    potenial new owner looking to buy ?eugene's? old car? no323

    If 323 is in generally good condition, why worry? Good as a 182 Cup is, it will never satisfy you the way a Trophy can. I'm selling my Trophy at the moment and I can tell you it's hurting already to do so.

    For Sale 316/500

    Thanks Jay, It is cheap, but think it's about right as I'm taking into account the few minus points. compared with Drew who sold his recently think it's about right, but for someone willing to accept that a few things need attention they are getting a fantastic car for a good price. I just...

    Jay, They seem to be getting quite common in Surrey, though sightings seem to be rare still. I am often around Weybridge, West Byfleet, Woking, Guildford, so will no doubt see you around again soon. I had been out very early on Sunday for a superb drive on one of my 'circuits' around Surrey...

    Snow Chains

    Cue, You are not obliged to have winter tyres in Switzerland during the cold season, BUT there are some insurers over there who will refuse to cover you if you don't have them fitted and with minimum 4mm tread left!. There are some roads where chains (or studded tyres, which you hardly ever...

    Saw you parked in Bright Hill car park. In fact I parked almost next to you with mine. Only the 3rd one I've seen in two and a half years. Nice exhaust you've got which one is it?

    Snow Chains

    Because there's not enough clearance around the wheels. you'll flail your arches to bits, plus you might cause problems for those lovely Sachs race dampers. Anyway, you should get a set of 15'' wheels with winter tyres and then you'd be able to fit chains if you need to. oxygen did this with...

    Front Splitter Details

    Dear jonnyd1987, Your mate said he thought they were for show, did he? Well, how dare he? Everyone knows that every single part of the Trophy is there to make for the finest driving experience you can have, down to the last nut (including the one behind the wheel). Nothing on the Trophy is...

    Engine Management Light!

    Hey Luke, thanks for that. Haven't used the car since this happened :( and probably won't be able to do anything until after New Year now, but will let you know what the problem ends up being. I noticed the tailpipes are black and sooty. Coal-fired Trophy anyone? Everything happens at once. The...

    Engine Management Light!

    Am having huge problems with this now. Had occasional problems in the past if engine left idling for a long time and the light would flash, but would then go out after half a mile of normal driving. There was absolutely no problem with the engine at all and performance was always as good as...

    TROPHY INSURANCE - ANY RECOMMENDATIONS?

    I tried Chris Knott, but they were not the cheapest. I have been with Aviva/NU for years but this time they wanted £450 so I tried confused.com and came up with LV at £260 but then I added a few extras like European cover as I travel abroad quite a lot so it came out a whisker above £300. But...

    Petrol tax hike

    BenG - getting an Evo? Surely you're not leaving us? I have been getting close to leaving(selling) myself but trying to avoid it. Sam_K - I'm with you all the way, as long as I have my Trophy I'll keep filling it up. It'd take something huge to stop me from doing that. quik5i1ver - no doubt it...

    Petrol tax hike

    V-Power now at 112.9p around my way again. Last time I mentioned the petrol price at the same level was in March 2008 when crude oil was at $97 per bbl. Today crude is just below $80 per bbl. This means it's not just the government ripping us off........

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    My top mounts were changed under warranty before I owned the car (316). Might be worth checking them and replacing or consider putting solid ones in - if, that is, you don't have a bad back or too many fillings.....

    Can someone tell me?!

    If it bugs you that much what did u get a T for? Even with a FF rear seat you still need to be a double leg amputee and have an iron stomach to ride in the back of a T, especially on British A/B roads.

    Hi - Newbie

    Do you really see any of those as a loss? Climate Control - I find in the Trophy when I'm too hot I switch the aircon on and when I'm cold I switch it off. Car Audio - maybe if it's that important to you, but the Trophy one is more than adequate imho. Xenons remain a huge mystery to me -...

    Totally agree, but think PCM have improved a lot since the beginning. I don't mind Evo and PCM thinking Integra pips the T to the post. I reckon we're in good company with the Integra anyway. I am nowhere near to affording an R26.R or thinking that the Integra is that much better to be worth...
