Yes Mark your words are correct but you conveniently neglected the fact that they are rebuildable for not much more than a replacment pair of much inferior dampers to reinforce your argument that the trophy is an less attractive option.

Why would you want to replace them when you can get them refurbished? Also i got some off eBay recently for £370, £185 each, not exactly expensive. Nothing against you Mark but i wish people would stop spouting the same misinformed rubbish

Was using the orange crush on mine and yeah is very good, then i got one of the tester pots of Supernatural...................Fantastic stuff.

Surely the grill disrupts the airflow, i always thought it was quite important to get a smooth airflow, though i'm prepared to be told otherwise:-)

Here you go maybe worth a looksie; http://cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5802

Are you sure it's the suspension? A couple over on CT have found that it's the tailgate.

Yes..........and is that not expensive? (i actually thought it was more than that)

+1 Top rubber washer?????? When Mark fitted mine we really tightened them went for a drive tightened again etc and then marked where they were. Not moved since but i do get the occasional bang and road noise is increased.

They are stupidly expensive, even the ones i've seen on ebay have gone for good money.

Me too, in most cases anyway. thought it was a good indication that the subframe was fooked.

you mean the guy who in the last year has had a 172cup, twin turbo supra and is now getting bored of the 5? He works with me. BTW i go to Rentech as well.

Ok, Thanks for that. Surprised i've not spotted you recently, Ewelme is the start of one of my favourite "hooning routes":)

Who's that Munday? be good to have another local option.

The trophy has camber of 0.5, i changed mine to 2.0 by fitting an aero quality 12mm bolt, cost- almost nothing.

Anyone? And we're talking socket size.

Off the top of there heads, does anyone know the size of the bolts on the back of the front brake caliper on a 182?

No though a pair of small hands will help, when they say offset pins they mean the two lugs that that hook into the bulb holder are not directly opposite each other

Claying and the tar remover will strip that off anyway so just start from the top again. Sorry didn't read that properly, yes you really need to rewash.

1) Yes 2) Tar remover-apply with a soft cloth 3) Clay- best to use a detailing spray to lube or a slightly higher concentrate of shampoo in a spray 4) to 6) yep 7) you can do the same process as the car without the wax.

The megs kit is a brilliant starting point, not too abrasive whilst doing the job. Best to get separate tar remover.

The Brakes on the trophy have been discussed loads over on CT just recently so it's worth a look over there. Recently had some work done that involved fitting pagid blue, brembo discs, lines, fluid, solid top mounts, alignment and camber and the car is totally transformed.

Before and after on the same RR would be a better bet, then you can see what they've added. And 179 is still very generous, more like 170.

Yeah but you have to remember that in the real world they were never 182. And now i'm off to my shelter.

Front pads, disc's, lines and alignment are a definate, decent exhaust and the Maxogen (although the reno unit is good, maybe just loose the acoustic valve) a live remap (do not bother with one of the off the shelf flash maps, they are not worth the money) Warren was right when he said that the...

Same reason you shouldn't wash towels with conditioner. Quick tip, if you drop any microfiber pick off all the bits you can before you wash, any organic stuff will work itself into the cloth during the wash and then they're buggered.

Hey, if it is it doesn't really matter, it's been put back to standard and that's what counts:D

Is that the one that some idiot dealer decided might look better with silver trim? It didn't and i'm glad someone put it back to standard.

Ah, paintbrush fine i suppose. Mine don't seem to get much use before they hit the basin for a wash anyway. I.E. i'm really slow.

Spur the pad?
