Cheers Tommo, more choice lol... Looks a good one but what will rear shocks cost? I need a mechanically sound one as Im clueless.. Don't mind if its rough around the edges as Id like to track it..

 

[Tommo.]

Not sure on the rear shock, can't imagine it would be that expensive though.

To give you an idea on price - a lot of Trophy owners swap the rear Sachs for Koni dampers, which can be bought new for under £250.

​Lol you've got a clio already... Give someone else a chance

Seems like you got off, i think any trophy going for around that price is going to have issues unfortunately

It was the optimistic in me thinking I might get a bargain..

 

[Chi]

I'm thinking even if I end up buying a dog, so long as its a cheap dog surely the money saved will make it right for my track endeavours?
Am I right thinking a new engine is around £3-500, surely thats the worst that can happen? Am I being naive...

 

[BigDaveRotary]

Why risk it for the sake of £1k? If it is a real dog with no service history etc.

Unless you are Sir_Dave with enough spares to build a Trophy and doesn't care that much!

 

[Tim.]

Buy a fair one for £4.5k, track it, have fun in it, then sell for a fair amount.

Buy a dog, have to spend loads of money on things that keep going wrong, then have difficulty selling it on. No thanks.

That was round the corner from me!
