Probably you best bet, as if you fit the pure motorsport kit, you'll have to make more holes in your chasis :/

Very trueYep true, and the ast's do look the business too
Also, on another note, is the last weekend in May the weekend your aiming to go to the ring?
Yeah looks a good weekend to go, although i won't be camping, i'll be posh and get a hotel lol

Awesome, taking an already great Ph1, and making it even better. Epic. Good work sir, good work.

Lewis look at the ring trip thread!

Bit of an update! She's running! So anyway Sunday we completed splicing the Omex 600 into the loom (i say we i mean DannyR mainly) but we never got the car running due to one of the wires coming out of the Omex plug, anyway i fixed that yesterday, tried starting it and was running horribly, overfueling so much it was dripping out of the Trumpets. So i got texting Matt at TDF who gave me a few things to try/check and had no luck yesterday so left it for yesterday and started again today. First thing Matt asked me to check was fuel injection pulse, and me not being very technically minded i just text him a picture of all the info on the computer when the Omex was plugged in, he then replied saying that my coolant temp shouldn't be -25 degree's lol. I had noticed this but i thought it was because the car wasn't running and cold, but Matt told me it should be roughly the same as the air temp. So i got under the Bonnet and then after checking the wires found one broken. Connected it back up and went to start the car and she spluttered to life once all the excess fuel had burn't off from the overfuelling it was running like a dream so i let it get warm and took it round the block for a test run.
The car ran perfectly, the map seem's fine on this car, if anything it seems to be responding to it better than the cup did! Only problem was the exhaust sounded horrible and the manifold to decat was blowing. Looking forward to getting the Oreca on at the weekend.
Hopefully this weekend i should be fitting the Oreca Group N exhaust, 182 manifold, 2118's + A048's, 15mm rear spacers and my odyssey race battery and if i get time i'll give the engine a spray of VHT paint
Will also get pictures and video's too

Got home from work with about an hour to spare of day light so i got my 2118's, 15mm rear spacers, stud and nut conversion all fitted
Even though i had et37 Team Dynamic Pro Race 1's on, i wanted to put a 2118 on without a spacer, just so i can see what i gain. The 2118's are et43. So here is a 2118 without a spacer:
Studs wound in with thread lock:
Spacer on, must say i'm very impressed with the H&R's, light as a feather, and a very snug fit, was expecting them to be loose, like when your wheel sits on the hub, but they aren't, very tight so won't be falling off with wheel changes
Wheel on and notice the difference:
Some other pictures because i could
Filthy front bumper from my grubby hands working on the car
Should of really got shorter studs, but it's better to have them too long than too short. Must say i really like the 2118's on the ph1, suit it really well, need some white stickers, better get in touch with N2Graphix

Looking good mate,some red stickers might look quite nice to go with the cage.

I was thinking that too Dom but really like the white and black as it is

Yeah didn't really know how long I needed. But ain't a bad a thing I guess.

What's wrong with the AST mounts?!?!
ph1 172
Rattle like mad. Sorted the drivers side, but await a new part for the passenger side which should (fingers crossed) be here tomorrow.

So i had today off work, which sucks really as i haven't earned anything, but gave me the chance to get more done on the car, i spent most of the morning getting parts off the Cup for people. First thing i done for the ph1 was get the Odyssey race battery out of the Cup so i could hook it upto the C-Tek trickle charger. I was then pleased to see in the 2 weeks the car hadn't been used, and the very cold weather, the battery hadn't lost any charge, and was reading full charge straight away!
So i got the seats out of the ph1 ready to mount the battery and hit a problem strait away. The ph1 had the seat rails removed and the seats were bolted directly to the floor of the car, leaving about 60mm below the bottom of the seat and the floor, so i thought no problem, put some 20mm spacers between the seat and subframe and problem solved, but then i noticed the sliders on the seats had the catch's and wires under the seat lower than what the bottom of the seat, leaving no space in the middle of the seat for the battery.
So i had a quick look at my old Monaco S seats out of my cup and noticed the sliders were different, without a wire and catch going through the middle!
It's pretty hard to see what i'm talking about in the pictures, but anyway with the sliders off my old seats the battery would have enough space in height, with only about 20mm of spacer in width between the sliders. Whilst changing them over i also fitted 20mm spacers to give a bit of extra height. so i measured up and marked out where the battery was going and got it fixed.
I then got the seat into the car and it fitted over the battery perfectly.
I then also fitted 20mm spacers to the drivers seat and it was a much better height now, in the future i may look at getting some seat rails welded in, but i'm happy as it is right now
By this point it was 2 o clock, i was hungry, and had lots of parts to pack up ready for the post office, so i called it a day there

Evo 5 RS
Then they're not fitted correctly
ph1 172
They are.
I have cancelled it down to the "UFO" shaped collar that fits on first and up inside the bottom of the top mount. This is not a snug fit. There is wear around the top lip which causes very small movement once located. Both bearings are tight and moveable.
I have the part coming from ast so shall put it on and find out
Evo 5 RS
Unless theres a manufacturing defect on some of them, which is very possible. Mine have never rattled at all

I'll be following this thread with interest, looks good so far.
So nice, even better in the flesh! Hope you dont freeze to death working your way through your list of things to do.

So today i braved the cold and decided to crack on with the car, first job on today's list was the 182 manifold... wasn't looking forward to this. Got the car all jacked up and was ready to go...
The night before i had a good read of the guide on here which was pretty helpful tbh. I started off by getting the bolt the connects the steering rack, what a pain that was! anyway 10 minutes later it was out. I then set about undoing the bolts that hold the sub frame on, they all came undone fine apart from the last one (one of the 18mm bolts that hold it to chassis near steering rack.) These have a captive nut on the other side and the bit that held it on broke off as i tried to undo the bolt, i tried getting at the nut with a spanner but had no luck. Because it was so cold i just gave up for today, when the weather is abit better ill grind the bolt off and put a new one in, but today i just wanted to get done and get in the warm lol.
I then set about getting the Oreca Group N exhaust fitted, pretty straight forwards job, an hour later it was done. After that i got my Odyssey battery wired up, relocated the ECU and got rid of the inersha (sp) switch.
Only got a few photo's just wanted to get in the warm lol.
Weather dependent, tomorrow i will fit my Whiteline ARB, cut down the inside of my bonnet so my air filter doesn't foul on it and VHT paint my rocker cover
If i get that done, it only leaves my 182 manifold & Vibratronics upper gearbox mount left to fit and that's all my old parts on

Looking good mate.
Regards the subframe bolts, you can get a deep necked ring spanner on the nut, just make sure you pick out all the broken bits of the retaining tag, I had to do this on all the subframe bolts on the Cup when I was stripping it down. They can be hard going if they're well rusted up but doing it that way prevents any risk of damaging the subframe or the chassis leg trying to grind them off.

Thanks mate, If i can get hold of one i'll give it a try as i don't have one at the moment, was trying all sorts of spanners and sockets today. Really need to fit that manifold as the ECU has been mapped to suit that set up so see it as a bit of a priority to make sure it's running healthy
