Trophy racists!!!
Mine has a trophy engine and trophy spoiler.
And it's red.....not pink. Does that qualify :tongueout:
Joking aside, good work @Tim. and great photos @SharkyUK
I'm sorry to see the up and downs continuing here, but hopefully this is the final leg of the journey Andy.
I look forward to seeing it complete, with a tour of the Welsh roads and some like minded souls to celebrate!
As others have said, run it on track a few times first and see what you want to change.
If you head down the modifying route, I'd sort the car out in the following order;
- brakes
- tyres
- handling (including refresh of most parts and stiffening up - engine mounts etc)
- weight loss
- limited...
Yarp - ASTs.
Quite keen to see just how much difference playing with them makes. So may need to go steady until I've found the best setting for my old man driving style....
Good news. Flameshed passed its MOT and is getting taxed. Only done 400 miles this year, so taking it up to Blyton for CSF will give it a good run out. I gave it an oil change and filter change, and checked the pads etc.
Looking forward to CSF. Much excite. I'm on track in the afternoon, and...
I have had first hand experience of the bad side of k-tec.
They have a branding / image / size element to them that protects them more when things go bad.
The good news is you've bought the best colour :wink:
The bad news - 40 pages of my waffle, sorry!
It had bilstein b14 coilovers and 15mm eibach hubcentric spacers with some camber bolts back then.
So this hasn't moved since Silverstone. Out it came today, fired up first time. Reliability continues to amaze me.
Took it for a good run out, and really enjoyed it. Brakes were screaming so I need to do something about that as even I was cringing at the traffic lights in town.
Anyway, MOT is...
Yep, strongly recommend J-tech as per @masekwm 's link above.
They set mine up, and have good pedigree on previous cup racers and current 750MC Clios.
Ask for Jamie.
Found some.
Excuse the "potato phone", these were taken some time ago....
At my old flat
At a road trip in the lakes (wastwater)
At my parents house. I did love that car.

OP - I enjoyed mine very much. Bought it in 2008, Seal grey, black leather, manual and with switchable PSE.
I highly recommend the switchable PSE. Epic noise.
Only downside - the cost to run, but that's to be expected given the cost of the car new.
If you get one, enjoy!
