    Trophy Suspension Dilemma ... ?

    Bit difficult, no one else i know has a Trophy, let alone with a MF setup :( Tom has AST's though i suppose .... And H&R's, well they're just Bilstein dampers; i yearn to make the Trophy handle like the saxo ... Its the twitchiness that i miss Pep, the T just understeers on the limit as...

    Will aftermarket OZ alloys from a 206 gti fit my Clio?

    206's have a pcd of 4 x 108 and an offset of ET15-18. So i doubt they'd fit properly tbh.

    Trophy Suspension Dilemma ... ?

    Right ho, Currently in a bit of a weird place re: the suspension on my Trophy. Front dampers have been refurbed, & the rears are also only 18 months old, so its a great setup, with plenty of life left in it ... However, on track, its not quite low/stiff/adjustable enough, so my plan...

    Finally going to fit my JMS induction kit today

    It's very very easy!! Breather pipe is the only pipe on the induction bend from the airbox to the tb, so it's impossible to miss

    Cobra X-Low Sliding Subframes Question...

    By the looks of things, they are either the sliders for base mounts seats, or you need an adapter so that they can be used with side mounted seats like yours. Or, and hopefully, they have sent you the incorrect sliders... I'd have a chat with tweaks tbh, normally fairl knowledgeable :)

    Eds ph1 172

    Re: Eds ph1 172 - The soon to be controversial project! Just out of interest, but why have you mounted the harnesses there? Surely that would be dangerous in the event of a rear-ender? Whats wrong with the standard combo of rear seat belt mount and/or isofix point :)

    Your Car's Greatest Moment Captured

    My Cup, at the 'ring: My Trophy, at Snetterton: For me, these pictures remind of why i put up with the Frenchness, they are simply fantastic cars to chuck about & have fun in :D

    I feel dirty...

    Just sell the Turinis! I just sold mine for £450, after buying some 15" Pro Race 1.2's with new PE2's for £250. Win win.
  12. Sir_Dave

    I feel dirty...

    I'd agree tbh, i do 30k+ a year, hence why i use 15's (PE2's are about £55 a corner) ... sod using budgets on any car, let alone a Trophy. Afterall, according to ClioTrophy.co.uk, they are the best car in the world!!

    What strange car have you got a thing for ?

    You would. I suggested them to Sarah, as i was looking at golfs to commute in (they are much much cheaper, so '06 jetta = '04 golf) ... she told me 'you're nearly 30, not nearly 50'.
  15. Sir_Dave

    What strange car have you got a thing for ?

    I love them, mind you, i did have a Charade Turbo as my 1st car, so a little biased perhaps. One of my best mates at uni sold his Charade Gtti for one actually. Forged internals (like the Gtti) so they like more boost .... His ran 20+psi, with an upgraded intercooler, remap, bigger injectors...

    So, I'm thinking of buying a 182

    Not really, you buy it for £5k, then need to do spend £1k on 5 year service, belts, damage, etc, then another £500 on getting the dampers refurbed. And your still driving around in a press car thats been ragged to f*ck. Might as well just buy a minter in the 1st place ... like mine lol.

    New car - Golf GTI content

    It'll be fine. The Ed30 30 has 230bhp out of the box, with 300 a map away, & they handle it fine apparently. If you're that worried about it, just get the torque reduced slightly :)

    You need to remap it on the way home from collecting it .... otherwise there is a serious risk of you falling asleep at the wheel!! Nice, sensible barge though, enjoy it :)

    my crashed 182 can it be repaired?

    Argh, gutted. Think i'd be tempted to just break that tbh, or pick up a cheapy 1*2 with a duff engine & do a transplant. Repairing/bodging it back together could end up being a little expensive! If you were a real ar5e, you'd make it look ok superficially, then sell it to webuyanycar.com ;)

    172cup vs 306gti 6

    Because if you mess up, the 306 will fling you into the nearest hedge sharpish, whereas the Ph1 will be alot more forgiving ;) Also, if the Ph1 breaks, you already have 2 or 3 other ones sat on the drive that you can raid for parts lol
