    air filter

    hmmmmmm alwas wondered about filters, as the car has an air mass meter which proportions the incoming air to the required volume. how can an air filter improve performance, assuming a paper filter dosent restrict airflow to an extent that the engine needs more than can be supplied. As Mary...

    Sports catalyst

    Best Wash & Wax For Trophy

    I have just received my order of harleys no1 yellow carnauba wax. I used it this weekend and its without a doubt the most fantastic product i've ever used. It looks like its wet! it brings a really deep shine. Any purist will tell you that carnauba is the worlds best. Some makes like zymol...

    Exhaust haze

    how many miles? mine did this early on but fine now. If low miles then suggest its a bit of oil as the rings wont be properly sealed yet. but as said, wait until good and warm before thrashing it.

    Paintshield

    its guaranteed not to fade, chip or scuff. Its hardly visible and in years to come it can be removed easily, just warm with a hairdrier and peel off. you get a warranty with it too. honestly its the best thing ive bought for a car for years. Get it done before the winter perils ruin your car...

    Going for test drive, what price to aim for?

    trophy - loads more fun! You dont say which tt, 180, 225 3.2v6....... performance is well on a par with the 225, maybe a tad quicker. Handling is far far superior in the trophy. on the downside, you will miss the refinement, solidity and comfort of the tt. The trophy is fidgety and not...

    will the trophy hold its value?

    I think initial depreciation will be the worst as it always is, however i beleive with the amount of raving reviews and the fact that its as rare as a positive post from stromba, then it will hold on well and always be in good demand. The fact that renault sold em cheap dosent matter IMO because...

    Paintshield

    I paid a discounted price of 300 as i already bought some film and attempted to fit it myself and messed up. I think the club discount price will be about the same. If you compare that price to the cost of a repaint then its money well spent IMO
