Absolutely gutted! After 7.5 years and 80k miles, I've had a coming together with a very solid old stone wall, and come off second best. Stuffed the NSF into the wall, no metal panel damage, airbags didn't go off, but the assessor stopped counting the damage at £3.5k without getting stuck into...
Looking to sell my BTB cat back exhaust (with modified Renault cat). The exhaust is a lovely piece of kit, but just too loud for me. It's been on my Trophy since May last year, I've done about 8k miles with it fitted and it is in excellent condition. I will take some photos of the actual exhaust...
My Trophy's exhaust back boxes are finally on their last legs and so the selection of an aftermarket cat back system begins...
So the initial search led me to the KTR Ultra performance system, which has a 2.5 inch bore from cat back. A bit more research led me to the understanding that the...
Ok so there is only a paragraph on the Trophy in the new Evo magazine so probably not worth buying if you're not a regular reader, but they list 6 giant killing road cars which the Trophy tops with a closing comment of "It's our ultimate giant-killer"
It's a good day to be a Trophy owner!
No not in LA but the tough streets of Surrey...
First Trophy spot I've had for a long, long time now, seem to see less of them on the roads these days. You were approaching the roundabout at the end of the B3000 from Compton as I was crossing the roundabout from Godalming. Would have flashed my...
First off, apologies for not being an active forum memebr for quite some time...
So I took my Trophy in for it's 36k mile service last week, and had a call from the garage to advise me that I had an oil leak from the cam cover seal and that it did not make any sense to change the aux belt as it...
Done a search and I think I may be the first one to report on this!
My Trophy has developed a loud creaking from the rear of the car over the past couple of months, I thought it could have been the interior trim in the boot, or the boot lock and rubber stops, but i've tried replicating the...
Evening all! :)
Well it's been a whle since my last post..but it feels good to be back trawling the boards!
Number 351 is now sporting a lovely set of Yoko Parada's (perfectly in time for winter! :roll: ) and although they've only been on for 500 miles, initial impressions are good...
Spotted another Trophy in Woking this morning, under the railway bridge on the main road (A320). They were heading towards Guildford, I managed a wave, but I don't think they saw me, or more likely they just ignored me! :cry: :lol: :wink:
Well after convincing myself not to take a gamble and get a set of Yoko Parada's, I'm now on the hunt for 4 new Michelin PE2's...only problem is Mytres want £322 and Blackcircles £320.92, so roughly £80 a tyre before fitting!
Anyone got any suggestions for where I can get my PE2's...
Saw a Trophy drive past my house at around 6pm yesterday, thought someone had nicked mine, but then I remembered I had taken the brave pills and let the ex take mine as her car is in the shop! :lol:
No, not thinking of selling mine...but searched on Autotrader over the weekend, and there are 8 Trophy's for sale this week, what gives? :?
I can't think of a worse time to get rid, spring brings the sun, grippy tarmac and dry night time driving, perfect Trophy conditions!
Just type in your command and away you go - hours of fun at work! :wink:

Post your best commands, and later I'll post some of the better ones we found at work today...
Spotted a Trophy in the Esso petrol station on Friday night/Saturday morning at 1:30. Was in the girlfriends Williams on a late night munchies mission!
Was going to ask about number etc, and say that I have 351 at home, but I am never sure what the reaction will be so I wimped out! :lol:
Great vid just published on the Evo website - the R26 looks like a serious bit of kit, resists understeer so much more than the Golf - http://www.evo.co.uk/videos/trackdayvid ... sport.html
Classic video featuring on board footage from the Nurburgring. The music and commentary on this video is something else! :D

Not sure if this has been posted before, but Evo have some great videos on their website, including stuff from this years car of the year, the Megane R26 video is especially worth a look, as is the Ferrari 599 chasing the 550 through Tuscany, amazing driving. :D

Hope you have all had a very merry christmas! :D
Just wondering if anyone else got any Trophy related presents? My missus got me a print from Evo, the cover shot of the Trophy and the M6, issue 83 "Giant Killer!" - well chuffed! \:D/
Enjoy your hols folks!
I know the complete kit has been on their website for a while, but K-Tec have added pics and descriptions of nearly all of the parts they use in their turbo conversion. Interesting reading.

Evening all!
Been on holiday in the States for a fortnight, and I've only just had time to sit down and go through all the posts since I went away - You lot have been busy! :lol:
Just got to quickly say how much I love my Trophy! As soon as I got home, I made my excuses to the missus...
After some advice on behalf of a friend who got charged with drink driving last night.
Has anyone on here ever been in this situation or know of anyone who has? If so what was the outcome?
He knows he has messed up, and fully accpets that he should not have been out driving. He's never...
Following on for the recent insurance thread, I was with Bell Direct last year, and paid £686, I search around for the best quote each year and at the time this was the cheapest quote.
They sent me my renewal premium for this year and it had gone up to £720! So I did a bit of searching...
A few photos from Renaultsport of my Trophy on track, and a nice little sequence I found on another website, but I don't know who took them so I can't give any credit...
Managed to get some good multi Trophy on track videos - here's me trying to catch up with chiefbadger, carnut and another unknown Trophy.
http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?doc ... 2&hl=en-GB
More footage to come :D
The video is not that great quality, despite the fact that the file I...
Got a puncture repair in one of my tyres, and I am not sure whether or not to trust the repair on track? The tyre place that fitted said that they are rated to 220mph and it should therefore be fine on track, but I'm worried that the increased heat and pressure and the increased movement in the...
As per the subject, anyone got one for sale? Must be original Trophy size 205/45/16, any mileage and wear considered as I only need it for a trackday - cash waiting and I will collect.
Cheers! :D
Helped my mate change his oil on his Teggy Type R recently, and we could not find anywhere decent under the car to jack up from, so using a trolley jack, we jacked up using the jacking points, and everything went fine.
So I decided to use the same method on the Trophy (despite having used...
