    OEM Steering wheel and gear gaitor re-trimmed.

    The gear gator looks great, but I'm not such a fan of the finish on the wheel...sorry buddy

    Why I sold my Trophy

    Looks lovely buddy, if I could afford it I'd change to one tomorrow. I'm very envious 8) :mrgreen:

    Clio Trophy vs Civic Type R

    I disagree. I know I do not own a Trophy, but a 182 with CUP packs & having previously owned a EP3 & DC5 I say there is very little in it until 3 figure speeds between the 192 & EP3, after that both the Honda cars would walk away. It is the opposite when cornering comes. My EP3 didn't not feel...

    DC5's

    Not been in a T, but previously owned a DC5 & I have never driven anything that would corner as well tbh. Sounds like he had poor tyres on.

    Trophy @ Ren-Tech Wednesday (I'm sure it had an Orb exhaust)

    Was it an owner from here? You came along with your little lass in the morning (She was very sweet btw) & collect alone in the arvo. I was the lad that was dropping off the RB182. Is your exhaust the Orb? It sounded subtle, but very nice as you left. :wink:

    I don't like my Trophy anymore...

    Still won't be as good as the FD2 equivalent imo. The front wings are a nice addition, but the dash & arse of the car are still a mess. Why not purchase a really clean Pre-face lift DC5 & spend 5K on it & it would disappear from this & still look fantastic.

    Cornering in a Trophy

    Have a look @ Hondas-on-track.com :wink: You can book North Weald days through them ALOT cheaper than anywhere else. And yes believe it or not plenty of different cars run with them. I've done it 3 times with them now & can not fault it, learnt plenty about the 182 too. Steve is right it is...

    Cornering in a Trophy

    It is don't put your foot on the accelerate until you know you don't have to take it back off :wink: As others have said try some instruction or an airfield day. Nothing to hit & plenty of space to try different approaches.

    Yozzasport or Scorpion RS192 ??

    My guy didn't have of the any horse shoe looking clamps, so undid my existing clamp, held the cat & cat-back pipe higher & re-tightened the clamp. It's definitely raised the cat. My middle hanger looked like it had seen better days so I'll get this changed once my axle stands come through...

    Yozzasport or Scorpion RS192 ??

    Sorry to interrupt the thread, but the join on my cat is poor too (Still on OEM exhaust) & might take a trip to my tyre/exhaust gent this arvo to try for one of those clamps to help rectify it. So thank you for sharing peeps :wink:

    FS: 2008/58 JDM Civic Type R FD2 Blue

    Very tuneable actually. A Gruppe M induction kit will probably see a solid 10BHP top end gain along with usable torque. Expect more in the mid-range. Then there is KPRO, different exhaust manifolds etc etc.

    WHat do people think of the Corsa Arctic??

    :shock: Really? Like others have said, it stood up well & glad to hear the lad is ok.

    Excess Vapour from exhaust....any ideas?

    Cheers Cue :wink: Your description of the exhaust vapour is bang on. Not been wanting to put my foot down to to thinking about it going pop tbh :oops: :lol: I'm half sure the poor fuel consumption has been down to short drives & very cold starts of late tbh buddy. Thanks for the tip with...

    Excess Vapour from exhaust....any ideas?

    Cheers guys :wink: I'll just have to wait for the OEM exhaust to rot off & then give her a treat replacement :twisted:

    Excess Vapour from exhaust....any ideas?

    Hey Gang, I've asked on CS & thought I'd ask on here for peace of mind tbh. Right the issue I have is my car has only covered just over 17,000 miles & all seems well, pulls as normal, idles the same as before, but I noticed as I pushed the car further up the rev range & as it came on cam there...

    Service Question

    I have a question regarding this again...sorry. My 182 is a 55 plate & has covered 16K, now Mike & Dave @ Rentech are doing the 36K service this month. Mike said they will change the AUX belt & check the pulley bearings, if they are fine & dandy then just the AUX belt will be change & not...

    Brakes and Insurance

    :shock: Really??? I know mine is a 182 & not the Trophy, but my renewal this year with the missus now added was only £400. I'm 28 with FNCB. Would the difference bewteen the 182 & Trophy to for an insurance co. warranty all that extra premium?

    Brakes and Insurance

    Greenlight are very good with mods etc They protected my NCB on the 182 with disclosed springs.
