    trophy to V6 ?

    Hi, I used to own a Trophy and V6 255 at the same time, and I owned another V6 255 before that. My first V6 was used everyday, in some cases doing 1000 miles per week. It was real good fun and no way a chore - even in really bad weather. The biggest headache was parking in multi-storey car...

    Orbisoud where from?

    Hi guys, Back to the fold after a couple of years away! Used to own 002, but have now just secured a later one. Anyway, first thing to do is get one of these Orbisoud 'zorsts on it. Just wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction as Ktec dont seem to do them anymore. Ta, Lee :D

    Might have to sell the Trophy

    Thanks eveyone. I did test a Z06 last week, and I'm going to try a Viper in a couple of weeks, so we'll wait and see :wink: Having said that, I quite fancy a Shelby GT500 Mustang too. 8)

    Might have to sell the Trophy

    Shouldn't do. I've got the V5, it just needs filling out with the new owners details and sending off to DVLA. I've got a purchase receipt to prove that I'm the legal owner too. Obviously, there's no finance on it or any other nasties either. (tupw) Thanks for all the other comments guys, I...

    Might have to sell the Trophy

    As the title says :( - probably the V6 too :cry: As some of you know, I'm traveling between the UK and North America twice a week at the moment - I only come back to the UK to see my wife and kids. Anyway, I'm thinking about moving them over to the states with me full-time for the next 12...

    Who owns this.....

    They are similar but not the same. SCR's doors appear to have a V-shape to them, whereas the ones above are a series of squares. Plus the brick colour is different. We are so sad................... :roll:

    Aston Martin V8 - birthday Gift!

    I was at the factory in about March and they had one which had literally fallen off the back of a lorry :shock: It was a right old mess - should've taken some pics. Would've definitely been a write off as the cost of repair was about £60k+ ................ However, as the car was owned by...

    WANTED 182 in Liquid Yellow

    I'm not sure why he wants yellow, but he's definitely fixed as far as colour is concerned :?

    WANTED 182 in Liquid Yellow

    Thanks guys. I'll send the pistonheads guy an e-mail to see if its still around. I think one with the cup spoilers, cup suspension would be preferable, although I'm sure any car will be considered. If you hear of any Steve, please let me know. Thanks

    WANTED 182 in Liquid Yellow

    For a mate of mine, 182 in Liquid Yellow wanted. Mileage and condition not too important, but needs to be a straight car with good service history and low number of owners. No dodgy HPi write-offs, etc. Cash waiting for the right car, but must, must be Liquid Yellow :)

    Trophy Lowering Springs

    No offence, and I'm not sure if you were taking the p155 or not, but anyone would have to be mental to ditch Eibach springs and slap some Spax one's on :shock: I think as others have said, its probably not really a question of just banging some shorter springs on, you want to make sure the...

    Rear suspension

    Yep, bit of a bargain really. :D

    Sachs on Ebay

    Just a quickie to say that the legs have come off a Trophy that has had a major shunt up the rear! If anyone remembers there was also a pair of Trophy Recaro's on flee-bay a month or so ago, these came from the same car.

    Rear suspension

    Yep, I'm not planning on doing anything to the Trophy, however, I happened to have come across a spare set of Trophy front legs - complete. Therefore, I'm thinking of a transplant to a stripped out 172 Ph1, complete with a smart rear set up too. Just looking at options really :)

    Trophy alloy with or without tyre

    To be fair, they're not too expensive from Renault. About 150 notes I believe.

    tax exempt...

    No, the original idea (and I think it was the tories that initiated it) was for any vehicle over 25 years old to get road tax for free. When it was introduced the 25 year threshold mean't that any car pre-1973 would get tax for free :lol: Unfortunately, Blair realised that Cherie hairdo's...

    Rear suspension

    Right, but 7MAT (I think) has had new lower springs fitted and the geometry on his Trophy set up by Mark Fish. Which apparently is even better than the std Trophy. And there is no reason why you couldn't have the above done to say a normal 172 or 182, use some Trophy front legs (complete)...

    Sachs on Ebay

    Yes mate, they're my babies! I'm not sure exactly what to do with them yet. Over the next 12 months or so, I'm going to be a bit busy with work, so they may well just sit in the garage for a while. I suppose the longterm plan would be to buy a 172 ph1, completely strip it out, put trophy...

    Rear suspension

    Ok, so in theory the thing that gives the Trophy the great handling is the front suspension set up with the remote reservoirs?

    Rear suspension

    Right, I'm about to sound like a right novice, but is the Trophy rear suspension much different to a normal 182 cup?

    Acoustic Valve Mod

    I'm thinking of doing it and I know you block off the small pipe going to the block, but how have people blocked off the pipe? I don't really want to go shoving chewing gum down the pipe :oops: I'm guessing some kind of plug with maybe a jubilee clip to hold it into place?

    Not a bad price - £295 in the end. I'm sure we'll see them again soon :wink:

    Evo......

    Yeah, the V6 is my mates one - Roland. He co-owns the UK Pagani distribution company, Hudsons of London. I think I previously posted a picture of it with my Trophy somewhere on here.

    rear number plate fixings--worth checking

    The dealers don't care if it rusts out, because by then it'll be outside the corrosion warranty. I think a lot of number plates in the future are going to be screwed on in one form or another, mostly due to the recent increase in number plate thefts. :(
