Trophy 007 and the story so far.......

[T.Trophy]

This is the first T I've seen on 2118's looking pretty good Chris, I had decided to stick with turinis but think I might grab a set of these if there's a good deal on at the minute

 

[jonesyFX]

Orite chris mate, car is looking great just a shame about the problems you have had! I will have to have a cheeky look when I come to you for a detailing session

Nooo!!! your trophy has to look as standard as possible!

 

[Silent_Scone]

very nice fella, hope you get your new lump all sorted fairly pain free

 

[Keith185]

2012 plan:

225 megane lump

F4R turbo lump!?

 

[mitch1503]

looks spot on mate. il have to have a good look at it next month when i drop my car off

 

[Chris205]

F4R turbo lump!?

Yeah mate or supercharged although id prefer to get a reward for driving it slower so turbo might be the way to go, superchargers cost a bomb to run

Oh and for the fact the big bad booost bandit lives close to me (stevieh)

his secrets r secrets

 

[Sir_Dave]

Wtf, why are u breaking it?

Surely the Gaz havent upset u enough to pull the car apart

 

[Chris205]

time to move on mate, I should never have sold the mini for it tbh, its the curse of the 2118's, I had 2118's on the ph1 for a week then decided to sell the car, impulse buys are never a good idea haha.

Nah I havent even drove it since the gaz and wheels were put on as the engine is still broke and its staying that way.....good bye Mr.Bond

 

[Fletcher]

^^^Shame that

 

[MAT ED30]

Is the car that bad? How much you after for the car? I might come save it

 

[Silent_Scone]

this is so wrong what is happening right now

 

[The_Pirate]

Too low for me, i dont understand getting a Trophy and changing the suspension...

 

[Gally]

Shame mate, a car that only 500 were made should never be broken, i'm sure someone will take the project on.

Of course the car is probably worth more in bits.

 

[Yarko]

I have some question about GAZ,
Did you use original renault rear top mounts ( bushes and washers ) to install your rear GAZ shocks ?

 

[scotty2hotty81]

you have a fookin screw loose.........

 

[Chris205]

the way I see it is this, going through its history its had a lot of previous with problems. Seems I've been hit by the most expensive problems....twice. When It no longer makes financial sense its time to go. We will see how much I get back in parts, I started to love it, then it s**t itself.

I've owned it for 7 months, of which I've probably driven it for a grand total of 2 months. Not a wise investment.

 

[marcushookdale]

let somebody else take this project on=sell the trophy, cut your losses,

but DONT BREAK no7/500 only made, thats criminail,

see if some body else can give no7 a new life.

 

[Sir_Dave]

To be honest chris i think putting it back to standard, fitting an engine, then flogging it would realise u more money than just breaking it!!

 

[.Kev.]

You buy a Clio then moan that it looks like every other?..?

Its a shame the car has been let down by its owner, such a waste.

 

[Chris205]

Wasn't really a moan tbh

I wouldn't say I let it down, I've spent over £4k on it this year and it's f**ked again and isn't my fault. When you've had to go through the s**t I have with it, then come back and tell me I let it down

 

[Barron]

If you want to sell it without the engine as a complete car, gimme a PM with a price ;-)

 

[Nick172Cup]

Same here, would love to reshell into a trophy shell!

 

[Chris205]

Nick I will give you a heads up if/when the shell is going. It will probably be pretty bare though

 

[Chris205]

Now sold on to a new owner:

New owner plans:

Cage,
Compomotive Th in flat black
Megane 225 engine
Bucket seats
Fully stripped out, no air con or abs

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

copy cat!

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol, aye was gonna say!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Now sold on to a new owner:

Argh, i did ask you whether you just wanted to sell it as a whole!!

 

[Chris205]

I wasn't after a silly offer though Dave haha you, like me enjoy a bargain. Made 4.5k back off it so about the same as I would if I put another lump in it

 

[Tommy_C]

Shame Chris - so what next?!?!

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

chris the trophy with a new engne would have been worth 6/7k!!! ur off your tree!!! LOL

and stripping another rare car to make it a stripped out car you need your head looked at

 

[Scutch]

What a crazy thread. Enjoyed reading it though.

 

[Ollie82.]

Thank god its not being broken. Crazy breaking a car like that if its only had an engine go pop.

 

[mitch1503]

soo what you ended up with now?? another clio but a cup this time????

 

[Chris205]

Silver cup updates soon

 

[mitch1503]

nice 1 mate a thought thats what it could be when Andyrg said another rare car

thatl be 2 about your way now.. only when im back in the north east tho

 

[Sir_Dave]

Silver cup updates soon

I dont get it. So you sold a mint Trophy, that needed a £300 engine to fix it.

And bought another clio, that may well suffer exactly the same engine based fate.

You're bonkers lol

 

[Chris205]

Just couldn't stand putting more money into it

 

[MAT ED30]

thank god its not getting stripped of all its soul
