TRACK TROPHY 381 – PROGRESS TO DATE

I know mate..... I actually fancy an AG like yours or a LY to keep track day but also road...... 🙈

So any offers for the red one on a post card to......

No mate we modify the original hubs that are fitted to your car. No need to mess around modifying strut casings then. Price is £650 delivered mate.
Yeah thought it would be in that region, see at this point i'm stuck because I currently run spax which I think are too soft and roll too much so ultimately, looking for less roll, do I go for some better coilovers (like Gaz Golds) with stiff springs up front to address the roll issue like the 750mc guys have done, or just get a roll centre kit?

Well a roll centre kit will allow the dampers to work correctly mate, so it does mean a softer spring can be used. What rate you on now?

Yea that's what I was thinking but then I just generally feel its too soft, so unless I upgrade and get something stiffer then I don't think I will feel like my issue is 100% solved (unless the difference with RC kit is that crazy).
I'm running standard spring rates (340F 230R ish I think), I have thought about getting stiffer springs but it would probably need revalving which I can't justify and I don't quite know what I could get away with without breaking them so it's an ongoing dilemma for me, and not having a big budget makes things a whole lot harder!

Thanks mate. Yeah she tries really hard! KNOCKHILL is great fun and would certainly be worth a trip to :grimacing:

I know it's not an issue with you the car being roadworthy (mot'd) but do you think the sunstrip would pass an MOT that low? Thinking of similar for mine but I use mine on the road on weekends so needs to be mot'd

It's a two part sun strip, that from the inside you can see through...... but short answer is NO!

It's actually the only thing that stops it being road legal, it was fully MOT'd until that went on

Thought as much mate, looks awesome but I had a feeling it would be illegal

TODAYS UPDATE........ and it's a sad one!

IMG_3669.JPG


After 3 years of owning and making Trophy 381 my own, and to be fair something special in her own right, I loaded her up onto the trailer for the last time...... she came out of storage today and was delivered to her new owner!

I was majorly having second thoughts right up until she came off the trailer and was delivered, it's amazing how u become attached! I certainly will miss her and all the fun at KNOCKHILL!!!


......... more to follow though

Cheers Scott

Funny things Clio's!! They always seem to find KNOCKHILL 🙈

I'm sure this one will be no different...... I have said to myself that this will not end up as hardcore as the Trophy, strangely enough I remember saying something similar when I started with that !!!!! I have a winter to think it all out lol

I would probably agree I think Gavs collection is outstanding, but he has to run out of space at some point!

I hope so mate

The AG is a different thing altogether. The trophy was kinda a one off, but I'm hoping to do something special with this as well..... I have a winter to think it through
 
Mixed emotions for you Craig! Gutted to see you part with your amazing Trophy however loving the fact you bought Gav's AG 200!! Congratulations

She'll be getting tucked away now for the winter and that will give me time to think of a few ways of modifying.....

2 new number plate lights are ordered, along with a new oil filler cap and screen wash bottle top (as I'm not a fan of the colour coding and prefer yellow as new look) :smile:

Awesome motor this one.

I was so close to buying this also. If it wasn't in Scotland and closer to the midlands I would have viewed it and more than likely bought it.

Oh and this car deserves a project thread of its own :wink:

Once I know its direction it will be started :up:

Track monster, with my usual detailing OCD or SHOW n SHINE with the occasional track day use......

It will be started soon :smile:

Yes I was reading...... I like that idea

My initial thoughts are back to standard interior, keep it mint, but extend the safety devices rear to full cage (dash doge).... get the car up on the stands and have the underneath match the top, then play a little more with the engine....

Too many decisions.... like you I think AG will appreciate, so I'm thinking it's a long term keeper :blush:

Worth every penny I'd say :up:
 
It's not "for sale" at the moment, I think his mate has first dibs on it though
