    Stiffest clutch I've ever felt across a good few makes.

    Keep me posted on how it fairs in the fun stakes compared to the Trophy.

    037 looking for a new home

    Is it a Cup? I know it's early days but how do these Meganes compare with the Trophy in pure driving terms?

    Understeer- or lack thereof

    On decent tyres, has anyone ever experienced any that isn't just a hint and then totally disappears? Now I know these grip like limpets but coming off a slip road there, 5 degrees, soaking wet (good visibility) and properly pushing it to see just how much the front can run wide, feel it...

    Greenlight - No more agreed valuations

    Why not just up the premium to reflect the sanity of the customers in question? Very odd.

    Well they're £200 brand new delivered from a dealer.

    Trophy for sale #423

    It exposes the seller's ignorance to ask for £6k and not even have an MOT on the thing. He'll be waiting a while, I suspect.

    Eagle F1 compared to PS3 XL

    Camskill and blackcircles have them in stock. It's more with how the extra load rating compares with the Goodyear? Goodyears are cheap for what they are so is an extra £50 worth it for 2 of the PS3 XL's?

    Eagle F1 compared to PS3 XL

    I've been very happy with the Goodyears but have heard a few folk mention the XL PS3 as offering a much better feel than other tyres, has anyone compared these directly? I only need to replace 2 tyres just now but am wondering if it's worth changing for better feel or if it's negligible?

    GOOD NEWS - Sachs Rears

    Are you sure that was for Trophy ones? This is as cheap as I've seen them, even looking back to threads over 5 years old on cliosport.

    Rear discs getting pitted.?

    What exactly do you mean by not set up right? It was a well regarded specialist that fitted them so hopefully it's just the sliders.

    Rear discs getting pitted.?

    The rear calipers on my car were replaced 2 years ago but something seems up with them. O/S pads have worn at least twice as much as the N/S. Just seems odd with recent calipers. FWIW, if you do go for new brakes soon, I got genuine items from here for under £100-...

    EVO Tests as PDF? Can anybody help?

    No pdf but it's better than nothing! Not sure what you're thinking about the Ford GT though- it won the whole thing. ;)

    Wanted : Trophy in East Central Scotland

    Did you have any joy? I'm also in Carnoustie and saw that one advertised, thought it looked and sounded well kept.

    Cheers, is any of that visible to check without having to remove covers?

    Cruise control/speed limiter not working

    No I've purely left it to the mechanic. What am I physically looking for down there? Any photos?

    Cruise control/speed limiter not working

    So I can call up the symbols on the dash when I press the switch but can't actually activate either of them. I've had the car since October 2014 and it's never worked in my ownership, just getting round to it now. I've had it in at the garage and the mechanic was thinking either the clutch...

    No Pilot Sport 4 tyres?

    Are they definitely stopping PS3 production though? And since when did most Trophy drivers hate the Goodyears? They're ruddy brilliant.

    Average MPG

    Low 30's. Depends on the type of road as the back roads to/from work beg you to nail it. Given the short gearing, I find sitting at 70 really hurts the mpg on a cruise and can't get much past 35mpg indicated. For full economy mode I need to sit at 60 or less.

    Trophy Update

    The Scorpion one one mine sounds nothing of the boy racer sort at all. If I knew nothing of them I'd think it came from the factory.
