Just over 48k miles on my Trophy, should get that well over 50k this summer before she goes back into hibernation!

Aberdeenshire. As far as I'm aware I don't have a local Specialist!

I have a lovely Trophy that is SORN'd and garaged which, unfortunately, I am struggling to justify keeping. My other car is a 300bhp Impreza Turbo and I just can't see me going back to regularly using the Trophy at any point. I could also do with releasing the funds to run the Scoob! Spec of...

I'll answer what I can: 1. Totally normal. 2. Common fault though I've not encountered. 3. Normal, a remap can smooth it out apparently. 4. Get someone knowledgeable to do it! 6. Several people have had their wheels re-trimmed with great results. 7. Mine too, not got round to cleaning though...

I have an Impreza Turbo (5dr) as well as my Trophy! :p

Thanks for the replies, tempted to just order all three mounts from KTEC now but will wait and see what the garage say.

Happens if don't change very gently from 1st to 2nd, also when I accelerate and lift off as well as well as when down-changing under engine load (say 5th to 2nd @ 30mph). Does this sound like worn engine/gearbox mounts? My other theory was that it is the exhaust knocking as currently I have...

After all that carry-on with rear dampers the Trophy feels superb. Whether its the new sportlines making the difference I don't know, but running standard 182 rear dampers doesn't seem to cause any issues at all. I'm seriously questioning whether its worth the £200 for Konis...next year maybe!

Not available for immediate despatch their website says! I am quicker getting 182 dampers (they're already ordered) then at least I can look around and find best deal on Konis at my leisure if I feel the need. Main priority is car back on the road ASAP!

Both Larkspeed and Motorsport World told me the factory for the Konis has gone into liquidation and as such there wouldn't be any available until October. There may be the odd pair kicking around but I just need the car back on the road so standard 182 dampers it is for now. The good thing is...

Well I am still without dampers!! Was told 5 working days from France for the Sachs, two weeks ago! Turns out they are on backorder with no timescale for actually delivering them, most helpful. So, Konis AND Sachs unavailable so I have just resorted to 182 cup dampers from Ktec. Even they won't...

Thanks for that! Just phoned on the off chance and ordered the Sachs for £201ish. I'd have preferred Konis but I really can't be without the car too much longer. I'm sure with the Sportlines and having non-leaking shiny new Sachs the handling will be much improved regardless!

Anyone any ideas on where I can find the Koni's? Tried Larkspeed and Motorsportworld and apparently they are unavailable till September/October due to the factory going into liquidation. May have to stump up for Sachs but don't want to if Koni's are better. :(

Thanks, I've been doing a little more reading and almost totally sold on the Konis! :)

My car is pretty much standard, although I'll be fitting Eibach Sportlines so really not sure on the rear dampers as I don't want to regret my decision! Anyone one here driven both setups?
