PM_Air - Trophy #383

[Guest]

Hi all,

After picking up the Trophy about 2 weeks ago now, I've finally had time to start a Trophy #383 thread after driving with a :mrgreen: everywhere

So here are some pics that I took when I first got the car home:



then I gave the car a good wash/wax after coming back from Sherbourne, the car was very muddy and had tar spots all over it... :?





K-Tec Racing CF front splitter







Comfy Recaros!



The current line up of my cars (DC2 getting replaced by the Trophy v.soon)




And thats it for the time being....

Future plans are:

-Putting my own private reg onto the Trophy
-K-Tec racing Panel Filter
-Prospeed 2.5" exhaust system with CAT mod (standard renault is rotting and rusting up...)
-K-Tec Racing Group N Engine Mounts (finding too much engine movements)
-Poly bushes for the dogbone mount (finding too much gearstick/gear box movement)
-JMS remap with AV removed
-Matched Inlets?

thanks for reading, I'll update the thread as things get done! :mrgreen:

thanks nby, yeah its a 98 Spec JDM DC2. With the HID's, better manifold etc. Also did a few upgrades to it -Mugen Intake/Exhaust/suspension. Really made the car better with those mods. Excellent car for the weekend, but showing its age now and can be tiring to drive the thing, hence the change.

I think most of my plans are just replacing the old and tired OEM renault items for upgraded ones really. I dont see a point of just getting a standard part that doesnt seem to last very long... and I also like to tweak/improve my cars

Looking good - continue my battle against tar!

Tell me about it Johnny, I dont remember seeing so many tar spots when I brought the car off you... :lol: but during the wash/wax, I must of spent 30 mins clearing all the little tar spots off the car with my Meguiars Stage 1 Paint Cleaner! I hope there isnt so much next time...

I used to use Autoglym tar remover on the effing boot lid under the window every time, also around the wheelarches was bad for it. I hope for your sake it's something to do with where I live.

Actually, when I took the RS to Paintshield a couple of weeks back they were moaning about how much tar I'd got on it in 400 miles!!!!

I think you maybe right Johnny... Because I spent alot of time getting the tar spots off just under the boot lid as you mentioned... and also just behind the front arches ( near 2.0 16v badge) so you maybe correct!

Also your RS getting tar spots from 400 miles... it must be your area! or someone having a laugh at your expense :lol:

I will check over the car again this weekend and hopefully no tar spots [-o<

I think you boys need to stop cleaning, and get driving

 

[Guest]

Its alright Tom, I no longer have tar spot issues :lol:

Also will be visiting you soon for a induction setup (road package) once I gather all my bits and bobs that need fitting!
