Thought I'd visit the site again as I keep seeing someone's Trophy whilst on the train.....brought back memories.
It's been almost a year and a half since my Trophy got written off and I've since sold my Focus RS as I got bored of it and got a new toy :twisted:
Check out the pics, what...
I have a parcel shelf gathering dust from my Trophy which was written off last christmas and thought I'd put it here on the off chance someone needed one. It's in perfect condition and the only reason I had it out of the car was to create more luggage space.
£20 just to get rid before I ebay...
Just got the replacement for the Trophy yesterday. 20k miles on the clock and paid £14,750 from a trader completely factory standard. I feel guilty for saying it but it's better than the Trophy in every aspect in my opinion:
The clutch pedal is harder, the brake pedal is harder and has...
Brand new locking wheels nuts from Halfords for the Clio 182/182 Trophy, may fit 172/172 Cup. Handy if you've lost the original locking wheel nut key like I did. £20
Since #230 has gone bust I now have 2 PE2's that I don't need. £140 ovno for both to be collected in the Redhill area (coz I can't be arsed to mail them). PM me if interested. If not, then I'll give Cliosport.net a go.
Cheers
Now that the red beast has died (see R.I.P. #230 post in clio discussion) I've got my eye on a Ford Focus RS.
On looking through tuning mags such as Performance Ford I noticed that a number of people have tuned their RS's to 400bhp and beyond, however, their 0-60 times haven't improved in...
Number 230 is sadly a write off.
The story:
Christmas eve at 8:00pm I was travelling South on the Brighton Road, Purley, Croydon with my sister and had just come through the lights at the junction of Old Lodge Lane (some of you might know it). On approaching the speed camera some F*****...
Just got 2 brand new Michelin's from MyTyres.co.uk and popped down to my local RSR Tyres branch to get them fitted where they told me that I needed the locking wheel nuts and key to get the wheels off. Fair enough I thought, and after much searching I've realised the Trophy didn't come with them...
What's the most anyone's had out of their Trophy? A friend recently borrowed mine and said he took it up to 155mph with his dad in the passenger seat and felt like it still wanted to go even faster! I know the speedometer reads 160mph but I found this hard to believe as the spec notes top speed...
I've been told by R-sport that the brake lines on my Trophy are already braided, however, a lot of people on here swear by Goodridge braided brake lines with good results. Is there anyone near Redhill or Croydon who's fitted these lines able to let me test them out so I can see the difference...
Some peugeot 206 driving idiot rear-ended me at about 15mph. His bumper and bonnet were smashed up but all my car had was paint marks.
On close inspection there were no cracks or loosened fittings underneath or in the boot but I'm taking it to the garage just in case.
I must start playing...
Which dealer in the Surrey area would be best to get the stereo buttons on the steering wheel fixed? I've heard all sorts of horror stories about different dealers.
Previously got what I thought was the cheapest quote through confused.com by Admiral - £870. Spoke to Darren @ Greenlight insurance who quoted me £757!
Well worth checking out.
How much does the air con weigh in the trophy? Was told about 40kg - sound about right? Also, is stripping it out classed as a modification for insurance purposes?
Thanks
Test-driving the £12995 trophy out of Renault in Coulsdon this Friday and boy am I going to wring it's neck out!
I figure I'm going to head South towards Merstham on the A23 then return via the country roads through Chipstead that run parallel to the A23 to ensure that my passenger will...
What do you guys think the value would be for the following spec on a private sale:
March 2004 53 plate 172 cup with 20k mileage, modified to 200bhp atf on rolling-road, £14k bought new?
I'm thinking of buying one from a mate pretty soon, he's asked around the £10k mark.
Opinions...
Just seen your clio on cliosport.net and was quite impressed with the engine spec. What performance figures are you getting with 225bhp i.e 0-60 and top speed and do you think increasing capacity to 2500cc would be feasible and worthwhile? I ask coz I might be buying my mate's modified 182 which...
Saw this Trophy compucars.co.uk with just under 14k miles for £14.5k. It's 001 and had 1 owner, are they asking too much?

Hi all.
I'm seriously thinking about buying a Trophy in the next couple of months or so when the cash comes through and have a few questions. As always, after getting used to a car we start craving more power, however, with this car I don't think I'd go as far as increasing engine capacity or...
