Beautiful!

 

[Inequality Street]

Lovely. Its no @Phase1sr though ;-)

 

[Adamm.]

Very nice, I'd bloody love a ph1 again.

 

[Alastair.]

Good price from a dealer, just needs the standard head unit.

 

[DannyR]

I'd love that it was being sold by anybody else but them!

Bad dealings with them?

 

[DannyR]

Bad dealings with them?

Serious?

I've been on this forum over 10 years! Even people that have been here a year know that if it's been touched by them it's probably best leaving alone!

I've read various story's about them in the past. I dont pay much attention as most things on this forum get over exaggerated as I'm sure you've witnessed. People love jumping on the band wagon.

None the less that's a nice ph1 going by the pics.

I've had very bad dealings with their "mapping guru" at his previous place of work, so I think I was first on the wagon! That was 9 years ago!

How he's still in the game I do not know!

Danny knows, we all know

Looks very nice, no mention of belts though

 

[ADS_V6]

Nevermind belts, lets just hope it hasn't been 'mapped'

 

[Russ_16v]

You both took the words out of my mouth

 

[Tommo.]

Probably best if they don't do the belts either...

[Russ_16v]

Timing needs to be that out to run on their 'remap'

Ok i'll stop now

 

[Alastair.]

Fuk me that's out, was that just after they did a belt change?

 

[imprezaworks]

It will sell easily tbf

 

[Russ_16v]

Agree, at that price with those miles and from a, ahem, 'specialist', it will be snapped up quickly

 

[imprezaworks]

Definatly.If i wasnt a member on here id be interested in buying it

 

[Tommo.]

It was about two months afterwards. They had done the works- cam belt, aux belt, dephaser, water pump, full service, cat back exhaust and "custom remap". Not a small bill by any means. The first thing I did was replace the map with an RSTuner Map and had the timing corrected. It was like a different car!

 

[Russ_16v]

usual result then

 

[GW200]

Lovely PH1, I've got a real bad itch for one of these at the moment!

What am I looking at there to tell the timing is out?

 

[Jack!]

To be fair to them, they're now running a trade sales business, so it's not as bad as before when they would buy the occasional car and then stick an induction kit on it and want an extra 2k for it because it's been sorted by them.

I assume what they do now is take cars in, give them a 'going over' (questionable standards here) and sell them, without so much messing around with them

Fact is, because of their name to those outside the knowledge of this forum, they're the biggest, and for that reason they get the best stock, they've got some cracking RS models for sale at nearly all times.

NB. They're pretty much on my doorstep, but I take my car to Mike at Rentech, take from that what you will.

The horse shoe should fit into both the exhaust cam and inlet cam notches like so (courtesy of Fred / BTM) -



And this is how K-Tec do cam timing..... you'll see how the horse shoe doesn't line up with the two notches.

[Stefan.]

Looks nice

 

[yeecup]

Yeah I'd happily have that tbf. Needs eibachs/cooksports though. It's a bit on the high side

 

[ADS_V6]

if i had the cash would snap that up then take it to someone on here to check the timing,2 owners low mileage cant be many out there left

 

[NorthloopCup]

That's semi Grp n cam timing! Almost! Lol! Little bit more advance than the proper Grp n timing tool gives, but not much.

 

[Alastair.]

someone's left a deposit on the ph1.

 

[yeecup]

Still on their website? Sale fallen through?

 

[Alastair.]

Must have, said deposit taken in the add title from last Thursday.

Looks nice from the pics

 

[Sidders]

i drove quite a way to look at this and the other low mileage example
its in good nick but needs a bit of detailing under the bonnet but seems to be an honest car with a pretty comprehensive service history
was mapped at ktec but some time ago and to be honest pulls well also has the stealth ss exhaust with cat and panel filter.
was worried i might have overpaid but suppose there thin on the ground.
