Ive just had a reply from Ben about the exhaust they are develooping and this is what he had to say:-
Hello Michael,
The exhaust is indeed something that is very special, however the custom
components are expensive and rather fancy.
Cost will be in the region of £1000-£1200, yet it...
Hi guys/gals
Looking at getting myself a group N ecu fitted as i have just got a milltek + performance filter want to get the Group N to bring it all together to get a nice little gain will also have the inlet matched too in time.
Just wanted to see if anyone can shed some light and tell...

Hi Guys
I'm going down to France later this year, so I thought I'd ask Orbisoud how much one of their exhausts costs to collect from the factory gates. This is their reply;
hello,
price line complete racing : 1006 euros ht.
soft : 1087 euros ht.
best...
(finally) Picked up No250 today and drove it home the long way from Essex to Surrey, avoided the M25 as much as possible, and then spent the whole night grinning, much to the wifes concern. Keep looking out the window wandering when I can next go for a long drive......to think I nearly bought a...
My first Trophy spot in 4 months of ownership! :shock:
You were probably wondering why I was going so slow - I was playing fuel light bingo :lol:
The way you undertook that 3 Series was classic - it was so obvious he wasn't going to get out of your way.
So are we being stiffed for another £10 or £15 a year to drive on shit roads?
I'm reading and getting conflicting information!
That's in addition to the increase in petrol taxes. :evil: :evil: :evil:
As my gas monitor warning light was continuisly on i put the trophy into the local renault dealer, they said that it was missfiring, they replaced the spark plugs at £140 and told me the reason for the missfiring was caused due to not using optimax or such petrols all the time! they said if i...
After much debate over what car to get I finally decided on the golf. Picked it up last Wednesday and loving it so far. The power is awesome and the noise is special.
Trophy was a close second but the golf managed to win :)
Little sunlight to show any cleaning done but for those...
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...
arrghhh so annoyed it's listed on ebay - never though that when I sold it last month it would end up there. :evil:
Also they could have took out my number plate
Ebay item number 270095389194
:(
when are these cars supposed to be out??
I saw a black one this morning whilst walking into work. It had either a demo plate or a foreign plate on it, couldn't really tell.
Looked nice, fairly aggressive but a bit too futuristic for my liking...very Astra VXR sort of look to it. Had 2 huge...
Just got the replacement for the Trophy yesterday. 20k miles on the clock and paid £14,750 from a trader completely factory standard. I feel guilty for saying it but it's better than the Trophy in every aspect in my opinion:
The clutch pedal is harder, the brake pedal is harder and has...
Hi,
Next month I think im getting a bit of a bonus from work so have decided to get an orbisoud exhaust as it is the best you can get for the trophy. Just wondering whether people think that it would be worth a 600 mile round trip just to get it fitted? Or whether getting it posted (not sure...
Well today after about 8 month of the de-cat being fitted the emission light came on.
I was travelling back from Chesterfield and could only find 95 ron fuel. I only put a £5 in to get me to the next garage and then the emission light comes on - do you think its connected????
What are...
It's a feature of the Trophy that's often forgotten, correct me if I'm wrong but it is unique to the Trophy right? Or was it an optional extra on the late FF 182's?
Anyway, does anyone still use theirs? I used to use it a lot when I first got the car to keep my license but I don't think I've...
Firstly as a new member to the forum i'd like to say hi to everybody.

I'm 19 years old living in nottinghamshire, and have loved clios for years. I own a 2004 1.4 dynamique in black, which has been my pride and joy for about a year and a half. Even though I havent...
my trophy has started to sort of jerk wen i put my foot down but its not like a wrong gear its more of a stop start jerk like its not fireing properly. A orange light keeps on flashing at me sometimes when this happens. its the exhaust gas monitor light or something? been told it could be water...
...what would you be driving?
172 Cup?
182 Cup?

230/255 V6?
Elise?
Golf GTI?
Mini Cooper S Works?
Or what are you driving instead, and why not a Trophy?
Got a bit carried away today :shock:
My exhaust (standard 'high quality' item) is making strange noises again.. So I concluded something had to be done! Then concluded whilst I am at it makes sense to do something on the induction and ECU side.
ITG panel filter and KTR grp N ECU choices...
http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evospyshots/2 ... us_rs.html
...and I want one already. Yes, too heavy, forced induction, blah blah blah but it's going to have over 300bhp and weigh less than an EVO X, it will rock. I feel sorry for all those poor sods in their ST's with Wolf and GGR kits...
Around 7.30 this morning (still dark) I was driving along merrily at 40-45mph when suddenly my front, right tire hit something huge. It felt like it went over an open man-hole or a very deep ditch but when I reversed to check what it was it turned out to be a bl**dy brick lying in the middle of...
Is there any reason not to replace the standard filter with an after market panel filter?
I've read that induction kits are pointless unless you have a re-map, which i'm not going to do. So is it ok to pop a new panel in, is there any point, what difference will it make?

Anyway, I was wondering, I shall...
We have discussed before about what fuels work best with the Trophy and I mentioned in another thread that I was going to do my own mini survey! So here it is - in all its succinct glory! :lol:
I've always sworn by Optimax (superceded by V-Power as we know) so have used that primarilly with...
I have been thinking about chucking the trophy in for something more fun, getting a bit bored. Im mainly looking at the bargain monaro vxr's that have just come on the market maybe even a 500 version but im a bit worried i may wish i hadnt bothered. Want something with a bit more grunt and a...
