buckets

What do we make of something like a 27k mile gap and a 20k mile gap between services? I'd like to think it'll have a negligible effect in real terms given the engines are meant to be strong. I bought a 330Ci before that had over 30k miles between a service and it always ran sweetly at over 100k...

new to the forum and currently driving/selling my beloved mk5 golf gti edition 30 fully built by REVO to stage 2 334hp 341ftlb, I would post a link to my build thread but not if it doesn't comply with forum rules and I don't want to annoy the admin/mods just yet Cut a long story short me and...

Hi I've been looking for a trackday car,I fancy a clio 172 cup with a roll cage and nice suspension,looking at 2-3k cheers marc

Hello just got number 14. Very pleased with the car and the way it goes. It's my 1st decent fast 'new car' having always had classics. I'm 42 so not a real racer type. I think it will fit in well with some of the oldies own. Only poor areas for road driving in my opinion are: a bit of movement...

Hi all got a set if Catcams 428 cam shafts including perfect Dephaser and exhaust sprocket. Perfect condition, would recommend fitting these at the same time as a cambelt as it will be no additional cost! So if your due a cambelt soon this is the ideal modification. The spec for the 428 cams are...

Girlfriend saw it and said it had different seats, I'm guessing they were buckets? Anyone on here?

Hi, the seatbelts on my trophy are very grubby. More a brown colour than silver and don't look very nice. Is there anything recommended for cleaning these? I was going try something like cilit bang? Thanks.

Hi guys , I had thought that I would go for the Nitron Damper setup that K-Tec are developing for the Trophy but have read great things about AST. And I just wondered if anyone on here has them fitted and what they think ? Cheers Neil

Guy, Most T's have aftermarket filters, exhaust systems, braided lines & a few other bits as we all know. Now as standard im getting quotes of £600 which is fine, but declaring an air filter mod alone comes out at £900!!! Wtf!? I cannot find a standard T. What to do?

Drove my friends quite now heavily modified 172 which has buckets and sabelt wheel and harnesses - makes me think I want to do the same as I hate the driving position of the trophy. I was thinking of some mildly aggressive seats like the sabelt titans which are in the r26r. What's other people done

Currently umming & ahhing about buying an e46 M3 in the next 6 months, so may sell the Trophy at some point ... i have absolutely no idea whats its worth though due to the laughable mileage. FYI, i know whats its worth in bits, but not as a whole, so im just thinking in case someone wanted one...

After trying to buy one for years!! I finally managed to get my grubby mitts on an MSV cage, so I trundled off to Oxford services on Saturday morning, & came back with a shiny new toy. Reason for getting a bolt-in as opposed weld? Well, I wasn’t happy about having buckets, harnesses and no...

Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...

Has anyone managed to lower their drivers seat. It ok on the road but far too high on track, hmmmmm buckets time?

Ok, so i dont normally whore, but thanks to James (JMS) and Mike (FailSport) last night, the TroFail is now finished. I'm sure a few of you will have read my project thread, & i'll update that with more info than in here, but chuffed isnt the word, it drives brilliantly & looks ruddy lovely imho...

Well after fighting through the snow, Driving on a main motorway at 20mph and doing some scray back roads my lovley other half took me to pick my trophy up. Its now in tucked away at work in a secure carpark while the snow is here and is soon to be moved inside. Thise is the only 2 pics i got...

Guys how much are trophys going for? I've got 443 and thinking of selling it but not to sure what I'd get for it. It's got 51000 miles on the clock and in pretty good condition. Any help will be appreciated.

I know its not a Trophy but I just thought I'd post! (I have owned one and still love 'em) Anyway, This month my car is entered in Vertar's Car Of The Month competition. I would really appreciate your votes, a lot of time went into this car when I got it. The first detail took me approx 14...

Finally got round to get the paint properly corrected and treated a full Swissvax detail by a true pro. Just need to go and pick it up :lol: The car should now look better than when it was brand new: http://is.gd/d6aBf

I have two OMP bucket seats in my Trophy at the moment, but am considering going back to the standard recaros because I currently use my car mainly on the road. Would anyone be interested in swapping their recaros for my buckets? They are in very good condition and come with seat subframe...

I have a swiss trophy and the previous owner removed the standard recaros to fit bucket seats. I am now considering taking the buckets out and fitting the recaro seats again (the buckets won't pass the ultra stringent Swiss version of an MOT which is due soon). However, the Swiss edition came...

as above, followed you up sanforth in the flamer, only to realise the road was closed

I'm looking for interest on a potential second batch of these exhausts. It's the best fitted exhaust available for the 182 and sounds ace. Weighs around 6kg less than standard system. There are a few vids on you tube if you have a search. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...33374763237041...

Brought in the highly coveted group buy from GDI this winter and covered less than 4k miles since, this Maxogen is in as good as new condition. Supplied with instructions, all brackets, original boxes and wrapping and filter spray. £260 cash on collection £275 via paypal and including postage

I hate the cup rear bench and want something a bit nicer looking. I presume the 172 & 182 leather seats will fit straight in? Guess that as with most cars, the split/fold system has a bit that bolts to the car where the seats split, is there provision for all of this? Which seats match the...

My car is Capsicum BLACK at the moment and i'm feeling a little guilty about it after seeing all the sparkling trophies on the site. Can anybody recommend any decent detailers in and around south east London/Kent/Essex areas? Think i might get it sorted in the next few weeks!!! Cheers...

Here it is, had lots of people asking me across different forums asking if I had bought the new car yet so it now pleases me to officially announce my new purchase! Just a few pics taken tonight after a day at Rentech... Mods: H&R Coilovers, Carbon splitter, Prospeed Exhaust...

Had a really good day on sunday, special thanks to Nik for organising it all :D We thought the stand area look great with a 'sea' of red, good to meet and chat to some people throughout the day, rol lon the next meet/show 8) Only bad points i would say are that the tunnel getting across...

Ok, so how many people here have had/driven both the trophy and 172's and 182's? to those of you that have I was just wondering how much better you would say the handaling is on the trophys then other clio sports. Also how hard is the suspension as i have had a few ppl say that it is very...

I was very excited to read about the new Japanese Civic type R. Apart from a boring 4 door saloon body, the prospect of 225 PS, 8,400 rev limit, reasonable torque, Brembo 4 pot callipers, 18" lightweight rims, gear type LSD, proper independent rear suspension etc was very tempting. Still not a...
