July 2014 - (Minor) Update
Fred took the car for an MOT today... and it passed. That's a relief Time to get the tax sorted... pfft.
I'd just like to say a big "thanks" to Chip-mk1 and Chi for their offer of help in getting the Trophy to Leeds for mapping (if Fred's tow guy isn't available). Much appreciated guys and I think Fred will be glad to see the back of it.

LOL!
To be honest, it is plainly clear that the Polo rad is absolute pap and not suitable for this engine spec really (although arguably would be fine if on a pure track car). It was climbing high with the temperature whilst just idling. I'll be looking to get it changed sooner rather than later. I also plan to add a Mocal catch tank to replace the hosepipe and coke can currently in use
Best place to get a Mocal oil catch tank from, anyone? Cheers
See above sirAny updates for us Andy?

It does, Oli. Which is a good thing as I'm struggling without wheels at the moment. Especially as there are no public transport links to/from where I work!Congrats on the MOT. Getting it back on the road edges ever closer
Cheers Marc. I'll give you a shout when it's back and we can get John out and do Clio 'stuff'. By the way, did you ever get a firmware update for your setup that resolved the dashboard light problems? I kept asking K-Tec and was constantly told they'd have an update for me soon... I still haven't had a single update.

You should have said, you could have borrowed the flamer for a bit. It's sat in the garage doing nothing and looking sorry for itself.

Mate - it would have been awesome to borrow the Flamer! Like the Vee, however, I would have struggled to give it back... Never mind, thanks all the same Oli and thanks for being trusting enough to even have had that thought cross your mind!

When I bought mine a good while back. Burton Power was the cheapest I could find after a lot of looking around. Could have changed since though obviously so doesn't really help you too much LOL
No idea how much it cost me though as my memory isn't that good!

Sharky my blue 172 track car is with Fred and has a brand new alloy radiator sat in the boot if it's any good for you, Fred knows I want to sell it so ask him if it would suit your car. Look at my Ph-1 172 (racing blue track car) to see the type.

Thanks for the offer all the same - much appreciated.
@Fred@BTM - in case you read this before I get chance to call you... would it fit and be suitable in your opinion? If so I would be happy to come to some arrangement with yourself for fitting and, of course, purchasing from Barron.
EDIT: The important thing is that I need it sorting (if suitable) ASAP as I am genuinely getting desperate for wheels to be mobile again. I don't want to be hiring a car if possible and putting out those kind enough to offer their own vehicles for my use (as much as it is appreciated!)
Thanks for the kind offer, Chi. A week or two earlier and I would take you up on your offer but it's not worth it now I don't think. Due to work and existing commitments I'd have trouble making the necessary arrangements to pick it up and get it back to you. Hopefully the T won't be too much longer now thoughGot a ph1 you can borrow mate
Thanks for the offer all the same - much appreciated.Thanking you kind sirs - I will take a look (and see if any discounts apply anywhere). Cheers.
Thanks for the link mate. I'll take a look later. I have to admit I may well be interested in Barron's (below)... if it will fit. I have to hold up my hands and say that I don't know what size I'm looking at to fit my new setup.Polo radiators are too small.
Try this one
Thanks for the heads-up mate.

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6]
The one I linked to is the same one I'm running, it cools well enough on the hottest days and on track. The best part is its only £25 and it works perfectly.
You can get off the shelf all alloy versions of the same size but with a thicker core for around £120-130. Or you can have a custom one made up for £240

That would be good mate!!
Yep I had that update a long while back now that got rid of all the lights on the dash and enabled all the trip functions. When I had it mapped in march this year after the cams I had the latest firmware update installed mate.

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6]
I'm not sure mate... I got the impression that they would send out firmware updates to customers who bought the kit and that those with the relevant cable/software could administer the update. I might be wrong... I really don't know. I'll just leave it with Paul at RSTuning and see what he says!

No worries mate, just let me know if you do need me to move it.
Not on here much these days but if you dont catch me on here you can always find me at www.cliosportownersclub.com or facebook message me etc, will have to be a weekend though due to work commitments.

Its a shame that GEMS hands are tied and cant help you directly when its one of their Gen90 variant units, having to go via Ktec just makes the whole process so much more painful that it needs to be, but obviously they have the exclusive on it.
Shame, cause it is fundamentally a decent ECU!

If a rad lasts 7+ years then I'd be happy with that.
Thanks for the heads-up - I'll give you a shout if needs be mate.
Indeed - it would have been handy to go directly to GEMS but , alas, it's not to be. I'll see what Paul says when he gets the car for mapping. He may well have firmware upgrades / updates available.

I've got a prestige transport guy that owes me a favor down south. I don't really need trailoring anymore since I bought one of those Jap cans that tend to work most of the time

Cheers Ash. Yep, I'll be bringing the Trophy along to Llandow. And, all being well, I'll be pootling around at a nice steady pace. As well as taking photographs on the day I'm also the mobile chicane for the day
