they look OK, but the OEM colour looks better (to me)

I bet a nice set of steelies would work well on the T?

100% agree. The long list of NLA parts is making me think twice about keeping my T. It shouldn't be like this.

Hi James - how are the new tyres?

After my recent post, I decided to have a look through some of my old magazines and found a copy of 'Performance Car' dated September 2009. This issue, number 19, has a brilliant article by Dan Posser who takes HT05 BZX to explore The Lakes, Dales and Moors. It reminded me of your recent trips...

Thanks Ed. I don't have the patience to sell them individually so will probably keep to collect more dust.

I have around 300-400 CAR and EVO magazines, most in mint condition. I very rarely re-read so now might be the time to move them on. Are they worth anything... perhaps a question for Ed? CAR issues 2011-2022 and EVO from around issue 064. One of the EVO magazines is signed by a number of EVO...

Look forward to hearing more!

I think the highest pressures I've ever used is 28psi when I had the PE2s. 32/30 seems excessive even for comfort spec PS5s :ROFLMAO:

What tyre pressures do you run front/back? I have AD08s and tend to run quite low pressures, around 25psi front and 23/24psi rear. Any higher and the ride for me is too firm.

Bath from Laufen?

So it's definitely a he?

I was hoping this would go for over £20k

Thanks James. According to Camskill's website they are £115 each, so £460 for 4 plus £23 for P&P = £483. Do you have a good tyre fitter?

underlay?

Hi James - where did you get them from? are you ok to share the price? cheers

Coming soon.... https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2005-renaultsport-clio-182-trophy-46

Hi All Now that Spring is finally here I decided to tax the T yesterday. It was lovely to drive on some fairly quiet Cambridgeshire backroads, trying to avoid the endless potholes. For a 20 year old car it still gets noticed by those in the know. Did anyone else do the same yesterday?

The PBS ProRace sound similar to Ferrodo DS2500 in that they also need some heat to perform (in my experience).

Have you tried Brembo pads?

I thought 265 was in Italy? https://cliotrophy.co.uk/threads/265.41048/page-5

A permanet solution could be to retrim in black leather/cloth which has the markings for the heater already stiched on? I bet there are automotive re-trimmers who could do this? Or have I gone mad?

Just a thought - so the Trophy was SORN'd for 14 years (2008 - 2022) and yet the heater control is peeling badly. I would have thought the lack of use would mean it would be in perfect condition. So perhaps the temperature/moisture levels are greater factors? Edited: photo 82...

Hi Nick - thanks for the update. They do seem to keep their value but maybe that was too much £ for a 6 yr old car. I spotted some questions around a buckled wheel. The seller's response didn't seem too helpful. Folk still bid, as they always seem on CC. I personally would never buy a car...

Not sure why, but I messaged CC a few days ago to ask why the seller isn't responding to questions. They came back to me today to say they would look into it. This may have prompted the above response?

I wasn't aware PS5s were available. The spec look the same, but being newer I would imagine (guessing) the PS5 is better? https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/product-group-tests/91856/tyre-reviews-best-car-tyres-buy-now/tyre-test-results-category

Looks nice. I've never driven a Z4, closest was a passenger ride in EVO's long termer with Ian E driving... I was impressed with the engine and how it went 'round Bedford. https://www.evo.co.uk/long-term-tests/10522/bmw-z4-sdrive-35i

I like your selection Nick. You like open tops? The interior of the 944 is incredible!

Yes, the Oak Green 16v looks very nice and would get my money. I had a Tornado Red back in the day. The Mini GP looks nice but both Clio Williams look a little tatty?

Thanks Nick. What do you think the T will fetch, 25k? Think I'd still go for the A110. I sat in a new mid=spec R5 EV last week. I was impressed with the interior, lots of nice details and the seats were lovely - reminded me of the R5GTT. Salesguy joked a number of customers have said it...
