Bumpety. Could people please remember to bring £3 in change :)

I have various reasons, & dont really feel that i need to explain myself. Essentially, having just spent in excess of £1500 on the Trophy's engine & ancilliaries in preventative maintenance, after discussion with others, it seemed a tad daft to enter into a situation where the mapper may (or...

The car that made me want a Trophy. Hope the new owner enjoys it as much as i enjoy mine :D

And makes for 'amusing' handling, especially with a 2.8 engine ;)

As far as i am aware, this wont be happening now. The offer was to me & Duck, as sceptical old sods. Duck owns a BMW, & i've gone with a different option for convenience.

Not sure why you'd ever want to be taken to Uxbridge to hang out lol ... unless you were wearing a stab vest? JMS is on the bank of the river Thames, its sunny. Walk a mile east on the river and there is a lovely pub called the Thames Court. Go there, eat drink, watch the boats. Sorted.

Normally get 10, but Nick & Bigman are out again this week, so might be wise to bring your mate ...

All booked: 1. Ollie 2. Budgie 3. Tom 4. Kris 5. Dave 6. 7. 8.

As per my pm to Ktec, I will no longer be partaking in this offer, but have suggested another suitable candidate.

Looks nice enough :cool: Although if you're fitting a 'braided cutch hose' make sure you remove the clutch delay valve (CDV) 1st, makes a huge difference to the feel of the car! Also, FYI, the cheapo eBay coilovers (Raceland) i think, are well thought of in the e36 world. If you haven't...

Great kit, id have a set if they made them for cup-packed 182's...

CS sticker in rear window, & ring sticker on the boot ...

Lol, cheeky sod!!! True though ... ;) Dave. <3 you. Guess uve been drinking like i have lol. My Trophy is a shed. Although, perhaps thats half the appeal ...

Buy daves, far better car for the money than the other one imho. But imho, having done 25k a year in 1*2s before, leave it relatively standard. Cheap & fun then.

Lovely!! Good to see another Trophy being used properly ;)

Iirc well known itb'd 182's are only worth about £3k, which i think is less than u want for it ;)

£400 ia an absolute bargain!! Shame about the Gaz, more unfortunate that it was fairly predictable :(

On the flipside, the setup that Jay/Tony use might be fine for them, but not fine for someone esle. Suspension is all about preference remember.

Ooft. Thats one way to add camber i suppose ... ;)

Re: "Mechanically Inept" Dave.'s TDF'd ITB & Cammed 182 FLOL. Already for sale?! You doughnut, she wont give birth for months yet lol.

Re: "Mechanically Inept" Dave.'s TDF'd ITB & Cammed 182 Congrats on the news Dave!! On the flipside, most people break itb'd clio's after 3-6 months of building them anyway, so its nothing to be surprised about really ;)

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse I had meaned to change them, honest :o Well, if you're offering .... it really could do with a then a Not especially, maybe 5mm max. with about 10mm at the rear. Then i pulled the interior out, which raised it back up again ...

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse Little update as the car has now been on holiday for a week. Not because JMS are slow i might add, but because i told them to take their time, im in no rush to get it back. Purely as it only sits on the drive gathering dust till the next...

And the lack of abs!!

Its been for sale since i was looking for my 1st Trophy. That was last May. No Sachs = no Trophy.

History/condition is more important than mileage. FYI my '55 Trophy has 174k on it ... Get a 172, or 182 (non-cup packed) for additional suspension options. The cup-packed 182's are a ballache in that regard. Cambelt, etc needs correct locking tools to change. Other than that, theyre...

Made a fair bit of difference with my old saxo. Only had Saxposrt exhaust, raceland manifold & raceland induction kit, but would just about keep up with Ollie's cup to 90mph, certainly wasnt embarassed :) Pulled quite a bit out as you can see ... If its only a 2nd car, experiment...

Torque is for pulling caravans ;) From memory, the Recaro's in the Trophy weighed about 3 tons when i took them out, Bimarcos are alot lighter and give for more support on track/allowing you to go quicker - mainly as you dont have to use the transmission tunnel as a wedge to stop you falling...

I'd disagree personally, i dont think you would leave a stripped cup easily. Pull away slightly, but not drop it like a sack of potatoes. We carried out similar scientific testing with the itb'd 182 i broke recently iirc. You would actually be amazed at how much difference losing 100kg...

Thing is, yours isnt really stripped either tbh, just swopping to buckets & removing the rear bits & bobs (like mine), but due to lower weight (around 1000kg) is pushing out approx. 180 bhp per ton. The OP's Ph-Lard with ITB's, is only at 184bhp per ton, so in effect, probably isnt any...
