PH1 Flamer.

[dmallett]

So I got this car about 6weeks ago, and dont get me wrong I love it, but it can be a bit of a ballache.

First off this was my first car, that I kept for nearly 3years.


1.3cdti, wasnt anything special, but being my first car i loved it.


Then for some reason i bought this bucket,




Cheeky pic with my mates ph1.

When I got it, it had the following,
Ktec Coilover,
Ktec Stealth Exhaust
Ph2 Alloys

Since owning it I have done some minor things,
2 new rear tyres,
Tracking and all wheels balanced,
Fixed the electric windows (was held up by wood when i got it )
Made the side lights works,
Got some mats ,
Silvatec Bulbs,
Resprayed and sorted out the fog light duct,
And probably some other boring stuff ha.

Things that are happening next,
Tomorrow new windscreen,
Saturday Im giving it a full service (obv not cambelt etc). Fitting a new coolant pipe as mine is leaky and also fitting my skoda splitter.
6th of July its got MOT, fingers crossed this goes well.
11th of July its going into the body shop to get the whole front end resprayed and dent on the door taken out.

By then it should be pretty decent, and the fun can begin
Hopefully change the wheels to some 15's unsure what yet, then whiteline arb, sort out the engine bay as its messy atm, with dodgy painted bits etc.

Then I dont know, Ill update this as I go/find more things to replace.

looks good mate. same colour as mine. going to start my own thread with what iv done to mine. deffo go for the whiteline arb. got one for mine, great mod.

[dmallett]

Cheers, Oh and ill be changing the steering wheel after the mot also to a OMP Trecento 300mm.


On this picture, i know its not great, but you can kind of see a bit of foam on the bumper? (behind the two slits/venty bits) it pushes it forward around the headlight and makes a gap.
Question, is this normal? ha as when i had the bumper off the foam looked like it was meant to be there, but on my mates ph1 it doesnt have this, Cheers.

Had a pretty bad day with this.

Changed the coolant pipe, that was fine, untill i filled it up again. The rad was leaking real bad, few phone calls later and i had a new radiator after a bit of scheming it was all done.
I then change the oil and filter, also gear box oil and cleaned the air filter.
Then to finish the day i fitted my skoda splitter.
Few pics i snapped through out the day, nothing interesting just my messy engine ha.


Before.

During.

Rad out.

After.
Tomorrow ill clean it, then thats it untill the MOT

[subarufreak]

nice car!

[dmallett]

All painted, passed the mot and some williams wheels. Still slightly unsure on the white and debating lowering it a tad more.

Few pics at the weekend. Including my mates civic Jordan in a few of them.

Enjoy.












And yes my grill stands out being slightly off colour

[dmallett]

This also means i have 5 ph2 sport wheels for sale, heres a single pic untill i sort out a proper f/s thread. If anyones interested let me know.

[sava001006]

think it looks smart with white wheels imo and all that i would change is the rear lights to ph2 ones

[kamalao]

White rims... Nice!
Looking Good!

[LowLife.]

Such a good colour.

Shouting for F1's though mate!

[dmallett]

Cheers guys,
Not sure about ph2 lights.
And I was looking for f1's but got messed about on a few sets, then these came up.
pretty happy with it for now

[Joe,]

Looks lovely. Ph2 rear lights is a must IMO

[eikoorb]

Looks awesome on the white William's wheels!

[T_2_the_C]

Best model, best colour, not biased Im gonna go down the Skoda splitter route myself, had the Cupra splitter fitted for a while but I think this is more suited. Wouldnt have thought of white wheels for my own but they look the part.

Oh and whos the header in the skip lol

[Djw Dave]

Loved my flamer, wish i hadn't sold it now.

[dmallett]

The bloke in the skip is the owner of the Jordan, he climbed up there to take some pics of the two cars together (below). Then just chilled in there i guess haha.



And I do agree about the skoda splitter, makes such a difference!

[Chris_786]

Awesome clean example!

[laberridge]

nice looking car, dont see many in this colour. I quite like the alloys on it already tbh.

[Kieran..]

loving this! ph1 flamers are so nice!
