Out in the sticks (with coilovers now on)

[bill]

looks spot on fella, what camera did you use? i need a decent one, sick if sh.it pics lol

 

[Brian172]

That's as good as a Ph1 can look imo, neat and purposeful. Love it.

+1
Looks excellent.

 

[st3ve]

Looks sweet that does. I'm not overly keen on ph1's but this one does look good.

 

[m0ssy]

Looks awesome on the coilies with the 3/4 plate!

 

[Hutchie]

front end needs spacers the wheels look mega tucked

 

[BIFCAIDS]

i agree but it's the look i wanted to go for, not to all tastes i understand

its not that its not to my taste its just the fact it looks it, might look fine in person though

 

[Chris205]

very nice, although you now make me want mine back

Only thing I'm not too keen on is the front plate, just doesnt look right because of the bigger recess



dare i say it....yellow fogs :rasp:

[yellowbelly]

i don't think so, it rubs on full lock as it is but thanks.

 

[VIICarCare]

looks bloody ace that

It's a Sony A200 with just an 18-55 lens, got it last year and have been very happy with it.

Do you expect driveshaft/cv boot problems running it this low?

 

[yellowbelly]

Do you expect driveshaft/cv boot problems running it this low?

possibly but tbh for the amount of driving i do i'm happy to risk it.
i has a VTS some years ago which was lower than this and the only problem i got on that due to the low-ness was a leaking power steering fluid hose from the front arm rubbing on it so say.

 

[SymonSi84]

I like it, just perfect.

 

[yellowbelly]

I like it, just perfect.

why thank you:approve:

 

[Nafoff]

have you double checked your driveshafts aren't fowling the chassis?

??? can i have that in english please mate

 

[Chris2007]

I love PH1's when they are slammed

 

[DrR]

Looks mint, but how anyone can even drive there car the slitest bit fast like that is beyond me.

Me to however i felt like i was driving this the other day when it snowed...

 

[Gez08]

really??? what did you not understand?

 

[yellowbelly]

really??? what did you not understand?

what should i be looking out for? some part touching another?

I'm crap when it comes to the mechanics

 

[Tigger]

Looks fantastic!

May I say, your alloys look great but why are they hiding?

ah ok...sorry, lol

yeah mate, your driveshaft (the shaft coming into the wheel arch from the engine (meeting the bottom of the suspension)),
just check whilst the car is on the deck that the chassis is not sat on it, otherwise your suspension will basically be doing nothing and you will be out of driveshafts pretty quick (if you haven't lost control first), yes it is that serious

Wouldn't this have been spotted when they were fitted?
I shall see if i can spot anything dubious

 

[Nafoff]

should of been if they were fitted at a garage, but sometimes that doesn't stop people...

at one point mine had been lowered to far on to the chassis, i was pretty outraged tbh, so dangerous, will only take 2 seconds to check, defo worth it

Well they were fitted by a mate who runs a garage.
might go take some snaps and post them up ?

 

[nick.]

perfect ph1, no more needed to be said.

 

[Jamie]

Looks good. I'd get some 16" F1's on there.

No chance!!! wouldn't want 16's

 

[Jamie]

I think they look loads better.

Having another look through your pics too and they're really good. Worth the effort.

thanks alot mate, very kind - good use of boredom

 

[Chris205]

Mine was sat on the shafts, well pretty much, it used to rub on them over every slight bump, in the end it just rubbed a hole in the plastic/chassis

Chassis notching is your friend but from the pics it doesnt look as low as mine so you shouldnt have any issue's mate



Yellow - i did a p.x with a mate for a 106 rallye 16v, i took the coils, cup spoiler etc off the clio so if I saw it again I wouldnt want it back lol

thanks i didn't think mine was the lowest, good to know.

odd choice, i nearly bought one 6 months ago but decided they were a bit too boyish if that makes sense (compared to a clio:S)

Quick though with the right work done to them, standard cams?

why the change for that then

 

[Olliec]

Glad to see you are improving it Lee! Looks great.

 

[jdh91]

love the stance and 3/4 plate suits perfectly.

 

[Adamio]

Looks very nice

 

[CountryBumpkin.]

looks awesome. were did you take those photo's?
