Love the induction setup on this. Does it offer any improvement doing it that way with there being less bends in it?

dmallett's PH1 Flame-shed.

Mine gained 3bhp with that induction setup
Lovely car mate. Reminds me so much of my PH1
Sounds a bit dodgy that, your rear isnt too shabby either
Cheers mate! I am 100% happy with the way it looks now, nothing needs changing IMO. I dont really understand the ins and outs of it but I would say so due to less restriction. But with the battery not being there it is daft not too, I still might change it again to be behind the grill or something but for now it works
Every little helps! ha. Cheers mate!

Thought I'd chuck these in here
Awesome mark! Can't believe it still looks clean in photos lol
Made a mental list of bits to order from Renault when I get paid on the way back from North Weald, especially that window trim lol

I like it. It looks so cool on the road and it sits perfect.
Semi succesful day.
@AlexW came round and we set about fitting the epas, it didnt take long and the car was looking like this.
EPAS v Sport Column. And this is where we hit problems, I didnt have the lower part of the EPAS column thinking the sport column would unbolt and fix to it. I was wrong it would seem!
Regardless of this Alex did his thing and fixed wires together. Joining the ebay box of tricks to the loom and so on.
Whilst Alex done that, I fitted the adjuster to the light pannel.
And this is how we left it. All wired in, though we dont know if it works lol. We tried it but the motor didnt seem to do anything, unsure if its because it had no resistance or not but it had power. We also found out the ph1 squib doesnt fit to the EPAS column, Alex has kindly offered to drop one of this week.
Oh and I fitted the heel and toe pedal.
Need a new cable, pedal sags bad!
So semi succesful day, Oh and I now my dials converted to LED which look pretty good! Picture to follow when its dark

Really hard to take a photo of these! Looks utterly brilliant and will look even better once my dash is back in lol
Massive thanks to @AlexW for these too lol
Window switches Alex has taken home to play with as they are different to the ph2, see if he can change them! Ive gota order the heater control/clock bulbs too finish it off now! Getting the car so it steers comes first though lol

Do the pictures work?

Yeah they work but I think it needs to be darker to get the full affect. Looks good though
When I get home I'll grab some more pictures if i remember

That looks really smart mate
Nice, actually nice, well done.
Although why is the rev counter needle so low?

Because the back of the clocks was removed? Surely it'll reset once the engine is started.
Also I spy black/red F1's...

Thanks guys!
The rev counter was a little teething issue, its fixed now.
Correct Mark, 1 of 4 reject track wheels Ive collected. That red rim'd one is hideous looking lol

With the conversion is there actually that much bleeding from the lights or is it just the pictures. Especially on the LCD. It's the only thing putting me off really

Same Rhys.
I quite like the look of the black/red F1's

Not at all, they look quite sharp in reality. Im pretty useless at using my camera so those are the best I could get lol
The LCD is crystal clear

Out of interest, why do people do the epas change? I always thought electric steering felt rubbish in comparison but obviously not in this case or people wouldn't do it lol
Car looks awesome.
Car looks awesome.
Simplicity of the engine bay & less pipes to leak, no fluid to boil over on track. I would say reliability too, but I don't know who reliable epas is in the long run.
The beauty is you can adjust it. I liked the car with out pas until you were doing less than 5mph & trying to park.
Fingers crossed I'll have it up and running tonight so I can deliver my thoughts on how it feels!

Ph1 172
yes you need the full column mate and squib
You have a ph2 dash in yours too IIRC? what did you do about the drivers side heater tube? mine now doesnt fit as the EPAS motor is in the way!
Yes mate ph2 dash, I've left the heater tube out, I think you could use one from a dci, next time I'm in a scrap yard I'll check it out
Ended up with getting another column today, I only needed the lower part of the column so I now have a spare/one to sell on in time.
@AlexW then dropped round a ph2 squib.
Then like a mad man Alex got stuck in, I was a bit reluctant due to the rain! We also broke all of my portable lights, things were going well!
Rack City. We ended up using part of my pas column, part of the epas column and then the upper column from a DCI that we fitted yesterday.
Ph1 squib on the left, mounting is different to the ph2 squib on the right. Ph2 item fitted, then streamlined slighty (air bag wires removed.)
Alex drove it and was impressed, Im yet to do so.
Few interior pannels to back in, few other bits to fix on too. Need to find a fix for the drivers side heater tubing too.
Getting there !

Driven it,
Its very nice to drive and its awesome being able to adjust it, I currently have it set to almost off. Once I get used to it im sure ill stop changing it so much.
At current the indicator doesnt cancel, so I need a ph2 indicator stalk.

Haters gonna hate etc etc.
Colour coded door handles to follow, a change in spacers and the rear ride height.
And a good clean is in order too!

needs phase two rear end
Even I couldn't do that Paris!
Coming along nicely Dan,
Every time I come back on here an look at people Ph1 project it gets me in the mood to get cracking at mine again instead of thinking about selling it. Damn you lot!
Ph2 boot hatch with Ph1 rear bumper is a good shout though. Looks spot on IMO, but then im bias.

Cheers for the comments guys.

Can't believe how much I've gone off ph2 lights on a flamer, used to love them, now I think they look fussier.
But hey, you've not sold the car yet so you deserve praise for that!
