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

Is it weird that I'm jealous of your headlights... they look immaculate!

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
