Brought some Oz Racing F1's alloys for the Trophy to use as track wheels. They was in a right state so refurbed them myself and got a mate to paint them. The colour is darker than I anticpated but turned out not a bad match to Capscuim Red. So with Bedford track day coming up had some Yokohama...
I know theres plenty of threads on exhaust choices here but it's time for me to invest in a new one as mine is starting to look and sound pretty tired, slight rattle and movement under center section. I don't want it to be loud so it seems like either of these is the choice, is any one quieter...
As above, I've purchased a set of Koni Yellow adjustable rear dampers and was wondering what is the best setting for road use whilst still maintaining decent handling.

What rare cars have you seen on the road?
1. I spotted a debadged camouflaged BMW i8 last Friday on M25
2. Veyron on the M40
3. 26 Trophys at Gaydon 2 years ago ;)
What kind of springs work best with the Sachs apart from the standard ones? Looking to go for stiffer springs but don't want to wreck the dampers in the process.
Thanks.
The silver plate on my gear knob is badly worn. Are any of the plates on ebay any good?
Or Renault want £68 for a replacement knob. (which they claim is now leather)....anyone had one?
Hopefully my 197 will go saturday. So, I am on the hunt for an a1 Trophy, pref under 60k
Located in Buckinghamshire, willing to travel for the right one.

So my cars been making this noise for a while now, so far the lower ball joints, outer track rod ends and steering rack bushes have all been changed, and the car has solid top mounts fitted.
So the noise started out quiet a few months ago, and is progessively getting louder, but from underneath...
After getting my xenon headlights fitted we came across the fact that everything was held together with odd bolts and screws. I have jumped online and managed to get every single part number for every nut, bolt, screw & clip needed for the Arch Liners, Bumper & Under Tray.
The problem is that...
I'll soon be renewing the insurance on the the T and made some initital enquiries about agreeing a value for it should the worst happen. They've requested pictures (front, rear, left, right, interior, engine bay) and I guess they'll come up with a low figure and we'll start the negotiations...

Hi guys, since picking up #151 I've not had much chance to put any miles on her as I've been out of town with work. I have had both the timing belt and aux belts changed out and it's driving really well. I put about 150 miles into the car (mostly motorway) and I'm really happy with the drive...
I set the newly refurbed dampers to (what I thought was) 22 clicks. It was as stiff as anything, handled well but felt extremely unstable on the motorway and there was literally no body roll.
I've turned them down a few times and there's a slight bit of body roll now and it feels better...
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the problems I'm having with my T atm
Filled up full yesterday and drove 110 miles motorway no stopping and a constant 56mph the whole way and some how managed to get through half a tank ! Also it feels to be lacking power and engine...

Can somebody please report back on the following:
Driving straight ahead at 60+ MPH using small movements of the wheel around the centre is there much "feel/feedback"? I have had lots of work done on curing a wandering/tramlining problem which is now sorted and the handling/steering feel is now...
Hi,

I've just acquired Trophy and on my 300mile drive back through pouring rain I noticed the following:
Cold air enters the car from under the drivers dashboard irrespective of the airflow setting. This goes away with the fan set at 2 or the recirculation on.
Anyone have any ideas on the solution?
I've got a couple of adjustable wiper stalks from a 172/182 FF
These allow you to adjust the speed of the intermitant wipers. Something that always used to annoy me in 007.
£15 posted each.
Just just a heads up to say that RUK are placing orders with both sachs and speed line.
Spoke to my RUK advisor today and she has told me that they have placed an order of 48 speed line wheels to be held in UK stock.
I have also asked about the sachs stickers on the shocks once again and she...
