Silver 172 FG03 **Y and a Trophy

[ch33kychops]

I did the long haul drive to Coventry yesterday and returned today and the car is lush!

No that work was done at private mechanic ...

I supply parts he does labour for me

Man I am fooked ... too much driving!!

 

[chrish27]

Ahhh i remember Will saying ages ago that he knew a guy that's bought a Trophy. This island is too small. lol.

I was gunna come to brands. bit skint at the mo though.

need a towing eye?

Yes indeedy !!! can't fart without some bugger knowing about it

Shame, would of been cool.....Me too, but a guy I work with (Kozy) he's going so included myself.

Am ok thanks...though the weather forcast is looking sh1te (sliding off everywhere). Am now debating whether or not to get some new tyres fronts are down 2mm worst case
Will be fitting new discs (brembo Hc) and DS2500 pads before hand.

Done any mods to your one ?

 

[Si]

my car?

Bilstien B14 coilovers, and the 2118s. I was running Toyo R888s which got me to the 'ring and back and through summer but they've just come off

no engine mods apart from the OMP Inox straight through.

LEt me know how you get on with the discs and pads. I've got some HC discs sat in the garage waiting to be fitted, yet to buy some pads to go with!

Ah right, a bit better than the standard Trophy set up then.....
Just in time with this chuffing weather !!
Keep thinking about getting a set of 15's and those R888's for track days, though prob only do 1 or 2 yr.
The 'Ring' bet that was a great laugh. Love to do that....

Hopefully fitting this weekend, will let you know.

 

[Si]

I still might come along to the track day just for a look. Never been to brands! Wanna take some pics too.

Good stuff

Na, its always nice to get back in the driving seat again...thinking it was all worth it in the end

For a fiver its a quick fix for sure, for extra they will hoover it out, though I haven't let them do that to mine...

You at college on Thursdays?
Saw a Blue 182 with stripes and a Silver 172 yesterday, they could have their own mini CS meet if yours was in the car park somewhere as well.

There is never anytime for playing ... I am rather boring I shall admit ... work, study, sleep! In that order too

Si,

Managed to do the discs and pads Saturday before it rained.
Done some bedding in, traffic permitting:dapprove:. Seem pretty good, certainly seem to bite a bit better than standard. Wont really know how good they are until the trackday next week. Fingers crossed they well perform

[chrish27]

It seems that way, and I don't even know your name or what ya look like

ha ha...yes indeed i did chicken out for sure....too blinking cold at the mo...

Though you have been spotted by a fellow workman (phase 1 silver), he saw you the other day !!! his name is Si too ....

 

[chrish27]

Yep these Ds2500 pads seem pretty good... yeah had thought about doing the lines too, didn't have the time really, will be needing new tyres after the travelling + trackday....

I was going to try and do it yesterday but by the time I did all the other jobs I needed to do I was out of time and it was dark ..

Spotted ... I never saw anyone ... I am sure I am blind LOL

Car is still on the drive waiting for you to clean it BTW!

 

[chrish27]

Si,

The DS2500 performed faultlessly, amazing braking power, there good from cold, but when hot.... was doing 110-115 at the end of the straight, braked hard dropped down to 60 just like that. No fading either.
If you get them just have to file the buggers down and a bit of copper grease, sorted and don't add the shims either.
