Since purchasing my Trophy (413) 2 weeks ago i now feel it needs to good clean, polish etc inside and out also the engine bay. Wanted some advice on what products to are best? from my fellow trophy owners.

Picked a 2nd hand cup racer cage today, and seeing as though the original paint job was pretty poor, in fact really poor [-X i've dropped it off at the shot blasters to be stripped and then sprayed in grey primer. There was no point having it sprayed a colour as the rest of the interior needs...

I've had this problem a few times on my Trophy now: Sometimes when I drive it hard, and especially after hard braking, the throttle seems to stick - the revs will stay high even if I put the clutch in, and will even rise some times if I put the car in neutral. Also, I seem to be down on power...

Has anyone had problems with the paint on the trophy fading due to the sun, ?

I noticed my top mounts are not sitting right today. They were fine when I removed the Solid Top mounts a while back and since then I have had a camber adjustment, maybe this has caused it ? They are fully tightened ! Note: They do not even touch the Turrent !!! :shock: Any ideas...? ...

If you buy this mag, you'll soon read that Harry's T has had re-furbed front shocks. Seems the front as "corkscrewing". One had lost it's gas the other had a slight oil leak. His cars only done 16000 miles. Am guessing a lot of those were hard miles?!
