Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse Its more of a downward spiral to be honest. The Trophy lot will cry if they ever see the state its in at the moment lol.

Yeah FFS. Hardly any snow, couldnt even use the 'i drive a BM and its useless in this weather' line :(

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse You should know by now, that by 'bodge', i mean it was re-engineered to ensure a more accurate fit based on the revised parameters discovered following our initial consultation, i.e. it wont fit so i got the hammer out. 5 more minutes & i...

Re: My Pink One.. Another little update following the Brands Hatch trackday on Sunday. First things first, on Saturday, I realised that my MOT was going to run out on Wednesday, was a tad concerned with its heavy mileage, but it passed 1st time in the morning, without so much as an...

Forecast is snow for tomorrow, so hopefully i wont be at work lol ...

Possibly, people like that make my blood boil, posh Skoda driving f*ckwits. No problem Lee, just gutted for you. Shame i didnt get to say hi really, i have a feeling that in the morning you had mooched over to our garage but i neglected to introduce myself, too busy trying to warm up/eat...

Numpties, i've joined up & offered a suitable response:

Yup, pictures were far better than at Snetterton so couldnt resist really!! Nice shots Mr Parker, rather amusing comparing T cornering shots with yours & Nicks - i seemed to have scraped my door handle somehow ...

www.cliotrophy.co.uk I arranged a group buy & about 15 people bought the kit:)

It was, Lee was off the track, Audi unsteered into him, whilst overtaking, on a dodgy corner, under yellow flags, having driven like a nob end all day. Time Attack = chequebook racing drivers. Gutted for you Lee, again, i dont know you personally, but to see that happen was gutting. The...

You are aware that this is a forum for clios? High power, flol. Get decent, matched tyres all round & drive sensibly and you'll have a decent chance of surviving. Unless you drive a cup of course, which doesnt have abs and instantly locks up & heads towards thee nearest ditch in winter iirc.

Who cares if you get surface rust, its under the car lol. Fitted my whiteline on Sat, set to medium (3 adjustment holes on this one), went to Brands yesterday. Perfect setup for me now, twitchy little bastid, i wont be buying rear konis either, its stiff enough for the time being, oo er...

Bloody good day, bit cold though :eek: Addition of the Whiteline ARB (on Medium setting) has transformed the Trophy completely! I wouldnt recommend it for anyone whose not a fan of FWD drive cars that drive like RWD though, its a twitchy little fecker now, flipping amazing the way it steers on...

Lovely looking car, looks mint! Although i would say that ;) As you say, the tank rather large lol, i got £70 in mine last night, which should last about 400 miles or so @ 30mpg. e46's are blooming bargains at the mo, i paid roughly the same for mine :D

Mark Fish Springs are £200 for all 4 1 x Trophy Eibach from Renault is about £200 lol ...

:quiet:

Unless they are actually Spoon wheels, which Rota subsequently copy ;)

Needs turinis.

What makes me giggle is that everyone bangs on about how sh1t saxo/106's are, & then spends hundreds of pounds making their clio drive like one. Softer front for grip, then an ARB & stiffer rear dampers/springs to make it more mobile/twitchy. Then strip the hell out of it to reduce weight...

I'd agree with that lol ... gonna try making them a bit harder on the front, fitting some eibachs & rear koni's. Drove one with the MF setup the other day and roll wasnt something that i'd mention in the same sentence tbh, was too stiff if anything, esp on the hardest setting !!

An expensive one @ £180 new. Leather rim, with suede top part. Never mind :(

Both look lovely!! Needed to thank you as well actually, your interior cleaning thread pointed me in the direction of Raceglaze alcantara cleaner - its cleaned my 172k mile Recaro's up to perfection :D

Thanks a f*cking bunch lol.

To you, & the OP. What did you find so bad about the Sachs? Genuine question as i also use it for track days. Keen to see if you have the same issues.

Yeah, he's done the camber/lows bobbins. He wears skater shoes though, so iirc its law that you have be in a scene.

I'm not going to comment on the Gaz setup, but if you think they're better, thats all that matters :) As they say, suspension is very much a personal thing!! I want my Trophy to drive like a saxo lol ...

Any excuse ;) Standard FTW.

Personally id go for MV1's purely (& without being racist) as every modified BMW i've ever seen has been driven by an Asian. Which is cool if you are an Asian, but not cool if you're a scrawny white dude with glasses - like myself.

What are they then? Gaz?

I prefer the drive on 195's, less grip so it breaks away with less snap than the 205's imho.
