@James__H I'm actually looking to sell my collection of Trophy related magazines. I have 18 in total, mostly Evo magazine, couple of Autocar issues and a few other publications. I'll post the full list and some pictures later if you'd be interested in buying.

“What comes after a Trophy” is a question I’ve been asking myself on and off. I owned my Trophy and S2000 side by side, for me the former rather exposed the latter in terms of steering feel and driving enjoyment. Without having experience of either brand, I can’t imagine there are many cars...

Spotted yesterday afternoon at Caffeine & Machine. I was there to watch Monaco F1 qualifying and see what else turned up!

The Trophy has won previous votes on Pistonheads, so I'd say its probably the favourite for top spot. I put my vote in for it and the other one on the list which I've owned - the Civic Type R (EP3). Best handling and best engine in hot hatches respectively, IMO...

Can't say I've ever tried them myself, but I believe the FK8 Civic Type R OEM tyre was from Continental, so by no means a bad brand. I believe the Michelin PS4S or PS5's of comparable age are talked of as being the best performing tyres, but given the age gap between PS3's and PC6's, I wouldn't...

Thanks for the heads up. Another issue of evo to add to the collection 🤣

Any progress on this issue @Patrick Bateman? Mine also seems to have developed a similar issue, low rpm (~2k rpm) misfire on cylinder 2, stutters on acceleration in gear, but as far as I can tell it only happens from cold start and disappears when warmed up. Would be great if I can pinpoint an...

WOW. I’m shocked that the Trophy made more than R26.R #001 - with no disrespect to the Clio, it’s not as special in my mind as one of those would be. As above, Harris’ short but glowing segment in that video no doubt helped the sale.

I do appreciate the time and effort that RsMax will have put into organising this, but I’ll be the first to admit I can’t really justify £400ish on a pair of rear dampers which my car doesn’t need right now, having just spent that on new tyres. The general consensus from previous threads I’ve...

Do you know if there is a generic name or colour code for the best powder coat colour match Nick? I’m looking to get mine done and then fit the new PS3s which are on their way…

In a couple of months when the weather improves and people are looking for a summer toy is probably the best time to sell. But lots to consider... Trophy - How many miles/owners does it have? Full service history and condition? Sachs etc still present? (biggest impact on its value) - Would you...

I've reported the user profile and hit 'Ignore'. At least that way your 'recent posts' menu on the right will only show actual threads that have been updated recently.

Are these what you're looking for? Thread

Also interested, depending on cost... 12. mhj360 (Matthew Jones) - x1 set

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. The photos make it look to be in better (less rusty) condition under bonnet than the 55k miles one that sold for around £12k after fees on CC recently. I guesstimated at 15-20k as it has the low mileage and owner count which makes it as desirable on paper as the...

I commented on the link in the Facebook group and suggested it would go for anywhere between 15-20k, judging by recent sales on CC. As is the way with ‘collectors cars’ nowadays, if it were to sell at the higher end of that estimate, it’ll likely just become an ornament in somebody’s garage once...

There's money to be made on this car for someone, depending on what it goes for. It doesn't even appear to need *that* much doing, providing there's no rot and the Sachs aren't beyond refurbishment.

Don’t know about wet performance or how it compares generally to the AD08RS, but the Nankang NS-2R is a slightly more road-biased track tyre than the AR1. Pretty affordable as well - currently can get 10% off here this month as well with code 200CLUB (I’m not affiliated with the above store in...

Me too. Don't need any at this exact moment in time, but bought as spares for whenever the Sachs refurb is needed down the line.

Thanks for the info on the wheels Ashtons. Just checked the refurbished Turini alloy I bought recently and it doesn't have the additional casting marks you mention, so must have been an original.

"Find another one..."

Does that reduction in width even grant you any greater choice? Looking on blackcircles for reference, the only different tyre I see that isn't presented for 205 is the Continental Sport Contact 3. Not sure that is a better option than any of the other choices available in the correct size...

Michelin PS3 are arguably the tyre of choice for all-round road use, but are NLA as @Chewywms says. Michelin are now producing the Pilot Exalto PE2 again which was OE fitment on the Trophy I believe. Annoyingly, they aren't available in 205/45R16. Hopefully this may yet change if the production...

Have to agree having seen the under bonnet photos. Would love to know how optimistic the reserve price is...

Hi all, I'm looking to replace the hard brake lines which run across the rear beam as my O/S/R pipe is starting to show corrosion. I've found that there are a few companies which make braided lines to upgrade whilst replacing: BRT Motorsport -...

Thanks @where.is.lee! If I'm being a pedant, it's technically an AP1 facelift :ROFLMAO: AP2 was the designation for the facelift model in the USA which got the larger F22C1 engine. Lovely looking Porsche! The 997 is a real sweet spot I think.

I was bored, so made one... Check your PMs (y)

Cheers! The reputation for spiky handling is well earned (speaking from experience!) The steering is an early example of EPAS, so doesn’t give a great deal of feedback. Tyre technology has moved on a long way from the OE Bridgestones too. Most owners in the S2KOC will tell you that fitting a...

Loving your work frayz. I don't suppose you have or can recall a part number for these blanks to fit the rear tailgate? That or the OEM plastic 'stoppers', as mine have all but disappeared...
