Change of plans...

[Clart]

I'm unsure of what to do with my Trophy. Cosmetically needs a bit of paint on the rear quarter to look presentable after fitting a proper trophy colour door and now having a 2 tone car. I've also got issues with the ABS, not idea how much that is going to cost. Its never going to be perfect and this is bugging me slightly.

I'm thinking about a complete change of plan, selling all the bits of and turning into a bit of a ****.

Willwoods £500 sold
Recaros £650
Exhaust £300
Wheels £700 (I've got 7 turninis with decent tyres and 2 spare PE2s)
Whiteline £130 sold
197 wheel £200
RS192 + decat £300
Top mounts £100

Stick some F1s on it, maybe some bimarco futuras and a smaller wheel.

This way i can raise some money, still have a sub 50k trophy with both belts done which owes me approx £2500.

Am i mad?

But if you do all the above you'll have some money but still have a "two-tone" car and issues with the ABS, which surely will still annoy you?

 

[Lal B3N]

Surely its ready for track as it is?

 

[Clart]

yeah, but with the money raised i can then fix those issues. Its a cat d anyway, so I don't want to throw money at a car which isn't really going to increase the value.

 

[Ben .]

No not totally mad but would you regret it later on? If you do sell thos bit I would be interested in the seat

 

[Feirny]

Want to sell the spare PE2s dude?

What's the issue with the ABS? Are the symptoms that it's kicking in at low-speed?

If it is, you could have a split outer CV gaiter that's spraying grease on the toothed ABS ring (reluctor ring) AND/ OR the ring itself may have failed and cracked.

Either way, drop me a PM if you need help and I could perhaps give you some pointers.

 

[Clart]

I've had it on the clip diagnostics and it just says there is a fault with the ABS Computer. I've had the connector off and reseated but no joy.

It really pisses me off that most 1*2's are worth more in bits lol

Thats exactly what i did. Bought Trophy, sold all the posh bits, spent the money on track days.

 

[leeroybrown]

Is there only me who actually likes there trophy these days?

People either selling up or breaking the car.

Sad day

 

[Martin.]

Does the air bag come with the 197 wheel? Is that the one I saw with the Red colour coding?

 

[Hixle]

Frustrating about the door Chris

It makes complete sense to do that mate, I would.

Look at it this way, yours should go up in value

 

[Clart]

Its annoying, i want a perfect trophy, but this one is never going to be that. I'm only thinking of doing this because it makes sense financially.

 

[BlackGoldMatt]

If you go ahead with this, i would be intrested in the recaros.

Might be a stupid question, but I'm genuinely asking

 

[Clart]

yes it is, modified to bolt straight on so that cruise control works.
