PH1 172s

[Christopher]

What happened to the Twingo?

Written off I think. Last time I checked it hadn't been taxed or MOT'd for over a year.

I'd be all over that odyssey if I could justify it at all

 

[Chris V6 255]

I'd love another one. Always pop back into the ph1 appreciation thread to get my ph1 fix.

It's a clio and you love them. There, justified now by it.

Love doesn't buy spare cash unfortunately!

True.
C.S.NET should buy it and raffle it at csf for the charity.

Looks nice that, but it needs F1's and standard mirrors.

I know[emoji20]
It's hard to get parts and those rims. I only have one F1 as my spare that's how I got it 4yrs ago when I bought it.

Jesus...that is only down the road from me. This may have to be looked at.

I want that oddy!

At 50k, that's asking to be rescued!

Unfortunately, we're hoping to buy a house this year but if not, I'd definantly contemplate getting that.

Houses will still be there next year you know! That clio definitely needs to go to an enthusiast, and before a dealer gets it and lumps another £6k on the price.

It's convincing the missus that!

If i didn't have mine i would take a punt at that.

I've got far too many cars and nowhere near enough time. And I'm on holiday until Thursday...

But if it's still there when I get back I'm going to see it. It's in Bristol so it would be rude not to.

 

[KitsonRis]

Sod off I am looking at it!!!! Well I need to arrange it but I will be

If I wasn't in a different country (and it was an ok example) it would be on my driveway.

You have until Wednesday at about 2pm.

Haha. I've messaged them but no reply yet. I probably shouldn't as I've literally just got my daily drive working.

 

[Brett21]

I definitely should of kept my old Silver one.
But just never used it enough. (Too many other cars)

 

[KitsonRis]

So who bought that blue Ph1 from the sale section?

 

[midge]

 

[Sidders]

Had a minter, sold it for deposit funds. Now rehomed this p1 that's needs love. Thin on the ground now tbf.

 

[mgoode180566]

I still have my ph1 sunflower that I bought 10 years ago. Has been standing in the back garden for 4 years now. It is fully original apart from eibach springs which replaced the originals when one broke. Have been collecting parts on and off for a few years now and considering put it back on the road.

Want to get the wheels cleaned up. What other wheels can I use to stick it on ? Will any Clio wheels fit ? I see a few are starting to rust here and there. Where should I look for the rust ? How do I keep it at bay ?

 

[mgoode180566]

And again

Wheels wise, stick with the OZ F1s and see if you can source some Renault centre caps. However, they're becoming as rare as hen's teeth so here's another option http://www.cliosport.net/threads/make-your-own-oz-f1-centre-caps.714721/page-3 if you wish to avoid expense and maintain an OEM look.

Rust wise, check around the fuel filler cap http://www.cliosport.net/threads/fixing-rust-in-the-petrol-filler.804991/#post-11334521, around the rear wheel arches, and around the jacking areas on the sills which are susceptible to damage. If it's merely surface rust, you can rub down, treat, prime, re-paint and underseal.

 

[mgoode180566]

I'm looking for temporary wheels while it sits idle and I get the F1 fixed up.
I have a ton of wheel centers already. Have been collecting them lol

Ah right, fair doos! Need 4 x 100 PCD and of at least 15" in order to fit to hubs and clear front brake calipers. Could always check Sales section of forums and/or a Wanted ad up to see if anyone on here has some old & cheap wheels with tyres suitable for the job.

Nice one on the centre caps - keep them safe :smile::up:

 

[Jekyll]

Saw a ph1 at a car show the weekend. More track focused with boost, but still such a cool looking car.

I really do miss mine. Would love another one day.

 

[Djw John]

Mine will be getting properly assessed for rust after this next track day. Make or break time for it. Quite literally.

 

[culpz]

I never used to be keen on the shape but now i much prefer them over the PH2. The standard wheels and front end really does it for me. I always keep my eye out for any decent examples for sale.

 

[stanis232]

Reading this thread truly makes me a proud owner of my pearl black 172. Currently I'm in the body shop to spray it over and I can't wait untill she's back out.
What makes this car so special is the fact that I'm probably 1 of 4 172 (ph1 and ph2) in my country, Trinidad and Tobago, and 1 of 2 ph1 currently on the streets. On that note almost all my parts have to be imported from the UK. Definitely one of a kind! Currently only has 105xxxkm on the clock considering it's age.

Currently awaiting head gasket kit, plugs and head bolts from engine Dynamics to refresh my head because I noticed the oil has been burning a bit (assuming it's valve seals)
Quick release steering
And some little finishing badges


My wishlist sorted from the highest priority :

1. Extra ph1 gearbox or rebuild kit
2. All four abs sensors
3. ITBs ( because my Accel cable forever sticks after changing twice already)
4. Healthy sounding exhaust system from ktecracing
5. 17" speedline turinis

I'm hoping I can get someone from the mainland to purchase an extra gearbox Incase any thing goes wrong and ship it to me. But no luck just yet

I have such a soft spot for these. Once had a minter but sold it...still regretting that.

A bit of a selfish present but bought the OH one as a surprise for his birthday. We literally have a room full of clio parts right now just waiting to be fitted.

You can't not love a PH1!

 

[hsustyle]

Just got another one recently
