What perfect little cars they'll be for girls in a few years time, then!

I used to have a red Fiat Coupe 20VT a few years back. Really fun little thing, didn't handle well but looked good and went pretty quick. BUT: it turned completely pink over two years as the pigment in the paint oxidised (or whatever it does). It was an R-reg and this was in 2002. So I'm...

Yeah, and he'll get the outgoing shocks re-furbed when he pulls them off. It was pretty obvious the existing ones were shot - the front bounced like a ball.

Poor thing. You almost want to rescue it and give it a good home...

Actually, the 319 bit was a total lie: it was 426! Don't know where I got 319 from...the existing owner WILL be surprised to hear his car's for sale... Anyway, chucked down a deposit. There's a bit of work that needs doing, including the replacement of the two front dampers (there was nothing...

Have you got a picky?

I'm not an expert on cars - my real knowledge is in high-performance motorcycle engines - but on one of those you'd NEVER meddle significantly with the intake system without re-mapping the ECU; you'd end up with flatspots all over the place. I'm looking at a couple of cars next week, I'm...

So who are the acknowledged people in the South-East to take Trophies to for re-mapping/engine work? Is there an ECU chip that you guys know about that fills in noise/emissions holes in the powercurve, or improves throttle response? Thanks!

Hi everyone - I've been knocking around the idea of getting a Trophy for a while now, and I'm going to be buying one very soon now. Quick question: is it best to get a bog-stock example (what I've always done in the past) or does the Trophy respond well to a cat-back pipe and a panel filter...
