Thanks. Dial surrounds covered in real carbon with the alloy rings to provide contrast. I cut the tacho dial off the original dials as all one piece and used as template to cut out the yellow tacho from a Lockwood set I bought. The black centre in it I cut with our own vinyl cutter but removed...

Thankyou, though credit where credit is due to Sparky as it is fantastic. An improvement both in looks & feel on the MOMO trimmed wheel our Premier Edition EP3 had. The only pic I have on my phone of the Clio wheel.

I liked my retrimmed Clio wheel so much, I got our Civic Type-R wheel done by Sparky through Arran about 18 months ago, & still perfect.

Thanks Dan. I've done 37,000 miles in my Trophy since I purchased it in Oct 2009, now sitting at 63,500. I've needed to change nothing but consumables in that time. It returns 40 mpg with ease on my 90mile a day commute which is mix of A roads, dual carriageway and town, plus consumables are...

Couple of errors above I can't fix now. It should read 'lots are doing it now, even if it's just remaps' no idea how scenic got in there. And lowered springs not prints!?!?!?! The Trofeo cars run the 6 speed box from the Punto which proved to be durable over a race season, even when...

Looks good. The Essesse kit is a box of tuning bits that can be ordered from new or added upto 12months or 12,000miles from new. This is manufacturers way of getting around individual type approval as the car is homologated as the normal car, so no costly fees. Lots are doing it now scenic it's...

http://www.hendyperformance.co.uk/product/Genuine_Rear_JDM_Anti_Roll_Bar_rearARBEP3 Forgot to add seeing as its cropped up in a few posts. On my 60mile round trip commute I get 36mpg from the Civic & 38mpg from the Trophy so not much in it.

Nice car, though I would say that owning one. I found fitting the JDM rear anti-roll bar made the car much better, front end much more direct as I think the rear bar is 4mm thicker (22mm V's 18mm iirc) and can be bought from Honda if you know the part number, or there are a number of online...

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project Nice car, I have a Cosmic Grey Premier model, though was tempted by the JDM model to get the Torsen LSD as standard, this is why the steering feels different. But could only find one very overpriced face lift JDM for sale as I prefer it to the pre facelift car. I...

That's a Trofeo race car & the front splitter provided massive downforce at the front. I have heard there is one that's been made road legal here in the UK. Must be a very fast road car as it weighs about 950kgs with fluids and putting out 215-220bhp & 240-250lb ft. The road cars all tip scales...

Hi, Only just saw this as the thread had been resurrected. I should have some pics of it, but I'm sure you would have see some on Abarth Forum under JonL as it is his car (my father in law) though we worked together with Andy Dawson on the Trofeo race series last year before Paulo ran out of...

Our 500 runs AVO height adjustable mono-tube dampers with integrated bump stops & ride/control is improved beyond measure. Also some Eibach front camber bolts with -1degrees camber & 10mins total toe out. It also has 17" team dynamics ProRace wheels which are lighter than the OEM 16" wheels. The...

Glad you enjoyed it, but really hope you didn't go out with front tyres cold at 27psi. When I worked for Abarth on the Trofeo cars, we ran them at 28psi on Michelin racing slicks which have solid sidewalls, not soft road tyres which will roll on turn in, overheat the tread block as everything...

The above picture is my car. I used a Lockwood yellow dial kit as my base but was unsure as to how I wanted it to look. Full yellow dial like the Megane RS250, or just the outer section like the Clio RS200. As it has Lockwood printed on the tacho dial & we have our own software & vinyl cutter we...

My Trophy is T9 PHY & I work at Coventry Airport but I wasn't using it on Tue, I was in my Civic Type-R EP3, the Trophy being at home in Towcester some 30 miles away.

Nice car. I used to have one, a late facelift model also in white I imported from Japan. Had Toyota facelift projector headlamps, facelife rear lights, Toyota MOMO steering wheel I never saw on any other GT4, TRD front seats in red, stainless steel kick plates, electric sunroof, Blitz Access...

Fosters Booth? Drop me a message I may be about as I work shifts.

If I'd known a fellow CS member was close by I would have invited you round for a cuppa & happily chatted cars & rolled the 'grale out of the garage. Cheers Ian182, I really love them all, but for different reasons.

Datsun 240RS And my own integrale pictured between my Clio & Civic.

A lot is being said on the price of the car, but in perspective in 1990 a Renault 5GTT was nearly £12k iirc & average earnings were only £13760, or in 1985 average earnings were £8890 a Fiesta XR2 was £7500 iirc & 1in5 Fiesta's sold was an XR2 nearly 100,000 of them! This costs £20k yet average...

I should have clarified, the unsold cars at that point were not made into RS500's but sold on the back off the publicity the RS500 made as in the UK alone I think there was about 10% of the allocated cars I.e. 400 unsold when the RS 500 was announced. Understandably every car mag ran big reviews...

Interesting thread. My father in law has just recently retired from being a development engineer for Mahle, which used to be known as Cosworth Technology until Audi (yes you read that right) sold it to Mahle approx 3years back. The Scorpio engine had Cosworth designed heads, Cosworth...

Hi Paul, Only local meets are at my house when I fit something to your car, springs 1st is it? lol

I believe that when exhuasts are mentioned for Clio's, BTB ( 172 http://www.stealth4clio.co.uk/ & 182 http://www.clio182btbexhausts.co.uk/) has to be a contender. Anyone who makes exhausts for BTCC cars, Nissan GTR prototypes, the first silenced Ferrari 360 Britcar 24H to meet noise regs, and...

Gaz on the 500 are poor, the first ones had springs rates so wrong the front of the car was coil-bound when stationary. They are also cheaper twin-tube construction. AVO also do a mono-tube adjustable front coil over with adjustable damper and different springs heights for the rear. Damper...

I have both a Trophy and a EP3 CTR Premier Edition. Totally different cars. My Trophy feels much more incisive to drive, very pointy, though I do run -1.8degrees camber at the front with 10mins toe out and Koni adjustable dampers rear, Mark Fish springs, KTR solid top mounts and a Whiteline...
