpham]

Couple Bits

Just had a couple of bits arrive for me in the post this morning, just in time for CSS... One of them being some cheapo headlight replacement bulbs. I can imagine that they're going to look terrible, as they we're cheap LOL.

Is it wrong that since lowering the car, I now feel the need to also fit spacers all round?!!
