I dunno about that, managed to blag 3 hours from work, & just got back ;) Found the problem however. Not only were the rear bearings both rather goosed, but the hub nuts were only on finger tight FFS. The person who last changed the rear discs also chose to use the brake spacer things on the...

Cheers Oli, although knowing my current luck with clio's, it'll probably expire whilst im driving it lol. Just gonna cruise about in the R32, not drive like a loon as the tyres/brakes/fuel are too expensive :o Will be nice to see how it pulls above 90 tbh as thats the quickest ive been in it...

Well its not the front left. F*cking car, everything seized to hell, & most of the nuts/bolts were knackered as well. Gonna have to bail on using the Trophy now as i need to replace the balljoints as the nuts were cross-threaded, also the pinch bolt on the hub wont tighten properly so its a...

Was just thinking that lol. And we got fed up with the sodding Trophy after only 2 hours ...

So which bearing are we betting it will be? Ive got 2 x 182 cup front hubs and both rear discs from Nick to fit, but id rather not have to change all four if i can help it.

Im begining to think that the little ginger man i employed to do the job just didnt want to get cold changing the bearing outside ... I'll do it tonight, sure Sarah wont mind, its only Valentines day lol.

Symptoms: Humming from 30-75 where its loudest, stops at 80 Stops when i apply any lock to the left Does it in gear, or in neutral with clutch in Sounds like its coming from the front of the car First thought was a wheel bearing (& what i was told was the issue on purchasing), but we checked...

You're not renting it, you're buying the car. Quite a lot of the other championships, ie MX5/MR2/BMW etc all do the same.

£5 says its goes bang or gets broken for spares within 6 months.

My write up for the Trophy forum:

You're doing it wrong ;) Both Gally, Stan & myself have bought Trophy's (all for less than £4k, decent) within the past 2 weeks lol. H&R's are fixed, but tbh, unless you really know what you are doing, which most on here dont, there is no need for adjustability imho. The H&R's do suffer from a...

Nothing wrong with H&Rs on a track car. I fitted them to the Trophy for a change, & that did nothing but get spanked on track. Also, uve been looking for a Trophy for a week lol, theres about 8 for sale at the moment iirc.

FFS. Now there's 5 in this colour on Autotrader/PH. Unlucky or what lol. Swop for a Trophy? - id be doing you a favour iirc.

No point in fitting ducting whatsoever imho. By removing the fog lights/arch liners, the air will go over the brakes anyways, it doesnt need directing.

<3 the Z4, & the silly hat.

Never actually got them fitted im afraid, bought them solely for Llandow, then it was so wet i didnt bother fitting them :dapprove: Did anthracite: Then Nick did white(ish): For whats its worth, i think they would have looked lovely, although i did have a habit of doing things just to go...

They do look nice tbh. Although hand on heart, having had both (along with PR1.2's, PR1.3s, Valver wheels, OZ F1's & TSW Venoms), i still prefer the look of the Turinis.

If theyre the 2118s that steviant had off me, they were powdercoated in an Aston Martin bodyshop & the finish is very good. Tom@JMS had them done by Ollie82 at his old work for the racecar.

Ooft.

lol, sounds like the exhaust has fallen off.

£40 easy. Everyone always breaks them when fitting aftermarket steering wheels.

The news about the breathalyzers is interesting, but this news: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=25&t=1248565&mid=70527&nmt=Mazda+787B+back+at+Le+Mans is fapping awesome. Nom

Would look so much better if the offset of the wheels wasnt so wrong, did Halfords mess their Ripspeed order up? Oh, you fitted spacerz, my bad :o

Looks awesome!!

Looks epic. Do want.

Why have corned beef for dinner when fillet steak is only a few quid more ...

lol, Nah not me, mines abandoned outside Mikes house. Unless Ollie's nicked it to go for a drive ... tbh, i have no idea what the no plate is anyway.

That reminds me of Johnny 5 lol

For me, a hot hatch is all about the most fun, for the least £££'s. The 1*2 delivers in this respect, hence why im on my 3rd Trophy, 4th 182 and 5th 1*2. Im not currently using it as a daily however, which is probably why i still love them soo much lol. I owned a 197 Cup for 3 weeks and whilst...
