Category B write off... 😞
£7000 agreed value
Less my £250 excess, and they wanted £500 so I could retain the Trophy.
So £6250 via a cheque and easily well over 4k in mods/parts so that £500 was well spent!
To be fair I did alright after the write off.
Insurance with an agreed value (not 16k unfortunately) and then selling on all the mods certainly helped!

Can we all just stop talking about Trophy's please! [emoji24]
All I have left is my OMP steering wheel, which is now fitted in the Impreza (felt like the right thing to do)
I also still have the #083 plaque as a little memory...

And that is definitely a genuine Forge unit! [emoji4]
Glad it's being put to good use on what is personally one of my favourite cars on the forum!
The Clio is nearly there mate, and it looks bloody awesome!
Roll on CSF17!

Pic doesn't work for me James, but Osram do some great LED sidelights.
If that's what you're after of course!?
Regardless the M3 looks awesome! Great purchase!

With the diff removed and currently at the specialist awaiting his diagnosis... :sweat:
An early start allowed me to make great progress this morning by renewing all the bushes on the rear end with with either 'Powerflex' or 'STI Group N' bushes. Essentially the entire car now has renewed and...
Yeah pretty much mate! 😂
Moral of the story is don't buy a 22 year old Japanese import without your eyes wide open! :wink:
Cheers bud! :blush:
Thanks Scott it's getting there slowly. :spanner:
You still coming to CSF17?
*Update*
So last Sunday, me and a couple of mates tackled more suspension work, and managed to get a fair bit done!
* Bilstien B16's and STI group N top mounts fitted
* Powerflex camber bolts front and rear
* Whiteline anti lift kit fitted
* Whiteline bump steer kit fitted
Followed up by a...
Just to clarify I never fitted the B14's just for 'looks' after shelling out on a Quaife, my budget could only just stretch to a set of Bilsteins, and for the money they can't be beaten.
I'm hoping the B16's I've just fitted to my Impreza are just as good!
I don't understand why many people...
I sold my SACH's on and replaced them with B14's. As I ran 2118's and hated the arch gap.
Now granted my Trophy was far from standard, but in my opinion it was a much better car on the Bilsteins!

Loving this Dan. Such an amazing effort! I can't wait to see it in the metal at CSF17!
What dump valve have you got? If it's any interest I have a black Forge dump valve that would work with your setup.
It's yours if you want it?

Very kind Darren thank you!
I know exactly what you mean.
At the end of the day, nothing stays factory fresh and even a 12 year old Clio with renowned handling will not be as good as it did when it rolled off the factory line. But you renew those tired/worn bushes with 'Powerflex' or even...
These have also arrived...
Again this is @Phase1sr fault! [emoji23]
I've got a set of these to fit aswel.
They fit under the side repeaters, and often go missing as they are on my car.

Looks spot on mate!
I really do like these. A friend of mine had a grey one which was a 'clubsport' ? Supposedly that version replaced the Nurburgring edition. Either way it looked fantastic!
