Hi chaps. Can somebody tell me what difference the Whiteline rear arb will make to the handling of the trophy. Is it worth fitting. My car has got the Mark Fish spring set fitted. Thanks.

Not needing a big car anymore and having found a car that I fancy I am advertising my Forester STi for sale. Summary: 2006 (06 plate) Subaru Forester STi WR Blue 60,500 miles FSH MOT: December 2014 Tax: end of January 2015 £12,500 During the 5 years I've owned this car it has never let me down...

Hi all, been looking at getting a second car, and a Trophy has always been on the list...:) Have saw one and put a deposit down, but as it's so far away haven't been able to inspect it. There's no info about whether the dampers have any attention, so I'm assuming they won't have had a...

I have recently crashed my Trophy and she is in a bad way :( The offside sill is now a new 'feature' inside the car just ahead of the drivers seat and behind the pedals. The damper on this side is now also inside the car.. lying down on the back seat still attached to the front wheel in fact...

Look and finish is awesome.

Hi All, I can't find Michelin PE2s now so are people using PE3s and is ok to use PE2s and PE3S at the same time??? Lastly, what is the difference between them? Regards, jsgthomson

Just got my Trophy back after a whole heap of maintenance work and I have to say Wow! I can't believe how much the car is transformed! She went in for a service, new discs and pads, refurbed front shocks from Cornering Force, new front springs and new front top mounts. I had the rear shocks...

Hey folks, havent had a chance to drive the car in snowy conditions yet, but living in Scotland means its pretty inevitable unfortunately! Can anyone comment how the driving is in the snow? I have eagle f1 tyres all round so i dont think it will be very good..! Also, what kind of snow tyre set...

Hi all, I am looking to lower my T as it sits far to high at the rear and intern the side skirts do not sit level with the floor. I have my car booked into K-tec for three weeks time so will get them to sort it out but I need to know what are the best springs and how low to go. I would like...

I'm very reluctantly selling my Trophy. It is in exceptional condition, with only 43,500 miles and a full service history. I bought it 2 and a half years ago with the original tyres on the rear wheels and they still haven't (quite) worn out - that's how gently the car has been driven. The front...

Which tyres offer the best value & performance in 205/45/16? I only use the T for weekend fun so road noise & wet weather capabilities are of no concern, I just want great performance & value for money. Of course, they have to be road legal too! Suggestions & recommendations most appreciated.

These are a hot topic at the mo so thought I'd post up my thoughts... I have now had Cooksports on my T for a week now. A point to note, my front Sachs dampers are in good condition, refurbed recently and no leaks... Rears however are cup shocks, awaiting new Sachs/Koni's to go on. Ride -...

Hi Im looking to buy a Trophy and as well as looking at some great ones listed here, there seems to be lots on ebay as well as other sites such as Gumtree.. At the moment there is 9 available on ebay which is making it difficult for me to make a decision.. As you guys are experts in all that...

197 steering wheel - ideally needs retrimming, looks really good once fitted much better than the standard it has a thicker grip and sits slightly closer to you £70 posted (no airbag included) have got one fitted in my 182 clio engine bay fuse box - good condition all clips intact and...

I know theres plenty of threads on exhaust choices here but it's time for me to invest in a new one as mine is starting to look and sound pretty tired, slight rattle and movement under center section. I don't want it to be loud so it seems like either of these is the choice, is any one quieter...

got these for the clio after suffering 2 winters with poor grip on the michelins. 4x 15" pirelli snow control tyres and genuine Oz F1 wheels. the tyres give increased grip over the michelins in anything below 8 degrees. in retrospect, well worth the investment to get better grip over winter...

Hello all! After a flirtation with a 182 some time ago I have decided it is time to investigate the best of the breed and have just become the new owner of Trophy #051. Seemingly the first item I will need to attend to is a refurb of the distinctly tired Sachs dampers and have already spoken...

Here's mine after my commute this morning

No 147 is for sale on ebay with furry steering wheel and missing fog lights, exhaust looks misaligned, and the engine has been replaced?? dented roof panel, other wise perfect.

Has anyone fitted winter tyres to their Turinis? I've got 2 full sets of wheels now so am hoping to do so soon. I recall reading somewhere that it's worth fitting slightly narrower tyres (more choice and saves money too!). I was thinking 195/45/R16 instead of the standard 205's? Will these...

I am in need of 4 new tyres and looking at prices for premium brand 205/45/16 tyres are £100+ each including P&P/fitting. I used to run a ph2 172 and they ran on 195/45/16. I remember with Conti Sport on the 172 the handling was more playful than the Trophy. Has anyone considered or are...

Can somebody please report back on the following: Driving straight ahead at 60+ MPH using small movements of the wheel around the centre is there much "feel/feedback"? I have had lots of work done on curing a wandering/tramlining problem which is now sorted and the handling/steering feel is now...
