Just coilovered the PH1

[Nickson]

I have spent the last 2 weekends, with a broken wrist fitting my Coilovers and Polybushes to the Phase 1.
Took bloody ages, but I am pretty happy with the results
The back needs raising a fair bit though, but it will do until next weekend!

Bloody dents..

Please bear in mind I havent been able to wash it for 6 weeks due to my wrist being in cast :dapprove:

 

[Greeny.]

Raising? looks good as it is to me, what coilovers u running? I see u have the good old 'stealth' exhaust

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Like that alot mate how does it handle now? Need to lower mine i think, it sits like a monster truck.

Yeah I was going to raise the back a little as it was too low to begin with. Actually seems to be rising up with use? :s

Only running GAZ GHA's that have just been serviced.

Haha hardly stealthy eh?

Cheers man

Handles like a dream now! I havent driven it for 5 weeks prior to fitting the coilovers and polybushes and it feels so much more.. 'planted' and there is bugger all bodyroll!

Think they need setting up though, as the car is bouncy as hell over any kind of bump!

Ha! I know I know, but I couldnt bring myself to just jetwash it whilst my wrist was like this!

This weekend (weather permitting) it will get some pampering haha!

Haha, I was thinking that

How are you finding them mate? They are verrrrrrry bouncy at my end.. Maybe the damping needs setting up!

Sam!

Cheers man, appreciate it

Errrmm, thats about as high as I could get it!
I finished fitting it last night, and I couldnt seem to get it any higher. It knocks as well which is bloody annoying

Ahhh ok.

Well I have had a play with the damping and they are feeling a hell of a lot better now!

Exhaust is still annoying which is pissing me off haha.

That looks lovely! Leave it just like that!!

Cheers man!!

May raise the back a little, and lower the front a little. I prefer the nose down stance

 

[Will.]

LOL at doing it with a broken wrist.

Looks spot on mate.

 

[domjolly]

Looks really good that same as my phase 1 except I'm saving my pennies for tyres for the oz f1's sitting In my shed lol you could always paint the rear exhaust part that shows black did it on my old car and although it's still there you won't see it as much or be drawn into seeing it

 

[quik99]

Looks very good as it is mate! just lower the front by another10-20mm and your all good to go!

 

[Leeshez]

Looking good.

Cheers mate. I didnt think the sticky down bit of the exhaust looked that bad! Maybe im wrong, or a little biased haha

Ahh thats the plan for this weekend, cast comes off on Friday! Good riddence

Looking good.

 

[prabmire]

Looks immense need some wider rims though!

 

[SteveS Cup]

Looks great but I would definately just lower the front more, leave the rear.

It's crying out for some spacers now though!

 

[Naith]

looks great there fella

 

[Nickson]

Cheers guys!

Will get the front lowered a bit more this weekend if i can bear the cold and post some more pics up
