My driveway before and after........ (Caution Ph1 content)

[Jay Payne]

Before......

After....

Didnt buy a ph1 originaly coz i prefered the ph2 looks and dash. But it has grown on me quite a bit during '07, seeing other members cars on here. everyday when i get into my van, that the view i see. i think the Ph1 front looks very aggressive. Still prefer the dash of the ph2 i think, but only just.
Circumstance have changed now so this is going to be a road going fun/track car for me...

Some of you will recognise/ know whos car this was. It is currently a work in progress and i will be starting a project thread soon.

Absolutely hanging out to watch this progress thread mate, hope it all goes well.

Mint, unless you keep the t**t strip. Should have got a flame red ph 1

 

[john.med]

yeah what's with that stripe? Only midgets will be able to see out!

Is that your e30 BMW in need of a polish?

 

[Bluebeard]

The car has no sunvisors, hence the Tw*t strip.

Jon.Med, the seats are on the floor!

 

[Sy]

I like it a lot.

That would of been the ultimate for me, dont think i could of ragged it too much tho, same prob as with my old one id be afraid to damage it. Not sure yet what to do wth the 't**t strip'
as you call it. I need something as there is no sun visors in there (there aint much of anything tbh)

Lol,was wondering if anyone wpuld spot that. It belongs to my neighbor, its a total shed. Ive been here almost 3 years and it hasn't moved once. Someone else in the street told me its been therre at least 6 years. im fed up with people knocking on my door asking if its for sale. He just wont get rid of it, keeps saying what an ace car it is and how he will get it going again one day.
The thing has rust holes the size of manholes in it!

 

[john.med]

I can't even use the sun visor without blocking my view, but I am a big bast@rd.

Peel it off, you know you wanna!!!

Was thinking of changing it to black or silver, wot u think?

 

[john.med]

What are your plans for it? Road/racer?

 

[Jay Payne]

Its already stripped out with half cage and seats with harnesses. Use it on some track days and south west airfield meets

 

[Ian_182]

Get rid of the strip and you will be fine

 

[Schweppy]

I like the strip ... matches the wheels

 

[Jay Payne]

wheels are not staying!

 

[Schweppy]

Ah ok then. What u gettin?

 

[Jay Payne]

Not sure yet, got a stock set to run on for the road.

Might just refurb these a different colour. for track

Not made any firm decisons on much of the spec yet

 

[Djw John]

Cool, glad to see it staying in the club, careful balancing those wheels

 

[j6 pkp]

you could always get a second hand ph2 dash and put it in, been done before!

 

[Schweppy]

Cool. Silver sunstrip would probs be better then.

Has it got 4 brake pads now? lol

 

[Jay Payne]

Schweppy No, not yet. Lol. thats weight saving to the extreme. On the case, not using it as its not taxed so no rush. got some pads just need discs

Dwj john, i just pmsl.

 

[MarkCup]

Nice

 

[Schweppy]

Schweppy No, not yet. Lol. thats weight saving to the extreme. On the case, not using it as its not taxed so no rush. got some pads just need discs

Dwj john, i just pmsl.

Hahaha well i'll hopefully be seeing it at the airfield meet.

 

[Jay Payne]

thats the plan mate

 

[Phoenix]

looks nice...except the air feed in the fog lights sticks out like a sore thumb and the sunstrip?....seriously....take it off lol...or at least buy a subtle one that blends in

 

[Jay Payne]

yea air feed is being relocated. What are yours thoughts on a plain black strip?

 

[Djw John]

Plain black or silver since you need it imo

 

[Timmay]

very nice!

 

[-Leigh-]

lol at Dan for removing the sunvisors. Surely they weren't that heavy?

Admit it, you just wanted a windscreen sticker thingy didn't you.

 

[Marky_]

Cool.
I'd just get a new sunstrip.

If i had a strip in mine i wouldn't be able to see lol. Stupid clios haveing high chairs in them.

 

[Day]

My old cage lives on again!

 

[Coby.]

Loved the Flame Red BUT the Ph1 is a Quality Stripped Out Car

 

[Jay Payne]

My old cage lives on again!

and the coils! (in a box waiting for their time)

 

[PS autoshine]

the dashy swap sounds good.i haven't seen it myself but have thought about it.when i can afford to get a car as well as the van a ph1 with ph2 dash would be very tempting.wouldn't do it to a standard one though.

 

[Jay Payne]

Ive seen a ph1 with ph2 dash but i dont think i can be bothered with all that. time and expense would be better used else where on the car.

Might just get the dash top flocked

 

[Reyes]

You changed the paving?

 

[JON13S]

heya mate looking good. want to see this in action at the airfield without fail. as for the tw@ strip.... mines gone to sticky back plastic heaven. white attracts alot of unwanted attention. i'd be tempted to get one made from window tint type of material to be honest as its not obvious and works well if you really need one.

 

[Mikey]

nice 1 mate, ph2 was nice though...
