    Thinking of selling this summer - a few questions!

    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...

    Knocking from transmission tunnel

    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...

    Suspension Woes - Any help hugely appreciated!

    Put the Trophy in for its annual service/MOT and it turns out BOTH front springs are broken and a rear damper is leaking. Car had basically sat for 6 months straight beforehand so I am surprised. Front dampers are fine with no leaks (they were refurbed last August). My questions to you good...

    Dyce Aberdeen - Private Plate starting "EEZ"

    I work in the same office but haven't established who else has a Trophy? I don't use mine at the moment but by the summer there could be two Trophies in the car park ;)

    Someone had a go at my Trophy :(

    Found it like this on Sunday morning (also posted on PH): Had #110 in Edinburgh less than two weeks parked in what I thought was a decent enough area. Have learned my lesson and moved it back to a secure garage in the countryside. Really upsets me that someone has felt the need to do this :(

    Saturday 26th March: Dunecht, Aberdeenshire

    Saw SX55***(i think!) coming out of Dunecht in Aberdeen direction about 4.30pm. I was in silver Mk4 Golf heading other direction, if I'd have been in the Trophy I would have flashed! :D

    What a joy!

    Drove 110 this weekend for the first time since November and its like having a new car all over again! Simply a sublime motor; handling, acceleration, sound, driver involvement, phenomenal! No real point to this post, just thought I'd share my Trophy enthusiasm! :D Now washed and tucked up...

    What's your Trophy mileage?

    110 has done 38,769 but I've only done just over 2k since acquiring her in June 2010. I'm just curious as to how well used these cars are on average? Is your Trophy a daily driver or a weekend/summer toy? Cheers! :)

    Tinny exhaust rattle?

    I have a powerflow catback system which was fitted mid 2009 by previous owner I believe. It is very loud IMO which I like but I've recently become aware of a rattling audible at idle and when coasting. I had a look and all I can say is that when you "pat" the left backbox there is said rattle...

    Storing my Trophy

    Due to a change in financial circumstances :( I'm taking the rather hard decision to suspend my insurance policy (a huge cost for me being 20) and lay #110 up until maybe spring or early summer next year. That way I'll be saved from renewing my insurance again in June as I can potentially...

    Chambers Street, Edinburgh

    My flatmate saw one parked outside the Sheriff Court just after 3pm Thursday. 05 plate he said, no other details I'm afraid!

    #110 failed MOT! :(

    Just got the call to say she failed primarily for exhaust emissions. Not sure what to do. Its a powerflow catback system fitted at the moment but I assumed that because there is still a cat fitted it should pass? It could just be a faulty sensor apparently, but I'm preparing myself that I may...

    Some TW@T scratched my Trophy!

    Need to vent! A couple of days ago I drove to the gym and parked in the quiet car park (only 3-4 other cars in it) as I'm paranoid about door-dingers. I come back out to see a still almost empty car park apart from some genius who decided to park their beaten up sh!tty Honda Accord within...

    Remap?

    Hi folks, Trophy noob here! I have a couple of questions I would appreciate being answered if possible! Firstly if I were to fully de-cat my Trophy would a remap be necessary? If I just keep the cat-back system I have would a remap be in any way beneficial? I run on 95 Ron purely because its...
