On the way back from the trip to wales the eml came on...when i got home plugged in the engine diagnostics and it was the catalyst system efficiency below threshold,3k ago had a new clutch....,front shock absorber recently replaced,....What i`m trying to say is that although the ph1 is a good car they can be a tad expensive.

imprezaworks · May 22, 2014

No more expensive than any other old car.

All cars are expensive. Touch wood all my clio's have been dirt cheap to run/maintain its just my addiction to messing about with them that makes them expensive.

imprezaworks · May 22, 2014

Agreed ^.

Looks pretty right to me

imprezaworks · May 22, 2014

Love that

Craig. · May 23, 2014

I think Barrons RB Ph1 would look better on anthracite 2118s would make it abit classier IMO or am I being daft haha.

I hate looking in this thread I always have daft thought of wanting to own a ph1 in each colour lol, the last few black ones look amazing.

Might aswell stick these in here.

Yep saw the pics yesterday after I said that comment then instantly changed my mind! As soon as I can afford it, its getting done!

WilkyWay · May 23, 2014

^^^That just doesn't look right IMO. Don't know why just looks a bit odd.
Craig. Gotta say I prefer the darker wheels. Although it still wouldn't stop me pinching your car if I knew where you lived

Chris V6 255 · May 23, 2014

Would love to see an Acid Yellow or Alien Green Ph1

BoatNonce · May 23, 2014

I'm definitely appreciating the Ph.1

We really really considered Alien Green for the track car but after seeing it in lots of different lights it seemed really hit or miss and we decided we'd spend the money making it work instead!

They weren't bought to make it handle, were bought to lower the car and at £115 wasn't complaining

Cars not driven hard so no bothered

Looks good that does, what spacers is that running?

Pipe down, that set that came on my flamer were still going strong when I sold them again when I broke the silver ph1 last year. They are indestructible, although s**t.

That set must of covered 60k by the time I sold them the second time, I wasnt even going to sell them someone offered to buy them!

Boom! I found them to be so soft that if it was set any lower than sportline height they rubbed. It meant I raised it to sportline height and then they were fine, but not as good as new shocks and sportlines which kinda defeated the whole point for me. BUT, I did make money on them so every cloud and that!

Do you not remember this car? the silver one. It didnt rub, it had no adjusters on the rear and was wound down silly low at the front. Your set were obviously to a higher level of s**t than they normally are lol

And it had 25mm / 5 mm spacers and willy wheels (higher offset iiiiirc)
