Sorry, this is a picture of Matt's one, Mine has only just been ordere so will arrive in the next day or so (with my keyring and CG-Lock hopefully) What a treat XOG is in for, little does he know that that the little aluminium sphere might have saved his neck, it was buy a DC5 or get a decent...

The road is the truest test and I was all over an ST the other day, the acceleration isn't a patch on RS's I've come up against and the body roll is shocking, the guy was having to slow down so much in the bends because he was understeering off the road. If I cared what car walked away from me...

Marc - You need to undo the middle of three bolts on the Isofix bar to release the bracket that is attached inside the seat back. You will need a Torx bit T25 I think. The seat back then clips out of the mountings on the sides and pulls out. The seat base just pulls out! If you want to remove...

In that case mine are staying silver just to be different! Although I have got a nice shiney gearknob in the post, so much for the 'leather' of the standard one, it's worn away on the right side and feels all 'gluey' to the touch. It has done since it came back from Permagard. The new owner will...

Buy it Duffer, it'll ruin you but you'll enjoy it. I used to e-mail a guy that was really into 205's. He was absolutely loaded and in his mid-forties, owned all kinds of exotica and said that the best cars he'd ever owned were a 205 GTI, an F355 and his favourite - an Delta Integrale. He said...

Lovely looking cage, if you're not planning any trackdays, was it just for cosmetic reasons? Matt- - i read somewhere that a Harness should always be tied as far back as possible, I have no idea why.

Any more of this talk and I might have to 'modify' your Rank. :lol: Just kidding, nice write-up Gareth, it's much more valuable for me to hear opinions from other Trophy owners than Journalists. I'll keep an open mind. I think most 197 owners are still waiting for their engines to 'loosen...

I'm going through my second DC5 affair at the moment. Am also interested in a White one, I love the blue and the silver and the black but Type-R's should be white, I think. Things I like the most are; It's a Coupe, but a light one (350kgs lighter than a 330 Ci but the same power!) It's an...

Wow what a lovely great. fat Volvo-engined nightmare! What a shame they don't have those over here, it would be really funny trouncing that overweight 'rally replica' - What a shocker. Seriously though, I like the wheels, look like the 20" optional wheels for the 599 GTB Fiorano.

Great report __CA__, thank you. Your views seem to correlate with the press's. Most of these new hot hatches are very good cars, it's just the british enthusiast is such a hard to please audience and the manufacturer's always have to please the mainstream in the end. I personally would NEVER buy...

That's alright George, the least I can do, regurgitating some mindless statistics from a very limited calculator - compared with the proper informative posts that you provide. So here are some more; JDM CIVIC TYPE-R (According to new figures); Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 220 Weight...

I use the suction mount that came with my XDA Orbit but it lives in the glove box and I wipe the mark off the windscreen (after my mum who's a DC told me the little tea-leaves look for the sucker mark).

Well done Trophychick, now get onto the moneyclaim website and sue their arses! They'll settle out of court for less than a grand.

^^^Exactly what I was about to write! Had me worried for a second there, another 18 months for me as there's no way I'm going over 60K.

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 220 Weight without Driver (KG) : 1000 Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 223.53 0 - 60 (Secs) : 5.30 0 - 100 (Secs) : 12.92 60 - 100 (Secs) : 7.61 Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.68 Terminal Speed (MPH) : 102.92 Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.48 Drag...

Erm a weird one, I'm often perplexed at torque/power increases, surely if the max torque is now at 5250rpm (very close to the torque/power crossover at 5252rpm) then the power will increase by exactly the same amount?!?!?! MAybe the torque drops off rapidly enough after that point to mean that...

I like it, although I completely agree that you should get the gear stick and wheel insert done too. (No point for you Matt!) I say this and I hate cosmetic modding of cars, it's been done really well and exactly in the style of the 172 Cup/Vee.

...contemplating demoting msyelf the day before the comp, then asking for reinstatement.

Yeh too true, way too many iterations of the same boring Jap cars and no Porsche or Ferrari. Although they've got Ferrari this time and RUF will do for Porsche. I modded a 172 with Anthracite Speedlines and racing suspension, gave it an oli change for 182bhp and used to see what time I could...

Why is he a moron? I reckon I could bastard a Trophy together from the 172 Cup model, and the spoiler from the V6. A bit of paint here and there and the decals. Bob's your Uncle!

Do a search with 'cg lock' or 'cg-lock', it won't turn up! I had to put in 'discount code' in the end to find it. Odd. Cue - Thank you yes, I think I realise that, impeccable timing I thought, to post that three seconds after I order one for £32!

Me too, there doesn't exist a model of the Trophy yet and I'm sure there are lots of non-owners who would like one to add to their greatest cars ever made collection. So far I have a Minichamps 1/43rd scale McLaren F1 and 205 GTI.

I'll help in any way I can, spell check the letter for instanse.

This is what happens when you fit race car suspension to a lego shopping trolley! We're all falling apart, quick sell!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!! I've just placed my order after no response from anyone on here!!!! (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) (swear) Fuc-k f-uck fu-ck...

http://cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/viewtopic ... highlight= Found it, cheers guys. £32 - What a steal!

WWHHHHHHOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! It's official - the search function is sheeeeeeee-ite. Had to trawl to find this lil' beaut. Cheers Jezza.

Exactly, Yozz will tell you they're a vast improvement 'til the cows come home. Donkey, who has a fair bit of experience with brakes on track says they're unecessary. The difference between them is Yozz is selling them and Donkey isn't. :lol:

:lol: You think you've got troubles, I've got to somehow arrange a 300 mile detour via the factory on the way to the South of France and then spend £700 on an exhaust when the the one I've got is working perfectly well and when we're buying a house the moment we get back. Luckily she...

It's going to be pub table jewelry across the land, people will have no choice but to ask after our exotica now! :lol:
