    330 needs a new home

    After 5 years of happy partnership it is time to find 330 a new home. The T has done only 20k with me and 47k in all, much loved and usefully modified to improve power and stopping, and of course the sachs have been refurbished and all belts have been done. The car has been amazing on track -...

    Engine Management Light.. Which OBD reader

    My light is on permanently - until I plug in the reader and turn it off - it has no impact on performance at all. I bought the reader from K-Tech for about £30 as i remember.

    Which Brake Pads? Tyres overheating?

    I have brembo max discs and after a short period with mintex pads (poor cold performance) i have been using carbon lorraine pads for the last 2 years. I also have toyo r888s and have done 6 track days running for at least 30 mins without a break and we ran for 45 mins non stop at snetterton...

    brake pads

    I have had the carbon lorraine pads with brembo max, unbelievable stopping performance, can be noisy, but incredible performance. Now onto my second set. Highly recommended if you want to do trackdays. Also, much better from cold than many others, particularly the Mintex pads I tried before.

    Silverstone Trophy this week

    yes they are 17 inch wheels, the ride is a bit firmer than on the OEs but as much due to the tyres I think, run them at quite low pressures - 23 cold 27 hot. no pictures stationary at the moment. I live in Aylesbury by the way. I can completely recommend the 17 inch option as it reduces...

    Silverstone Trophy this week

    Trophy was mighty at Silverstone - both in the dry and the wet, lost count of the number of times we passed porsches, ferraris, lotus and other slowly driven exotica - the DB9 was a highlight!

    Lightweight Wheels and Tyres.

    I have been running R888s for trackdays and the grip is much better that the OE tyres - mine are 205/40 17- no rubbing and they work in the wet too

    Track wheels afternoon

    the 17s with 888s weigh about 1.6kgs more than the 15s but crucially the 17s have 40 section tyres and consequently a much stiffer sidewall which is essential for track work in a trophy. having tested the accuracy of the speedo with GPS to check the gearing I was surprised to see that at an...

    Track wheels afternoon

    well, if you are prepared to buy new wheels as I did (17 inch turinos) you can fit 205/40 x 17 R888's and they are awesome on track

    Discs & pads front??

    well, I fitted brembo max discs, new fluid and mintex 1177s which was fantsatic on the track - unbelievable stopping power - however when the brakes were cold and under heavy braking you were never sure which way the car was going to go, sometimes a major correction was needed and I felt this...

    Morego 202 conversion

    Interesting question, apparently they developed the cams themselves and in fact there is a bigger increase in torque than there is in power and max torque is still reached at 5250 rpm, also they did not increase the rev limiter suggesting that all this would do is increase engine wear. Idle...

    Morego 202 conversion

    I have the morego conversion. MIltek exhaust is included and sounds great, definite improvement in torque throughout the rev range, bigger push over 5000 revs, it definitely feels quicker - but didn't do before and after rolling road - sorry guys. Combined withe the sticky rubber it was...

    Track wheels....

    If you didn't already have the rubber I could recommend a set of 17" turinis with 205/40 Toyo 888's - the grip is absolutely amazing

    Just got myself Trophy Number 330

    Yes I did buy it privately and yes it was the Trophy with the "off the wall" stickers on it. it has done 29000 but has clearly been well looked after. i still cant get over the way it corners on bumpy roads...
