Project Ph-OneSevenTwo

Re: Project Ph-OneSevenTwo - Phase 2 Dash Update

I want one. But I just got my airbag lights turned off at RS Murrays in Leeds for £50 : / it would f**k me off for them to come back on haha.

With a resistor yours should go off anyway mate, so shouldn't cause you too much hassle.

It's a lovely wheel and is literally my favourite thing about the car, totally changes the way it drives.

even carpet some effort! i will have to gather the bits and get rid of the 2tone dash

will looks great once the Recaro's are in. quite a few Ph1's with them now

lol yeah, a few bits were done for me before I bought it, the rest I've done.

Didn't realise your ph1 has Recaro's, awesome! Can't wait to fit mine!!!

I wrote a full parts list for someone the other day so if you want it let me know and I'll pm you over what you need.

It's definitely a great thing to be rid of the ph1 dash. I'm very happy with it in the cabin at the moment, the Recaro's will be the icing on the cake

Re: Project Ph-OneSevenTwo - Phase 2 Dash Update

yeah i was running 1 Recaro for about a year then decided to get the other fixed, doesnt leave much room in the back for passengers but meh

if you could PM the list that would be great!

Re: Project Ph-OneSevenTwo - Phase 2 Dash Update

Ph1 ftw though x

Re: Project Ph-OneSevenTwo - Phase 2 Dash Update

Sarcastic fucker! It's ok, I know you're just jealous

Cheers mate, can't wait to pick up the seats now, that finished the interior, then it's just the exterior left...

 

[Rob]

Finally, after wanting these seats for a LONG time, I've managed to get myself some Recaro's.

Yes the car's filthy, but the wheels are clean, enjoy:

 

[adam172]

FIT!

 

[Rob]

Cheers mate, we'll have to get a few shots together, I think they're a quite good pair, but still very different.

Spacers, plates, ph2 boot... I don't think I'll ever stop.

 

[adam172]

should have just brought a ph2 and changed the bonnet, lights, bumper and wings lol

oh and you know I said I had some cheap spacers, well I cant find them. BUT I do have a pair of 25mm eibach hubcentric ones with the proper bolts ect..... (be about £35 though)

 

[Rob]

So, I got a little bored tonight and made a list of everything I've changed so far, like a new car underneath!

Alpine headunit and uprated speakers
Fitted foglights

New balljoints
New standard top mounts
Fitted and then removed a ph2 rear bumper
New windscreen

i really like this rob.

just read the whole thread too, good read. i like ph2 bumpers on ph1 but for some reason your looks better original.

great upgrades on the seats and dash. love the wheels too but ive said that all along.

 

[Rob]

Cheers mate, I've not been very good with documenting what I've done to it TBH, but it's better than nothing.

The wheels will go standard when I kill the tyres or get bored! I just like changing things I think

 

[pedro.belintani]

looks pretty nice !!

 

[Wazza182]

Cracking job Rob, a lot of time and effort gone into this project.

 

[ROB91]

Seats look really good.....

 

[Kieran..]

can i have your seats please ?

 

[Will.]

Seeing that gear knob in that pic above has convinced me to put one in mine. I hate the ph2 one.

 

[Gally]

What stage will it be at for CSS mate? As is now?

 

[Russ_16v]

Meh, spose it looks alright

[Rob]

It may have f1's on it, but it will have spacers, 100%.

I need to have it detailed at some point soon, but I just don't want to spend the £££

^ EFA...

Freezer beers? There were none left in the freezer by me!!!!

 

[Budgie]

[Jamesstone]

[Rob]

Cheers James, long time no see.

I haven't I'm afraid, I swapped these out for mine +Cash.

Anyway, the reason for the update:

"Wick" took some rather nice pictures of my motor the other night in Bluewater, and we went out for a rather spirited blast.

[Russ_16v]

I wouldnt have noticed the splitter if you hadnt have said lol

 

[Rob]

Nothing a quick photoshop won't fix

It gets abused in such a manner, that it'll never be perfect. (the splitter)

 

[Wick]

spirited blast.

Some argue that PH1>PH2

Others argue that PH2>PH1

We can now confirm however that PH1 is = to PH2*

*apart from in the corners

Very true indeed sir.

(for those that are wondering, from 45 - I'm-not-going-to-say-how-fast, they were DEAD even).

Mileage for both cars is only about 400m apart.

 

[Bluebeard]

Smooth bonnet is the best ph1 mod EVER!!!

 

[Struggler]

paradas are very good looking tyres, and smooth bonnets look awsome on ph1s!!

great looking car, completely OEM+

 

[Rob]

I'm hopefully having it re-smoothed and repainted soon along with the bumper. (about the only thing letting it down is front end paint now)

Miss this car yet?

Cheers mate, I can't believe how many people care about how nice my tyres are! Hah!!!

 

[Rob]

This weekend saw a service and proper clean over at "Giraffe Motor's"

Oil and filter changed, air filter cleaned, two new balljoints.

Just need a new driveshaft (to hopefully stop my ticking) and then the tracking done.

Oh and to pick up the 25mm spacers I've had sitting waiting for me for ages (sorry).

More updates soon.

I'll say it for the last time, when the tyres are through, the f1's will go on.

That's Mr Giraffe for you, pro with that lance now days..

 

[Nickson]

Alright alright!

What exhaust you got on there mate?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Giraffe Motors !? Sounds like some kind of dodgy African version of Daniels place !

Ahem... it's GiraffeSport HQ if you don't mind, and yes, I do appear to have got the hang of my lance haha

Needs F1s NOW !

 

[Rob]

Alright alright!

What exhaust you got on there mate?

Full custom build from scratch, by powerflow.

Was created to be as quiet as possible without affecting flow. My perfect exhaust.

LOL! My apologies amigo, but yeah, the lance is certainly useful.
