tyre

Only just noticed Michelin are doing Pilot Sport 3 tyres now anyone running these? http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/blog/1 ... t-sport-3/ :D

What is the latest thinking on this for the T? I'm currently looking for a set of wheels and tyres to use on the track (not for the road at all), my starter for 10 is: 16" rims and R888's but is that the best option?? Also, related to the track, what tyre pressures do people think work best...

Ok, there's good news and bad news. I'll start with the good, so I can delay the inevitable lol. I LOVE these tyres. I fitted them at the beginning of December. I've used them through snow, ice, rain, you name it. They start well from cold for a track tyre. A bit of wheel spin in snow and ice...

Hello CT :D Recently I have been getting 24 mpg so I thought something must be up with the car. I had a look at the tyres a couple of days ago but they all looked find, today however, I thought I would check the pressures to make sure they were ok as ive not checked them for a couple of...

Gutted pot hole burst my side wall on new tyre last night.....

Hi everyone, looking for some advice.... My 43k trophy has been an absolute joy to own for the past year and a half although i am now beginning to wonder if something is up with it. When im driving along at normal speeds there seems to be a bit more play around the straight ahead when i wigle...

Hi fellas After selling my Trophy I bought a 172 cup to build into a sprint and hillclimb car. I may have posted this elsewhere but cant remember (must be my age!) Heres the link to my blog. Any questions post it here! http://w193tfvhillclimbcar.blogspot.com/ :D

Hi, Will 195/50/16 (toyo R888) stretch over the trophy wheels? Looking at doing some trackdays, any recommendations on tyres? Cheers Tom

Decided to get myself a nice new steering wheel from Omp ..didnt expect it to take weeks but supose its worth it, few quick short snaps .. what you think , going to detail the car this week inside and out , pics not the best of quality ( IPHONE ) ..

Just checked my tyre pressures after recently buying the car. Rears were around 20, fronts were around mid 20's Bumped them up to 33/30 as per the manual. Car now feels very squirmy and skate like on roundabouts and such, it was like glue before. Do you guys find that less pressure works best?

Another boring tyre question. But what speed rating Exalto PE2's should i be using as just went to check then visually and found that i have both 2 V's and 2 W's!

I have placed an order for these on Tuesday and I still have not received them. I was going to phone up on monday. I have realised that they are based in the lakes and so are probably flooded. Anyone got any further info on their situation. Does anywhere else sell them? I have 2 fronts on the...

Where are the deals to be had on PE2's at the moment? Need two new fronts, definately noticed the wear today on the wet greasy surfaces!! :shock:

Had a run on some Dastek rollers. Best run was 156.8bhp at the wheels and 192.6bhp at the fly. Interestingly I had just fitted a green cotton IK and have yet to fit the CAFs. The difference between bonnet up and bonnet down was 4bhp. Not an exact test but give and indication to how much CAFs...

Hi guys, not been on here for agggggggggggggesss! Basically, Im selling Autoglym products, I sell on about 10 forums, mainly saxp, zsoc, 206info, astra o.c etc So, heres the crack - I sell every autoglym product, but at the moment, ive got the products below - If someone wants something else...

Hello Trophy owners, I Know its probably been asked before but whats your average/best mpg figures?

...........unsure if it is my imagination but my Trophy appears to be lower on the front than the back when parked and thinking the worst about front dampers. Had recent MOT and no problems whatsoever, no leaks from the dampers and the 'gap' on both sides feel ok. Is it just my paranoya (sorry...

replaced all four of my tyres 11 months ago and the front need replacing already! Just been driving the trophy normally due to cost of petrol but in any 1s experience of the none standard tyre is there a 1 that lasts longer?

I have for sale a brand new Speedline Turini fitted with an Michelin Exalto. If anyone wants a spare wheel and/or new tyre this is ideal - £150. I live near Cambridge and I would prefer the buyer to collect. TVM Jason.

Hello Guys joined up after seeing the sticker in the back of my new trophy i picked up from Ely just over a week and a half ago. Who ever used to have it must be on here and must have looked after it , its tip top and i love it , i have had lots of cards , turbo non turbo vxr's and this is well...

It's time for another Opie Oils competition! In something of a reprise of our competition back in June, we're giving away over £150's worth of cleaning, polishing and detailing products... but this time you stand more chance of a prize because there's the added bonus of 3 runners up prizes...

I'm currently having my dampers refurbished and had a snapped spring so I'm looking at getting some alternatives as replacements from Renault are a shocking price. I was recommended the Sportline Springs by Yozzasport but some other people think they will lower the car by up to 50mm?! Has...

Hiya all, am looking for a set of these as my next compromise road tyre. I am having a hard time finding them in Trophy size, any tips? Camskills do them but are out of stock ATM. Cheers,

A weekend break to rural Norfolk proved too much for the Trophy: a massive pothole in the grassy car park of Holkham Hall saw my splitter, er, split into pieces. Gutted :( Guess I'll have to fork out the £120 for a replacement from K-Tec. I unscrewed it when I got back to where I was...

literally just de-pinned 264, while im putting it back together can people tell me... how many clicks are factory how many is advised for road use and how many for track .... and anything else. thanks guys

Exalto PE2 Group Buy: 205/45 16' v rated. Right this is mearly an expression of interest - i'm not sure if I can sort one at this stage but if enough people are interested i'll make some enquiries with my trade contacts.... Stick your name down with how many you need, i'll then be able to look...

As part of the rebuild a few things will be available over the next few months :wink: Not sure they'll be any use to people on here, but i may as well let you all know Bits to be stripped: All windows inc windscreen Bonnet (not in perfect condition, got 2 small deep scratches) Passenger door...

Hiya guys just wondered if anyone knows how to remove the standard gear knob?? Also what tyre pressures are you guys using for every day rod use? (Exalto's)
