gear

What mpg do you guys get from your trophys? My brother gets 30 on average around town but i get 26? But we do the same driving? Im thinking there might be something wrong with mine.

Does your trophy 'rock' at the traffic lights?? Also when changing gear my wedding ring vibrates on gear knob between first & second.

It'd been 20 odd days since my last outing in the trophy due to being busy and the rubbish weather we've been having. However my power steering pump failed on my daily driver (206) so i've been "forced" to drive the trophy. I woke up excited to drive it and got to work with a grin on my face...

I don't want to spoil this for anyone who hasn't got issue 99 yet, but the Renault 230 Megane Renaultsport F1 Alonso Special 2nd Win Team is shaping up very well indeed. If I was looking for a large hatch this would be my choice, even over a Focus RS. I fucking hate the stickers though, as do...

Bah, Humbug! First day I get to drive the Trophy in a week, girlfriend at a Christening, Sunday morning and it's a fooking monsoon out there! Instead I'm stuck indoors on the blinking internet. I'm emmigrating and taking XOG with me.

Beginning to get used to the power/speed of my trophy now and not far off paying it off in full, fancy an upgrade, i love the handling but would like at bit more power at the top end. Having looked at k-tech site and Yozzasport quite like the look of a throttle body/ turbo conversion, pref...

I'm too lazy to search through the archives - is there a quick answer to the right brake pacakge for the front of the Trophy?, I will probably only do 2 or 3 trackdays a year. Thanks!

http://www.petitiononline.com/tg100/petition.html Please sign the petition to keep the only good show on television. If the Beeb axe it, they'll never receive another penny from me ever again. Actually, they never have but it's the principle that counts.

Since the other thread has been taken over for banter, I'm looking for low mileage pref. one or two owner Trophys that have not had a bang or been trackdayed. it's a lot to ask I know. Still on the hunt for a low kms LHD car (or two) if you ever see one advertised. Finance settled in an...

...on my stocklist for a clean low mileage, pref. not trackdayed Clio Trophy (yes I know that's becoming more unlikely!) Contact me before you part-exchange. Payment by Bank Draft and finance cleared in a mutually acceptable manner. http://www.allvehicles.co.uk/contact.htm

..... Evo has converted someone - in the letters section. All veh - you may want to be on your toes by the sounds of it :)

He crashed while doing some fiming in a jet car on a track near York, he's on the neuro ward and was taken into hospital unconscious. I hope he's OK, one of the only decent presenters on television.

Ok, who was it? I was deep in thought and only noticed the other Trophy after it had passed (There are so many normal red clios on the road) at lunch time today, I didn't have time to wave. Was it chiefbadger, donovan or the mystery Brighton Trophy?

Got home, wife laughed, looked in mirror bright red!! :oops: Big thanks to everyone i met, esp pacey spent most of day with you. :D 16 trophy's in one space looked good. 8 or 9 in line going round track!! :P I now know why you all rave about these cars :twisted:

Hi People :D My 4 months with the Mini are over! Great car, no reason to sell it but I had the urge ! Anyone care to take a guess as to the replacement (pick it up tomorrow hopefully) Correct guess wins a jelly bean

Has anyone else got this in the post? Was sent a nice little card to use at the petrol station and a leaflet advising that 99 ron is now available at Shell stations (as V-power, not Optimax). Has anyone seen this, and have you got a card too? O.

I'm finding selecting 3rd gear is getting a bit 'clunky'? As I move the stick towards 3rd it hits some resisdence and then pops through and slots into gear? Anyone else had anything similar? I'll probably run it into the dealers in the next week or so to see what they say!

.First i'll do a spot; if anyone saw a broken trophy being dragged along the A34 by a AA van this morning, That was me. I know it was me because i was the grumpy one sitting in the passenger seat of the van. I don't think anybody has mentioned this problem on the forum, basically not long after...

Seems i'm always banging on with probs anyone any ideas with this? From cold can pull off but there is a total lack of power tiil it warms a little, plenty of revs but wiill just not move. Has only just started, admittedly have still only done 2k (i know shame on me) Sorry no idea what...

Hi Guys, Details of my car are as follows: S1 111S Lotus Elise (V Reg) Azure Blue with Factory Hardtop, plus black Soft-top Leather Seats, full Carpet and full Alcantara interior re-trim 47K with full service history, all bills, MOT's etc Larini Clubsport Exhaust Hurricane Induction...

As a newbie on here ive currently got a Lotus Exige S1 as a weekend toy and an Alfa Romeo 156 as my daily driver but am thinking of ditching it for a 182 or Trophy but was just wondering how comfortable a Trophy would be doing 20k miles a year up and down motorways?

Trophy parked up at the BP at Borham. Would have stopped to say hello, but i needed a fag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANY one else found this, say when in 2nd gear high revs steady and cornering, vibrations, very clear to the ear...think i heard something about heat shields rubbing is this true>>???

I have just moved in with my partner this week end, so took the bench seat out of the car, dropped the back seat down, and started to move my gear in. On the way over there i could hear something rubbing against the back of the seat. Had a look and noticed that i have taken a huge lump out...

stig..................or some bloke in a race suit?

OK, so I don't have an encyclopaedic knowledge of cars, but I was driving along today thinking how glad I was that the UK (and Switzerland) were considered worthy of being sold Tropies. Then I got to thinking about what special variants of cars we'd missed out on, that other nations had got...

Silly question: When putting someone/something in the back seat, my drivers seat flips forwards and slides forward, whereas my passenger seat only flips, i.e. doesn't slide. Is this normal, or is the passenger seat defective?

Many thanks to Olis for recommending Aurok for my geometry check. Although using the ‘old fashioned’ method of string and gauges, they confirmed my suspicions of incorrect tracking and mismatched camber angles. The camber was obviously slightly out from the factory but the tracking...
