I have been told by a pal to drop my pressures to 20psi all round, will this improove traction, im running crappy tyre and are not bothered by wear rates.......is this reccomened??
So Oliie's post about trackday rims and tyres got me thinking that I should probably do the same thing and get a set of trackday tyres to stop me killing a set of road tyres every other trackday. The tyres that I have read the most about on this forum are the Kumho V70A's, and I just want to see...
I have discovered that the Trophy is seriously unbalanced with the addition of weight at the rear. Specifically, fourteen bottles of wine and six of olive oil, plus lots of heavy luggage, on the 110mph sweepers of the Italian Autostrada.
So much so that I stopped several times to crawl under...

For those of you that have tracked your trophy's what did you have to replace after the trackday. Obviously i'm thinking tyres, brake pads etc but did you actually have to replace them? or were they still ok?

With so many of us likely to buy Michelin Exalto 2 tyres as replacements for the ones already on our Trophy's, I thought it may be useful to start a thread with location/prices for the aid of all of us.
So as the first entry I have found Exalto 2s at:
Place: www.mytyres.co.uk

What do all of you run as tyre pressure in the Trophy's stock tyres?
I have not been able to find much about this in the literature owing to the Trophy's unique rims...
Any suggestions openly welcomed :)

Often overlooked, but very important to the balance and handling of your car. If you haven’t checked your pressures in a couple of weeks, go out an do it today - if you have been driving your Trophy hard, they will usually have changed.

Hi guys, seems like a few of us are picking up Trophies this weekend, so how about some advise on what to look out for at the Dealership when checking the car over - just before we accept them ?
Can you think of more than this ?

A few problems with my Trophy, picked up from the dealer last Saturday:
1. Alarm is oversensitive and almost always goes off 30 seconds or so after setting with one press of the key.
In the manual I've discovered that if you turn on the ignition and turn it off again immediately, this...
