yeah i'm from uttoxeter i usually go stoke way rather than stafford.
look better in red dont they ali?
Not a bad build considering the only tools I had was a £10 jigsaw, it's not to clear on the pic but it's a false floor with only 3mm of the amp sticking up, also built space behind the box to store the jack and puncture repair tins.
latest addition is the matched and polished inlet manifold and plenum off tim:
need to do a bit more work in here ^^^ now I think

painted them capsicum red then as I'm a signwriter I got some metalic silver vinyl which matches the trophy logo and cut it at work, It's not bubbled up yet but i'll have to keep an eye on it might need to get it cut out of paint pask and spray the letters on.
Those brakes do get hot!! How you finding them??
In the morning, first 5mins they were quite scary! Not much braking force!
Once their hot tho! f**k me there impressive!
VX220 Turbo
they do take a good hard press before they do anything first time but then after that they get a lot better, i'd imagine i'd need to re-paint and graphic them up in about 6 months time but i dont mind it only took me half a day to do it all. Didn't even take them off the car lol.
VX220 Turbo
I think they are the forge silo strut tops (I bought them of the bay)
I did need to chop a bit off the thread part to lower them down a bit and stop them touching the bonnet.

i'm tempted to visit mark fish and have the suspension dropped a little bit.
No more clio's for me!
Can the trophy suspension be adjusted or is it set? :S
VX220 Turbo
fixed height but has an adjuster on the front fro damping needs to have a pin removed though and it might invalidate the warranty on the shocks if removed

VX220 Turbo

mini-valver
Aye, there is that! All in good time dude
VX220 Turbo
ahh I forgot about that it's probably on my driveway somewhere.
VX220 Turbo
yeah only thing is the pads rattle a bit over bumps, think i need to take them out and squirt some more copper grease on the back of them.
VX220 Turbo
good point i forgot the compbrake dont have dust seals on them, copper grease might not be the best idea then

I never need to use my boot the most I ever need to carry is a few bags of shopping which once the rear bench has been lifted up they fit there nicely.
it's very rare i ever need anythig to go in the boot and also have passengers.

thanks guys glad you like it.
I've been asked what products I use by a couple of people:
cleaned using the 2 bucket method using a meguires lambs wool wash mit.
meguires water magnet chamois followed by a meguires terry towel
meguires clay bar and quick detailer
meguires 3 stage system no 1 paint cleaner,with a foam pad removed with a fresh microfiber cloth.
meguires 3 stage system no 2 polish, with a fresh foam pad removed with a second microfiber cloth.
zymol titanium glaze applied by hand (no polish cloths or sponges) removed with a zymol microfiber cloth.
after wach wash everything goes in the washing machine ready for their next use.
meguires tyre shine stuff (the purple one)
autosol or meguires metal polish.
rainx glass cleaner then rainex water repeller.
nothing fancy at all really. I could do with buying a rotary polisher to remove a couple very light swirl marks but I can wait for that to be done as only I can spot them.
