Following on from some other topics and comments regarding Sachs and rebuilds, has anyone changed the Sachs for something else, if so what are the options? I know the Sachs are the selling point of the Trophy, but as there is a lack of new stock and the refurbs do not seem to last I am...

This was part of a stunning exhaust build for BB performance a few years back. The welds and workmanship is superb, I have the silenced de-cat left from the system which Stevo.C bought for his trophy. This will obviously improve flow through your exhaust system whilst not bursting your ear...

Help me decide. I'm tempted to decat my ProSpeed system then get a decent remap to make the car a little more 'driveable' lower down the rev range. A few decat questions: * Has anyone tried a decat but reverted back to standard? If so, why? * Come MOT-time the cat will have to go back on to...

Just a quick one........ Had 2 182's in the past and like the look of the xenons. Looking to buy a trophy in the next couple of days and wondered if xenons can be fitted. From what I read, to pass the MOT you need the washers too, can this be fitted aftermarket too? If anyone has...

Hi guys, well after signing up as member 3 years ago with the intention of buying i finally picked up a Trophy on Monday....got there in the end!:D Now the confusion.... I have been looking at old posts about the Sachs suspesion for the last few days now but still have some questions that i am...

Hi all was wondering if anyone out there has an aftermarket exhaust for sale. My standard one rotted through so thought it would be time for another. Cheers Rich

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...

Looking to spend a little money on the Trophy now as the steering (since the 'tracking was done at Kwik Fit) has got progressively more loose/wobbly over the past few weeks - im thinking they buggered something up with too much heat? Front Sachs seem fine and have only done 15k since they were...

I re-discovered Evo magazine’s raison d’être last weekend – the thrill of driving. I bought my Trophy (#23/500) in early December. Its one previous owner had serviced it regularly but in most other respects it needed a dose of TLC including: refurbished front dampers; new exhaust; rear...

Anyone tried these tyres on a 182 yet? I know they are (or similar) factory fit on 172s/200s. Front PS3s will need replaced soon and i might try em.

Hi all, Was thinking about buying a different car but now considering refreshing the Trophy and 205. Sachs damper refurb, tyres, brakes, remap and rs192 exhaust for the T. This month's Evo features a Pug1off 205 Gti which looks amazing. 195bhp 6 speed with brakes, suspension etc would cost...

Guys, I need your help on where to get a new coil spring for my Trophy as it has collapsed. The MOT was last week and it failed and trying to find a coil spring is like trying to find a DoDo!! Where can I get one? A standard one will be fine just now until I look for coilovers. Any help...

I've looked at 2 Trophy's now and both had fairly worn seats, they had kept their shape but the base section was fairly shiny on both and had lost the suede. I know they are not hard wearing seats as I had the same one's in my Evo 6. Just wondered if this is the norm? Cheers.

Looks like a bargain but the seats are looking a bit shiny and having had an Evo 6 with the seats, Shiny = High Miles.. Anyone viewed or know it? Thanks...

Brand new rubber seal that fits on the slam panel the bonnet seal ,you know the one that is usually split or dropping to bits or sticks to your bonnet when you open it Not oem but better fit and a better seal than the crappy std one. this part is £24+ from reno . £10 each inc first class rec...

I met Harry Metcalf at an evo track evening last year and he asked me why I had not thought about a newer car, implying that the new models are better. Any way with this thought in mind I went and test drove a Clio 200 on a cup chassis the other day. My thoughts, new car is bigger, much more...

Just thought I would do an update from a myself, a new owner member of a trophy re 131. Picked T up from Wales last Wednesday , first to see did buy! Great price but as always there is a snag, not deliberate by the seller more like the things to do when you get a second hand performance car! On...

Well what a bloody find. Please read carefully and then read at the bottom of the pictures !! It states in the letter that this is a one off but dont worry as im on teh case to get a pile of stickers for a few people as even on the phone a RUK manager has told me that...

Low mileage Trophy wanted! I've missed 2 now! I would really like one between 30k to 45K miles must be imaculate and from a good home! . Cash waiting for the right car. Please PM me if you are thinking of selling. Many thanks Pete

So within the next few weeks the Trophy will have reached the point where it needs 4 new tyres, after trawling through a few of the posts on here i can't seem to get anywhere... Has anyone had experience with running other brands of tyre on their Trophy? if so any recommendations? If not and i...

Does anyone have any contacts at Michelin? Preferably in product development, manufacturing or supply chain. Customer services or marketing better avoided. Looking at Michelin's current UK range the Pilot Exalto PE2 (for the Sports and Roadster segment so they say) is still available in...

There must be a few ?

This is simply the very best there is! The quality, workmanship and the design are second to none! Very lightweight and compact system. This is the perfect exhaust system for the Trophy. It's in excellent condition. I've got under the car and cleaned in every now and then since owning it...

Hi everyone, Sorry to say my period of Trophy ownership has come to an end, as someone at the more senior end of the age spectrum I decided to get something more fitting to my pipe and slippers image - Saab 9-3 Aero, full power turbo, full leather interior, full service history etc. etc...
