I've bought some TSW Stealths, & im going to have them as my spare wheels for the Trophy. As such, & purely as the rest of the Trophy owners hate me for messing with such a rare beast of almost Ferrari F40 awesomeness, & never cleaning it, i would like to spray them pink 1st - or another...

Can i use anything better than mud? Currently find it stops the paint getting scratched, but leaves the pink looking slightly dull :dapprove: Any tips. Please note, i dont like cleaning, so if there's something i can spray on the car whilst it rains, im all ears. The car in question. As...

Yup, i finally gave in. 1st name terms with the chap at Shell was daft really ... Its not that the 330ci was particularly bad on fuel (30mpg), but having to put £70 in it every 4 days was getting a little tiresome :eek: So, research into dervs followed, & having laughed at BMW's epic lack...

Just been quoted £1,245 to insure my 330 next year ... Yes. One thousand, two hundred & fourty five pounds lol. At 28, with 7 years no claims. Are they on drugs? Elephant only want £530 Apparently, im high risk as i use my car for commuting to work, no one else does that normally...

Ok, so i dont normally *****, but thanks to James (JMS) and Mike (FailSport) last night, the TroFail is now finished. I'm sure a few of you will have read my project thread, & i'll update that with more info than in here, but chuffed isnt the word, it drives brilliantly & looks ruddy lovely imho...

I need new tyres for my latest purchases, the car will be used for track days, & occasional road use ... T1R's are £30, & offer 'normal' levels of grip, so are fun on track. But the sidewalls are soft & wear isnt amazing. If i get a puncture i can go to the local corner shop and buy one with...

As above really, could i have wheels with the following ET's: Front pair - ET30 Rear pair - ET35 Obviously i would add spacers if required, so as to achieve the same width all round, but would the wheels different ET's affect the handling balance, due to wheels being heavier or anything?

I've had a search ;) Lots of info on turning the airbag lights off, etc, which im not overly bothered about - dash looks nice atm, just like my xmas tree lol. But, & this is probably a daft question, but how the hell do i wire up the horn? I read about adding a PH1 stalk? But this sounds...

1 x Roofrack 1 x Trailer 1 x stance + lows = 'scened' 911 GT3, no ? I'm sure freeboner, turkish delight and the dude with the bora will cream themselves ;)

I have recently been introduced to a specialist insurer who may be useful for some people on here with proper, occasional use track cars. Remember that 'Day Insurance' companies dont generally tend to insure 'modified' cars for road use ... As such, if you meet the following criteria, drop me...

Due to paisley freight being useless & failing to collect some wheels for me from holme, lincolnshire ... Is there a local member that could perhaps pick them up for me, Who perhaps works in an office 9-6 so booking another collection is a wee bit easier. Matey who ive bought them from works...

Should have bought one years ago. For the boring stuff its comfy, well built, spacious & cruises effortlessly. But when you put your foot down, it pulls like a train, sounds fantastic & handles like no big car should. Sarah hates the interior, but i love it! Myrtle wood & sand leather ftw...

Absolute bargain, considering these are £175 new. Blue label so ok for MSV track days http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260683668263&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Now keeping the Trophy for ever, & done 3k this month in the TT. As such, i need something more suitable to hero mileage/towing, ie a 330d. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2227705.htm

I currently have some clio fitment 2118's, so et43, 4 x100 pcd & centre bore of 60.1. How would i go about fitting these to an Mx5 with similar ET & pcd, but with a centre bore of 54.1?

Trophy #461 No clean shots in here detailing freaks. It gets driven, & it gets driven hard. 172k miles & counting. Mud is courtesy of the field at Haynes, which was perfect for handbrake turns ;) Trophy #433 (now owned by Luke_89)...

Cue the jokes/haters/roflcopters :rasp: Yup, the gearbox isnt overly precise, the steering isnt very positive & the engine sounds like a washing machine, but its a lovely place to sit & certainly better than a Fabia VRS. Spec wise, its in a pretty rare colour (mauritius blue), with silver...

Just found this one PH, CL10 wanted to say Hai it would seem: Gave the Clio a bit of a blat and parked it on my drive, sloped down towards the house. 20 minutes later I heard a loud bang which shook the house. When I opened the front door my car had travelled about 20 feet down the drive and...

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...

Looks fantastic, a very good example imho :star: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1882311.htm

Maybe worth a sticky? Thought these may be useful for anyone looking into buying one of these great little cars. Using the Pistonheads running cost calculator, i do a detailed breakdown of everything spent on my cars. It covers: Depreciation Insurance Tyres Tax Servicing/repairs (luckily...

Not sure what scene this falls into tbh, but i think it looks fairly epic now .... Not sure why though, it goes against everything i believe in lol ... Ah well, hope some of you like it :cool:

Currently have some 15's for track, came with 2 x T1R and 2 x PE2's. Would use the Toyo's on the front/Michelins on the rear ... now im not normally a fan of mix & match as its a bit inconsistent, so am considering buying 2 more of either. The question is, do i go for another pair of T1R's @...

At the end of the a339, about 6.30pm last night. Hai x

**Warning essay content** Having now owned the Trophy for a month & 2k miles, i thought i had better put a little thread up about :D ... i'll add some more pictures of it when i get my pc up & running in the next week or - i've recently moved house & its currently in a box somewhere in the...

Black '53 plate, with 4 neds in it. Stop trying to get in the boot of the Trophy, i dont want to give you a lift. Oh & your BB4 wont make your car any faster, just louder.

Always a good time, & you get to look at some cars other than clio's for a change ... In the afternoon, they show the Grand Prix on their huge screen as well :cool: Info here: http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=22036. 1. Sir_Dave
