Sorry mistook it for a confused, hand touching chin emoji. Nice buy btw. I went to see it when it was up for auction last year. What are your plans for it? Is it rot free?

Yeah it was a bargain imo. Just how it goes at auctions sometimes.I was watching that oneI didn't think it went for a lot of money, considering it looked in pretty good condition from the pics

Bodywork, interior, engine bay are like a 2 year old car apart from the smallest bit of bubbling at the bottom of an arch. Bit of surface rust on a few bits underneath, bottom arm, driveshaft, shocks that I’ll be replacing over time.
Was the seller ok with the price he sold it at?

Would have liked more but he knows how it goes, cc gave him a £4-5k price range.

Not really worth cabbaging yourself over £200 when those ones compress your spine into jelly

Finally back in a ph1 after a long hiatus which will a company my 96 spec DC2 which is currently in the process of having a full resto.
Pictures show the car when it was purchased and its current state, just awaiting a free slot to have new sills welded in and the rear quarters blown over.
At present i have fitted a one of my spare Recaro pole position's on a Jon foz subframe with sliders, Cup spoiler and a set of f1's which i had saved for when i returned to the clio club.
Awaiting delivery of my Comptech 4 pots.
On the look out for the following parts;
PMS Shifter
PMS top mounts and brace
LSD or LSD Box
Ph1 Steering wheel boss and sabelt racing steering wheel
Will enjoy the car this summer whilst finishing the Integra and take it off the winter to carry out a under body resto.
How i got her
Current state
Never seen one go here and i have broken over 15 ph1s in my time.
Dressed it back and treated the rust, ready for my welder to inspect and decide how to proceed.

Sounds good mate
I do now offer a transport service as have had to collect many friends from croft due to mechanical issues.
Also going forward, i will have a 2 bed property to airbnb with space for people to store track cars or even garage space if required.
Nice to see another one saved. I bet of the 15 or so you broke in the past many were in better condition in terms of rust?

There was actually one that was worse than this which had a roof tile fall on its roof when it was 3 months old and was repaired not written off but the work was shocking.
However, this PH1 is a keeper for me
Currently stock piling parts whilst i await delivery of my LSD
Can someone also provide a link to these clips;

Ph1 is going in for both sillsto be replaced.
Then i can fit all the parts i have stock piled for her ready summer.
Basically a full end refresh
Offering up some new wheels, Renault 19 Speedlines. I know they’re a bit marmite, but I like them and think they suit the early ph1. Plus they were local and too cheap not to! Going in for a refurb soon, think these will look better in a matte light silver or an off-white. Not sure if anthracite will suit them…

Had the f1s on my 182 for a change while the poor 172 sat on these.
Got the f1s cleaned up and put back on.
First time on the road since September and although I don’t go exactly mental in the 182 I find myself driving this like a 70 year old on a Sunday 😂

This is the worse thread on the forum. I hate it.
Makes me want to get my Ph1 in a showroom condition again and a full restoration work on it. Or buy another one and do what I said I would do with my current one and make it standard with a few nice extras and restored until I lost the plot and put ITBs on it.

Mine needs paint and I always wonder if I should change it to odyssey blue. It’s my favourite colour for them. Had an option to buy one about 10 years ago, should have done it.
Do like the gear gaiter on yours.

Looks great on track, what suspension are you running? Need to make a decision on what to buy/fit to mine got a leaking rear shock that needs replacing

I’ve got Bilstein B14’s on mine. They are good and do the job well for what I use my car for. But if I were to do it again I’d go for BC Racing coil overs. Had them on my old Ph1 and just had a set fitted to my Z3 and they just feel a lot better.

Shouldn't have sold my B14's 😂 thought it was a good idea at the time, interesting about the BC's, see them used on lots of other cars, are they a similar kind of price to the B14's? Mines probably not going to see track time just road/fast road
