I want a second one. Should have bought the Odessey Blue one I looked at before Christmas and convinced my step dad to help put a new engine in and mother to have "another broken car" on the drive way.

Bought this a month ago.. after crashing my old one on track

Something great is going on

I think I also saw this one for sale and looked like a really good spec, just too far away for a quick look.
What are the plans for it? Keep it standard or track?

 

[Jekyll]

@green
Are your good bits salvageable and going to be swapped from the crashed one? Was quite a decent spec.

@Dr Jekyll and @KitsonRis
My old shell was so badly damaged it wasn't worth saving:sob:. Luckerly none of the expensive parts were broken, so the Odyssey has become a donor shell for all the mods.






Should be ready Soon..hopefully will be even better than my old one.

Good suff!

It's been a while, lads! Here's our Sunflower Ph1 that my Dad and I have been restoring (planning to keep for my son when he can drive in 14 years time!). One of the two Sunflower Yellows in Australia :smile:

That sunflower is mint!

Surely it's the only sunflower in Aus?

He says one of two?

 

[Coops Mk1]

beauty that is! What suspension setup is it on as the ride height and wheel spacing looks spot on imo

 

[Chris V6 255]

That sunflower is stunning!

Thanks lads!
Only mods on it are Koni Yellows w/ Eibach Sportlines, rear Whiteline ARB and 16" OZ F1s (ET 37 from memory). Oh and a sneaky Quaife in there too (transplanted from my old car).
Aiming to keep her pretty stock and have all the original bits as she's so rare over here and the ph1 are developing a bit of a following. I'm going to be old dude in 30 years who's taking it out to car show like people are doing with 205 GTIs and Mk1 Golds now! haha

Now just need to get it together for a photoshoot with the old man's RS collection (R26, 275R, ph1 V6 and Spider) and frame some pics for the garage wall!

Got her out for a drive with the lads recently too. She went hard all day and kept some more expensive machines honest:

must just be the subtle addition of the large and pokier wheels that give it that extra bang! looks great

looking forward to sorting my new acquisition soon, love a phase 1.

only got a crappy driveway pic at the mo but that's the only place its been so far in the two weeks I've had it!

 

[robmuns]

Drive way is full of them at the minute

 

[Chris V6 255]

Would love another black ph1.

That looks lovely!

Ph1s are just so cool.

Cooler than ph2 onwards.

Yep!
Get rid of that 182 mate... haha

 

[m&l172ph1]

Decent ph1's are just getting harder to find!
They've been either tracked or broken!
We're Lucky to have 2!

 

[RSi_01]

 

[m&l172ph1]

I was looking at my wife's ph1 today thinking it needs a battery cover!
Where did you get yours?

 

[Coops Mk1]

Smash a couple of pics into here for good measure too

Not a massive fan but does look decent, those lights kill it for me though, just don't look right. Standard lights but painted would work better imo

 

[Coops Mk1]

as above, some decent bits on it but too much overall and its defo the lights that sort of ruin it. solid attempt though

Like this a lot. The splitter and willies really do make it.

Not a fan of that. It's a bit try-hard. All this carnards business on hatchbacks is not cool either.

 

[KitsonRis]

New wheels on, not so "in your face" anymore

Desparate need of a clean inside and out.

I will own a second one as my daily car...is three cars too many??

 

[Stay Puft]

Just seen this on FB, unsure if theyre on here..

Looks great!

 

[KitsonRis]

It's confirmed, I have the Ph1 disease....when my daily drive Octavia vRS is back working I am going to keep my eye out for an Odessey Blue Ph1 to have as a daily car. There has to be something wrong with me

I think they might be if it's the car I think it is.

 

[Coops Mk1]

New R.S badge fitted to grill and sunshine really flatters odyssey, colours really growing on me
