My MK1 Hybrid

[jay s]

not taken any pics in some time so decided to take some today

 

[HartZ]

Really like that mate, love the seats

 

[Struggler]

very nice! your shell looks mint!!

 

[EllisC]

Want!! mint example mate

 

[Gaz85]

lovely!

 

[Scrooge]

Looks really clean, I love seeing mint mk1s

 

[.Stevo.C.]

looks great! why do the door pockets on mk1's always look manky my williams one's are the same annoying likes.

 

[jay s]

cheers lads . stevohC : probably because they are all 15-18 years old

iv'e been lucky with mine as in the 6 years iv'e had it iv'e not had a problem with the dreaded rust lol ( its seen its fair amount of polish in its time tho)

 

[Ash87]

looks great bar the front plate.

 

[jay s]

thanks will be changing the plate soon ( probably before fcs ) will be 3/4 size still but pretty much normal font

 

[Struggler]

i think im going to have resort to reshelling my hybrid into a mk2

mines gone too far and dont want to reshell it only to be left with the same rust issues!!

 

[jay s]

NOOO keep it in a mk1 mate

on a serious note tho , i do understand what you mean as once they start to rust they are a bloody nightmare these cars the trick is to find a decent shell from the off and wash it weekly followed by polishing and waxing monthly, its an anal process but does keep the rust away. i done it with mine for the 1st 4 years but have been a bit lazy the last 2 lol.

 

[Struggler]

Problem is, finding a mint mk1 valver shell,
and then theyre gna be going for a pretty heft pricetag!

pick up a mk2 nonsport with a snapped cambelt for pennies and do the entire conversion and scrap the mk1 shell, could almost do the entire thing for free!!

just need to work out if i need to change some of the exhaust system and get a rear suspension set up from somewhere.

and any other issues that i might run into doing a complete conversion!

Love it apart from the gay front plate.

 

[nathanH]

Arnt you due a new car now Jay, you seem to have had that thing years! Looking tidy as always.

 

[one in a million]

so want one of these

 

[Russ_16v]

As always Love it ~Jay - has been one of my fave mk1's for years

Whats it running at Pod now - 13.9?

 

[jay s]

Haha i have had it ages but its been a good little car, and served me very well so its stayed gonna need something special to replace it, something like a e46 m3:race:

Cheers russ it ran 13.9 with my old setup but i haven't been pod since uping the power, i estimate it will run a 13.5/6 in it's current form. time will tell....:evil:
btw parts of your old itb engine have made there way on to this for when the omex is fitted

 

[Mr Burns]

Lovely. Nice pics too.

 

[Struggler]

saw this up in london tonight!! was going to come say hello, but you was never parked up in your car, so i did know who to talk to!!
i had the mk1 clio covered in stickers lol

 

[jay s]

LOL same as mate , i was standing next to your car for about 10 min's and i couldn't see anybody who owned it BUT when i went to leave the roundabout you were sitting in your car blocking me in ( not your fault as the lupo was holding us up ).

I really really like your front plate as well, i want the same lol ... where can i get one, size and font etc ?

 

[Struggler]

that lupo got on my nerves!! they wouldnt move, was good there last night, albeit a bit crowded which usually ends in tears!!
every time i saw you go past i was tempted to chase after you lol!

plate is from fancyplates

http://www.fancyplates.com/step1.php
just enter the dimensions as 520mm x 80mm (or 90mm, probs best measure)

car looks spot on mate! perhaps a bit too much trim for my liking though
and i WANT your brakes! lol

 

[Ra1nb1rd]

Is a quick little car that, was out with struggler in my ph1 172, black turinis and wrap round cobra seats

[Struggler]

engine mods??

are you out this weekend?? as im meeting up with bass_direct this weekend to pick up a part,
he said your were out with him last sat!

i might get a closer look!

 

[Ra1nb1rd]

Pretty lairy cams I think alex, especially to run a 13,

 

[Laine_16v]

Piper 285's

 

[Ian_182]

Looks very well.Im shocked to see no rust,fair play...

 

[jay s]

ah cheers lads

the spec of the engine is :

2.0ltr F7R
Piper 285 Cams ( classed as a stage 3 cam )
Piper adjustable pullies
APD stage 2 flowed head (headwork)
Supersprint exh manifold
Mongoose Exh system with decat
Group A Scuttle induction kit
RS Tuning remap

its making about about 185bhp 156lb/ft @5.5k ( has a 7.3k limit) but is running dangerously lean after this due to maxing out the injectors. ive just got a set of bigger injectors and will be going back to see paul in the next few weeks to have a new map done for the bigger injectors and to up the power:evil:

as i previously mentioned i also have an omex 600 , 172 flywheel, clutch , coilpack, leads and a set of volvo t5 high imp injectors ( high imp needed for standalone ) . just need to get loom and a few sensors then that lot will be ready to fit as well ( russ all them parts were yours minus the omex )

i will no doubt be out this week with bass direct again

 

[Struggler]

Well that confrim our previous discussion doesnt it rainbird! lol

 

[Leeshez]

Looks well indeed.

 

[jay s]
