New Ph1 owner from Derby

[Iscariot]

Hi all,

Thought I should probably introduce myself before I posted anywhere.

I'm Jon, originally a loyal VAG owner, then had a BMW for a short while, then last month I took a punt on Ebay and got myself a completely standard Phase 1 172 in Flame red. Told myself I'd keep it a standard sensible car for driving back and forth to work in; well, that lasted all of about 2 weeks!

Fitted a set of Coilovers last week, also had alignment and a new set of Yoko Advans.

I'll stick a build thread up once I've had time to go take some proper photos.

Until then, here's a crappy phone photo. (Unsure why the rear quarter seems a different shade to the door; it's not!)

Welcome to the forum, Iscariot!

[jesus]

Lovely in that colour!

Hai and welcome to CS.

Don't forget to join the Midlands group.

 

[Iscariot]

Cheers for the welcome guys!

It's not in too bad nick, wants a wheel refurb and a little bit of time in the body shop to get it back to it's former glory, but shall wait till Summer for those.

Welcome mate, looks decent.

Leave the alloys silver please

Welcome! Lovely colour for a PH-1.

I don't suppose you live on Burton Road? That photo looks familiar...

 

[Iscariot]

The wheels will definitely be staying silver so don't worry.

Yup I live on Burton road! Are there many members from around here?

Hi. I'm from the Derby area. Keep your eye out for a racing blue 197 near pride park.

Shilling, your a bad influence on me, your the reason i'm on here haha. I recognise that picture outside the lad pad.
When we doing a trackday then.

 

[Iscariot]

Haha yes Connor! That's two people I've influenced into getting them in a short space of time.

They're AP coilovers, would recommend them for daily road use as they're not too stiff. If you're looking for a more track orientated setup I'd look at something else (there's loads of info on this forum on coilover choice!)
