Re: A few new additions to Trophy 147/500 - RS2 Fitted
Ok, confirmed the car is off to micks to remedy the internal problem with a complete head rebuild.

Re: A few new additions to Trophy 147/500 - RS2 Fitted
Chip that would be great! obviously I dont want to order the valves if there not the route cause but as soon as Mick gets it apart ill know more.
The main reason we think its the valves is because upon doing the leakdown test one...
Re: A few new additions to Trophy 147/500 - RS2 Fitted
Oh and just to add I may also be completing the head build with supertec valves and engine dynamics cams, depending on price differences!

Re: A few new additions to Trophy 147/500 - RS2 Fitted
To be perfectly honest chip the car currently handles better and is quick enough for my driving ability to ever reach its limits. Ill get James to set ip up to what he believes is right and then if it doesnt suffice ill give Mark a call...
