    Do trophys need strut braces??

    The braces are usually fitted to the top and insides of the towers hence strengthening the front end between the turrets. Thing is with this kind of thing, the forces always go to the next weakest point. This is very noticable on mk1s with sunroofs. Stiffen the susp up and the roof starts...

    Front Brake Pads (Again)

    As above really. Iv had ds2500s fitted to most of my williamses, I find the cold performance is as good as or if not better, but when a bit of heat is in them they are superb. Countless trackdays at Donny, oulton, spa, never had a bit of fade. The t will be getting them also soon, the current...

    195 vs 205 Tyres

    I run 195s but in 15 inch fitment. Pretty much transformed the car from a crashy uninspiring drive to a well rounded, confidence inspiring drive. But then I went from no namers on the 16s to pe2s on the 15s

    Badge number font??

    Hi Jim welcome to the site. Mine has a sticker on the boot already, not sure where from as it was already fitted when I bought it. I think it's been bought through the site?? I'm not far from Hx myself but the other way towards Burnley

    MOT time

    Well last week was the dreaded mot date. I refitted the cat and new lambda sensor ready for the emissions test, and threw the good o/s/f damper in the boot so my mate could fit it before the mot. The damper that was on was soft and made a horrible knocking nois over any bumps it was ridden...

    Trophy #381 - 47k miles - £4200

    Can't the cat d label be removed by a trip to an sva test station? This proves the repair work is up to standard of original quality. May be a route to go down.

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    Just out of interest. I noticed the adjusters have a grub screw in them. Is this the only thing pinning them?

    2118s

    Well this is it exactly. Would be great to compare all the diff size variations etc. But unless you get them all on the same car back to back it'd be a bit of a pointless excercise really. As above we all have diff views on how we like the car to handle, so even direct comparison can be...

    2118s

    Well, after a couple of weeks and a few hundred miles, what can I say? The ride is so much better on the 15s and decent rubber. My confidence in the car has grown immensely. It's not as trashy over the rougher roads,turns in sharper, grips better, has a nice amount of body roll, not too much...
