I re-sealed mine in the summer, we've had heavy rain here and mines started leaking again, just annoying
Mkll Ph1
Mine had been doing it around September time and then stopped by itself and now it's started again. c**ty things. Was it your areial as well ?
Well its only damp on the top of the A pillars, but i'll check when i get round to doing it.

Sealed up around my aerial to see if that sorts it and then decided to go all out and give the car a clean as it was filthy.
Started with the wheel as they were awful.
Dont have any pictures of them cleaned yet as it started chucking down half way through them so didnt even get to start the actual car -_- .
Then I sheared a f**king bolt.
Running on 3 at the moment until i get time and a dry day to drill the fucker out.

Great question, I've personally no idea! No pictures on the net anywhere?
not 100% on the 1.2s, but don't you need some sort of adaptor plate?
Or is this a kit specifically for your car?

Not checked properly yet just a quick skim. Thought it would be handier to check here first.
I had thought that at first but the guy i bought it off said he didnt have a plate for it and ive seen it on his car a few weeks back and his is a 1.2.
He has a Ph2 though but i wouldnt think they would be hugely different.
Seems there's 2 main types of the 1.2 engine, where's your throttle body? At the side? Or at the rear?
Your kit looks to be the kind that goes on the throttle body at the side, if instead you have a square resonator box thing there, you need an adapter plate.

That'd be ace mate, cheers.
If it its the D7F 1.2 8v engine all you have to do is take the air box straps off (push down on the pins and then push them towards the air box), push down on the black 180 degree pipe (big one) to detach from the throttle body, pull off the breather pipe and remove the whole old air box carefully navigating round sensor wires and pipes..
Attach your new air filter and do up all the jubilee clips etc., find the breather pipe (should be just under the main intake) and attach your new breaker pipe (the one with the smaller filter on it.
Also some intakes don't have a plate as its located right in front of the grille when fitted
And that should be it, i made my own little custom one.

Cheers mate worked a treat
will hopefully get a few pictures took in the light tomorrow. The smaller breather pipe had a bit of smoke coming from it earlier after a bit of a hard drive. Is this normal with it being a breather or do I need to have a look into it ?Also does anyone know if a ph2 engine cover fits the ph1?
I know they are a bit different which is why I wouldn't be sure.

glad it helped, not sure about the breather but if the oils at a high temp and the breather is a direct hole to the engine internals, might just bet that, just keep an eye on it. Also I know its hard not to, but dont thrash the beans out of it in 1st gear to get the noise, these little 1.2's arnt meant for 7k revs haha
also the ph2 cover doesnt fit i got one from a scrap yard as i wanted it too. haha but yer all the inlets dont line up and just looks a bit stupid tbh lol
Mkll Ph1
Well this is how my engine bay looks now. I think its a bit untidy and want an engine cover but have no clue where to get hands on one for a Ph1.
Other than that i dont have a clue on how i would go about making it tidier looking. Maybe coloured lines or something but don't know yet.

A good clean & degrease, then back to black all the black plastics and it'll look clean
also, you could paint your front grill satin black, would look ace
I'll give it a go when I'm off next
.Got my spacers fitted today before work.
Went from this.
To this.
Was pretty happy with it until the drive home. Any sizeable dip in the road and I'm rubbing the arch :/. Gonna need to get them off sharpish.
Also a few other snaps from today.
How low is the car? On springs or coilovers? And how big are the spacers?
Mkll Ph1
Not sure on the offset mate. Spacers were 16mm and the car was on 60mm springs. Got them off now anyway though so will either sell them or stick them back on again when i have the 172 bumpers sorted.
mk2ph1 rsi 106rallye
Dud you try them on the front?
Cool want a set of spacers for my car might have to get the tape mesure out to work out the best size to go for.
Mkll Ph1
Not tried front yet but i still have half a wheel bolt stuck in one of my front thats i need to get taken out so will try them when i manage to get that done
Did it rub a lot with the 16mm spacers and lowered 60mm? Looking to go F60/R40 with aftermarket shocks but I still want to be able to put people in the back
Mkll Ph1
Not really. Town driving was fine and had no problems. It was more the fact that i would be driving on country roads most days and when I hit a bump in the road at around 60 it rubbed with the car hunkering down. So if your going 40 at the rear you'll be fine even with people in the back.
Mkll Ph1
It was catching the top of the arch just i think. not 100% sure but i think 195/40/15 maybe.
they don't look like 195/40/15, more like 195/50/15 to be honest, hard to tell from pics but that's what it looks like. How did you color code the bumpers and stuff? Did you do it yourself?

No updates as such been busy the last month with farming and work in general.
Have my M.O.T at the start of April though so will probably just be tidying the car up and then hopefully get a good bit more work done after that.
Plans are;
Sport seats
172 parts painted and fitted
De-cat
and maybe a new set of alloys if the right set become available and depending on funds.
Other than that im more than open to suggestions.

He had a crash.
Mkll Ph1
Was on a main 60mph road when the woman in front stopped sharp to let a lorry pull out of a junction and I couldn't stop in time so went into her arse. Was pretty much not expecting her to be stopping and didn't brake as hard as she did until it was too late and I realised she had stopped.
Ah shite mate
Mkll Ph1
Sorry to disappoint. Was close to having everything finished for it. Had the body parts booked into get sprayed on Monday and landed home from the hospital on Wednesday night to two huge boxes with my sport interior. Gutted.
