Our new ph1 172

[172PH1]

It literally took around 15 mins. Once the shaft is out of the hub clean it up with a wire wheel and just gently tap the new one on evenly all the way round

 

[172PH1]

Gave it a good overdue clean whilst in work on Saturday and fitted front and rear wheel spacers. Just need to raise the rear up a tad as it was catching with the little one in and some bits in the boot, but what a difference they make it look

Took the little one and wife around Donnington for the family drive of Donnington f1 circuit. She was giggling the whole way round

The car now looks like this

Ah cool.

I used to own one but got rid of it after 6 months as it was a bit OTT for road use - i'm clocking on now - and it couldn't hold a candle to my Clio Sport 182 on most of the UK circuits.

Decent Ring machine though on those long straights where the Clio is just pants 😂 Horses for courses i guess.

1st track day booked

Oulton park 29th January

 

[172PH1]

New OMP 300 wheel and boss bought for the Clio. Just need to get the airbag bypass resistor sorted then it can go on

Where are people getting the bypass loom from?

 

[KitsonRis]

Something like THIS
But I saw on another thread that the resistors need to be a certain type (carbon or not carbon??) as they won’t work. I will stand corrected on that. I should know if this is rubbish as I studied physics at uni so did loads of electronics.

Took the little Frenchie on my 1st track day at Oulton few weeks ago. Car performed perfectly without fault. Couldn't stop smiling all day

love it seeing all this make me want to get on with mine!!!

 

[172PH1]

Haha they are great fun aint they

 

[172PH1]

Treated it to a new set of navy mats. For £19 quid they are decent enough

Finally got around to fitting my omp 300 steering wheel

Bumped into a lad who parked next to us in his red trophy

I'll hopefully be heading to the Motorist this Saturday for their 'Fabulously French' event in my Phase 1, if it makes it out of the paint shop in time. Would be good to see another Phase 1 there, even if you did just go last weekend!

 

[172PH1]

Ahh i forgot it was this saturday, ill be picking my van up from having its engine conversion and exhaust made

 

[KevC]

Bit of a thread revival but I enjoyed reading that. A lot more effort than the few posts show I'm sure!

@chazza114 pointed me in this direction after seeing my problems with rust. Was that a carbodypanels4u box I saw in one of those pictures? How did you find the quality?

 

[Armchairracer]

As I said I moved up from that after many years into a 172 cup

I own that Cup now ..prob had it over 3 yrs now ..As a matter of interest where did you get the welding done ? My rear arches are starting to rust and I need a recommend for a decent garage to sort them..I'm in Manchester 👍
