unfortunately they did not arrive in our country, we occupied a national chassis to transfer everything from a car imported from Japan.

Took the old shed out to the top of Hartside again for that obligatory sunset picture.

Just out of interest, is anyone in here running a RS2 Inlet on their Phase 1? I'm curious as to how it works with the throttle cable set up. And also, is it worth doing?

 

[Coops Mk1]

Technically I am, but in a mk1 shell. Just uses the cable throttle body and wiring loom and mapped to suit. Did nicely with supporting mods

Sweet that's good to know. I'm guessing I won't need to re-wire anything, it's more just a case of moving plugs around? And any idea what kind of power I'd be making alongside a 182 manifold, decat and PMS exhaust?

 

[Coops Mk1]

Yeah just shift wiring a bit and I had to lash up the idle control circuit too.

Erm that's open ended, mine did 178bhp stock, then final spec is currently rs2, 197 cams on 7 degree inlet advance, 197 injectors, 182 exhaust manifold and did 212bhp

Titanium out and about yesterday in the sunshine, had a delivery to make so took the Clio 😃

 

[chazza114]

Said goodbye to the Megane this week, was a properly nice car but was the right time to sell it. Plus I get to spend more on the Phase 1 as well which is a nice bonus. They did look good together!

 

[RSi_01]

Hi guys, here some PH1 pics on a sunday morning breakfast with some friends.

Best time to get one is now before they become really rare, and people start cranking the price up.

I think I'd get castrated if I bought another just yet. I already own 3 Renaults after thinning down from 5 😂

A mate of mine has 4 PH1's so I might persuade him to sell me one

4 is still less than your previous 5 though, got to use that flawless logic to convince the missus and she'll be unable to argue against it 🤔

If anyone has a set in this condition for sale, please let me know!

They should be, they were brand new a couple of years ago and I haven't done much mileage

Went to see the flamer, run it up to temp and move it around, it's been in the garage for the last few months, it's a bit dusty/dirty but she still looks good, hopefully get her out properly soon

Just so you're aware,
