No! Much less than that... It wasn't worth £6350

Thanks for the replies and condolences! Have nothing but love and respect for the Trophy, was a brilliant car, the trips to the Nurburgring and driving down to the south of France are memories that will stay with me forever. It's just lame that our relationship ended in this way! As for a...

Agreed, when it was loaded onto the flatbed I was thinking I should be getting it back... but at the same time I also cleared out all my personal stuff, so I kind of knew there was a chance I wouldn't see it again. The repair cost was calculated at a Renault dealership so the part costs would...

Sad news indeed, really missing the T! If anyone fancies a project - http://www.copart.co.uk/c2/homeSearch.html?_eventId=getLot&execution=e1s1&lotId=13118423&returnPage=SEARCH_RESULTS

Aye, happened in the snow, just trying too hard to get too close to home. Was only a mile away as well... should have just parked up. Lesson learned though, don't tackle snowy hills with very worn summer tyres! Hope you and your T (and the 5) are all doing well! For anyone interested in parts...

Absolutely gutted! After 7.5 years and 80k miles, I've had a coming together with a very solid old stone wall, and come off second best. Stuffed the NSF into the wall, no metal panel damage, airbags didn't go off, but the assessor stopped counting the damage at £3.5k without getting stuck into...

I am not longer looking to sell my exhaust. I have too many concerns about the replacement exhaust I was looking at, and I've also had a chat with BTB who are going to insert an extra silencer into the centre section to reduce the sound levels. Apologies for wasting anyones time. Cheers Oli

Thanks for your interest fellas, just to make you aware I'm currently waiting to hear about my replacement exhaust and I won't be able to sell the BTB on until I've got that sorted. Just in case anyone was keen to move on this quickly, I may not be able to sort things out in a super short...

Not at the moment. I'll try and take some over the weekend. The exhuast is exactly as described in the link in my first post, but appreciate you'd want to see what condition mine is in...

Looking to sell my BTB cat back exhaust (with modified Renault cat). The exhaust is a lovely piece of kit, but just too loud for me. It's been on my Trophy since May last year, I've done about 8k miles with it fitted and it is in excellent condition. I will take some photos of the actual exhaust...

Another one owner Trophy here. Daily driver having now covered 65k and no intentions of selling yet, just waiting for a 1M to become more affordable can't see me getting out of my Trophy for anything else...

I've had a bit of a mare with this recently. The heatshield first came loose about 2 years ago, so I just undid the nut and used a larger outer diameter M6 (the stud is an M6) washer, and then a few months ago it had come loose again, but due to the corrosion on the nut it had become one with...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder no? I'm sure FM and all the other prospeed owners love their exhausts just like I love mine... it isn't a competition! :lol: The BTB does look and sound gorgeous though, I'm so made up with my purchase, every drive is even more of an event now, I'd even say...

Thanks for comments FM and Pagani, but in the end I decided to go down the BTB route. Had it fitted yesterday, already covered just under 200 miles since and I am a very happy lad indeed! Had the cat modified too, so now 2.5 dia from the end of the manifold to the split for the backboxes...

Thanks for the heads up Dave, and yes Chertsey would be much better for me than missioning up to Daventry, but one of the guys I currently work with used to work for Jo at BTB (when Jo was running a BTCC team) and he's kind of arranged for the two of us to go up and see Jo to get my exhaust...

I wasn't considering the Scopion because of a couple of threads on this forum, one details a defect, another had a 6 week delivery wait. Along with the not so positive posts in this thread, it makes it too much of a risk for me. Another thing I'm looking for is for a single garage to take...

Thanks for replies Sir_Dave, spank-it, blueseidboy and Kelvo, you've helped me make up my mind, BTB it is. I don't do many motorway miles so hopefully the motorway drone won't bother me that much and your comments about the quality of the system (and the poor quality of the KTR system) sealed...

IIRC it's an extra £50 if you have it done whilst they are fitting your exhaust... I'll be calling them at the end of the month when my next pay packet hits my account so I'll get a definitive figure for you then. How you getting on with your BTB? Whats the sound like because I'm after...

My Trophy's exhaust back boxes are finally on their last legs and so the selection of an aftermarket cat back system begins... So the initial search led me to the KTR Ultra performance system, which has a 2.5 inch bore from cat back. A bit more research led me to the understanding that the...

On the right roads the Trophy has proved that it can live with much more expensive and better equipped machiney. They ran an article a while back where they pitted the Trophy against the BMW M6 in France and commented that although the M6 was far quicker on the straights, come braking and...

Cool let me know when works with you. What model Skyline? Shamefully I can't remember seeing one recently...

Yup kept the grim reaper at bay so far! :shock: I don't really post anymore as I'm not really doing much with the Trophy these days, just the regular B road blast to break up the day to day grind which it copes very well with. Over 5 years and 50k miles I'm still more than happy with it, not...

It sure is but since reading that I feel extra pride for my Trophy so I've just done an oil change to show it how much I care! :wink: 6 - Caterham R500 Evo 5 - Subaru Impreza P1 4 - Brabus EV12 3 - Ultima GTR640 2 - Nissan GT-R 1 - The legend that is the Trophy

Ok so there is only a paragraph on the Trophy in the new Evo magazine so probably not worth buying if you're not a regular reader, but they list 6 giant killing road cars which the Trophy tops with a closing comment of "It's our ultimate giant-killer" It's a good day to be a Trophy owner!

Hello gents! Sorry Eddy didn't see you waving, was caught between trying to show I had seen you and negotiating the roundabout safely! Yup I do work there and for the person you suggest... Hope to see you two out and about in the future, will stop for a chat if it works out.

No not in LA but the tough streets of Surrey... First Trophy spot I've had for a long, long time now, seem to see less of them on the roads these days. You were approaching the roundabout at the end of the B3000 from Compton as I was crossing the roundabout from Godalming. Would have flashed my...

Bit of confusion here! Looking through Harry M's post a loss of gas results in the gap narrowing and I imagine a loss of oil will normally show itself as a build up of oil where there shouldn't be (bottom of damper/garage floor)...

Over four years of ownership and I've finally been spotted! 8) Were you in your T? Sorry I didn't spot you if you were...but at the progess I was making concentrating on the road was my main prority!

I ran the M1144 compound and I really didn't rate them. They were fine for fast road use, although the performance was only marginally better than the OE pads and they were very noisey, but on track they would start to lose performance very quickly and in the end they started 'grumbling' and you...

Personally I don't think there is a need to get the cambelt changed before 72k/5 years, I've never heard of a 182 cambelt failing on it's own, only when the aux belt has failed and got intimate with the cambelt. The big decision is for those who cover less than average miles and concerns the...
