Yeah they did, sure some one posted the clip on here. They tested a brand new golf gti if I remember correctly.

Had one for years on all my ph 2 sports an never had any grief but end of the day there illegal, an do not meet requirements of the law. Personally i'd now remove it as said officer will no doubt be keeping his eye out.

As you look at your engine its on the right hand side, look down at the bellhousing an you will see at the top

I usually use a high temp bearing grease on the sliders

Its important these are kept greased to keep the braking performance optimum. I had it on my old 172, made it terrible under hard braking real nasty pull as the effort isn't equal. Glad it turned out to be a slider though, nice cheap fix ;)

Strip it down an makesure all sliders are free an then try an push the piston back in with a set of large grips, more then likely seized piston in the caliper but you never know. Not sure if a rebuilt kit is available but if it is it can save you a few quid.

Glad its a weekend event to, looking forward to the camping an bbq fun!

Sounds good, I'm working but I'll try an get it off. You'll never please everyone, its always about compromising. We should all be grateful that folk are going to the trouble of organising this for us.

It ain't much further from me, yet Donnington was still closer :(

Rtoc have held there national day there a few times. Such a great venue not to be not to small, ideal for a club like CS I reckon

Yeah I'll pop some more up for ya, few engines an all that haha

Heavy! There actually off the trains I repair, we've recently changed design of dampers an Sachs have been producing the new ones! That's around 3 foot tall!

Looks good, settled really well! Wish I'd fitted them to my old 197 now :(

Even got rose jointed ends ;)

Tbh my missus has been pretty good, apart from opening the door on my old 172 into a KERB! Other that shes pretty good when she does drive them, she used to struggle in the 172 with it being on coils but in the old 197 she was sound as it was pretty easy to drive! Only thing she does do is...

Got hold of these beauties today, new style sachs dampers ;) Look a bit big but been assured they will fit!

Just wanted a heads up tbh, welding them is not a problem as I've got a mig rig.

What's the score with these new powerflex items? Is the spot welding still required?

Right cool cheers, only reason I ask was during the steering/suspension overhaul I was going to grab some 172 cup wishbones but if there the same I won't bother.

Nah I had the 172 for 18 months, spent a small fortune on it then got a 197. Then due to us buying a house I brought the T.

What an awesome daily, looks great :)

Are trophy wishbones any different to standard 182 items, i.e increased castor like the 172 cups?

Not to sure but I was pretty sure if you have xenon headlights your veichle must have a form of self leveling headlight adjustment an a form of wash wipe cleaning system.

Nah I was in me old icelandic ph2 172, it may have even been the one just to the right of yours. I'd only had it a few weeks, was me first CS drive out. I quite enjoyed it, shame there don't seem to be as many meets like this. This is my T Think a friend of yours owned it at one point

Did you attend the CS strines meet/cat an fiddle not long after you brought it?

I absolutely love my Trophy, brought it back in July an two Weeks later I took it to the ring! When I brought it it was fairly clean with loads of history, just a few age related marks (stone chips) which we'll soon be taken care of come the spring. Other then a suspension an steering...

I usually average 36mpg, thats just to an from work and general driving in the week. Usually average high 30's to 40's on a run! Even managed 48mpg on the way to the ring whilst sat behind me mates lorry! (but that was one long drive!)

A few pictures I took myself, enjoy folks

I remember when norm chucked me the keys after we'd changed the fuel tank an repaired the fuel pump! Animal to say the least!
