Just seen this mate, car looks great, I am on the look out for a Phase 1, just hope I can find one as good. Don't worry about being 37 mate, I am 40 and probably look silly driving mine, but do I care NO, my mates who have driven my car fully understand the love for these little cars. Really wish I had of seen the car at Css.

Thanks Dom, yeah i love it.

I want this car in my life :( Such a credit to you mate! Very jealous, THE perfect Ph1.

I was going to ask how much the handles were, my driver's one is cracked so will replace both. Will be phoning on Adam friday to order along with a coil pack and leads!

Good stuff, there are a few things i still want to do. Thanks for the comments :)

F*ck off Dom are you 40?! Looking good for your age!

​So much love for this ph1. What's next to change Scott?
Click to expand...

I have bought a number for it...:D

My pockets hurt a bit at the moment mate, next thing is spacers 10mm on the rear with -1 and maybe 15mm on the front. Oh and getting my spare set of F1s sorted as you know im not happy with mine.
Id like Wilwoods brakes, Schrick cams and a re-map.
Few bits in the engine bay to be powder coated.
I might change the Spax coilovers for KW V2s (not high on the list though)
After seeing the SC cars at CSS id love one, but i can not justify the 10k to do it right

Looks stunning as ever, polishes up so well, I need to spend a day on mine claying/polishing/waxing. I'm looking at cams too, cost wise most probably 421's or 438's, won't be until next year when the belts are due.

Thanks mate, whats the difference between the two cams?
I dont use my car as a daily so if the car runs a bit lumpy its not such a problem.

Talk to Danny at 519/Fred at BTM regarding cams. You'll become wise, or bored, but either way you'll be better informed ;)

Considered trying to get hold of a bargain second hand ITB setup?

Lol at the thought of Scott cutting bits and pieces! Obviously you can get the smaller trumpets etc but that's just a waste of time.

Get cams and a decent map IMO.

Re: My PH1 172

So ive been thinking for a while about buying a plate for the car but did not know what i wanted.
As i don't have a middle name it makes it a little harder, so i thought id try and get something about the car.

The stuff with TOY, WOW, OCD etc... had all gone.

After going to CSS i saw a V6 225 with the reg V6 RUK, went to bed on the sunday night thinking about it, got up the next morning and put the reg i wanted into the DVLA site and boom there it was.
Im over the moon and it suits the car so well..:D

Re: My PH1 172

Looking at that size, you should shorten the front plate to like 480-490mm IMO. Will suit the lettering more so.
Awesome plate, awesome car. What's next?

Re: My PH1 172

So at last i have bitten the bullet and bought some wheel spacers, i got the 10 mm - 1 from Dan @ M.A.D.

I also ordered 20 mm FK for the fronts from Venom Motorsport as i thought they where a bit cheaper than Dans, but after waiting for 3 weeks i contacted Venom to be told that they still haven't got them in.
They said they do have the 25 mm on the shelf and could be sent out to me on Monday, so this is what i have got.

Once i get time to fit them and if i feel that they stick out a bit to much then i can take them to work and machine them down a bit.

Spacers from Dan, complete with S/steel fixings.

Fitted the rear spacers at the weekend, one of the jobs i want to do over the winter months is to remove and strip the rear beam and get everything powdered coated in black.

Re: My PH1 172

Re: My PH1 172

I had FK 25mm on my car a while ago when it was lowered on Eibach Sportlines but as it didn't sit low enough it looked odd, so i sold them...lol

I will fit the 25 and take a few picts mate, then i will properly get them turned down at work to 20mm. :)

Re: My PH1 172

I think if my side strip s where painted sliver then it might look ok mate.

I did hold them up against the car and tbh they stood out as looking a bit odd.

Gutted as the correct ones can no longer be bought from Renault. :(

Looking fwd to pics with the spacers on

Re: My PH1 172

Yes mate the rears where easy.
I put the 25mm fronts on last night just to check but in my eyes it still looks to much even with my car on coilovers.

Ive brought them to work as I thought I could turn them down by 5mm to 20mm but this is not that easy.

Going to call Venom to try and send them back and ill order the 20mm from Dan.
