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...
I say Alpina Roadster 3.4 Lux, you say.....???
:)
Just wondering people's thoughts of a Z4 Alpina. I have recently come to research a bit about them and they seem like a fantastic car. However I am aware some people wouldn't be seen dead in one... is that the case here too?
Two...
I have a customer who has virtually every edition of EVO but missing this one #57 with a V6 255 test evidently. Can anyone scan amd post online? (A bit like Hyb did with the Trophy reviews). Cheers, Steve.
ps: He wants a LHD one, so just in case you happen to notice one for sale ;)
Found this on my hard drive, never eally looked at it before but it's got some interesting figures, namely;
1075kg kerb weight. I always thought it was 1090kg.
182 hp DIN. As I've always said, not 182 PS as Evo (and everyone else) claim.
Making it 173bhp/ton. That's better than the 172...
Just bought this car last Fri (20/04/07) from Andy up in Inverness. Took me over 8hrs to get home but had the best fun driving this car on some of the Highland roads. Still grinning now :lol:
Not sure if this deserves a whole post but it all i have been dreaming about all day at work.
Someone at work has just bought a Subaru impreza Richard Burns Special.
And god does it look amazing :lol:

Well, at 39 weeks pregnant I can not bury my head in the sand any longer. My wife and I are having a baby and that is all there is to it. The Trophy has got to go.
Check out the advert (with pics) on Piston Heads - http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/158500.htm
:cry:
Has anybody here changed to an R26 from the trophy? what do you think? made the right decision? i dont want to regret it :(
R26 test drive was good but you never can be too sure. Also, im looking to sell my Trophy so if anyone is looking and is in the Mid beds area let me know. It has 14k on...
Hello all,
I'm David and I'm thinking of getting a Clio Trophy. :) I currently drive an Audi TT Quattro Sport (that I've only owned for six weeks!) and before that I had a Ford Focus RS. I keep reading about how great the Trophy is and it's gradually drawing me in. I suspect I could have a...

Got this eMail from Evo:
Firstly, a big thank you to all of you who responded to my request last
time for information on how you use the internet when finding out about
new cars. Your replies indicated that while a small percentage of you
regularly use the interweb for this purpose, the...

Sponsored by Honda (hence the new CTR making the cut!) but great all the same, my first two cars are in it and in the right colours. Two other cars I'd love to own too, DC2 and Integrale.
Bits to laugh at;
Flawed dynamics of the 205...
to cut a long story short, Matt very kindly came round my house today to help me (i say help, he did pretty uch all of it :lol: ) take the legendary pins out of my suspension.
Hit 1 or 2 problems but all is well now and I have been on a 45 minute country road drive on 24 a side and the...
Had a little free time last weekend following fitting my silvervision indicators.. So as the sun began to set, I grabbed my 350d and headed for the only high point that I could think of locally... View turned out not to be as good as I had thought and the sunset was a let down but here are the...
Evo descrivbe the Trophy as 'the most fun you can have on 3 wheels' but my question is how do you get it on 3 wheels?
Is it something that you should be able to do everyday or do you have to really push the car so much that you're very unlikely to achieve it safely on the road?
Can you...
Anyone know any info on this car please ?
Its at my local renault dealer (ware garages) and looks like a good example. 1 owner, 20k miles and left totally standard. Its advertised for 12k which seems a bit high but they are offering a good trade-in price on my current 1.2, which is swaying me...
Anyone considered/had a service done in France? Would it be cheaper? I`m pretty sure warranty wouldn`t be affected if a Renault dealer was used. Only asking as a service is due and I`m off to France at Easter. Cheers, Ian.
This weekend was my first really sunny weekend in the trophy and boy was it fun.
Sunday I went on 3 random trips to nowhere in particular and im still so in love with my little car.
Took the old lady out as well(1.8 16v) and they are both amazingly fun but now when i drive the old lady...
After subscribing to Evo for the past few years and having every issue bar 1,2,3 & 5 I have now stopped subscribing. I felt that it had become too much like a 'coffee table' magazine. Too much high end stuff and I felt that they had become too obsessed with their style of writing and...
Next months EVO is testing new Corsa VXR,197, MINI, Ibiza Cupra...and Clio Trophy On Europes greatest roads.
