I have noticed recently that in the wet the brakes seem to ''fade'' quite easily. I know that the brakes on the Trophy are not the best in the world but these are not good. It happened today at a roundabout, and it was dry, I hit the brakes, got a little bite then nothing.
My discs were new...
Saw these on Ebay and thought i'd post the link (have a look at the sellers other items too), if people still want keyrings it might be worth contacting the guy - a little piece of carbon fibre with the Trophy logo would be pretty cool....

What's the most anyone's had out of their Trophy? A friend recently borrowed mine and said he took it up to 155mph with his dad in the passenger seat and felt like it still wanted to go even faster! I know the speedometer reads 160mph but I found this hard to believe as the spec notes top speed...

Just heard a story on the radio about some t**t shoving a firework up his a*s* and lighting it :shock:
What is the world coming to when people start doing mad s**t like that :?:
Is life so boring now that people have to copy Jackass stunts to get their kicks :?:
Reading some of the posts lately by people casually dropping things about the car like being able to disable the RAID by holding the switch down, checking the oil level electronically (a gem) and pulling the seat base forward, I thought there may be some other useful nuggets that all owners may...
Can anyone tell me the correct suspension settings for a trophy.
F/R toe, Camber etc as I'd like to check all the settings on my car.
I suspect the 60% worn tyres are contributing to the torquesteer, but would like to check before replacing them.
Note that 7MAT seems to have increased...

Bought Aug 06, now the second owner.
Got used to the 'tomato' now, handling is out of this world on my way to work down wet, greasy b roads.
Treated it too, ITG, boot net & shelf (bloody great) spare turini, silvervisions, soon to have wiper arm mod & lube & filter change.
So what have you got? Cash burning hole in pocket, happy to travel (reasonable) distance from Milton Keynes/Aylesbury area this coming Friday & Saturday.
172 Cup owners, should I save a pile of cash & buy yours instead of a trophy? (nothing modified please)
I'm too lazy to search through the archives - is there a quick answer to the right brake pacakge for the front of the Trophy?, I will probably only do 2 or 3 trackdays a year.
Thanks!

Another clip from me, with Renaultsport Clio in it :wink:
Goes to show quite much of a hooligan one can be in a RSClio :twisted:
Not sure about the state of the tyres and clutch after such antics :roll: but that would be to quibble, especially as he doesn't have to worry about such...
Just fitted Brembo High CArbon disks with Pagid RS42 pads braided hoses and 5.1 dot.

Bite is great now and the extra G you get when stopping make you...

Hi People :D
My 4 months with the Mini are over! Great car, no reason to sell it but I had the urge !
Anyone care to take a guess as to the replacement (pick it up tomorrow hopefully)
Correct guess wins a jelly bean
As some of you will know, I am in the market for a Trophy. However, I first have to sell my TT which is happening, albeit slowly!
Anyway, here are a few questions to get me started:
1. Will the Trophy run adequately on regular fuel i.e. 95 RON?
2. Would you recommend using 97+ RON? If...
My local normal rip off shell garage that sold optimax at 105.9 has just changed to v-power. Better still it's going for 99.9!!!
I had a huge smile on my face at the pump when i saw it was v-power and 99.9 then i thought to myself how sad am i!!! lol :lol:
Anyone else filling up on this...
