Solid top mounts are going to be fitted to my car shortly.
Im going for the KTR Solid Top Mounts which look very similar to the Compbrake ones.
Those of you with Compbrake top mounts fitted I want to know whether you have experienced any movement in the mounts resulting in geometry changes...
Hello chaps, I had my camber and toe set up just before christmas, went for 1.5 neg camber and I was going for around the standard 12mins toe out, as per the common concensus. After speaking to the suspension expert at Northampton Motorsport, who were doing the setup I was advised to go for toe...
:oops:
Fed up of my broken trophy suspension, i'll need to get some temporary suspension to use while the sachs are up being refurbed at the front, and i'll have to shell out £200-300 for some koni or sachs rear dampers.
Then i think, why not just chuck some bilstein or H&R coilovers on...
The additional power from a nitrous system can be very addictive and because its such a simple job to increase the power (quickly changing a couple of jets), most users decide to take quick steps up the power ladder. It must however be remembered, that each step places increased demands on the...
Hi All.
I'm getting my geometry set up again this weekend, it's not been done since new, and at nearly 50k it's definitely off, what with having to hold my steering wheel a few degrees to the right to go straight!
Soooooo. I'm presuming it's all trophy specific:
Toe?
Caster?
Camber...
Hi guys.
Having a nightmare with the car lately. When im travelling 60+ MPH the car feels like its not planted and changing lanes on the M-way or dualcarrage way is becoming very scary. When traveling at speed and steering lightly (ie changing lanes) everything feels loose and the car seems to...
I finally have just had a look. Main visual changes are to the inlet manifold - fatter and shorter, which is obviously intended to help the top end - looks like the lower half may be the same as the 182, coils built into plug caps and modified head casting/cam cover to accommodate more...
I'm looking at spending no more than a grand on some performance upgrades on the Trophy. looking at the Morego (without cams) but not sure. Does a custom remap, filter and exhaust offer more value for money and if so who and where do you recommend?
cheers.
I'm thinking of upgrading my Cams. I've been looking at the K-Tec performance Cams and the Schrick Billet Camshafts off Yozzasport. Has anyone got these and can you tell me why the Shrick cams are £200 more expensive? They both claim to retain good idle etc. but do you know of any issues...
In my short time here (a week) I get the impression that trophy owners seem to be older and more mature than normal RS owners. Is this a fair assumption?
For the record i'm 28 and pick 480 up tomorrow.

Wheels are as new, lovingly polished even on the inside. Tyres are 60% worn Kumho V70A soft - the only make available in the correct size. Warning, they are brilliant in the wet, but not in standing water (only have 4mm tread when new)- also being soft they pick up every little bit of grit and...

Well, to start with it's amazing what you learn and quickly forget.... For about 10 minutes this morning everything to do with Suspension settings was crystal clear. Now though i can't remember anything other than the tit bit's i've spent months pondering from George, Donkey etc on here...

Hello Everyone
Many thanks already for the hundreds of tips and suggestions I've read so far. I don't actually own a Trophy yet but by the end of February I hope to have one nailed down.
I was hoping I could get a little assistance from you all.

the only modification to my trophy so far is an ITG which was already on it im looking to go for a new exhaust ive looked into miltek but price is an issue as my funds are a bit limited at the moment just wanted some tried and tested comments or opinions on which is the most useful to go for...
A few questions on these as I don't really know much about them!
can you just buy a set of camber bolts i.e. h&r and get them fitted?
any need for lowering springs or anything?
how much are they and how much are they fitted/set-up?
do they drastically improve handling on their own...
So I took my trophy down to Mark fish motorsport today for its 24K service and a geometry check. he phoned me up an hour ago and reported a 3/4 of a degree difference in camber angles between each side, so im glad I asked him to check this.
This is the more worrying problem with my car...
