PH2 Clio 172 Cup . . .
Picked up a pair of pole positions on Friday night.
Saturday morning i set about getting them fitted, out with the old seats, carpets and other general crap.
Drivers side, in and fixed.
And finally the finished product. Before being hoovered
Actually love the seats, so comfy! And give such a better supported drive and position.
Next
Got some 3 point harnesses on the way, so ill get them fixed in this week, and lose the seatbelts, that are temporarily held in!
Coilovers are going, apex springs are going on and new coilovers on 05/10
And possibly move the seats, as i mounted them a bit to far towards the edge of the car, could do with being about an inch towards the centre.
Oh and fix the window again, as it broke for the 10th time since owning this car haha
Pretty pleased!

Zetec YO!!!!!
Awesome, I have to slow down and look every time I drive past.
Black, to keep it nice and subtle
As for the seats, put the side mounts onto some 6mm steel bar, then put some big bolts through the bar onto the exsisting floor plan.
Used high tensile bolts of course.
Probably not the best way, but seems plenty strong/sturdy enough to me. Though you do sit very low now!

I'll do it tonight, your more than welcome to come have a look at somepoint
Got 2 TRS clubman harnesses at the weekend, got them off ebay pretty much two for the price of one compared to demontweeks
Seem alright, easy to get on and comfy so far (considering ive only done about 50miles since fitting the seats haha)
Fitted easy, eyelets in the original rear seat belt holes, hooked onto the original rail the existing seatbelts used.
Hardest bit was the eyelets near the handbrake, got some 6mm thick spreader plates made with a bolt welded on, dropped the eyelet through the old seat hole and tightened them up.
All worked realy well and seem secure enough to me
Few pics. (Apologies for the poor qaulity, quick snaps in between rain!)
And one of the awful height the car is currently sitting at on apex springs roll on the 5th....
And finally a few pics i never posted from an EA meet in September, props to Liquid Yellow 182 for the pics.

I hear you got the sunflower!

Win! From what you said it should end a nice car!
It already is a nice car!! lol
Haha, that's true! It will end better, that ok? Lol
Tedious jobs today.
First of ditched the rubbish alan key bolts in the recaros, for some standard bolts.
Moved my seat so im actually in line with the steering wheel.
And worst of all i re-routed all of the wiring in the back of the car so its nice and clean, utter b**ch of a job to do. Looks awsome.
Got rear carbon door and boot cards on the way and coilovers saturday at long last!
Ohhh and East of England rolling road day at Ipswich,
Ill get some pics when its reasonably light.

Went to 519 automotive today, got the spax RSX kit fitted
Pretty glad i decided to get them fitted, as at least i know theyre all on properly and i wont risk damaging them through my sloppy skills
Dan is a proper sound guy and had it done in no time, handles amazingly. So im very happy! No more bouncing all over the road.
Sitting fairly high atm, might lower it a tad, even though i know its not all about the lows.
Few pics of the coilovers, and a few after i washed it ready for tomorrows RR if i make more than 160bhp I will be happy lol.
Whiteline ARB next friday, and some some spacers at some point

holy s**t that looks sweet love the colour combo :hail:
tempted to ditch the white soon, the wheels are getting permantly grubby and turning like a egg shell colour however hard i clean them.
Might do them like anthracite colour or something, unsure as of yet.
Another pic, of my free spax hat and stickers haha

Few pics from the EA rolling road day, made 162bhp and 138lbft (or however you write it) Actually pretty happy with that, engine seems fairly healthy considering its 100% standard and over due a decent service
Oh and its only now running in at 70k

Zetec YO!!!!!
I personally like PH2 rears on PH1's, if you don't like surely you could sell them on without much of a loss?
That's true! Tbh I think ill leave it , money better spent else where
Cheers old coilovers are long gone!
With the seats you can barely notice them from outside, because theyre so low, black and have black harnesses.
Bucket seats made a massive difference

You know the moon? Well.......
Standard seats weigh about 25kg, the recaros are under 10kg with sidemounts, that's a fair bit really.
I did get the wheel off you, im not to keen on the wheel now, gona swap it for an omp trecento soon, as my mates offered to buy this
Ohh picking up whiteline rear ARB tonight solid engine mounts next weekend also

Whiteline ARB went on today handles even better than before, it actualy feels like a completely different car to drive than it did two weeks ago. Absolutely love this thing at the moment.
Also lowered it 10mm all round, think ill leave it there tbh.
Whiteline fitted.
Wires hidden and the general mess thats the back of my car.
And abit of whoring.
