Hi Craig. Many thanks for the offer of access to the images of my car. I will email you shortly.
Regarding a hard copy i am in the old school camp where I still enjoy thumbing through several car magazines a month so count me in for a couple! Regards Andy.
Dawns very nice car sold at what I consider to be the peak of Trophy values on CC etc even without the stock headlights and airbox. Including fees this car owes the dealer 17k without servicing, warranty etc so at 20k it still a little greedy.
I think Trophy fever maybe over for a while for the...
Made 11k plus fees.
Thinking the lack of evidence for cam belt/Dephaser change may have pegged it back a bit.
Good buy for a long term owner as she looks in great condition.
Such a shame you have hit a wall with this.
Many thanks for all your hard work in trying to resurrect one of the many discontinued parts that make the Trophy so special.
I have to be honest if your stock unit works well and it’s not a daily driver where maximum connectivity is essential I’d leave it alone. The original system is only let down by the speakers which can be easily swapped out for the latest technology.
There are aftermarket Bluetooth adapters that...
Quite a lot as you can see in this photo I robbed from the CS forum.
I have them in my car and they transform the driving position especially if you are over 6 ft.
Thanks Nick. Yes the Museum is fantastic! Hundreds of cracking cars on display.
One hall inside is called the red room and obviously all the cars are red from a TR5 to a Countach. Well worth a visit and has a good restaurant too.
RB had her first visit to k-Tec this week to sort out a couple of minor issues that I ran out of talent trying to sort! Lol
The long running saga of the abs/serv/tc lights not going out and the car feeling lacklustre while cold and also not pulling as hard as she should in the lower rev ranges...
Ive owned 3 182s and the only one that had the parcel shelf rattle was my BG.
Fixed it with a piece of fuel hose carefully slit open with a Stanley Knife and pushed onto the shelf’s leading edge on the hump that goes over the wiper motor cover. Worked a treat!
Likewise I have owned and driven many fast, classic cars etc but the Trophy is the best fun car ive had in years.
Bonkers fun for me was at castle combe in my mates Hayabusa turbo Radical.
I won’t bore you all with the journey of my mini restoration of the RB as its all been logged in the CS forum.
She has had a full brake, suspension and underbody refresh.
Got her back from my detailers last Saturday after a stage 1 mechanical detox and Swissvax onyx canuba wax Polish.
Bloody...
As Paul said the new old stock damper market is a gamble considering there is no guarantee they won’t leak soon after fitment.
IMO if you don’t have a pair on your T they are best bought and kept to add originality for a future sale while running Mark Fish or OEM cup units.
