    What do you all think?

    What do you all think of the new Focus RS? I'm wondering whether, after three and a half years of Trophy ownership, it might be time to P/X it against a new RS. The Megane R26R has been considered but is too much of a compromise, we're a one car house and I drive mostly motorway miles.Thoughts...

    Cat-back & panel filter improvements?

    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...

    chech your seals!

    Hi guys, this should probably go in the Trophy Faults section but I thought that since it could cost a lot to fix people should know. My beloved Trophy has been in the garage for a week because a number of seals around the engine and gear box were perishing. It's taken so long cause the garage...
