Dr Jekyll's Ph1 172 Progress Thread

[Jekyll]

You do struggle with my user name don't ya x

Lol @Bobby. Better?

You lot have convinced me! I shall do it when I jack the car up to fix the exhaust mount bracket holes.

 

[Mr R.]

I have the dog bone mount done and the Ktr engine/gearbox mounts.

Very happy, wouldn't go back to standard now.

Im the same, have had this set up on both my ph1's and wouldnt want anything else tbh.
I dont really notice any vibrations either

I don't know what all the fuss was about, people need to man the f**k up.
I do notice it on idle tbh but the engine feels so better connected, better response and I wouldn't go back to the crap standard mounts again.

(Had 2 set's before ktec)

 

[rs 1an]

Mark are you coming on Sunday so we can get some pics

I totally agree with that! But my car being slightly stripped you dont notice the vibrations as its generally just noisy and that seems to overwhelm and vibrations (that doesnt really make sense, but i know what i mean!). My flamer on idle rattled like mad, but that was fully stripped so that probably didnt help!

No buddy. I'm round AlexW's with a friend with a cup to get a few bits done. Plans for mine are to re-tap my exhaust mount and use a exhaust mount bolt I've got spare, fit polybush dogbone mount and use a jubilee clip for either side CV gaitor. I got these ones:

Also I've finally found that annoying rattle in the rear! It turned out to be the headrest stems rattling. When there extended they don't do it but once they are at the lowest setting they do. Me being me, I don't like the look of them unless they sit all the way down so I masking taped up the stems a tad and bingo, no more rattling!

I think I might buy a small lot of underlay now to fit behind the door panels to help with the vibration. Worth a shot.

 

[Timmsy]

Could always try the anti vibration paint? Probably costs the same as underlay i would imagine

 

[banther]

End of Jan then we can have a ph1 gangbang.

 

[Mr R.]

End of Jan then we can have a ph1 gangbang.

If you ever get one.

Mine won't be back on the road untill the crap weather is over.
Even then it might go up for sale.

[Bobby.]

Didn't think you would ever think of selling Scott.

 

[Mr R.]

I have a itch that needs scratching.

But we will see.

 

[Mr R.]

Mark Re CV boot clips, they will be to long once done up.


I just trimmed mind down with a fine hacksaw blade, neater job.

 

[Toms_clio]

[Lawro]

Didn't think you would ever think of selling Scott.

Everyone said that about mine too..

 

[Bobby.]

But we will see.

Oh yeah, what itch is that then?

I need a cup spoiler on mine so bad!!

You got a Ph1 now Tom?

[Lawro]

Not yet mate but it's on the cards early next year..

 

[Bobby.]

What you getting next? If it goes.

 

[rs 1an]

I can see Scott wanting one of these :approve:

 

[RMDavis]

Car looks great mark! I will be keeping an eye on it's progress. Those sidelight bulbs are bloody bright! Didn't know you could get 501's with CRE LED's I'm defiantly going to get a pair of them!

 

[Jekyll]

Scott wont sell....

Tom, yes you do mate! They really do finish off the rear I've still yet to see yours in your ownership!

Well worth it Rob. They look a tad white next to my slightly blue HID's but will look spot on next to the standard xenon bulbs.

 

[Jekyll]

Got a few more things done this weekend. New air vent and number plate bulb holder arrived saturday so i got them fitted with the new LED too:

AlexW's Auto's! by Dr-Jekyll, on Flickr

First job was to change the standard dogbone mount with my polybushed one.

Dogbone mount - Standard Vs Polybush by Dr-Jekyll, on Flickr

While Alex was busy fitting the polybush dogbone mount i used some gaffer tape to tape up the Ktec induction kit as we noticed that where it wasnt fitted properly it had been rubbing on the battery brace bar and had made a little incision. Once both those jobs were done Alex the moved to the rear of the car to remove the middle exhaust mount bolt as it wouldnt tighten up or loosen off and i took my old cable tie off my CV gaitor and fitted the jubilee clip. Alex also re-tapped the 3rd hole as i went in pissed before. All sorted now, thanks @Phase1sr for the tap

Also used some penny washers that i had lying around to "fix" the common ECU broken bracket:

Ive had a sticky throttle and we noticed today that my one has snapped so i shall order a new genuine one from Renault over the Xmas period. Thanks again Alex for your help today

Also shot down to Halfords today to get a clean standard plate made.

I will fit this tomorrow and then I'm legally clean

My girlfriend also bought me a new toolbox out of the blue because she's awesome and mine was knackered! So while i was removing all my tools from my old box to the new one i found these in there:

Dan@MAD top mount covers! Well thats them off the wish list now! lol I'm going to get a can of Iceberg made up and colour code them

 

[Mr R.]

Wow cracking work mate, glad the exhaust mount is sorted.

 

[AlexW]

Less freaky pics of me this week!

 

[Bobby.]

great progress mark.

 

[Jekyll]

Wow cracking work mate, glad the exhaust mount is sorted.

Thanks Buddy. No more loose or wonky bolts now!

Less freaky pics of me this week!

I did have one of you tapping the mount but i had to crop it anyway loosing part of your gorgeousness!

great progress mark.

Cheers B-boy! Are you taking your cup to the Surrey R/R meet in feb?

Also im glad the poly dogbone mount has been fitted! Sooo much better than before. Virtually no movement on the gearbox on and off the throttle and no noticeable vibrations either. Definitely a mod that is recommended and im glad i listened to you lot!

 

[Rob]

Nice work mate, how did that vent go in?? Easy?

 

[yeecup]

It's coming along nicely. Guess who fitted the induction kit...

 

[Jekyll]

Nice work mate, how did that vent go in?? Easy?

It just pops in Rob. I broke it getting it out so i was concerned about putting it in as i didnt want to snap anything as there £24 and i waited a month for it! I did post up a thread but got impatient and had a go and it was so easy i shouldnt of needed the thread (Hence why i removed it )

It's coming along nicely. Guess who fitted the induction kit...

Dodgy scotsman All better now. I think it was actually due to the battery brace not having the bolt to hold it up and that was why it was scoring against the neck of the filter. Luckily i had a spare bolt that fitted so its all good now

 

[Bobby.]

Cheers B-boy! Are you taking your cup to the Surrey R/R meet in feb?

yes most probably

 

[Stefan.]

Nice!!!

Will be keeping an eye on how nice this turns out, going by your 182

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks Stef

 

[Timmsy]

Coming along nicely Mark, whats next on the list?

I didnt manage to get out and do anything on mine due to the **** weather this weekend!

 

[Coops Mk1]

nice progress, loves a tidy up project

 

[The Russian.]

Where did you get the centre vents from dude? Didn't think they was that easy to fit?
