Handy thread, I've just ordered my fibreglass bonnet :)

Probably been said many times, but my trophy is on 187k

Damn, had the scuttle out today for a few bits and didn't even think of looking at it until I got home and read Martins thread. im not worried about reversing it at a later date, I think the car is past the point of no return now :) cheers for the info tho buddy.

Mines been removed but still has the block on the bulkhead up towards the drivers side. im assuming the rest can be removed into the car aswell?

Had a letter arrive today, scanned it but didn't really digest it.

I blame the misses, she's constantly talking of different colours to do the nursery, maybe I should suggest red and baby blue :)

If one brand new injector has made a difference, maybe remove them all and send them off to be cleaned and flow tested. it could be a good starting point ;)

Mark, I'm one step ahead of you on the other bits buddy, I already have the steering rack bushes, new steering arms and TRE's waiting to go on, along with new ball joints for the wishbones once powder coated. i fully agree, anything perishable is going to be worth replacing at this stage, may...

Cheers guys, the challenge starts tonight. Mark, don't throw idea's out there like that, my brain will be ticking all day now with possible colours ;)

Hey Mark. ive got the AST's and Whiteline ARB on the Trophy at present, along with the pure top mounts. im happy for a little trial and error with the rear ARB, if its no longer required I'm sure it will sell on with ease. ive got the front wishbone kit but I've never fitted it, I'm just...

Luke, that looks more like you were gutting the car anyhow. i like your style ;)

That's cool then, brakes need new fluid anyhow so that's no big drama, a task that comes with the package it would seem. ill give it a go, broken fingers and achy back on the horizon!

Fingers crossed aye Mike ;) ive got the pure motorsport bearing and strengthening kit to go on, just considering dropping the beam out over the weekend when I remove the front arms aswell. you kinda know me and possibly have an idea what I can achieve, rear beam a task you think I could...

The misses 182 has run standard cup packed shocks with a set of Eibach springs for a little over 2 years now and no sign of any excessive wear as yet, everything feels as tight as it did initially when fitted. we didn't want it stupidly low, just a moderate drop for a slight more sporty feel on...

I'm sure I can suss it out, but how hard is the rear beam to remove? complicated task or more than easy for an average DIY'er? cheers.

lol @ Tart. looking at Marks car, I'm pretty convinced he has a little OCD. its a work of art, but I can fully understand the justification for calling him a Tart ;) :p

I hadn't even spotted when you did it. shouldnt be any more miles on it from that, as it came home on the trailer and its still in the garage on the trailer now.

When did you sneakily take that picture Martin? TBH, I haven't got a clue what the miles on it are at the mo, lol.

Oooh, just realised, that's who I bought my FRS from, a guy called Nick looked after us and was really helpfull from beginning to end. from a personal point of view, i can not fault him or the company.

No, no difference to sound or performance. the restriction is the cat itself, not the temp sensors plugged in to it. you will use loads more fuel and have a warning light on aswell, no benefit what so ever.
