All I can say is out the box they are amazing handling. Chasis is stiffer than the 172 / 182. If I jack either side at the rear both rear wheels are off the deck. Only thing of note / downside is that the parts (track consumables) are a fortune compared to the phase 1 & 2.
Thanks mate. It was really the only car I would have parted with the Trophy for as it was also quite special.... this time I let someone else spend the big money though
It's in very good condition to be fair. Cars not really see that many miles, 5000 per year from new, and everything has been maintained regardless..... so a nice an easy clean up
Well I had a few hours spare tonight so I managed to get a little more done......
Both back wheels off, thourough clean under the rear arches, stud check & locktite, lubricate of all strut adjusters and of course a wheel clean inside and out.... no surprises and peace of mind with the check...
Well the last update for today.....
I'm not a real fan of after market window tints, they just don't look as clean as they need to and I hate the halo around the edge! So they have come off today. I'll get the fronts done next weekend 🙈
For losing an hour today I seem to have...
Just to clean my it mate. The black under seal doesn't generally cover the car. I have BT remived any just degreasing it all down.
Because it will be getting punished i like it to be clean so I can see everything that appears. To be fair the car was bone dry underneath wih no issues at all...
Up early and cracked on..... coming along nicely:up:. Paused for a break so thought I'd post a mid way update;
Drain tubes removed (drivers choked, passengers spotless)..... anyway, everything cleaned and built back up
So next was told start underneath..... happy with progress....
Box...
Glorious day today, so before I got dragged out for a drive and dinner, I decided to start cleaning :grin:.....
Decided to start at the front and work my way to the back! It will take a few weekends I would suppose, with some powder coating of pets in between, but anyway, initial degrease and...
Well I had planned to wait until next week to go and get her out of storage but since it was a dry day, and I was lying on the couch eating crap and being lazy! I thought it was worth a trip.....
At least i can nip out and potter now! Started today, although darkness got the better of me...
I had similar issues with 8s..... but more to do with temperatures of the day. Warmer days and stickier tyres the 8s worked perfectly, on a cold day or wet day I had to switch to ds1.11s.
To be fair that was with a 197 / 200 brembo conversion up front, so that with the initial bite of the 8s...
Good purchases mate
Christ knows about the graph.....! Front just over 3/4 hard, rear up full and you'll have a blast around KNOCKHILL......
What spring weights did you go for ? I see 569lbs? Is that damper or spring weight ?
I had only good comments about the GHAs I had originally and...
It doesn't run recliners just now mate, with the harnesses it has the club sports...., With the original interior I have also acquired all original seat belts so it would be a complete change over....
I think the only change would be for some pole positions..... with the car being in storage I can't check if the club sports take 6 point harnesses, the cars have 4 points just now
So I'm having thoughts about the AG....... I do like the look of the RS16 so most possibly a headlining, plastics, and leave the rear seats out just now..... but It will include full cage so inspiration below.....
The seats do resemble the Ines in it already so I may resell the 200 Recaros...
Well picked the wheels up this morning, and very impressed.... could only buy recommend WHEEL COAT at Leven to anyone who needs anything done.... from the very poor orange track wheels to this overnight!
More to follow......

I'd say yes, if memory serves correct, Callys mate and his dad restored and track prepped it. He was down buying some road tyres from me for it and it's meant to be quite a modified monster........,
