I don't think he'd fit in an Exige to be fair! And he has owned two trophies. I think three would be pushing it :D

I agree, the car feels great with less roll and less pitch under braking. I can't wait to try the RS2's. I might have to get some for my spare set of wheels as my Michelins are in good health and I'm not doing any miles at the moment! I know the car feels so much different when you change from...

I don't think Cue had the MF setup fitted but I could be mistaken? I like to have the fronts at around 26 clicks from soft and the rears between 1 and 1.5 turns from soft. I often soften up the dampers if I'm taking passengers though (especially rear). Once you have driven it with them firm it...

Sounds like I'll be getting a full set of these when the time comes. Been meaning to for ages but finding them when you need them doesn't seem too easy. Where did you buy them? Thanks for the review, Luke.

You could order some from camskill @ £90 each then fit locally, or use event tyres @ £105 each fitted at home or work. http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m4b0s344p0 http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/quotation/results.php

Let us know what you think :D

It'll feel like a different car! :D Seems a shame not to drive on the PE2's with the new suspension before changing.

Good job you had the Trophy there to brighten up the pictures :D

I had my inlets matched at Angelworks and the car gained a bit of midrange. I was happy with the results but some people have not been. My car has a maxogen and remap and I think its much better for it as I don't have to drop a gear so often or wring its neck to make good progress. It ads up to...

Thats a good review, thanks. My Trophy is very much an everyday car at the moment so I wouldn't want anything too snatchy. I guess I would prefer not to have a plate style diff. I know the Trophy is fantastic already but I don't like waiting until the wheels are straight before I can get on the...

Everybody calls them bulbs. Why argue. I think the lamp is the bit inside the glass bulb (the bulb is the shape). I changed the bulbs in mine for some of these... http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/product_detail.asp?prod=81

SharkyUK, I remember you guys fitted a diff to the Civic. How are you guys finding it day to day. Any adverse effects? At this time of year I often think it would complete the Trophy.

It might be worth trying some uprated 'bulbs' before going to the effort of changing the whole headlamp. It does make a difference.

He hasn't. His JDM Civic type R is far more focused than the Trophy as standard. Fantastic car :D

I'd love to try one - even on the road. This is an expensive experiment though!

The DS performance pads might be worth a try for purely road use. I also found the DS2500 can be a bit sketchy if you just want to get in and drive. They need some heat. Especially if you haven't had to use them in anger for a few drives ( in town). They can squeel a bit too. I replaced mine...

Yeah I had this problem. I took a picture of the part and got it from Renault. It was about £60 which seemed a bit steep. Easy to change yourself though.

Yeah, I think so.

THe soft version goes quiet at 90 but is still a bit boomy on the motorway. I imagine the yozza will be loud on the motorway too.

Me too recently. :(

Theo, what are you driving to get 15?

Rich, its not a diesel mate. Is the Orb really that loud :wink: I hope your enjoying it. Mine averages out at about 32 including lots of motorway miles plus some spirited country drives and a bit in town. More like 28 back in Dorset or 35 if I have the missus with me as she gets travel sick...

I allways thought the OZ Racing Superturismo GT in white would look good in a 16".

Or just get out and drive it :wink:

Great thread, and a bit of a bargain. :D I guess the shocks are just cleaned up, re-sealed and gassed. Apart from adding new adjusters if they are needed I wouldn't be too worried.

I think a subtle tint would look alright. There was one at the meet on Sunday. Why not!

Looks great. A good buy I'd say. :D

Coolant temperature sensor is either screwed or more likely it just has a bad connection. Very common. Careful as your fan wont come on in traffic as the car thinks its cold.

Different springs and dampers. The front dampers are very expensive but you might be able to pick up a set second hand. I think the non cupped 182 has different hubs. Probably more cost effective to buy a Trophy and it would hold its value better than a modded cup.

I'm not sure how bad mine was before but after having it done at Angelworks the car felt better, especially in the midrange. More difference than my Orb! I don't think it will do anything at idle.
