Bought this brilliant car earlier in the year with the intention of doing a few hill climbs sprints (see my posts on here in spring about damper rates etc) - but apart from a couple of outings it hasn't been used much so unfortunately it must go. Getting valet done at the weekend so will have...
I'm doing the sprint at Crystal Palace next weekend (my first in the Trophy) and just wondered about a couple of things.
Was going to attach timing strut to towing eye, but if scrutineer gets funny about this does anyone have any other suggestions? Also any suggestions about best revs to lauch...
I'm not a great one for cleaning cars - bit like haircuts! One in Spring, one at the start of winter! Some chap on the Ferndown industrial estate spent 4 hours getting it to look like that for £70 - seemed like money well spent to me!
Probably me - if it was a quite shiny one in outside lane?
Live in Milford - bought it for a bit of fun - have booked a few hill climbs and sprints - also done test day at Goodwood to set it up.
Cheers
Went to Goodwood yesterday a.m. just me, two radicals and a thing called a Tornado. It was damp and one of the radicals lost it within 5 mins and went into wall and his day was over. Played around with all sorts of settings and as advised what worked best for me was 38 clicks at the front, a...
I've got a longish haul in it tomorrow so i'll try the fully backed off rears as it were, then.
Also will def get to Pau sometime this year!
Am sufferring from trophy-itis at the mo...driving like a complete loon everywhere!
Hope it wears off as i'm on 9 points already...don't think I've ever...
Thanks for that - I'll try tomorrow!
But today i went 30 front 28 rear on the tyre pressures, 28 clicks on the front and 1 and 1/4 from soft on the konis.
Car more comfortable but didn't have much chance to "test" it otherwise.
Anyway Goodwood's Monday week so I'll know more after that!
Don't...
Just got myself a Trophy which has the Mark fish springs and koni rear shocks. Have played around with the settings on the shocks and as recommended elsewhere on here have set the rears at 1 and a quarter off full soft and the fronts at 22 clicks. I do a lot of road miles and am finding the...
South Coast - between Lymington and Christchurch in a sleepy place called Milford on Sea! Handy(ish) for Goodwood and Castle Combe. Am wondering about buying previous owners decat pipe - unsure if it's worth the aggro of changing it back and forth for marginal gains - money might be better spent...
Am soon to be the owner of number 25 - next week! It'll be used as a daily driver and I'm looking forward to doing a few sprints and hillclimbs with it as well. Nothing too serious, it's just nice to give it some proper exercise occaisonally. Previous owner has done a great job in doing (as far...
