Just let my mate drive the trophy tonight, he drives a Corolla TSport which i have drove and is just as quick as the Trophy, actually when i was driving his TSport i had a tussle with a 197 and i was pulling towards it at the top of the revs in 2nd and 3rd gear. Thsi doesnt happen with the...

Not even one year since I sold it and do I miss it.........HELL YEAH! I currently drive a Honda S2000 which is a totally awesome car. It is an awesome car like the Trophy but in a totally different way. The way the S2000 accelerates is great, noises are great and in this weather, roof down...

I've been told that it's reasonable to swap the front set of wheels for the back set of wheels in the interest of 'cough' preserving consistent tyre wear. While I appreciate this is potentially a pikey way to go on tyres, it may make some sense as it means you can manage to have 4 newtyres...

Ive been in contact with Henk from fastchips and asked the question do other re-maps, k-tec etc, peform better than his, he recons they dont produce as much as stated on the box. He told to me to get one and upload it using the RS Pro to see the difference. My question is does anyone have any...

Did anyone watch it??? At the end of the tunnels when she is sitting in the ultima, (I think), run she was talking to the camera and there was a Trophy parked behind her. Anyone on here want 2 own up? Think i might do it next year... It was from about 2 years ago like..

First phase of fixing my car after the pot hole:- Next new wheels and four wheel alignment... Flat tyre, sad, not having my car for 2 days and having to drive my dads 1.6 astra cd was a real eye opener as to just how quick our cars are, from a sign i always put my foot down at to a sign...

Coming home from work tonight i was doing about 20 in 3rd, let off the throttle (expecting to slow down due to engine breaking) but just kept going! so I knocked it out of gear and the engine was revving at a constant 2000revs. Little dap on the throttle and the engine started 'coughing' until...

Couldn't find anything about this on the forum, but I'd be interested in buying professional quality photos and/or medium size posters of a Trophy. Does anyone here do these or can anyone point me in the right direction? Might even consider paying a professional to 'do' my own...

Hi all, I have always upgraded brakes on my cars, as I think that it improves the car is so many ways for swift b road trips and track days and I have always been disappointed in the Trophy’s braking performance, but other people seem the be fairly pleased with them as a standard...

According to a brief article on the Whatcar website this is due to be launched soon. 205 bhp - excess weight stripped out - different suspension - undergoing SVA at present. Sounds very exciting until one reads the price; an estimated £27,000. Has anyone seen any more details?

Ok this is quite interesting (i think anyway) So what is my dream next car? And what's yours? I'm not talking supercars, but in the real world what are you thinking of getting next.

Had a private plate (i think was a girls name) i've forgotten now Strange to see another one parked up ...M18 KLA or something along those lines

When Clarkson was putting the old CTR on the track against the new one. Wasn't too surprised that the old one trounced it, because when I had a quick look at one the other day, it looked a bit podgy. I wonder how the Trophy would compare in comparison. Would be fairly interesting to see as...

Hi y'all, Well some of you might have been following my progression with the Orbi removal, for those of you who are not sure why I made this ludicrous move its mainly due to: 1) The system is the race one and therefore very "in your face" 2) Missus bugging the hell outta me to remove it...
