    Frayz’s Inferno orange 182 - Back in the old flame

    Looks ace. I knew I recognised your car, I follow you on Instagram and messaged you a while ago about the sound deadening project. I've now bought the stuff to do similar to my Trophy, as although my Prospeed exhaust looks great, it's a little too loud and has a really horrible resonating noise...

    Trophy Price

    I'd be interested to see if I've lost out on mine much. Mine was the first one on collecting cars, I think I paid £7k + premium (might have been £7.5k+ I really can't remember as it was a year ago now) and in that time I've already spent a fair bit on it. It's high mileage at 122k, but it's had...

    #262 for sale on Collecting Cars

    Auction ended last night, £11,350 hammer price. Including the 6% commission, that's over £12k for the car. I wonder if the fairly strong money I paid for mine (the first one on collecting cars, £7k) had an effect on the price paid for this one. As an outsider, I always knew what a trophy was...

    Insurance for young'un

    Absolutely not! My Trophy is faster than my current Vantage, honestly :)

    Insurance for young'un

    When I was a bit younger Admiral were always the ones for me. No one else would come close and £540 doesn't seem too bad to me? Just be warned that they're not great to deal with, make sure you declare any mods and do the quote 'properly' as they'll use any excuse if the worst were to happen. On...

    Boot Struts

    perhaps a stupid question, but what height is the boot lid supposed to be at when fully open? I believe mine has SGS dampers, but it opens so it's only just above horizontal and won't go any further. It's about my eye height so I'm going to really hurt myself on it sooner or later!

    Trophy up on collecting cars

    I've got the car home, and all I can say is wow! I absolutely adore the little thing. I'm aware it was expensive for a high mileage example but if you read the collectingcars ad and see the mods it has, you'll understand why I wanted it. I wasn't after a low mileage/pristine example, this will...

    Trophy up on collecting cars

    They just take their cut and then send you an email with the seller's details and leave it up to you to complete the purchase with them. You have to register a credit card to be able to bid and the instant the auction ended I had the email to say I'd been debited £600. You're right about them...

    Trophy up on collecting cars

    Thanks for the advice - the seller did say on the phone that the coolant was looking a little low so he'd top it up. The car has been stood for a while so if the hoses are crap that could explain the low level. The cambelt was last done in 2017 when the engine had some head work done, however...

    Trophy up on collecting cars

    Evening chaps...I'm now (sort of) the proud new owner of #358 - although yet to collect it. My background is more sports/supercars (same username on PH) however I've been after a clio for some time. I'd been keeping an eye on tracktime classifieds on fb for a more track focused car, although...
