Of course it was intentional, my unsubtle irony is lost on you barbarians. I've never unintentionally misspelled brakes in my life. I didn't say the braided hoses were any worse but I can't vouch for them having any more feel because that could be down to the fluid change, new discs and pads...

That's my idea too, I might end up going for the Milltek but I want to do it my own way, that way you appreciate the modifications each for their own merit. No, the letstorquebhp site is just a bit of fun, it takes average Cd's and tyre grip etc. It uses formulae from a database of existing...

As above, I'm just about to order one and I remembered a post on here (that I now can't find) about a discount. Does anyone know how I can get one for a discount? Thought I'd check first. Edit - AArrGGGHHh!!! WTF happened to that discount code post? Why has it been deleted? Can no-one...

People are very snobby about any Lotus Seven type cars that aren't Caterhams it seems, Donkey had a lot of snobbery thrown his way when building his race car and not much help from the Caterham lot, it took him lapping the R500's around Cadwell Park for them to take him seriously. When I...

Torsion beam? As in rear suspension component that transfers load from one side of the car to the other.

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Breaking up! Breaks - for kit-kats and tea. Brakes - for vehicle retardation. The first reason I had to stop visiting ClioSport was the frequency of posts with 'Wot breaks shall I get for my Valver?" Steve - get HC discs...

I'm with you here Cue but manufacturers don't help themselves - BMW don't even want you opening the bonnet between services. It won't be long before a car will carry all the screen wash it will ever need out of the factory, my Mum's Mondeo has a 10 litre tank! Most people don't know squat...

I love the E60! It's about the only big car I'd happily own. Do a search and find my Guy Ritchie M5 video, if you didn't love them before you will now! The kit car thing is no fantasy, I've already got 'permission' from the girlfriend! If I was talking fantasy I would want; An E92 M3 4.0...

That's so cool!

Just put the stats in to letstorquebhp calculator - not bad at all! (This is with a kerb weight of 1060kg, which is correct if you remove the rear seats, like I have!) Drag strip quarter mile of 14 seconds! Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 202 Weight without Driver (KG) : 1060 Power to Weight...

I got a letter from Renault yesterday saying they have had the bonnets tested and there is not a design fault, they also included an agendum for the service manual to include maintenance of the bonnet catch! So, not so much a design fault but a service guidance fault then. I'm with Cue on...

That's possible but how did he get his three stars in the first place if he didn't register 211?

Not sure if he'll still have it 375 days later Cue!

Yep, I'm seriously tempted by the Milltek now, they seem to be of high quality, does anyone know anything about the shed motorsport BTB exhaust? They're supposed to be very high quality, the guy's always on ClioSport. It would be a huge pain in the arse to fit a sports cat (that isn't cheap)...

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ ... lgrp=MS005 Are you a Trophy owner nuttah69?

Have you got 17's on the Trophy Xuthos? Runs and hides...

I'm confused, how come you have Trophy Owner status? Can you post a 211 thread in the Owner's Register jimpey? A back-dated one is better than none.

Yeh, Gazza is right, I'm not sure how much use a motorbike 'chassis' would be for a car! I've been looking into kit-cars recently because I've pretty much decided that I'm going to keep the Trophy and build a kit-car next year, I'm actually looking for a house now that has a garage or...

You're the first Trophy I know of that's had the Morego 202 conversion, please give more details! Do you have the 202 stickers next to the Trophy ones? That would be cool.

That's done Luke, I also stickied it for you (everyone). You're doing a great job, I know how much of a pain it was sorting the keyrings out so I can imagine the trouble you've gone to. Thanks!

Sorry, should have said a few days ago, the guy said Monday was prob. when they'll get shipped.

A Japanese devil dog? I was walking my Greyhound in the fields the other day and he went running after what I could only describe as a Wolf. I spoke to the owner and he said it was a *Forgotten name* but it was an established breed that is bred from Wolves. I thought he was taking the piss...

This is all part of the start-up mode, the fuelling and valve overlap is all different for the first 75 seconds to allow for the Cat to warm up so the car could pass emissions, a cold cat doesn't do anything. This is why performance is also severely limited, it shouldn't be an issue because if...

I don't care what anyone tells me about these anymore, it is undoubtedly a grey area. The most important thing in my opinion is phone up the insurance company and see what they say, if they insure it, it's road legal and OK, if they won't then that's answered your question. Really not worth...

If I ran an insurance company and a teenager tried to get insured on a mid-engined sports car that does 0-60 in 4.7 secs, I'd make him pay more than £7K for the privilege. It's asking for trouble!

My money's on the lack of oxygen sensor.

They made 65, and they weighed 930kg, cost £30K and weren't very good, apparently. Looks like the re-map sacrificed low-end torque for that headline power figure. http://www.channel4.com/4car/di/road+te ... sion/1135/

I think they only made 50. Insurance Group 20, 220bhp in a 850kg car, not going to be cheap.

Sorry but I just couldn't own a red car.

So the answer to "Where can you go after a Trophy?" is; from three wheels to two! This is what i meant about the Europa, I know acceleration isn't everything but it's fatted itself out of the game really, the whole point of a Lotus is low weight. VXR would be nice, but i don't like red cars.
