Not wanting to be facetious, but could it have anything to do with the number 14 not coming with a service booklet and it being 'lost'. "Oh yea mate, had all the regular services alright. Yea, 'course you can trust me. You're paying in cash you said. Lovely." I expect a quick connection to a...

Sad to hear this JARB. My view would be to take the settlement; presuming it's not a joke and the 'fair' trade value for a T. Although sadly fair and trade never go together it seems. Then buy the chassis back and break it. There is no way the insurance firm should want much for it. To you the...

Can't beat the ester based PAO top synthetics IMO. Particulary Silkolene Pro S (now Fuchs Titan I think). A very well known Herefordshire potato farmer used to have huge issues having to rebuild the naturally aspirated Opel DTM or ice racing engine used in his rally car after every event; when...

£9484. Holy moley. Very low mileage though.

Done. Cash is yours.

Davo172, you have a PM.

Silkolene is superb stuff if you ask me. There are other oils that have a slighly higher flash point, but I don't think Silkolene can be beaten by other oils on other fronts.

Yea, by the infamous Kam2Turbo from Birmingham. Got into a big slanging match on here a while ago if I remember correctly. He was proud of his street racing heritage which he promoted and claimed to be a car dealer. Had a Trophy, abused it, sold it on, came back to ownership, then apologied to...

Davo, I sent you a PM ages ago. You responded and then deleted it out of my inbox before I could open it. Do you still have one left?If so I'll take it. Cheers Gordon.

Love it. Peddling a hot hatch over any terrain that isn't 200yrd straights is always going to get my vote. Jeff, if you haven't seen it. This could be your ultimate combination...it's 13mins long bit worth it. Rallye. http://www.evo.co.uk/videos/planetevovi ... t3_rs.html And some proper...

Qwality. Having got half way throught it I thought the bitterness was really coming on nicely. Having read it I almost thought the seller was perhaps a bitter student who'd been skinned by the locals, and said student was acting on a revenge mission...you'll never sell this shed when I'm alive...

Awww wright lick. Dunna haf sound funny the ways youse tell it up Leominster way Rich. Apologies to everyone for the South Shropshire/Herefordshire patois. It's pretty likely only Rich and me will understand. The ad sounds funny. Pity it was removed. Would have liked to have read it.

I have both an indoor and outdoor one from these guys. Seem okay so far. http://www.classicadditions.com/

Sorry to be negative, but gastly in my opinion. Soon you'll be 'de locking' the passenger side :wink: for that proper aftermarket Halfords look. Although why Renault only bothered putting a lock on the passenger door is beyond me. None at all from original would have been best, but I guess...

Renault sticker price was nearly £15k, some left the forecourts for as low as £11,500. I still have original invoice and I'm second owner, why wouldn't you keep it? With cars like these and enthusiast owners people have a tendency to keep everything. Old tax discs, MOT's, recall letters, tool...

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1532881.htm What about this one? Not exactly cut price. 14k miles and has been slightly molested with a non standard exaust pipe and air box. He sold it for nearly £9k! I'd say that was a pretty strong residual value.

It is Stormduck. TU2 J2/Z. It was specifically created for the S1 Rallye alone in the early 90's. It has 100 PS (99 hp/74 kW) with the old twin Webbers used on the 205 Rallye being replaced by a Magneti Marelli fuel injection system; a catalytic converter was added too. Although if you have a...

Sound like sensible modifications. I also have the OEM front fogs inserted in the blanks, with the original fog switch in the console. The blanks were sometimes used in tarmac rallying to channel cool air via ducts to the discs. I actually removed, what sounds like, the very same steering wheel...

So would you say that if I went to purchase some OEM dampers from Peugeot, to keep my MK1 106 Rallye in total original condition, that the dampers would now be out by a factor of 10% ish from those fitted prior to Peugeot's drive toward outsourcing? Logically, I presume they would have to be...

Good write up on the 200. Sounds like a great car. Looks good from all angles bar the front IMO. It's such a dog from the front that I've been put off. Renault should have built the 200 as they have (new seating and steering wheel angle sound great), but kept the nose from the 197 Cup. Does the...

Funny. Although he doesn't look much older than 17. He's perhaps the Brazillian sugar cane heir version of a kid in a Saxo. Agree with you about Porsche's being a handful to drive quickly. It looks like he nicely feathered the throttle (or kept his foot in) and corrected it. Electronic driver...

Thankfully the kid had half a percent of talent to catch it. Otherwise it's clear he has zero brain or much other talent. The bikes left him for dust. You are a brainless *wat to do that on a public road; it's clear I'm getting old :roll:

Nice job. Real pain for 'normal' use though. Super use of the existing fixing points for the iso-bar at the rear. I always did wonder what the 'spare' d-rings under the front seats were for. Now we know!

Stupid question, but why not keep them and just buy the back dampers and springs for 'a full Trophy kit' for your car. I'm a bit confused. Or are you talking about buying a Clio Trophy Cup dampers package i.e. for/from a Clio Cup race car? Good luck on the price. Bonne annee.

Looks like a carbon fiber or 'effect' carbon fiber splitter fitted too. Not standard. The throttle bodies will make it very unique. I'd phone them before the 200 mile trip to see if it still has the throttle bodies fitted or not. If they say no, and the slam panel is still missing, to have...

You might find these illuminating. If you are worried about being able to see just be done with it... http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ ... =HEL800031 Personally I have always just removed the standard light bulb from the lamp housing and stuck 2x 100w in. Combined with the fog lights...

Green sticker inside the filler cap says 98 RON Unleaded (could say 97, can't remember without looking). This will be a guideline from Renault I expect. Therefore it's possible to assume they mapped it to 98 or a higher octane. 95 RON won't harm it though.

Do it. Especially as winter is on the way. I'd always suggest you should have the most tread on the driven wheels in poor weather/surface conditions, especially on a front driver. Naturally less tread on the front (closer to slicks) could give better performance on dry roads in summer. You can...

Careful with wire (copper) brushes on suede or alcantara. The makers of fine suede shoes I know advise a stiff nylon brush these days. The one they supply also has an odd looking rubber piece on the reverse which is used for raising the nap. Combines rigidity with flexibility. Old school...

Some great shots here. All very 'EVO'. You'll be giving Kenny P and Gus Gregory a run for their money. If I was to be critical I'd say the Heritage museum ones should hit the cutting room floor. Too much sky, too little Trophy in the frame.
