Trying no to bore everyone to death.
Bought as a totally standard cheery red ph1 DT
engine out, tied up, cambelt, pump, hdi box, fit the turbo and few other bits
low milage GTI6 beam
Engine back in
bosch pump, FMIC, FMOC
Fully stripped back and undersealed just incase
full stainless exhaust
Repainted all the rub strips matt black, sick to death of using back to black type stuff to stop them going grey!
Twin optics, yellow headlights, sidelights, full beam, and foglights (somewhere)
Finally on the road
Was in magazine for being funny colours I guess
My "to do" list at the moment
Get this bloody pump fueling right! doesn't seem to fuel the boost over 3k in any gear over 2nd ... not a clue
new manifold
got some morettes and smooth tailgate to go on at some point
Get the thing rolling roaded and fine tuned when I'm happy with the power
Oooh i remember this, love the colour scheme
yep I remember this too. Colour scheme isn't to my taste but I agree it looks different!
Like it :-) something different
I really like this mate. Just not sure on the mirror caps!
Cherry red is growing on me now though!
Looking good man, I likey. Just another thought about the fuelling on boost, are you sure the LDA is setup/working right, so the pin is travelling all the way down, spring is too high, etc etc?
Thanks, yes as far as I'm aware? did have a problem with it trying to rise to much by the looks of it before
Forgot about this
colour coding on an anal level
ZX volcane gear knob
Always liked this car, keep up the good work!
Love the gear knob.
Is that boost pipe routed up through inlet mani and put the side?
pretty much
FINALLY! after over a year of ownership....I've fitted my foglights! haha
Headlight bulb popped so yellow headlights...and one GAY blue light
Also...think the pumps sorted....stupid problem! haha
Is that the air filter sticking out of the wing?
i do really like the air intake, but what about the rain?!
I've got a daily for shit weather...coated in so much oil, doubt it would be to effected unless its left in a heavy downpour

you change cars, weather dependent!?
surely you could have modified an enclosed filter so the bottom was cut out or something..
Love this car. Was at FCS last year no?
yeah was.
Got bored of the stupid greay "super Nintendo" twin optic lights. so after failing on re chroming them, black mash it was
I think the masks work :-) looks good!
getting to love the ph's1 so much. ph3 you to be my first choice but the more i see these early babys the more they're becoming my favorates. as jim said, not to keen on the mirror caps but love the rest of the car. top work mate.
cheers
quite happy with it at the moment, running quite well, pulls like a train....clutch has give way after only just over 2k tho
Just couple of videos of my car making some noise...Just wanted see what it sounded like before it goes away for winter
....Got my self....A saxo!
Enjoy!
