    No. 243 - Front Shock Fitment

    I agree with the above - definitely remove the strut as that one is nothing more than eye-candy / additional weight. My ex bought one for me once, which was later replaced with the Pure Motorsport item and top mounts. Much better.

    Frayz’s Inferno orange 182 - Back in the old flame

    Do you know that @frayz guy? He's a bit of a "know it all t**t"... but you didn't hear it from me... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :)(y)

    Stock 182 Trophy Nurburgring

    How dense is the traffic? How competent is the driver? How brave is the driver? Full lap or BTG? TF or dedicated track day? Are the back seats up or down? Here's a piece of string and a tape measure... :)

    My Trophy coming out of isolation

    After 5-6 years without much movement my bearings weren't in great shape. They were knackered to be honest. Worth giving those a check over just to be on the safe side.

    Aftermarket Exhaust Failures

    Wow - if it is ProSpeed then I've never seen them make a system like that! I regretted selling mine as it was superb over the decade I had it. Not a single problem and it came with a lifetime (and transferable) guarantee.

    Orbisoud Exhaust

    I wish I'd never sold my Pro-Speed system - let it go for peanuts, too. :( I now need a new (full) system for mine as that is the last thing it needs before it can come home (oh, and an MOT).

    Frayz’s Inferno orange 182 - Back in the old flame

    Cheers @frayz - one of my favourite threads, full of great pics and useful information. The only negative being that it makes me even more desperate to get out for a drive! :(:ROFLMAO:

    New Suspension All Round?

    :eek: Wow, they've gone up £100?!?!?!! I paid £234 pound all-in and delivered!

    New Suspension All Round?

    Options are limited - you could go to a custom spring maker and pay a premium to have a copy of the original items made (assuming the specs are known) or go with something aftermarket that doesn't sway too far away from OEM. My personal recommendation would be either Eibach Sportlines or the...

    Trophy v2.0

    The standard manufacturer warranty is 4 years hence that ran out in January this year. As a sweetener to the deal, Porsche offered me two years extended warranty and Porsche Assistance. When that warranty period runs out then I will look to extend again - which is generally done in blocks of two...

    Trophy v2.0

    Thanks mate! :) I know I'm a bit biased but I think they look absolutely fantastic and that Porsche, as you say, got it right. The best bit is that it drives even better than it looks. I have considered a few tweaks and upgrades (including a 25 grand DeMaan engine upgrade to 560whp...) but...

    Trophy v2.0

    Thanks mate, and you're welcome. I'm not going to apologise for the LFC wallet though... :ROFLMAO: Lifelong supporter and looking forward to (hopefully) being able to win the Prem title this year. Or whenever it starts again. If it starts again! Ah, a Boxster S - I'm a big fan of the Boxsters...

    Wheel Spacers??

    I swap between Trophy and Cup Turinis on mine (the different offsets) and not noticed any difference in handling whatsoever, on both track and road. Honestly, I'd only do it if you think it improves the aesthetics mate.

    The Trophy for sale from AM Performance is #152 but, as @jarjarmustdie mentioned, it has seen slight accident damage (Cat D, 2008) and subsequently repaired.

    Trophy Info

    Hi folks, I've just made a few minor updates to TrophyTracker. It can now support images for each car. To see it in action, feel free to search for my Trophy - 165 - and you should see a couple of images at the bottom of the record entry. If you have an image or two for your car that you would...

    Clio trophy - Wanted

    Thank you mate. :) Don't pay too much attention, it's an extreme example of what happens when you choose the wrong specialists (and I use the term loosely) to carry out work on your behalf. And a bit of bad luck thrown in for good measure! :ROFLMAO: Regardless, they are great cars and I hope...

    Jacking technique

    I use pretty much the same as @frayz has kindly illustrated. My sills are knackered (I think, it's been a while....) and I have slit blocks of wood and rubber that I use between the mating faces of jack/stand and subframe. Although I can't recall seeing those for some time either! :ROFLMAO:(y)
