Didnt you break his car or something that he loaned you? Bet that makes you chuckle now at the ammount of f**k ups he did for you :) Btw I've been to fred's and seen your car and it's a load of s**t, may aswell of stuck some tights over your ITB's, it would've worked better

This is why 9/10 I will go and pick the item up instead of paying for postage, means you get the chance to see what you're buying etc.

Could be a rear shock, rear tyres, or you're completely lifting out of the throttle when cornering when I find it best to keep a small ammount of throttle on and adjust the chassis with the throttle.

Have you checked all of your engine mounts mate?

Sweet baby jesus they've arrived. f**k it my engine is getting put on hold and these are getting purchased :)

I'd say you're looking at around £4k as IMO I'd be forging the bottom end, its inevitable you will want to increase the boost at some point, so you may as well just do it once and do it right.

How much is it up for dave? I Can't see for sale threads anymore :(

You'd be doing well to get it for that discounted mate. Mine had boed (sp) a little so was a pita to get to fit on the boot, It had went straight over time lol

No they're a lot more, I've got the receipt somewhere as I bought mine brand new from renault last year, used jag x-type bonnet struts which gave more lift than the standard trophy tailgate struts.

I hate removing handles from clios....fat fingers fail me :(

oooo nice, those wheels would look epic on the RB :)

Are you going for the xxr 527's? Been looking at them today for the black one. Also thought you were buying an rx8??

Sadly not mate, I think the BG is worth more personally...although spec does dictate that. I fancy some of this dodgy wax your planning on making though, could try it on the bg, see what it does to the paint work ;)

Nice work Gally, you've probably just made most trophy owners their wet dreams for the next few weeks haha My brother offered to do a deal on my old trophy for my current BG yesterday....the thought of swapping a black car for a red one is tempting but the trophy has twice the miles

Still nobody fancy this? Should be a good day

My old seat is famous :) I'll be sure to buy a copy, havent read PFC in years

Lol sounds good, wonder if my girlfriend will notice if I de-cat the dci. It's already got a map, just need a dci 80/100 intercooler and turbo and a fresh map.

Is there any gains from de-catting the dci apart from more smoke?

What are the benefits of upgrading the rod bolts, is this the weak part on the bottom end or is it the rods themselves?

Love this car Keith, always enjoy reading your updates on it.

As budgie said, take the weight off the axle with the jack but only just take the weight off it, 18mm bolts in the bottom of the shock need to come out. The springs should stay put if you dont drop the axle down. With the top nuts you will probably have to use a set of mole grips on the top of...

Go to juicy detailing for iron-x and tardis you can get from an autosmart rep.

Yeah mate, wash the car, iron x it, then tardis then clay, then give it a good wash and dry, tape it up and away you go. Remember to use a good sealent and wax to seal in your hard work

If it's a dual action you can't really go wrong mate. You might be best off speaking with Gally regarding pad/polish combo's. I tend to use 3m pads (yellow and blue) and if I need a harder cut I'll use something like a hexlogic pad. Compounds I'd recommend are menzerna, both for cutting...

Thought I'd update this: Today I've been cleaning up my trophy turini's, they were pitted with brake dust and tar, so I used some IRON-X and Tardis which removed 95% of the crap, they need to be refurbed at some point but thought for now it would atleast make them look better. I've sealed them...

Good news Wayne, can't believe you havent got that kit fitted yet lol. You putting an f4r lump in it after?

Hi James, I'm taking a step back from detailing other people's cars, however if you need any help and advice your more than welcome to ask. IMO i would buy your own DA and do it yourself, it's not difficult at all and you'll learn quite a bit along the way. Leeroy's option is good if you...

Lol I guess my virsion of ruined is different to yours then

He's hardly ruined the front end, he's added a tow strap which is actually for a purpose (thankfully) and some plates which have a thick font, you're going on as if he's fitted a chavy front bumper and angel eyes to it

That will be worth a lot...in 20 years time
