Hi All The Trophy is going cos the new baby is about 8 weeks away and i need 4 doors! Trophy no 319 of 500. 10000 miles. 6 months tax. 16" Speedline Turini alloy wheels with 205/45 tyres. 10mm reduced ride height at the front vs. Cup suspension. Stiffer springs as used on the Cup...

Have you sold the TT??? Damn I was waiting to sell you mine!!

I had a Vauxhall VX220 Turbo and a Mini Cooper S. Sold them both and got the Trophy. Best of both worlds!! :D

Hi jh106 I swapped my vx220 turbo (an elise with a Vauxhall badge as you know) for my Trophy and I haven't been disappointed at all. I did quite a few trackdays in the VXT and was hoping the Trophy wouldn't be a step back which im delighted to say it wasn't. The similarities in handling...

Hyb im loving your avatar. I know it's from a Jackie Chan film but I can't recall which one. Is it Mr Nice Guy? I hope so cos ive just ordered the dvd :lol: thanks Craig

or Kent :D

Any luck with the website David? Thanks

As I was warned......it's crap!!!! Less than ideal sound quality but the main problem is that, living in and around London, there are NO empty FM channels to tune it to!! Not wanting to change the head-unit I have decided to use the AUX input on the standard Clio radio already in the car...

Im checking that one out now!

Been checking out the Clifford Blackjax on the 'tinterweb and a lot of people are having problems with it. You have to put a pin number in everytime you start the car as well apparently!! The Jack-It one I gave the link to is about £350 fitted and doesn't need any codes etc. It works...

:lol: :lol: PMSL !!!!

The reason they are illegal is roughly that they work by transmitting radio signals and its illegal in this country to transmit radio signals without a broadcasting license. This is similar to the old days of CB radio when your dad would have this contraption set up in the living room and shout...

Im going to get one of these. They look fantastic. When the bastards steal the car, they drive half a mile and the car comes to a complete stop with all lights flashing and horn sounding. I can then waltz up to the car get in and drive away. http://www.vos.be/jack%2Dit/ Because they...

Call me stupid but after a week of owning the car I have failed to work out some things. 1- How do I display the mileage reset . What I mean is, I can see my total mileage but not the mileage that you reset when you fill with petrol. 2 - What is the little knob under the passenger mirror...

Hi Rob, welcome Having had an Impreza Turbo in the past I can tell you that you're in for a treat. As Nik says, the turbo shove isnt there but there's plenty of grunt as you get the revs up. The Trophy is probably about 300kgs lighter than the Scooby though which you will notice immediately...

Cool thanks very much 8)

That wasnt hard after all. www.autoleads.co.uk believe it or not. Shouldve guessed really :o They seem to just direct you to Halfords to buy the leads but I cant seem to find a mention of an ipod adapter anywhere. Any idea? Ta :o

Cool. Do Autoleads have a website or do u know the phone number? Thanks Steve

The pics are really misleading. its a really light tint but the light reflecting on it in the photos make it look like they are really dark. When you actually see it it looks quite light and not at all as dark as the pics. Im told the tints are 38% which means they let in 38% of the light. You...

Sorry about the wait but ive had a busy day!! Ok here we go. They are only very light tints but some of the pics look a lot darker than they actually are because of the light. My girlfriend who did the actual tinting is in the last pic cos I thought it only fair that she get credited for a job...

Mine had 12 on it when I picked it up. Just passed 100 today :P

ok just washed it. taking pics now. give us a minute!!

Anyone?

Good news everyone I had mine done today and it looks fantastic!! I'll get some pics up tomorrow so you can see. I keep looking out the window at it now :P

I'll find out in a few weeks when my contact at the track is back from wherever he has buggered off to for holiday.

Nik can you just run that by me again? I personally am more interested in having an ipod in the car. Are you saying that there is an aux input on the "standard" trophy stereo so i could do that? Thanks Craig

I let my girlfriend drive my car. Shes a fantastic driver and has a Integra Type R herself. She was all excited about the Trophy coming and, as I had yesterday with the car, has baggsied the whole of today to go out herself in it for a blast. Knocks about £100 off the insurance having...

When I had my vx220 not so long ago we used to do days there under instruction. Occasionally its possible to get on when either Top Gear arent filming or McLaren arent testing (McLaren own it and use it to develop bits for the SLR). It may be possible to do a 'Trophy' day if there's enough of us...

Well it all came off in the end after some elbow grease and assorted chemicals. Took it out for a hoon and loved it. Had a quick 'tangle' with a 172 who left me behind cos i didnt rev over 4500 but fun nonetheless. Bad day behind me and looking forward to some time on the top gear track soon.

Well I went to bed all excited last night about getting the car today only to find it pouring with rain when I woke up. Annoyed right away. Picked the car up to find that it has no petrol at all(as promised) because of the panic buying going on. Still annoyed but happy to at least have the...
