Apart from thinking they're really cool (ya sound like a teenager there :oops: ) and would be great fun to drive, I don't know much about owning a rare 'foreign' car. I'm thinking it could be as much trouble as its worth. Has anyone owned a more 'finicky' car and loved or hated the experience...
Have tried searching but not found anything.
Has anyone gone to a DC5 from a Trophy?
Or vice versa from a DC5 to a Trophy?
Am thinking about what i'm going to get next(soon)and i love the DC5 Integra and i want a WHITE car!!!!
Have even been thinking about getting the Trophy "Wrapped" in...
Went over 30k this morning, and now that the warranty is coming to an end, are there any firms, (RAC, AA) who will do a check on the car to spot things that may need replacing.
Been told if i fit a decat it will invalidate my insurance, yet i can fit it for use on trackdays.
The reason is; decat makes car not road legal, was told this is industry wide issue as well :shock:
Yozza decat anyone?
Well... which car? :)
I find myself looking longingly at the Liquid Yellow (without scum stickers) Megane R26 that blasts the opposite direction to myself every afternoon on the way home from work. I just think it's a gorgeous car, and I think I may have to own one.
Being less realistic...
Well, the time has come to part with my car. I am going to sell all of the items separately and then sell the car in 'stock' form at a low price.
I would like to sell the car in the first week of June which is when my insurance expires.
As such I am looking to have all parts available in...
I'm taking the Clio to Reims and Disneyland Paris next month (and then the 'Ring the month after), and so yesterday I called Admiral to arrange for my insurance to be extended to cover Europe, but they said for each trip abroad I need a 'green card', at £9 a time. What's that?
The reason I...

I'm thinking of booking a trackday soon....
Apart from the obvious things like insurance, helmet etc
I was wondering if any of the trackday veterans on here could give me any advice.
I'm looking for info' like, what should i take with me? Do i have to tape my lights? Do i have to fit a tow...
...after a year or so of faffing about (well I did have to save up :lol: ) ive finally bought myself Trophy No. 131 (tup)
Bought from my local dealer at ware garages, who did me a fantastic deal both on the trophy and on my trade-in, its a one (female) owner, 4,600 mile, 55reg which has...
Hi all,
Firstly let me start by saying hello to you all and congratulations on an excellent informative and interesting website.
We are in the proccess of searching for a 182 Trophy in or reasonably close to Hertfordshire hoping to pay less than £10k. I was firstly after a little bit of...
My trophy needs new pads and discs all round, I'm thinking of upgrading to some that feel more solid and that don't squirm under heavy braking as with the standard ones.......
I don't really know much about these things, anyone got any recommendations? Also, how does upgrading affect the...
Hi all - been looking to invest in a trophy for some time, but due to my age (22) havent really been able to afford the insurance, tax, servicing, etc.
However the time has come to go all out and get me one of these cracking little cars.
About to pick up number 31 tomorrow which is as...
Not sure if this deserves a whole post but it all i have been dreaming about all day at work.
Someone at work has just bought a Subaru impreza Richard Burns Special.
And god does it look amazing :lol:
The fastest car round the twisty stuff medal award in my carpark is now not mine...

I thought I would get this in to save face for my mate. Some of you keen eyed members might see the recaros on ebay, with trophy number 495 on them, sadly this happened in february, foggy night, unmarked t junction, 30mph slide into a stupidly deep ditch, we didn't think they were going to write...
Im going to look at a VX220 tomorrow! Really can't decide whether i want one or to stick with the trophy? What are peoples thoughts on the VX220? And do you think its worth the change?? Cheers
K&N do a direct filter replacement for the 182 engine which requires no physical mods to fit it. You just take the Reno one out and put the K&N in. You never have to change it again. My insurance company want to know how much % power increase there is as a result of fitting. I have told them...
I've just done a spring clean of the Owner's Register, there are 12 double posts and 4 Swiss ones so that makes 219 registered on here (This includes scrapped ones because they are still registered). That's pretty good but not nearly enough, please, if you know anyone who owns a Trophy or you...
OK, I'm 34 and I keep it in a garage in Somerset, and only use it for max 6000 miles a year for social use, but I do have 3 points:
£266.00 FULLY COMP
From RAC care of confused.com.
Can you add an additional driver with Greenlight? Seems I can't when i fill out their online form. However i'm guessing I need to call them to add an extra driver. Or do they not allow it for some odd reason!?!?!
So are we being stiffed for another £10 or £15 a year to drive on shit roads?
I'm reading and getting conflicting information!
That's in addition to the increase in petrol taxes. :evil: :evil: :evil:
Year 2000 (X reg) Black, 60K miles, VGC. This is my girlfirends car, we're doing our bit for the planet by sharing a car (she is going to get insured on the Trophy (Gulp!))

Some of you may know this from the cliosport site but for those of you who don't, there's a guy that works at the same place as me near Coventry with a liquid yellow 182.
It was stolen from his driveway a couple of days a ago, this colour is even more rare than our Trophy's so please keep...
My mate saw a Trophy today near Segensworth (Hampshire) that had taken a hit! Drivers side rear quarter! Does it belong to anyone? Or is it one of the mystery owners!
