Fred kindly dropped me a line this morning with some good news... looks like all the parts have FINALLY (pretty much) arrived so things should be moving along very soon indeed. And hopefully he's got a spare Phase 1 cylinder head somewhere as well... With a bit of luck there should be some photos on the way soon.

Hi mate, and thanks for reading through. Although I'm not taking the blame for your late night / early morning!I read this Trophy's life story on another site last night, didn't get to sleep till after 2.30am... You've certainly had your problems, can I assume K Tech and TDF would not be your first port of call for repairs?
Hope everything starts to pick up for your Trophy, im on the search for my own..
Flol he re-did most of the work that took TDF 6 months in 2 and half days and that was including teaching me everything we were doingFred needs to add the slogan "Good things take time so don't rush me...ever"

LOL! It's alright, Fred... we all know you are a lazy, work-shy sort of guy... Hence the bad reputation and constantly empty workshop... :quiet:^you're not helping my cause LOL! hush!
Thanks mate - looking forward to it myself! There's going to be one or two road trips / drives planned once 'Dusty' is back home (Dusty as I'm informed she's currently sitting under a thick layer of 'protective' dust and grime. Hey, it saves a fortune on waxes, right?id say this is definatley the car i wanna see finished the most on here , fingers crossed for u mate although we all know she's in good hands :hail:
I would love an engine spec like Ian's but I don't fancy having it rebuilt every couple of thousand miles! It will be a bit more conservative (along the lines of Yozza's as Fred has linked to) and it should go pretty well. I've been doing my bit in terms of losing a bit of weight (not that I have any to lose) to help improve the power-to-weight ratio alongside the removal of the aircon system.Is this goin to be a simular engine to ians rally car at godspeed?
This is guna be a weapon by the sounds of things wish i had the cash to do somthing like this !
Well, I don't know about being a weapon but it will no doubt put a smile on my face, especially being a massive NA fan. Of late there seems to have been an upturn in the number of people going boosted (or showing interest in boost) but it just doesn't do it for me. Nothing against boost of course (Chip's car is sensational to give a prime example) but I'm not after figures or massive torque, just that 'pure, highly-strung' NA drive, which I appreciate is not everyone's cup of tea. No doubt I could have had a lot more power and torque for the same money if I'd gone boosted, but that was never the intention. As for having the cash... well, long hours and being old(er) helps.This is guna be a weapon by the sounds of things wish i had the cash to do somthing like this !
Hollywood wages, mate. You knowsit! LOL! The keys are yours when you fancy a spin mate.Andy had the cash to do this twice.............once! :rasp:
Can't wait to see it.
I would be telling lies if I said I didn't enjoy the sound they make... I'm hoping to do a trackday or two mate. I'm not sure which/when as yet due to work but I will be at the BurpSpeed Llandow day in August. I can't really plan for much else at the moment though. I will be out and about driving some of our great Welsh roads (can I say 'our' despite being English?!) whenever I get the chance. It would be rude not to!Ive noticed too mate boosted clios are getting popular . Still think the itb sound wins everytime though . You plannin on any track days this year ?
Of course, anytime mate.I want a look when it's done
A nice, compact 4L V8 should do the job nicely...My mini I still might go N/A on for example.

After a few set backs and delays waiting for parts (and being sent forged rods that were not well enough matched in terms of weights) Fred, as he's mentioned, is now putting it together. Exciting times! And I'm sure he'll be glad to see the back of it!Any Progress ??
The throttle position sensor should be with you very soon mate... On a side note, will you be using the Pure Motorsport aircon delete kit? I think that's what was said when we spoke about it some time back.diff is off at Quaife, bottom end is pretty much done, just waiting on a lower oil chain cover gasket then i can sort the top end and start putting the car back together
Ah yes, of course. Did you notice the 20bhp increase once you'd fitted it?! LOL!Can't wait to see this in action, This car should be A Animal after everything.
And im glad my car has a bit of your car in it lol
I'm sticking with the one I've already got, Keith - GEN90.Which ECU will you be using Andy?
