Trophy 201/500 Freshen up :)

[Lancs-Trophy]

Hey new to the site not got the best photo's at the minute due to my main camera not working so excuse the poor quality pics from my iphone.

I recently took ownership of trophy build number 201 , good condition but needed a few new bits and a bit of good old care.

After a day of having her 3 problems i noticed.

1. I have broken the splitter ( Doh )
2. Exhaust is now blowing slightly
3. Dampers seem Harsh.

Was payday this week so ordered a few new bits from K-Tek

New exhaust mounts, Carbon splitter , apax Springs , Power flex bushes - Anti Roll bar front and back , Dog-bone mount lower engine , suspension bushes , wishbone bushes , K+N filter , decat peace for my prospeed exhaust.

Next week the Bushes will be fitted and the dampers sent off for a rebuild.

Then the car will have a detail throughout ...

Next on the list ...

HALF LEATHER REAR SEATS
CAGE (SPRAYED IN TROPHY RED)
OMP WHEEL
OMP HARNESS

Splitter was fitted today will update the pictures soon.

Comments welcome .

What springs are going on?

Good stuff. I love trophys.

Apex once the dampers have been sent away and returned.

That will utterly ruin the car. The only way to lower a Trophy is through someone that knows what they are doing, Mark Fish etc.
Honestly, Apex are horrid on the Clio's.

How much were the uprated bush's for anti-roll bars?

Cant understand that i have a friend of mine who has the same Sach dampers with same set of springs and handles sweet ? :dapprove:

Would these be the Mark fish (Koni) shocks?

I got the whole set for around 100.00 from k-tek thats for everything including all the other uprated bushes.

I think he does 2 options. Custom springs for the standard dampers all round, then the revalved adjustable koni shocks with custom springs on the rear.
Heard nothing but good things about them. I've not heard a good word about Apex, and they were utterly woeful on my 172 (fitted by prev owner).

Looking to uprate the bush's on mine. But only downside with poly ones are harder and make the car shake!

Yeah but 172's dampers are altogether different from the T , my mates 182 with the sach dampers is fine , see how i get along if i hate them i will take them off but from how my friends car drove i will be more than happy,

Oh right. cheers Warren.

I love them and i have had alot better cars ..Trophy makes me smile every time , love it.

 

[ForceIndia]

Fair enough fella, look forward to hearing your opinion. In fairness I've not heard of them being used on a Trophy.

 

[Lancs-Trophy]

Yeah well should be fine they are on my mates , I am having the dampers rebuilt anyway so be a nice ride .

Cant wait to get started with getting it all ready and sorted for 2010 :approve:

Always been a Vw and Vauxhall Man myself.
