    Factory Camber Settings?

    I'm getting my geometry fine tuned within next couple of weeks. I'm yet decided if I'm going to go for -2 camber or just optimise/correct the factory settings. Does anyone know what the factory camber/toe settings should be exactly?

    Trophy Handling Comparison

    I'm just wondering for those people that have gone from 182/172 variants to the Trophy if you notice the Trophy is snappier? I'm still not fully use to mine due to the conditions and lack of opportunities to really test the handling. I've noticed you need to work harder to keep the Trophy in...

    Is it possible to do a straight swap for the FF's interior light, which (I believe) has a map light built-in to it? I'm doing a navigational rally tomorrow night and have just had to rig up a load of cardboard and masking tape to shield the light from my side of the car... :lol: If anyone...

    Clio 182 or Trophy

    Sold my Subaru a while ago now and decided to look for a 182, got 6k together to find one. I have seen a few around that price. My question is should i just borrow some money and just buy a Trophy. Are Trophys a better drive than the 182..... Johnny
