Cheers Dan, going again this year if you're around in September? The more (Trophys) the merrierGood read. Gutted I didn't come to the Welsh Weekender last year. Looked a good turn out
Cheers Rob, nice of you to say. I'm looking forward to catching up and seeing (/experiencing) yours sometime in the coming months.The gold looks great Tim! As do the Brembo's!
What are your thoughts on the lowered subframes now you've managed to fit them? They're great IMO.
Top work buddy!
Cheers Mike. Don't get me wrong, the Hankooks are a credible proposition somewhere on the spectrum, but for what I want tyres to do they're just not up to it.looks good with gold rims, are you saying you dont like the evo v12?
Me to bud! Well overdue a catch up!Cheers Rob, nice of you to say. I'm looking forward to catching up and seeing (/experiencing) yours sometime in the coming months.
I wasn't sure about the subframes, whether they represent good value for money, and to be fair I have only driven 50 miles on them so no verdict as yet but I have to say I was really surprised at how much of a difference they made on first impression.

I've put the standard Trophy Turinis back on and they're now wearing Continental WinterContact TS850s - great cold weather tyres. The gold Cup-offset Turinis are looking for a new home, if anyone's interested, let me know.
The car is running so sweetly at the moment, the major belts service done earlier this year combined with the Recaro lowering adapters have made it as awesome a place to be as it's ever been, if not more so. I might sound like a broken record but I love this car so much, I really can't see it ever going.
It won't be long before I have a PMS shifter in my possession too, another mod which will further improve the driving experience, but other than that there are no further plans for the winter. It won't get driven too much before spring but I'm already starting plans for next year, which include a lap of Wales in April, another in June then back again in September for the Trophy Weekender, plus a few of us have talked about heading out to the N24 in May, although I'll passenger over if there's room in someone else's car.
The only other thing worth mentioning is that I'm seriously considering picking up a mk1 Eunos - I want to try topless RWD motoring and it's significantly cheaper than a Caterfield but finding one that's within budget and not rusted through might be a challenge. Watch this space...

That would look brilliant with one of the Marc R battery covers. The oil catch can would probably sit better on the battery cover as it can be bolted at the bottom too.Forgot to add, #455 is now sporting a Vibratechnics engine mount too - here's how the engine bay currently stands:

Ooh that means you've been having bent mots then! Lol! No horn is a fail! 😂Another ph1 indicator stalk arrived in the post this morning - the horn button failed on the last one about 3 years ago, and it's annoying not having one.
I also picked this up and will be making it look a bit nicer before fitting:
