What a funny topic :mrgreen:

Yeah I view pistonheads nearly everyday, and regularly keep an eye on trophy prices. You also know for a fact that all 3 of those Trophies you mentioned sold within a few days, with quite a few people (one being yourself?!) missing out on a purchase :lol: As someone said in a thread on...

Yeah no offence but thats alot to ask for in the car for £6*** Even 6 months ago cars with that spec were still going for £7000+ and now that the prices have gone up you will really be stretched to find one for that price as Chris said.

I agree too with the body roll comment, but I wouldnt say its bad. My previous car had 8kg/6kg spring rates on coilovers meant for japanese roads, no roll at all but it could get dangerous if you were not expecting it. The trophy is definitely more suited to these roads, it has a bit of roll yes...

Insured as a BMW 525 :lol:

Yeah you went right past my window, I live in Beal. I'l be honest, at first I thought someone had stolen my car :lol: but then caught the first part of the reg and was relieved! Some nice roads round here especially the way your going home. Probably see you again!

Coming through Beal, East Yorks this morning about 10:15? Didnt get all the reg.

I should of put my driving is 90% A and B roads + towns, hardly ever motorways. On motorway journeys I imagine near 40 wouldnt be too hard to achieve. Amazing for a 2.0, my old 1.3 turbo used to average 25 mpg :lol:

Get about 300 miles to 45 litres, could get 350 if i tried.. but I wouldnt of bought a trophy if i wanted to potter around. The 197's are notorious for their MPG compared to the 172/182, my friend has a 197 and coming back from cheshire he averaged 29, I averaged 34.* same speeds. Big difference!

I was wondering if someone would say mine was broke :lol: It moves backwards and forwards fine via the lever under the seat, should the leaver on the side do the same?

Depending on price/condition I may be interested in the tailgate, spoiler isnt needed

They both have one 'catch' The passenger one makes the seat fold AND move backwards / forwards. The drivers just makes the seat fold and doesnt move. Well, thats what mine does anyway.

Correct, if its not cup packed they will not fit on the trophy.

The only place there is a gasket is the cat to manifold connection, not even the cat to exhaust has a gasket so not quite sure where your talking about!

Getting my RS192 fitted shortly as the standard exhaust is leaking from the cat to exhaust join, I presume the clamp has given up ghost so I'l def need a new one! I just hope the leak isnt a hole on the cat flange :( Ive got some mikalor intercooler clamps somewhere from my old car, they...
