You got a pic of the gearknob in the car mate?
Just read this from start to finish. Inspiring stuff, properly dedicated to its upkeep.
I will be using 2013 to start sorting many bits out on mine.
Unfortunately, mine's pink lol.
Good stuff bud im there soon to get diff fitted
properly love that, excellent write up
If you can manage it, a professional paint correction and detail will bring the paintwork up a treat mate. I had it done on mine a few years back (admittedly it wasn't pink but...) and it was so glossy and wet-looking that I wanted to dip my hand into it!Unfortunately, mine's pink lol.
Nice update, mate. That gearshift sounds interesting. The gearshift always annoys me on mine. I've not had any problems with it but some days it feels real precise and accurate, then the next day it feels as sloppy as custard!
Lovely upgrades mate. I've got a single pair of the PS3 XL's on the font, and they are great!
Ive decided to keep it Keith and yes a Quaife diff.
Untill next week lol^^^^^^^^^^^^^, only joking.
Regards Russ......

Looks great Keith.
Looking forward to picking my T up next week even more after seeing this.
Stunning i cant wait till i get mine back now it seems to have been away for ages
Looks great, Keith. I think the Welsh weather helps keep contamination at a minimum as the bodywork is constantly being rinsed by rain...
I got a bunch of cleaning products for Christmas to try but haven't had chance yet. This weekend has literally been the first decent weekend for a very long time. Sadly I still don't have the T back so it will be getting some serious TLC once it is home. Seeing yours really makes me miss mine. Sad, I know.
Spot on, mate. Rebuilt, fully forged, ITB'd, cam'd, bored cylinders and a few other bits; all with a hefty dose of BTM loving. The K-Tec DTH ITB's will be going/sold and replaced by a different setup. You're welcome to have a drive should the opportunity ever arise.Haha probably. No not sad, yours will be epic once back with the spec i've read on your project thread. Am I right in saying it'll be forged con rods and pistons, cams and more?

Got a gearbox and diff just waiting on a call from Birchdown to tell me its all fitted and drives great.............
No problem at all mate. As for the revised setup, it will be Jenvey-based. In the meantime I look forward to your ongoing updates and story with #185...Replaced by Jenevy manifol ones or AT power ones? Thank you, will take you up on offer if opportunity arises
Car feels so much better now. The Extra load version of the PS3's have given a lot more feedback to the front end that I had lost with the normal PS3's compared to the Exaltos. Cant recommend fitting these over the normal rated ones enough.
Can't wait mate, I have a sprint at Angelsey march 10 not bothered about my times just want to see how it feels

I'm always saying this! The W rating makes all the difference!
Good update, havent seen your car for years now it seems!
Big Chester meet?
Looks awesome!
With the Tardis, did you just spray on and leave for a few minutes and wipe away? Just got myself some so intrigued as to the best way to get rid of tar!
Love this car Keith, always enjoy reading your updates on it.
Awesome thread mate, great work and sounds like its been the perfect all rounder for you. Makes me more determined to get one only now I have more idea what to look out for.. Feel Like Ive owned it with you. Thanks
Thank you If its got history from traders in here (Birchdown/BTM/519automotive/RS Tuning) that would be perfect. Would say you can buy mine but it's not going anywhere for foreseeable future
Ill keep my eye out.. What would you say are the main things to check after belts, dephaser and sachs?
Hi mate,
Was wondering whether you can remember how you fitted the gearknob? I am looking at gearknobs, but I am clueless as to whether there is a thread on it or not!
Also, how are you finding the stiff shift, worth it?
Thanks!
Cheers mate, got mine now and very happy, if I can get it anywhere near yours ill be very happy.. Gotta get some track days sorted next..Check the Recaros that the til and slide and wear (the do sometimes not slide after tilting forward but is easy fix with cable jumping out of groove. Otherwise can't think of much aside from usual hpi checks and make sure it's a full Trophy and has all the parts. Sorry for late reply on here
