just seen this thread, looks so nice bud i really do like ph1s and the black wheels look good on it i think. havnt seen you around portsmouth area though

[Christopher.]

So cracked on with the Rear of the car today. Was all fairly straight forward, jacked the car up a bit further to make it a bit easier working under the car. Still hit my head a few times though Only took 3 hours to fit the H&R's and the ARB. Then refitted the Renault 19 alloys which I had the tyres swapped over yesterday and took it out for a quick run up the road and back to make sure nothing was going to fall off. Set them too high but not too bothered as I want to take it somewhere where they know how to set them up properly, Its got a nice bit of rake to it now though

Springs and dampers off




H&R's on with the ARB in place






Some afters

car looks nice mate! BTW, Ph1's don't have acoustic valves

[Christopher.]

So they don't ! just had to run out and see for myself Where do the two pipes run in to then ? To the gaps under the headlight ?

[Russ_16v]

Yes mate, if it helps (if you are keeping the ph1 airbox) I found the best combination was one pipe left on and one pipe removed - good induction noise, and no loss in performance

[Christopher.]

Will do that the one on the right is split anyway

[Russ_16v]

Spot on then mate

[Christopher.]

Got the fronts done today aswell as some of the brake parts CBA to do the braided lines and fluid as time was getting on and my mate getting message after message from his better half. First off went and grabbed his tools from his garage (had to make 2 trips). Had a bit of a problem getting the top nut off but then grabbed his buzz gun and they were off in seconds ! Couldn't figure out how the camber bolts worked so left them for when it gets setup. Got a bit trigger happy with the gun and destroyed the rubber surround on the top mount on the passenger so am on the look out for a decent set of them. Nose is at a decent hight with only a couple of scrapes on the road here and there. But the a**e has to come down a lot ! Only after shots im afraid.

ph2 rear lights make your car look 10x better! i have a pair if you're interested?

[Christopher.]

What you smoking ? PH2 lights on PH1's are proper gash !

[DanEdser]

LOL no it makes the car looks so much better than the all red s**tty blocks!

[Adamm.]

Looking good mate quite like it on those wheels as well.

Plus ph1 rear lights ftw .

[Fletcher]

LOL no it makes the car looks so much better than the all red s**tty blocks!

Nah it looks good as it is.

Lol.. At that stance though.

[Christopher.]

If the weather holds off today il try and lower the back

[Paul172sport]

Looking great mate. How you finding the arb?

You near fareham?

[Christopher.]

Cheers, don't know to be honest mate, ive been going so carefully because of the rear being so much higher than the front, not really pushed it. Certainly feels tighter at the rear. The only good thing about having the front so low the turn in is epic. But under braking it feels unstable.

As said going to try and get the back down today, then take it to either Mark Fish or Xsport in blazingstoke to get set-up properly.

Yea I live in Southbourne, just past Havant. So quite close to Fareham.

[TimR26]

It'll look good once you've sorted the stance out.

I hope it's being lowered as we speak.
