great

Had the speedlines sorted out so it was time to get them on the car and take the 182 wheels off. Had them done at "The Wheel Specialist" in edinburgh and i must say the price was cheap and the job is spot on with almost an excact match.

Sadly I'm in the position where I have to sell a car I never wished to sell: my Trophy is for sale. :( Details via PistonHeads below: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2872867.htm

Had a great weekend in Manchester for a football league play off final and my ex-boss decided late last week to play 7-a-side match and got hit in the eye. He was not up for driving to Manchester from the SW and I was not insured to drive his Mondeo. I decided to take the Trophy on the 600 mile...

While rumagine about underneath the car this evening i noticed a curious dent in the downpipe just above the anti roll bar...the bar appears to be able to fit perfectly into this dent.....seems too much of a coincidence to me!!!!! Has some twat of a mechanic in the car's history lifted the roll...

172 Cup Turinis (16", ET38) https://picasaweb.google.com/107065425593712894867/Turinis?authkey=Gv1sRgCPPnkcLQ4ZjgNA&feat=directlink# I finally got round to swapping my alloys over so these are for sale. They're not great condition so I've priced them accordingly (I hope). Tyres are legal but...

Can anyone tell me the weight of two sachs dampers regarding postage to BG?? I'm taking mine off on sunday and think it'll be too late to book a parcel force collection for Monday to get them to arrive Tuesday. So if someone can be kind enough, if they remember! the weight of their parcel, i can...

I'm sure most of you attempt or have attempted to carry out work on your own car before, mechanical minded or not. I for one have very little experience working on cars but can't resist having a go with a 'how hard can it be attitude'. As of yet I haven't caused any major damage (touch wood)...

Ford Fiesta Challenge from Snetterton. Parked on the bank next to a yellow mini. Had a fair bit of air time as there was an incident in front of it. Looked great.

as above, its tempting.

Anyone out there fitted a bike rack to the back of the Trophy, have heard the spoiler can cause a few problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated, need to fit 2 mountain bikes on the car. Roof rack is another option. Good lady suggesting a new car! HELP :roll:

Thought you might like to see what 164 looks like now. Shane

Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...

182 half leatehr/alcantara rear bench, in great condition hardly used. £85 collected from South London SE9 Postcode will try add pics later, Matt

Over the last 3/4 weeks I've been having a handling problem with the Trophy. Everything felt fine until I entered a left hand bend and I would turn the wheel but instead of turning in sharply the car would take a very wide path no matter how much I turned the wheel. I checked the tyre pressures...

As I was moving cars about & an opportunity to take a quick pic presented itself. The Trophy next to my Lancia integrale EVO & our recently purchased EP3 Civic Type-R Premier Edition.

Good day chaps! My recent MOT revealed a leaking driver's side damper. So it's my intention to whip the shocks off, send them to BG for refurb, off which i have just emailed. Just a note, I emailed Mark Fish first, who basically said use BG as they have the market covered for this job. While...

Well, after 3 years of dreaming I finally bought my own Canoe :D. I was a bit sceptical about putting a Canoe on the roof of the little Clio but it holds it very well, surprisingly. It does draw a lot of attention and I have to admit it does look pretty funny. The little Clio has a whole...

Trophy spotted leaving Ringwood on A31 - Don't think you saw me was stationary in my T on other side of carriageway - Any one on here? :D

This is what I picked up on sat - drove to manchester to collect it. Been very well looked after, no dents or marks on the body work. The recaros needed a clean up with the brush and alcantara cleaner. IMG_4838 by Gib#244, on Flickr IMG_4839 by Gib#244, on Flickr IMG_4832 by Gib#244, on...

Firstly, thanks to James & Tom at JMS, despite having to be on the Eurotunnel at 6am this morning, James was bleeding my brakes at midnight last night - mostly thanks to another of our friends bringing in a last minute brake related emergency/c0ck up i might add ... IR tired. So, the work done...

Just a quick wash and wax

My Trophy's exhaust back boxes are finally on their last legs and so the selection of an aftermarket cat back system begins... So the initial search led me to the KTR Ultra performance system, which has a 2.5 inch bore from cat back. A bit more research led me to the understanding that the...

Well even after nearly 6 years of ownership this little pocket rocket still surprises me. I know how quick it is on a B road, but in a straight line i always thought it slightly underpowered to take on the great and good of Germany's finest but boy was I wrong. 100 octane racing fuel on board...

Hi, Newbie just signing on and wanted to introduce myself. I'll be on the lookout for a Trophy or possibly a 182 with both Cup packs and recaros as a daily driver. I have a S1 Elise for the weekend, although I'm expecting that if what I read about the Tropy and 182 is right, I might be using...

Spring is here, time to get rid of the swirls from the harsh winter. I’ve used a DAS-6 a few times and achieved reasonable results but now I’ve decided to upgrade to rotary in the form of a cheap and cheerful Silverline. Due to time restrictions and it being my first time I’m only aiming for...

Ok so there is only a paragraph on the Trophy in the new Evo magazine so probably not worth buying if you're not a regular reader, but they list 6 giant killing road cars which the Trophy tops with a closing comment of "It's our ultimate giant-killer" It's a good day to be a Trophy owner!

From yesterday. Saw a couple of other Trophy's as well, Spank-It being one of them, not sure on the other :oops: New suspension setup on the Trophy is fantastic (set to -2.8 degrees negative front / -1.8 degrees rear), maybe not in the wet mind you, but when it dried out; lift, turn in, foot...

Just wondering how many of the Trophy drivers on here did regular or occasional trackdays? Trophies are certainly built for the job and go really well on track but I've had no replies on the event thread I started here and the trackdays forum seemed a bit quiet generally :-k . I assumed there...

I've recently had my dampers re-furbished with BG Motorsport and had them fitted earlier this week. I know the ride is firm, but I certainly don't remember it being this harsh; I can feel even the tiniest of bumps in the road and it's bone shaking to say the least. Another thing I've noticed...
