My Ph1 172

[Jimbo_M]

Epic wheel mate i love mine...just wait till your cared to touch it lol.

My airbag light comes on sometimes and i fitted mine with the OMP kit dude :s

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Yeah it's an awesome wheel I love the size of it. Cool I think the resistor might not be plugged in right. Do I need to disconnect the battery again of I'm fiddling with the resistor in the airbag plug?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Few more photos I took today they're not the best as I took them on my IPhone.

 

[Jimbo_M]

I would disconnect it mate. Car is looking nice mind.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Had a fiddle around with it again today and the lights are still on quite annoying at night when driving. Yeah I'm quite happy with how it's looking now though and the ride height is spot on I think.

Spec to date:

Itg panel filter
Ktec stealth exhaust (to be replaced with a BTB system)
Rs tuner 98ron map
Powerflex dogbone mount
Brand new 172 cup shocks all round
Eibach sportline springs
Eibach camber bolts
Whiteline rear arb
RS Sabelt steering wheel

Handles absolutely superb on this setup.

Up my way scouting for bum?

Looks great mate. The wheel change makes the Clio feel like a different car.

Haha! Nah kicking the arse out the car as you do. Drive past your pad on the way back seen your shed sitting. As for the wheel it really surprised me the way it has transformed driving the car you can turn in alot tighter and quicker that I could with the standard bus wheel.

Swap you for your trophy I want a meg lol.

Bit of an update:

Got the BTB stealth system fitted on monday and it sound awesome. I didn't quite know what to expect sound wise but it sounds really quiet when cruising along the motorway but when you put the foot down its got a nice rip to it and quite raspy so I'm thoroughly pleased with the sound. Fitment wise it's spot on could'nt get any better imo and the extra hanger for the backbox is a brilliant idea too.

Overall I'm happy with the car just now I've been thinking about selling up and buying an Integra type r but I don't think I could part with my ph1 :clown:

 

[Stu.]

lol dont you dare sell! If you do I'll swap you a K-tec for the BTB and man love for the sabelt wheel (just getting in there first ey) Want to see + hear it soon!

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Lol Sabelt wheel & BTB exhausts are for hereos. Nah can't see me selling stu I want to get on track this year too so the Clio is deffo staying for that.

 

[Stu.]

Well. Sabelt wheel is anyway And good man. When you thinking of getting on track?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Not sure mate probs when John & Dave are going to do it not sure. You?

 

[Gaz85]

Looking good stevo love the wheel! So much better with a good one! My one is all smooth so need to see what I can do or buy a new one

 

[Jimbo_M]

Lol Sabelt wheel & BTB exhausts are for hereos.

Damn right loving your ph1 pal.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Cheers mate. I've fallen in love with it again after having the btb fitted

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Bit of an update. The ph1 will be up for sale in the next week or so as I've just bought this http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3657991.htm. Going to miss the Ph1 but I'm loving the Trophy and I couldn't turn down the price I got it for either.

If anyone is interested in the Ph1 please feel free to PM me.

 

[Djw John]

Tart. did you ever power flex the dogbone bush?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Couldn't help myself .Yeah had it on for ages John makes a nice difference.

 

[Djw John]

How much to swap them over?! I'll do the work obviously! Are you using the trophy daily yet? Bringing it on sat?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Tell you what John, I need my magnecore ht leads taken off the ph1 and put on the trophy and vice versa. If you could do that for me too as I'm not sure about taking the plenum off I'll take £10 for the dogbone powerflex.

 

[Djw John]

What and a tenner?! You Drive a tough deal, I'll do all the work and show off my bumcrack throughout, how does that sound? ccould swap over the air boxes whilst I was at it if you like?

 

[.GAZ.]

Should've went for the R32.

You my friend have a deal!

 

[.Stevo.C.]

After looking into running costs and how expensive the are to fix I just went right off them plus for a 3.2 and the noise they make I would expect it to be a good bit quicker than a 1*2. Don't get me wrong they are lovely motors yours especially is a beauty but I just went right off them.

 

[Djw John]

Sweet, I'll text you tomorrow and we can sort out where and when

It's not supposed to be rapid, it's a cruiser.

(if that makes any sense)

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Aye I know what you mean. I want something fun as my car is only used at weekends and you can't go wrong with a Trophy Gaz

 

[.GAZ.]

Will be worth £3k in a year

better with a 330d then

 

[.GAZ.]

My ARSE!!!

You will have spent more than that in a year on petrol . A price of a car only really matters if your selling it which I wont be.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Not a bad driveway, shame the ph1 has to go though.

 

[Cupman29]

They look good together!

Shame.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

I just watched the new owner driveway just now Steven. I'm gutted

 

[Djw Dave]

Bye bye ph1

 

[Cupman29]

​

Man hug your way mate! Feeling your pain.

Should do what I do and never sell a car, just accumulate them.

 

[Djw John]

That didn't take long, anyone we know?
