My Odyssey PH1 A Little Different..

[tomboi24]

Hey Guys, I bought my PH1 around July time from a lad off here, It already had a few mods but I have trouble driving around in a car that hasn't had my touch on it so I got to it!

Here is how she was when I bought her:

I then bought some carbon wrap and wrapped my front badge, mirrors, bullets, and handbrake cover as it was ripspeed lol.

Then for my 21st I got an OMP steering wheel..

Stripped it..

Then fitted OMP strut braces front and back (only have pic of the front atm)

I also fitted goodridge hoses on the front as a pair came up cheap, a new alpine headunit and all the gubbings to get the steering remote to work. Since I have had it the only problem has been the speedo sensor that went the day I picked her up but a new sensor sorted that straight away, have also replaced rear brakes and bearings as they were shot, had a box put in the exhaust as it was waay to loud and police over here are exteremly anal about exhaust noise, still has a nice note though.

Random beadage pic:

Do love a bit of detailing

and a random pic:

Being a bit of a wheel ***** and not the biggest fan of the OZs that were on the car, I had these turn up...

Tasters..

Then finally got them all on after a bit of a wait...

I love them tbh I think they look better than I had planned, hating keeping them clean though especially this time of year lol, as you can see the car is only lowered on 40mm apex springs (i think) at the moment but have coilies on order so she sits a bit better

Thats it so far, my next plans are to..

1. Deck it!
2. Have sidestrips + spoiler resprayed (maybe even swap for cup spoiler)
3. Find buckets + harnesses
4. Refurb calipers a different colour
5. Get the centers to fit the wheels as they currently wont go on
6. Replace numberplates, fix wonky exhaust
7. Port match + remap, thinking about cams or even ITBs

I know the car is a bit marmite but I love it and it puts a smile on my face at least once a day

C+C Welcome.

Thanks, Tom.

 

[Kieran..]

looks epic now on these wheels!! whats the spec on the wheels? whats the offset and wheel sizes etc?

 

[tomboi24]

Thanks mate they are Rota Grids 16x8 ET10.

 

[ElkWorks]

lose the stickers, down a bit on coilovers, get pussy.

 

[Stu.]

Wheels look tits! I'd change the front lights back to standerd silver ones. Not a fan of the inserts painted black. Looks good though

 

[Mcaff]

looks great love the wheels

any more pictures side on with the rotas on?

 

[182_sport]

Did the wheels bollt straight no fiddling about jut straight on??

 

[couzens]

I do like those wheels! needs to be lowered a bit more and will look good, Not a huge fan of that center exhuast tho, or the smoked headlamps. but not a bad looking example!

 

[tomboi24]

I like the painted headlights tbh, it will be lowered more very soon, exhaust was on the car when I bought it, I would of preferred a standard hidden zorst but I love the noise this one makes and the look has grown on me. Don't have any other pictures as of yet but I will get some more once I have sorted lowz. They didnt bolt straight on I had them sent off and lathed so they would clear the brakes.

Thanks, Tom.

 

[couzens]

I know what you meen about falling for the sound, I picked mine up with a dual tip exhuast, which isn't to my liking, but I love the sound!

 

[Struggler]

Rota grids = instant win!!

 

[dmallett]

Usually im not into miss matching ph1s and ph2s but this pulls it off a treat!

As for those wheels <3

 

[hatyy]

epic wheels !!!!!

 

[Bluebeard]

Lose the stickers, lower it, bit of camber and that my friend will look brilliant!!

 

[tomboi24]

Thats the plan

 

[koi]

Looks wrong with the 182 exhaust :dapprove:

 

[dmallett]

Didn't realise your from bury! Get in the East of England section

 

[Rhys Beal]

First time I have seen it with the wheels on Tom, looks great

Coilovers and camber = Finished

Will have to sort a meet out soon!

 

[tomboi24]

Cheers buh, hopefully I will get home from work today and find a set of coilovers, so lowz tomorrrow Yeas we need to take over the cattle market with clios again lol

 

[Rhys Beal]

Sounds good man

Over xmas I have loads of bits to do on mine, including Sachs Trophy suspension, AST mounts, sportlines etc.

Which should be nice

 

[tomboi24]

Sweeet, think we should plan a track day next year

 

[Mr Burns]

I'll go with what the others are saying, does look nice dude.

 

[Rhys Beal]

Sweeet, think we should plan a track day next year

Sounds tempting, although that will probably see the end of my clutch!

A trip to Cumbria/Yorkshire would be good also

 

[tomboi24]

Small updatingz:

Gave her a wash, just a lil snap part way through:

Also got fresh plates on:

Coilies still haven't turned up, hoping they will arrive next week!

Random snap of mates Cup (172Bruce) after a good cleanidge session:

Hopefully have updates with lowz next

Thanks, Tom.

 

[cb10]

[tomboi24]

[DanielJames]

Looking good! I had that speedo randomly fail on me about 2 weeks before selling too, but it came back to normal by itself :S anyway glad it's sorted.

 

[ben lee]

Yeah kept dropping then going back to normal, but that has been the only problem so far, loving it I bet you miss it a bit

i certainly miss it. love that someone else has got it and looking after it tho, makes me smile! haha cant wait to see it with the collies on.

 

[DanielJames]

I definitely do miss it bought the wrong car though glad it went to another member

 

[Tombola]

Really like both these cars, awesome! Please put some more pics up of them when you get the chance!

 

[tomboi24]

Right, coilies finally turned up and here the results from last nights efforts:

Rear wasn't jacked up at all in this photo I promise :

Done:

Needs a major clean and need to nip the rear arches up a little for a bit more clearance, but quite chuffed with how it turned out

Thanks, Tom.

 

[samoose]

Looks loads better on the coilovers mate if anything i'd space the fronts 5-10mm now as they look a bit lost and maybe get the front down a bit more

 

[182_sport]

That clio is epic, trade for my rb 182

Truly madness

Ta mate, yeah I was thinking the same they scrub as it is though, reckon i'll just cut the inner lip off as there plastic arches.

 

[tomboi24]

Cheers dude I have way to much love for this clio lol

 

[Chri5]

I really like the Grid's, they look awsome. Makes a change to see something different from the usual 5 alloy styles
