3.5 months to build this engine upto spec? Jesus lol you're very patient mate I'd be ripping my hair out by now it seems to be taking ages. I hope it's worth all the hype when you get it back :)
What's it like to drive with that steering wheel on? It looks like it sticks out further than a standard one and I found the standard was a bit close anyway :/
I like the way you're going with this, not keen on the colour of the wheels, screams a little too much chav to me but all the same it's...
haha nah I did my research on the megs, saw some of the bills and s**t myself lol, lovely looking cars though, couldn't stop staring at yours on the way back from redcar, looks lush
Here's a thread to keep track of the progress of my Trophy #64.
This is the day I got it
On the way to hartside in the snow 'like a boss'
I haven't really done much to it since I bought it apart from fit some cooksport springs, skoda splitter, a propper trophy rear decal and one for...
Worst thing about bucket seats in a clio is getting them to sit in a decent enough position, from what I've had in the past go for custom mounts on a bimarco seat and get it sitting further enough back then you're onto a winner
Going to do my trophy soon, just been busy doing an arch detail on a 100k porsche turbo, my arse was nipping jacking that up with the experience of clio sills and jacking points.
J -- Car is looking good, coilovers came up a treat, I take it the bodies have the inox coating on them? I had my...
You should read what I said properly.
An EK9 handles better than a normal 1*2, has recaro seats, decent wheels and is quite a special car, hence why I said the Trophy is more of a direct comparison, it's the best handling stock clio 1*2, recaro seats, nice wheels and again is a special car of...
Looks gorgeous that, if it were mine I would've put a cup spoiler on it while your friend was painting the other panels and then it's done. I don't think turini's will look as good as anthracite 2118's :)
You can just pip an ek9 in a clio 1*2. Only the trophy is a direct comparison IMO. Both good suspension, good seats and they're a special model. If the keys were there for both cars (EK9 & Trophy) I wouldn't know what to take.
I tried to find T64 PHY for mine but apparently it's on an audi a4 registered in bristol, apparently some company's can track the owners down to see if they want to sell but it will probably be too expensive, I wonder if when a car gets scrapped the plates go back up for sale/allocation?
Also...
Give me a shout when it's back up for sale mate, my bro may have got rid of the van then and would probably have it back if it's still in good condition
Buy a trophy mate, you can get a nice example for £5,000 now with plenty of change should you wish to increase the performance.
Since I've had mine I've had 3 offers to buy it....I've only had this current trophy 2 weeks but it seems to catch the eyes of many people, the same people that never...
