LOl, yeah I don't think it was so much the cost, but when we passed him a couple of track days before in the Clio he realised they are not so suited to Knockhill lol, pretty much why I never ran my RS4 up there but used the Clio instead.....
Looks like there was a reasonable Clio turn out...
I know, that's the main thing! just tell us when they will actually be sent and you can deal with it, this constant tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow pish just grinds on you!
Curtis did mention he had 2 sets to go out..... Assures me he was posting both sets out yesterday mate on an overnight delivery...... I've decide not to hold my breath though!
I know, weather was spot on too.......... I was hoping to get up for a look mate, thought you might have been there.
another mate had bought a Clio too and is well and truly bitten by the bug it looks like so would have been good to see how he rated it over his RS4!
Well today's update.............. The last couple of days have been a bit of a pain to tell you the trust, topped off by missing out on today's track day at Knockhill! bit of a s**t@*r, but a time line below of the weekend events starting on Thursday night
Thursday:
Get back from Aberdeen to...
Looking great mate, I maybe have to think about the brakes next...... Especially after seeing these and the issue i had !! :-) ( i'll explain that one later :-) )
I was just looking at your thread mate, your car is coming along nicely :up: The bodies do sound spectacular and I'm hoping I see the results others have with them.
It looks like you may be bitten with the track bug now as well!
Yeah we must catch up mate, I've been meaning to nip down to have a look at your cup...... I look at your engine bay in your thread and think with the time and effort that's gone into my one I should have powder coated a lot more....... problem is that is what I do with my show cars and never...
Time and patience mate lol!! externally its pretty easy if you have the correct size hole saws and a grinder, always tape the bonnet up and drill small pilot holes first as a guide!!. Under the bonnet I should have got cutting disc for the Dremmel to tidy that up but I used the grinder as well...
Cheers mate.... So many views and opinions on this subject hard to know what to believe or do. Large consensus on the results of the k Tec item though!
Fraser said the same about Blyton. Highly recommended it! Pity my holiday conflicts with the September weekend as I would have enjoyed the trip down! knockhill may be up for it. Like most tracks they struggle for cash so it may be a cash generator for them.... ?
I agree mate. If we can organise something for down south next year that would be great. There's quite a few places to choose from and of course organise the same at knockhill, as Neil suggested, for the guys from down south to come up for.....
Any bad feedback about the Jenvey one or the Piper Cross one (slightly cheaper to buy than Jenvey!) With all the bad feedback in not sure I want to take the chance with the k Tec one. On looking at it the k Tec one (hold it up to the light) it has got a little thin at one area on the...
I'm going to miss the CSOC weekender, Fraser was just emailing me the link, seemingly 10 places left but we are on holiday so no go :cry:, would have been good to get a closer look at few others down there and try out a different track.........
hope so mate, if I can get a few tyres swapped over and all goes well on Friday I may try for this Sundays open day. I'm not booking it yet, possibly will on the way back up Friday! are you in it?
Well, I made a little progress over weekend, weather didn't help mind you but in between the rain showers I managed to get the aero catches fitted to the bonnet, which allowed me to get the bonnet secured and get out for my well awaited test drive. roads were very wet and although it started to...
i'll look into it mate, spent a bit of time fitting it and cutting it down flush, seems pretty solid so i'll monitor it and go from there....... did the epoxy make a difference?
Well another update in the life and times of Trophy 381............
ITB install completed after a few nights of hassle, car finally running after a new TPS arrived from Jenvey today 😢. Spent 2 nights trying to get the base settings working with the K-tec software and couldn't get it to set...
it was a Toyo sports can, I didn't buy it, it came as part of the set up, but yes very neat and has now been relocated to suit the ITB install. I have put a link below to a similar item, hope this helps...
