  A special one.
News just in

"Essex heartthrob builds better than new Renault ph1 from ground up"

Tbf this should actually be in a magazine.

Flol, that would be a nice thing for the cars history mate. :D

Nice to meet you again today mate. Actually gutted you didn't bring the ph1 down lol.

Sorry i had to shoot off. Did you guys spend much longer doing the timing?

Great to meet you again Martin, yeah sorry about that but you will be able to see it at CSS. :cool:
I left at 2.30 ish with the timing spot on. :)

You're absolutely right. Gagging to get it home and to get out and drive it!

I went out this morning for a lovely drive out to a breakfast meet on a air field, the car felt epic although its a little loud. :eek:

Much appreciated for your help mate!

Back to work for me today :)

Always welcome mate.


Hey up mate.

Cheers dude. :D
 
Sorry dude, no vids as i don't own a gopro

Yes mate you sure will. :approve:

Miles cheaper than a gopro and just as good if not better. As a go pro owner and users I plan to get the above camera to add to my video cameras..

Glad your enjoying it after a long time off road


Yes mate, i took it out on Sunday morning to meet up with a few of the lads off of here and then i had my brother-in-laws wedding on the Monday. Had to boot full of our stuff and the 2 kids in the back.

Its quite happy to plod along and is fine in traffic, although it doesn't like to be sitting at low revs at 40 mph but from low speeds it pulls like a train until the limiter. :approve:

I was worried that i wouldn't like the cams as i liked the "5k" kick but with the 421's the revs get to 5k ish and it pulls even harder than it did before, oh and the noise fcuk me its loud but epic at the same time.

Its now just got over 50k, seems like a life time away i bought it with 39k.

Need to get myself another ph1. Been looking but they are always 300 miles away. Looks like I may have a new Job which means I won't need a car to commute as I will be getting the bus into city centre as no parking and will just need a car as a toy and the 330 would be a waste sitting on my drive. Or maybe a nice scoob
 
I've just been through this entire thread again. All 22 pages. And looked at every single photo.

I know i've said it already a few times. But f**k me. What a car you've built yourself. Absolutely amazing and I am extremely jealous to be honest.

Mint is understatement. Proper credit to you mate.

Sorry to jump your thread Scott.
No plans to sell after just fitting a btb exhaust and bilsteins there's nobody who will pay me what I'd want for it. . Reckon it'll get broken tbf if I hit hard times ;)

What do you think it will do now as in 0-60, 0-100 and top speed now?

Haven't got a clue mate and tbh i've only driven the car about 3 times since having it back. Anyhow i have no way of getting the times even if i wanted to.

So last year i went to see my trimmer about making me some front mats as my drivers side was starting to show signs of age, it was only yesterday i went to collect them as he had lost my phone number so he was unable to call me. :(

I wanted them to be made the same as the factory items but after going through his carpet samples this is the only one i could find that i liked. There was no way i was fitting the later black mats as they don't match with anything in the car and imo they look odd.

I had the edges bound in grey leather to add a nice little touch. :cool: I think ill get the rear one made now. :)

That's ridiculous. Absolute credit to you. I know others have said it's one of the best ph1's out there but I can't think of one that would sit higher up the list than this.

Incredible.
 
  Many.
Finally the pictures show what it looks like in real life!

Really captured the engine cover paintwork. I do still prefer it without!
