Cheers matey.
looks so fat from the front!
hope the MOT goes smoothly
I love the front of the PH1.
Thanks mate, it passed with flying colours. :race:
That plate would look perfect on my Impreza P1!
Looks good where it is too tbh. lol
Im so glad i bought the plate tbh, i did have to think long and hard though but i would have been gutted if id of missed it.
After seeing a Luna grey V6 with V6 RUK it just had to be done.
Thank you mate.
That would be fantastic dude. :approve:
So yesterday started like this.
Running all of the cables for the amp, what a pain in the ass to do. Even more so in the baking sunshine but i got there in the end.
I decided to go with the JL's in the rear. Such a big difference to the standard speakers.
I finished off fitting the amp and had a play trying to set it all up for the best sound.
So far im very happy, the sound is so much better than the Renault stuff.
So today was the cars MOT day, the MOT ran out in November last year.
It was booked in for 9am, i shot off to Asda in my van to buy 2 trays of doughnuts (the cost to mot it with a de-cat)
Got back home and started the car only for it to turn over a little slow, thought nothing of it as id been messing with the audio for quite some time the day before.
Anyhow almost got to the mot station when the car cut out because its not been mapped yet (or so i thought) managed to re-start the car as it was rolling down hill, it didn't seem to want to turn over on the key.
Once id got to the mot station i switched it off and tried to start it again, no joy it was dead!!! :dapprove:
We had to run the car on a jump pack to get it through the MOT, the guys did a alternator test and it was dead.
I though to myself that it would be fine to drive back home as its only about 5 miles away, nope i was wrong the fcuking thing cut out on me about 3 miles from home.
I had to sit in the car for over an hr in the baking sun until i could phone the wife to come out and get me, by this time it was 12 o clock and i was getting proper pissed off.
So the misses turns up in her car, i screw the towing eye into the front of my car and connect the towing bar. I gets into her car and she sits in the Clio, i pull away and we get about 50 yards down the road and bang the fcuking towing eye pulls out of the front of the Clio and is dragging along the floor still connected to the steel towing bar.
Mother fcuking cnut!!!
We are members of the RAC but didn't want to phone them as it would have taken to long, so the call to the RAC was made.
We was told that they would be with us within an hour, yeah right more like 2 1/2 hrs standing around at the side of the road in the sun. In the end the guy arrived, fitted a new battery which had enough life in it to get me home.
He followed me then took the battery away with him.
So now i have a dead car awaiting a new alternator which ive ordered from Renault and i will be fitting it on Saturday in time for its trip to RS Tuning on the 19th.
Right now i hate this car, its being a right pain in the ass.

Looks good though!!
Ph1 172 and Ph1 225
Thank you.
A quick picture from today.
This car is awesome. Just picked myself up a PH1. Booked into RS for the belts doing but my bodywork is so ropey! Two lady owners both on disability. Only 41K on the clock though and inside is immaculate. I'll be using yours as inspiration.
Spot on!!
Its f**king epic though, even if it is being a right PITA! keep up the outstanding work Scott!
Thank's dude. Its testing my patience.
Looks like a great little audio setup u have there scott
Its not to bad mate.
such a big improvement over standard aint it. got all mine sortedThank's dude. Its testing my patience.
Its not to bad mate.
got the tweeters sorted yesterday. just need an amp now
did you get the JL's from pulse in the end
what ones are u running in the front?Yes i did dude, bought it all from them apart from the Becker HU.
I might have to pop down there I need a 300 watt amp. im probably only going to amp the front ones
ill look nowRead post 1143 dude.
mate them MTX components look the nuts. the size of that magnetI decided to up grade the audio in the car and being as my HU wouldn't low pass the speakers it meant that i need to run a 5 ch amp which had these controls in it.
This was my choice, no sub yet. Once what i have is fitted then i will be taking the car to the shop and trying a few subs in the boot to see what i like.
Started to sound deaden the doors.
The MTX components are a little bit bigger.
All fitted after a bit of messing about.
The air con has been gassed with no problems, its running at 4 deg which is nice.
So yesterday i wanted to get it back on its wheels as it is booked in for its MOT 1st thing Monday morning.
Slam panel fitted.
The bonnet catch was looking a bit rusty.
New one fitted (yes the rusty nuts will be getting replaced)
It helps if you have a little 10 year old helping fit the amp power cable.
(what a s**t job)

Fair play Scott, this car is überly insane and I proper love it.
The titanium colour in my eyes the best to have.
Me and my dad are currently looking at a ph1 v6 in titanium as "our car "

Yep they are rather large dude and only just fit.
The colour is awesome in the sunshine mate, oh V6 yum yum.
Thanks alot Rich, bloody cars. lol
After chatting with my mate at work who knows all about this project and the things that i have been doing to it, he asked me if i had cleaned off the powder coating where it meets the alternator.
So after checking for resistance i found that i had 0.2 ohms from a bolt on the engine to the battery earth lead but i had 6.8 ohms from the alternators bottom bolt to the battery earth lead.
Yeah that will be the problem then, what a dick!!!
So i have cancelled the new alt from Renault and i will pulling the car to bits on Friday after work to clean off the powder coating.
So yesterday after work the car ended up looking like this.
I removed the alternator, cleaned the powder coating off and then tested it with the meter.
All good and back down to 0.2 ohms and up to 14 v when running, proper pain in the ass and a problem i could have done without.
But these arrived at work, i ordered them 2 weeks ago from Renault but the 1st pair arrived smashed.
This pair had to come direct from France.
Fitted, looking so much better.
My lights where good but the sliver backing was starting to show signs of age.
After seeing Craig's sunflower i liked the RS badge that he had fitted to the grill.
I ordered one from Renault and set about making it fit my car.

f**k sakes, theres not enough ways to say Brilliant/awesome/epic/amazing etc.
Comparing those headlights, I can see why you were being picky. Would it be too much to say silvertec bulbs? or do you want to slap me for that?
Also, you know how cars reflect the owner, everytime I see the front of your Clio, I just think of your face.

nice update! Cracking work.
Thank you mate, i have a few more bits that id like to do but at the moment im skint.
I think the other bits will be done over the winter months when the car will be off the road.
Do i need to give you my answer on the bulbs?!?!?! :banghead:
Oh and fecking lol's at the car and my face, not to sure on how to take that mate.
Yeah i know, shocking mate.

Whats next? (Parts wise)

The difference with the new headlights is huge!
The badge is a nice touch, I was going to do it to mine but I no longer have a grille to do it to
Thanks Tom, yes mate i thought my head lights where pretty mint until i bought these.

Hmmmm, next id like a diff but this is something that will be done over the winter months. There is a slight oil leak from the gearbox so i could kill two birds with one stone.
Id also fit a lighten steel flywheel while im there.
I want 4 pots as they look nice but as the brakes on these cars are so good then its at the bottom of my list for now.
I want to re-trim or replace the front seats at some point too. Im not going to say to much now. :quiet:
All of the pictures have been taken with my S4 although today i have been bought a Canon 70D which im over the moon with.
Just need to learn how to use the thing now. lol
