Am hoping it will be back on the road this year, it's not been on the road since 2012 so it's been a while :) not that I have owned it that long, am looking forward to taking it for it's maiden spin, love the mk1's
I have a mk1 16v, although it's currently not on the road nor has it been yet in my ownership, hopefully will fix that in the not to distant future will see what happens 😂
Cheers Rob, that's a great help, I downloaded Pure Motorsport AC delete fitting guides last night so that has helped also. Looks a lot easier with the engine out of the car
That's my worry, haven't driven it anywhere since, just trying to figure out what to do, it is also due cambelt so might get the garage to do all at the same time, would just have to get it there
Afternoon!
I believe from what I have seen (video attached) my aux belt is slipping/squealing, doesn’t do it unless the wheel is being turned and only currently when the car is stationary (guessing more load when stationary?) I am assuming that it is something power assisted steering related...
Made a start on the flamer today, aluminium bonnet in position (not bolted in yet) and added the cup spoiler off the titanium ph1 which meant the titanium got it's original spoiler back on. Also started stripping the interior and panels although that's not very photogenic, especially while it's...
Understand completely, definitely don't do it the way you are supposed to, where's the fun in that 😂 I keep toying with the idea of turbo'ing the titanium but again haven't gone for it, maybe the main problem is I can't decide and don't want to mess anything up, should just probably go for it...
Keeping my eye on this, have looked at ITB's a few times just haven't gone for it, drove an ITB'd Ph1 a few years ago and it sounded epic, I am sure you won't be disappointed
That’s good you have got a ramp you can get it on and you can have a good check over, not so good about the burning oil, at least once you know what it is you can fix and know it’s all good 👍🏻 I am over in Saffron Walden so not far away, are you in Bishop Stortford? Do you work at a bodyshop/garage?
@Clio172T Looking good, what kind of work does it need? I currently have a couple of Ph1's, don't think you are a million miles away from me, any questions or if I can help just shout (y)
@Darren S looks like they have done a great job, you must be well pleased! How were they on price compared to the other quotes you got? Do they go by BM Autobodies Ltd on Facebook? Do you live in Bury, don't see many Renaultsports when I am back up North visiting family, I am always on the look...
I might be biased as I currently have 2 Ph1's 😂 I think in the rarer colours, with low mileage, low owners, no rust, recent belts etc. etc to the right person they have got to be worth 5-6k. The only thing you could mark yours down from that is the higher miles but knowing how well looked after...
Hopefully will be the sensor, think the long drive to the coast and back finished it off 😂 will make sure I give it a good shove putting the new one in!
Couple of hundred miles this week in the titanium, mainly for food or drink 😀 speedo stopped working yesterday on the way back from the seaside, hopefully new gearbox sensor will sort that out 👍
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 :)
It's all yours Mark 😂 do you fancy another Ph1? Not sure i could sell this one but I might have to thin down what I have before the end of the year so will have to see what happens, I find it very difficult selling anything but think we need to move house so I might not have a choice :mad:
Few pics of the titanium from the last couple of weeks, might have to sell in the not to distant future, it's between this and the flamer or both, don't really want to let go of either if I can help it, will see what happens!
What colour is it? I had a Ph2 V6 back in the day, loved it! I have an alloy Ph1 bonnet in titanium that I keep umming and ahhing about selling, have offered to a couple of people but haven't quite let it go as yet, I am supposed to be fitting to my titanium Ph1 but it hasn't happened yet :)
