Really looking forward to this! It always comes around so quickly. Myself, @loggyboy and a couple of others will be leaving fairly early friday morning to make our way up. Having recently becoming a father, a weekend spent with like minded geeks, beers and cars is very much needed! 😅

I might be up for this also, maybe persuade a couple others to tag along.

Yeah mileage means sod all! This one has just ticked over 107k. It's a good solid car everywhere else, and I intend on keeping it for a long time so we'll worth looking after. Atleast the front arches don't rust... 🙄

Russ did a fine job! 😂 20 year old car problems I guess... fortunately I have the abilities and facilities at work to rectify the problem, just not spare time right this moment. Question is whether I keep the paintwork to what's required for the repairs or give it a full respray in titanium...

Took a couple of photos whilst sat in a multistorey... Extremely happy with the colour combo of the gold against the silver. Think of it as a very poor man's GT3RS! 😂 Unfortunately both the rear arches are showing signs of corrosion right at the top centre of the wheel arch. There was a tiny...

After pondering on whether to do it or not for ages, I decided on getting the LT's powder coated in Satin Porsche 'Aurum Gold' Taking inspiration from @MrBlonde and his lovely 182 when his X3MA's were the same colour. Only have a crappy photo after I sealed them, and the car needs a bloody...

Start of the year I wanted to get straight on with refreshing a few bits on the Clio, and general mateninence. The brakes were looking a little tired, so stripped them all down removed all the old silver paint, and the previous layer of yellow paint 😂 and gave them a new coat of gloss black...

No idea bud, but looking at your photos on IG, I'm very tempted to get my Pro Race LT's powder coated in a similar gold to what you had a while ago! The current matt anthracite looks smart but very quickly can just look like an extremely dirty/brake dust coated eye sore!

They're not that bad to clean actually, no worse than 2118's with those tiny gaps between the spokes. But yes they are much lighter! 15" 2118's = 9kg 15" Pro Race LT's = 6kg

Cheers Dan, I'm glad I didn't fall for the 2118 trap again, it could of been easy to just order a set of those. The car is a credit to its previous owner, a level of care and attention I intend on keeping! 😊

Thanks mate, they are a really nice wheel. I'll just have to be on my best behaviour out on track... 😅 Cheers Russ, I think they suit the car very well! Next on the list is a set of coilovers I think. Thanks bud, I get what you mean as they certainly a lot 'busier' than the 1.2's but I...

I also as a little tribute to my old Trophy thought it would be nice to fit the old numbered plaque, in roughly the same place as where they go on the trendlines. I appreciate this isn't a Trophy, but it's the only physical thing I have left of my old car, and thought it would be nice to have a...

Took a few photos last week, after a clean. With new wheels on, and sealed to help future cleaning sessions! I'd forgotten how much better these drive on the smaller 15's. I'm really pleased with the Pro Race LT's. They looked great on the Civic, but somehow look even smarter in the smaller...

It's been a few weeks, since buying the car from Russ aka @Don’t call me Dave But finally It's time to continue his amazing project. Firstly I'd just like to say what an absaloute gent Russ was to deal with, a genuinely nice bloke, and somebody I felt was very much like myself when it comes...

@andybond money sent mate, I'm really chuffed with the photos! I didnt think there'd be many of mine as i only got two sessions out on track before the bloody coolant pipe let go, but I'm pleasantly surprised. I think the 'track hearse' doesn't look too bad! 😂
