I am planning on changing my rear discs and pads and am phoning round to get prices. Not really after anything uprated as I know there is little benefit and I like the fact the rear wheels are easier to clean. Are the original rear pads made by Bendix or some other manutfatuer? Anyone have a...

Are they any good in the corners compared to the T? I was all over him just pootling really and he was having a hard time going straight (was damp/wet). So much so I thought I would leave him to it.

Car's due up for a service & MOT which I will be doing within the next week or so. It's only done 22k so its just the usual 'A' service as per the guide on here. The thing is..my mpg for daily driving is between around 28 to 30...now reading some figures elsewhere,that seems a tad...

Short video of an evening trackday at a very wet Anglesey circuit. Little clio performed faultlesly again :D http://www.vholdr.com/node/45250

A weekend break to rural Norfolk proved too much for the Trophy: a massive pothole in the grassy car park of Holkham Hall saw my splitter, er, split into pieces. Gutted :( Guess I'll have to fork out the £120 for a replacement from K-Tec. I unscrewed it when I got back to where I was...

Dear All, After getting back from South Wales today, I would like to ask: what is the best technique for carrying speed into and out of a corner in a Trophy? I know all corners are different: different gears required, different braking points, different throttle pressure etc, but is there a...

I just got my car back from the dealer after the following work: -new gearbox -new clutch -new flywheel -new driveshafts -back to standard sachs dampers (original ones at the front, brand new at the rear) This little lot was the result of accidentally clocking 2nd rather than fourth from the...

Dealers seem to be heavily discounting the 200 CUP... Lookers Chelmsford have a new one with 1mile on the clock in blue, reduced from £15750 to £12,995. This might be of particular interest to you Rich :wink:

time may be up for #356 just recently got married and possibly 356 may now be a little to small for our needs. The wife has her heart set on me getting a 330CI or 330 convertible, cos it looks "posh", and i was thinking of going for a 230 R26. BUT....... the question I want to throw out there...

I am now the proud owner of a Trophy, picked it up yesterday and drove the 280 miles home with it and absolutely love it! theres a slight rattle coming from the bootlid, it is only slight but can you adjust the catch on them or not? does anyone elses do it?

I have now decided to give my little trophy a re-map and have looked through previous posts to gain some idea on what folks have done and where they have been,but alas its left me a little confused! I shall soon be booking in for a service down at rentech and was wondering whether to call into...

i was having a chat with some of the lads at work about cars and one of the new guys at work is getting picked up from his brother who has an evo vi tommi makinen in silver, i asked if he could take us out in it as i was thinking of getting one so me mate a work rang up his bro and asked for me...

Some years ago, Paddy married an attractive woman, Maggie, half his age, in a small coastal Irish community. After several months, Maggie complained that she had never climaxed during sex and according to her Grandmother all Irish women are entitled to a climax once in a while.. So, to resolve...

Saw what i thought to be a trophy while i was sat in the barbour's waiting for a mop chop on the corner of Christchurch Green row of shops in Reading. Not sure if i could see the trophy down the side skirts but definatley a 182 red if not. Looked a little dirty (No offense).

I had an amazing opportunity today! driving along in Windsor and i saw a Mclaren Merc SLR Stirling Moss, this one happen to be the first one of the production line and the one taken to Goodwood Festival of Speed this yeah........... yes that means it was the one Stirling Moss himself drove up...

I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

Bit of a random one this, but I fancied having a moan about the appalling quality of a lot of the driving on our roads. Sometimes it's so bad it actually scares me. I think my biggest pet hate, or one of them at least, is people who randomly brake for no reason. Not necessarily heavy braking...

Just looking into some new tyres. Was just going for a straight swap and fitting more Michelin Pilot 2's but availability is poor. Vredestein have been winning tyre tests for a few years so thought I would have a look. They do a Sportrac 3 in the correct size and V rating. I can get them fitted...

Hi all I have only had the Trophy a few weeks (1500 miles) but the PE2's on the front are in need of a change. I have tryed quite a few tyres in the past on my Ph1 172 but have never tryed R888's... so I thought I'd get a set and see how they do on a day to day basis through the summer. I have...

Hey guys, This weekend im going to Silverstone to watch 'time attack', you can also put your car on track for 15 mins for £35. Ive never done a track day before and dont wana chuck myself and the trophy in the deep end just yet, so thinking this would be a good little teaser for me. Its the...

hi, Been looking to get another car seeing as I have blown my car up at the minute. Now while I love my type R I can't really risk blowing it up again while doing track days. So had a look at swapping to a hot hatch. Looked at all the cars and decided it has to be the clio 182. Now what I...

Hi folks Just thought I'd say hello. I'm after getting a car and after my usual intensive research I've decided to make it my quest to get a 182 Trophy. I realise these things are pretty rare and probably only appear for sale as often as Haley's comet visits the solar system but I'll keep my...

what exactly is "corkscrewing" as mentioned by Harry T in this months Evo....?

1) I have calculated that, when taking the car for an MOT, the probability the brakes fail is 1/10, the headlights fail is 1/4 and the wipers fail is 1/5. But what's the probability only one of the parts fails? 2) Point P lies on the curve y = x2 - 6x - 16 where m = 0. What are the...

My girlfriend is about to purchase a new car, well, used but around the age of my Trophy. I have told her that she has to start looking after this one and it has surfaced the discussion regarding car care. My car was Permaguarded by duffer987 and for the last 2 and a bit years under my wing, I...

ive found some pics of the new clio sport 200 which hence the name gives you 3 bhp more than standard and looks well............ugly as hell!, thats my opinion. found out that the cup version will be 36kg lighter than the normal version too and the gearing for the first 3 gears is shortend again...

spotted you today at ten to five at lights next to broomside park, i was in a works car.
