I think either way just generates a massive amount of heat - only half of the heat issue is down to the method of getting the air in there, the rest of it is down to the amount of power you produce. I.E. the more power you want, the more fuel you burn, and the more heat is generated from it.
Spied this morning, turning left onto Summer Hill Road at that godawful roundabout that nobody seems to be able to use.
Didn't even notice me, I suppose!
As you so elequantly put, try reading what I put.
The Trophy is EASILY 5 or 6 times the ROAD car the Cup is. Or your dampers are fucked. The Cup just can't manage with the B-roads, the suspension isn't set up for it. The Trophy just swallows it up.
But you've obviously missed the fact that the Trophy is 5 or 6 times the road car the Cup is. And THAT is worth the £3500 on it's own.
It beggars belief that people are calling a high mileage £3500 Trophy expensive. I hope re-entry isn't painful...
My Trophy was missing it's splitter, and on the Vee it's even easier to lose it. The black in the middle of the bumper, meh, it's his choice. Seat, well, who knows.
It's not perfect, but I've seen far worse that people call 'good' condition.
If you don't want to then I'll make a quick buck, buy it for £1500, spend £1500 fixing it and sell it for £6000 and it'll last a day on PistonHeads anyway!
Buy it with worn shocks - fronts can be refurbed for £600 tops, and the handbrake will just be an issue with the caliper - replace both rear calipers at £70 each exchange, get ChipsAway or someone to do the rust patch and you've got a mint Trophy for less than £3k! Couple of tyres but hey ho!
f**k me - buy it sharpish! That's epic car for the money and as long as the car's been looked after there won't be a bean wrong with it! Worst case is a new engine at a few k and still falls cheaper than a 'low mileage' one!
What people have already said.
They will fit. You will have to get the computer software changed to understand them, I think - the difficult way of saying it is the computer needs to know the codes for each injector for it to work.
I've got a Kenny single screen unit and it's very capable but very clumsy to navigate compared to my old Alpine unit - I'd look to Alpine for that sort of money...
