It sounds like you're likely staying with Scorpion but I will add that I had an exhaust from ProSpeed in Cardiff and it was faultless. I only sold it on due to needing something a little bigger for my latest modifications. It was in fantastic condition, despite being the best part of a decade...

Nice one Al, I look forward to seeing another Trophy in the local area. It's going to be a slow 2 or 3 weeks... hahahaha! :)

Reviewers are raving about it, Chris. They reckon it's better than the Porsche Cayman in pretty much every respect and it sounds superb too. I'd love to take one for a spin.

I believe the new owner lives just down the road from me... :) He's got himself a nice Trophy.

Only the finest staples, mind... do ARP make them?

Step away from the office stapler... joking aside, glad to hear you are on the mend mate. :)

Yes mate - although it's not sold widespread. You generally need to find a WHSmiths or subscribe to the magazine. I'm not sure if it is particularly well-stocked in other outlets (if at all).

Don't forget the January / February 2018 edition of Performance French Cars magazine... :)

It was the only place to take it. Sadly @Rik Perry and Cornering Force weren't around back then. It was either BG Motorsport or buy new dampers.

The first time my Sachs were refurbed it was found that my rods were both scored badly, hence new replacements were needed. By the time the damaged parts had been replaced and the refurb complete, I was £1100 lighter. Add £700 to that for a cambelt service and it's not far off £2k really. I...

I'm beginning to wonder mate...! :)

Hi mate - welcome to the forum. If you can stretch the budget a little then @Steve@R-Sport cars is selling a rather tidy example... http://cliotrophy.co.uk/threads/trophy-294.54235/

With all due respect, Andy's a bit of a weird fella. There's no doubt he's a fan of the Trophy but it's laughable when he tries to make out that he actually owns one! Deluded! :P

That will be @dawnc182 's Trophy :) Looking forward to picking up a copy.

...which makes it difficult to determine it's number! It was a bit of a strange move to release a limited edition variant and not tie, for example, the VIN to the production number.

No - I don't think it is, Tim. My understanding is that the only way is by checking the sticker on the Recaro seat base (which isn't ideal!)

It's true. Currently trying to find out the number...

Snap! Great minds and all that! :)

Lose the stickers... :P

I didn't think you'd struggle to sell it at that price. Even with having to drop a new engine in it's coming in less than current market value.

Nice one mate, straight back into the saddle :) Please be careful!

Same here. Red Mark Fish springs.

No idea when it comes to standard engines, Dave... :P ;) Realistically I reckon you could get an engine for 3-400 quid (using the ancillaries, etc. you already have) and then factor in 5-600 for cambelt, couple hundred extra for fluids and other miscellaneous / unexpected items. If you can fit...

That's a shame mate. Someone just needs to drop a second hand engine in there and they've got a nice Trophy to enjoy for decent money. Especially if they can do the work themselves. Mansfield, eh? My hometown. I'll be up at the weekend visiting my folks and sister.

Order placed :) Thanks for organising this.

Sorry to hear that mate, that's really bad luck :( Same engine in all 182's mate. You can even drop a 172 lump in as they are 99.9% the same and will offer the same power output.

Modern Classics were asking back in August, but no idea what happened.

There is always a bit of a risk but you can find engines with known history and get the belts and work sorted by the likes of Mick at Diamond Motors. It's not cheap but I think it's worthwhile on a Trophy that is in otherwise good condition. Fingers crossed - as Claude states, this is very much...

Sorry to hear that mate :( I hope it's not as bad as you think. If the cambelt has let go then it might be worth sourcing a second-hand engine and dropping that in?

Paul Temperton again stated that the Renault coil packs are no longer available, hence suggested the following (for people who may need to buy such an item). http://www.mister-auto.co.uk/en/ignition-coil/valeo-245079_g689_a021245079.html
