Hope it helps


Jack, This is the one me & the guys have been using - http://www.fastchip.nl/component/pa...acturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,26/


Think its comes in around £160-180 delivered, if you just wanna borrow mine & save a few £££ drop me a Pm mate & we can sort it in under an hour if you drop by one night


MoRpH3uS - Fastchip deliver to france right??? if not jump on the ferry & spend an hour round mine lol, The cold air feeds is still only plans, will be put together shortly mate

 

[MoRpH3uS]

lol James I wish I could go back to UK (I've been there several times), but I'm in the south of France and that would be a very long trip just to get to Calais !

About CAF, look at what I found on a Meggy mk1 :

It's the perfect caf

*** UPDATE ***

So finnaly decided to tackle the the nasty mess on the top of the lights today, only real flaw my 172 has & i sure wasnt gonna leave it that way! seems a few Ph2 172/182 suffer from this.. anyway heres what the lights looked like this morning after they were cleanned

So hit the both head lights with various grades of wet & dry sand paper then brought the shine back with my trusty Megs G220 & various polishs...

So 2 hours later...

And a nice reflection shot

James

 

[Jamesstone]

MoRpH3uS, the cold air duct form the meggy looks good mate, handy for getting to the lower grill.. but! wait to see what i have in mind, will hopefully have it put together within the next few weeks

 

[Spongebob 172]

dude you can do mine aswell mate...looking very nice

 

[RichCup]

Nice work! Got similar marks on mine, about time I got the G220 on it too lol

 

[MoRpH3uS]

James ! I didn't know that you knew wetstanding, G220, and plastic reconstruction (lol)...
I even see Meg #80 and #83 on the picture

Very good work mate, I've tried that with Meguiar's Plastix on my headlights, didn't work too well... I'll have to try out with the Makita

Thx for the meggy cold air duct I just need to fix it a little better and that's it
Can't wait to see yours !

Cheers mate, on the bottom of the page it says "calibration" and gives you the option of performance or custom, whats that all about?

sorry to spam your project thread! lol! Headlights look good!

 

[AlexG]

what grades of wet and dry paper did you use on the headlights before polishing them back up? my headlights have the same marks as yours. thanks

 

[Jamesstone]

Jack, Custom files are what hank ( fastchip owner ) designs to suit your current mods... we either use the 98ron cal or Group N rst though, both seem very similiar in power & a much improved car after the install

greenalex90, Started on 1000 grit then ended up on around 2000 grit, some parts didnt even see lower than 1800 as it just wasnt needed it, make sure you have a good polisher & polish's, there is no chance of you restoring them purely by hand..


MoRpH3uS, love my car detailing mate, freek for it lol, have had the megs G220 for a while now but think i may end up going to something like the makitta in the near future


James

 

[AlexG]

cheers mate. new pads and polish for my rotary soon so should get them good as new!

 

[couzens]

time to detail the euro machine me thinks.... picking up part one of the last few mods on saturday, the end is near

 

[Jamesstone]

Thought you were detailing it last saturday lol, com'on couz, get your finger out :rasp:

 

[Jamesstone]

cheers mate. new pads and polish for my rotary soon so should get them good as new!

No worrys mate , Its tough cutting back through the plastic so dont go mad with the wet & dry lol

 

[couzens]

weather as normal lol!

 

[Ash87]

lights came up well, need to sort mine out somewhen.

 

[remix16v]

just sat and read all pages of your thread and am very jealous of your speed, and mostly your skill at doing all these bits yourself.

and top job for finding such a cheap bargain and transforming it!

Thanks mate , It hasnt all been plain sailing, all the work has been carried out by my self & i'm very happy to be able to say that but it has been trial & error from previous cars/motorbikes.. years of practice has got me fairly handy with most parts working on cars.. i say years of practice but i'm only 21 :rasp:

But saying this, i do owe alot to the guys on here for in put & help as i have had alot of road blocks during the work but it is french so i would be a fool to think it would all go to plan lol, so thanks to all those that have helped out so far

Thanks mate , would be more than happy to take you out in it for a spin, least i could do after you took me on my first ever Vee ride , according to my sources, my 172 ( 184.5 ) power to weight ratio is better than a v6, so would be good to see what there like side by side, of course on a private air strip


James

 

[ddouble]

haha yeah man sure, all in the intrest of science naturally!!

ive still not had a 1*2 give me any grief so will be intresting!!!

On my 'ahem "private run way" from 0-125ish (just changed into 5th) I was in front of my mates Vee all the way.. it was only until I went into 5th gear he crept past me then the lead increased in his favour :approve: but saying that we both calmed down at that speed.. LOL!

 

[Jamesstone]

Good finding's gray, V6 slayer could be my new profile , clad you carried out your tests in safe conditions lol

 

[ChrisD172]

How did you do your head lights mate? Want to do the same to mine soon

 

[Jamesstone]

Wet & dry sand paper, Megs G220 polisher & various polish's, wouldnt suggest attempting it by hand, took me 2 hours by machine polisher lol

 

[Gray]

*** UP-DATE ***

Big change of plans since having some one smash into my 172 -

:dead::dead::dead:


Luckily he has admitted it all & its all getting sorted, but something crossed my mind that i never really took into account... what would happen if i wrote this off on the track, probarbly be seriously fooked & no insurance to fall back on so could be tears... well the would to be run around PH1 is now going to be the track weapon, with the full strip out :evil:

So work has began - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=365856


PH2 will have the coillys removed & put on some thing along the lines of apex springs for the sweet look but will mainly just be cosmetic mods, got one final thing left to do, should be complete soon!

Thing feels heavy with tall the seats etc back in :dead:


James

 

[Jamesstone]

*** UP-DATE ***

Well its been a while since the PH2 project thread has been updated due to the track **** taking over & falling outta of love with the PH2 due to the smash & having all the coil overs & bucket seats removed.. so i had to do some thing! First on the list was apex springs as i just wanted the look as i have the coillys on the PH1 172 if i wanna drive like a tool round the bends, so a week on & they have bedded nicely & the ride height is smart for just springs, handling is really good too which is ace, comfort is gone but there far from comfy in the first place lol

Next on the list was to add the finishing touch to the carbon bits, so got into gear & ordered some stickers from N2grafix, very happy with the results, top work guys!

Also got some PH2 172 seats from tranny B off here, had a fun drive to pick them up, some sweet roads around oxford :evil:

Picked up some aero wipers last week too, very impressed with them & they look much more modern

Few other little bits have been done but main focus is to complete the track **** for the rolling road!

 

[MoRpH3uS]

I love the carbon inside your car

I wish I could have a cup spoiler too

 

[joshhatton]

dude where they the blades i sold you?
