I know every track setup is different, but I thought it would be interesting to hear what readings people have got from noise tests at the track. My silenced Orbisoud with it's sports cat was 92db @ Bedford with 4/4.5k revs I think.
Saw you today (Sunday afternoon) but I was in a fiesta. My other half reckons I should get an exhaust like yours as we both get annoyed by my Orbisoud on long journeys. Yours didn't sound too loud and I've just started doing 70 miles a day commuting so I would be interested to hear what you...
I'm after anyone's experiences with fitting brake ducts in the Clio fog light holes. Does it make a worthwhile difference to brake cooling? Did you fit a collar on the front facing straight ahead to help catch the air or just ducting back from the holes? I imagine that fitting the ducts from a...
Has anyone had to replace their alternator yet. The bearing has gone in mine and I've tried getting a replacement from a motor factors and from Renault. Despite giving them the serial number both have been different to the original 182. The electrical connections are further forward and won't...
Has anyone got any idea of the cost implications on my insurance if I have the Mark Fish suspension setup? So far Greenlight haven't added anything for brakes, ARB etc. Just wondered if anyone has done this already.
Thanks :D
I've been to the Nurburgring before with my standard tyres, but was wondering what people think is the best tyre for the job. I'm toying with the idea of a second set of wheels anyway with r888's or khumo's, but I don't know how well they would heat up at the ring. Would anyone bother...
I followed you this morning. Have you fitted an anti-roll bar on the rear suspension? How much difference does it make? It looks quite low to the ground!

Saw this last night at the Gym. Orbisoud exaust the same as miine. I'd be interested to hear it if it's the loud version. Mine's the soft version, and It's loud enough I think. :D

Just wondered if anyone has experienced a Performance box or Driftbox (from VBOX).
They are a GPS device which tells you current speed, acceleration/braking times, laptimes etc. I fancy buying one but it's a bit pricey really. I imagine they would be good for measuring performance...
Read this Manufacturer's description for the pilot exalto PE2 on a tyre website (not sure which) yesterday. Thought it was of interest......
Manufacturer's Description:
The Pilot Exalto PE2 is Michelin's entry level Ultra High Performance Summer tyre designed to raise both the status and...
Does anyone know of a problem where the car seems to lack power. My car seems to lack power intermittently. At its worst it drives as if it has around 80 / 90 hp. It has no low down torque meaning it's most noticeable when pulling away or trying to overtake other traffic. It also runs a bit...
First time I've seen another trophy on the road. I passed you on my motorbike and put my thumb up. I was happy I managed to slow down for the police car :wink: Also glad to be on the bike with so much traffic. I filtered through traffic most of the way around the M25 and M3 :D
Hi.
I put a note on your car as I don't know who owns it?
How do you come to have a French registered Trophy? I assume you imported one of the Swiss ones?
Did you work on the Trophy?
I am working in the prospective studio as an alias modeller at the moment. I have the...
Hi Everyone,
I'm always nosing around on here and love the site, but I don't post very often. :oops: Hopefully this question is relevant to most standard trophy owners and I'm not the only one!
I know that the brakes are the weakest link for the trophy, but I'm...
Just seen a picture of the seats in the Swiss Trophies. It seems they got matching seats front and rear. Unfortunately it was dodgy cloth all round! :?
I think I prefer our version. :)
