Bought some more T1R's today. The issues with supply & possible launch of the RS2 Z213 with a different tread pattern put me off. I like to have matching tyres all round.

Send them an email, get response, or at least a read receipt.

Houx :)

306 is faster, with better steering, gearbox and chassis. Looks nicer as well. Essentially, he'll have the better car. I used to have a rallye btw.

This. My Ed30 was quick, but it was also dull as dishwater. My Trophy is slow, but great fun.

So you drove a highly modified one. Great comparison lol. Next time, try back to back with standard ;) FYI, i had access to a 306 Rallye, DC2 & 172 Cup at uni ... In all seriousness, & without sounding like a d1ck, if they were that good, i would have owned one by now.

Considering the timing on my Trophy was wrong from the factory, it wouldnt surprise me ...

Personally, id rather be driving a mk1 mx5 on skinny/bald rear tyres. Much more fun, & you're less likely to die when you fall off the road. And yes, i have driven something with lots of bhp. The speed limit in the UK is 70mph, so anything over 95 & you're walking to work.

Good project, makes me miss my saxo tbh ... :(

Tegs, hmmm not such a fan tbh. Housemate had one when i had my 306 Rallye. Drove it quite often & it certainly wasnt worth the extra £4k at the time. Strangely, he thought the same, so flogged it & bought a 172 cup instead ....

Use the rear isofix M10 hole for the outside harnesses points, much better angle :)

Imho, & havin only passengered in a car with them on. It makes things too easy in a clio, re: boring. I tend to use 26-28psi rising to 32 when warm, any other pointers?

Well my computer crashed, so someone just got a bargain lol ...

No. plate is ace!! I also like the interior, but i have beige leather & wood in mine ...

Hmm, i heard this too. FYI, i dont mind the T1R's, & their ultimate lack of grip isnt too much of a concern, its fun that im after more than anything with track days, otherwise id just buy R888's, id say they were more than comparable with the F1's i had on the saxo anyway. Its the...

Hmmm, any other thoughts before i buy something ... ?

Depends, do you prefer big spoon, or little spoon .... ;)

This. + tuition ;) Mines on the medium setting btw, anymore & it might as well be RWD.

I (well Budgie) will be fitting Sportlines to my Trophy in the next week or so - i already have a Whiteline ARB :)

Mattress, in the back of a clio. F*ck that lol ... Tent, double airbed, duvet & pillows is how i roll.

FLOL. Sounds about right ...

I used Qwikifit for an MOT on the saxo, they failed it on the following: 1. Tyres - despite two of them being new 2. Exhaust - despite it being 6 months old, & stainless 3. Front brake pads, again, despite them being 3 months old, & uprated. Strangely, they sell all of those items...

I need new tyres for my latest purchases, the car will be used for track days, & occasional road use ... T1R's are £30, & offer 'normal' levels of grip, so are fun on track. But the sidewalls are soft & wear isnt amazing. If i get a puncture i can go to the local corner shop and buy one with...

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse Ok, so after the bent wheel saga, my faith in 2nd hand wheels was slightly 'dented' :dapprove: As such, and for the 1st time in probably 5 or 6 years, i bought some car stuff new, i.e. unused, not from eBay, CS or Sax-P. Whilst, i'm aware...

I assume with a sunstrip that deep, you'll be asking Mike & i (AKA TeamDwarf) to race it for you ;)

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse Nah, its just my incredibly poor cameraphone skillz :o The centre of the seat cushion is exactly in line with the centre of the steering wheel, although coming from the Recaro's, i am finding it odd not physically standing on the pedals...

I run 2 degrees on the front & 1.5, ie standard on the rear. Thats on standard Trophy suspension though.

Its not a cup, but it is a decent enough price, cambelt service dependant.

Depends on what you run at the front?

Balls, thought i had found my cheap(ish) solution to my 15" wheel woes :( Also, Fred, if i found some wheels that were 57.1 centre bore, do you know anyone that could mill them to 60.1?
