Driving out of town on Saturday towards the racecourse around 18:30ish

Hi everyone. Me and the other half sat in both of these at the Berkshire show yesterday and really liked them, especially the BRZ. We'd like to test drive them both but they're £27,000. Basically either a house deposit or the car! We've been wondering if it's morally right to test drive them...

Hi everyone, I am new to Trophy forum. I recently purchased number 229 and there is a loud vibration which occurs specifically between about 4800 and 5300 rpm which really ruins the driving experience. Does anyone have any ideas what this might be? My only thought is maybe the exhaust fouling...

Number 17 is up for sale now through a dealer and looks as though it's been well maintained. Paintshield to the front. However in the registered just says RIP as a mark of respect? :( http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4227361.htm

Hello all, I'm a new user and I am looking to buy a Trophy. I'd like your thoughts on number 45; http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4167864.htm I realise it is advertised at a high price but Trophies do seem to variably priced and as this is a low mileage example, I thought this may be...

Last weekend was my two year anniversary of owning the little French S1tbox, so thought id celebrate the event by giving it a well deserved clean over the weekend!! Method for the geeks: Pressure wash, AG shampoo & wash mit, bucket with grit guards, followed by half a bottle of of Iron-X. I...

Had the Trophy for a few weeks now, but haven't shown it off yet so I thought I may as well start a thread! I had a 106 Rallye that was one of the best condition S2s around, so getting rid of it was quite emotional! I'd grown really attached to its no-nonsense approach to delivering its drive...

Can somebody please report back on the following: Driving straight ahead at 60+ MPH using small movements of the wheel around the centre is there much "feel/feedback"? I have had lots of work done on curing a wandering/tramlining problem which is now sorted and the handling/steering feel is now...

Hi, I am doing my first track day oct 14th at angelsey (anyone coming?) I plan on changing my brake fluid and wondered what people used and recommend?! Also,would braded lines be a worthy upgrade or are they already braded on the Trophy? I have red stuff pads at present and grooved discs that...

My trophy has developed a strange leak. When it rains i end up with water under the back seats (even when parked). As far as i can tell the water comes out of the passenger side rear seat belt bolt. After doing some careful hosing i don't think the water is coming through the back windows, which...

My Trophy is coming up for its annual service plus I have a new RS192 exhaust to be fitted. I would also like to get all the geo and tracking checked can anyone recommened someone to use ? I live in Surrey. Many thanks

Hi, my trophys on 31k and had the front dampers refurbished a few months ago by bg motorsport. The car is on mark fish springs with koni rear dampers. Ever since i got the dampers refurbished the springs creak "as if ur hearing them compress" when braking hard and then when u let off the...

Well few weeks back decided to sell me old 197 to free up some cash an buy myself another cheaper but still fun car. The main reason is due to me moving out with the missus but I still wanted something nippy an after hours of browsing various classifieds I settled on a ph2 sport as it ticked...

I have only owned #372 for a few weeks now,loving it! The revs at idle are quite irregular,they aren't climbing,just sort of popping up and down. It's probably nothing,but was just wondering wether this is normal or it may be due to the cat being removed? Should it really be remapped if...

So, with the Trophy now being the only car in our household, thus enjoying the odd long journey, I’m somewhat struggling with the drone from the Orbisoud exhaust at motorway speeds… It was never previously an issue because the car was only used at weekends, but during a recent trip to Oxford...

Hello there! I'm Josh and I'm 22 from Essex. I'm currently driving a mk1 Focus RS, but due to buying a house, I'm looking for something slightly cheaper to run, but still fun! I was considering a Clio 197, but I've seen a lot of people saying about the shocking mpg from them. Anyway, I...

Interested to know how many low mileage cars are left out there. Saw Asim's on here (25k) in the for sale section, just wondering how many more there are! and what current guise they are in (100% standard, lightly modded, highly modded?) Seem to be a very rare breed, I keep an eye on the for...

Guys, General thoughts on tyres. I noticed the other day my rear tyres are seriously cracked, I think they look like the orginal PE2. They still have plenty of tread on them, but doubt very much they will pass the MOT in June ? I know there is a sticky on tyre choice on here. Getting hold of...
