My trophy is up for sale! Had a blast with it, fancy something slightly different. Cooper S Works :D Lookin for £12,495. Standard apart from Janspeed Catback fitted at Janspeed. Also have the original. 6,700 miles, warranty till 2008. 55 plate. Mint condition, and I've never had to take...

Just got back from a track day at bedford. had so much fun on the track and the trophy loved it. After 3-4 laps at a time of the GT circuit i didn't really notice much brake fade. I did around 120 miles on the track the car wanted to do more. One thing i noticed was on the hairpins i had unreal...

Just a quick question, whats your mpg like at the mo? My Dads moved jobs a couple of weeks ago and since the longer journey to work the mpg has gone up .1 everyday! Its now at 34.5mpg and hes only using unleaded as there is no super around here.

Finally got the chance to put the car on the rollers to see what it was pushing out. Very happy with the results. 180.4bhp at the Fly with aa correcting figure of 184Bhp not that makes much of a difference. Will get the graph up so you lot can see the results. One thing i have...

Just seen your clio on cliosport.net and was quite impressed with the engine spec. What performance figures are you getting with 225bhp i.e 0-60 and top speed and do you think increasing capacity to 2500cc would be feasible and worthwhile? I ask coz I might be buying my mate's modified 182 which...

A quick question I wonder if anyone could help me with. I have a small problem with 104 :( Symptoms: - Under hard acceleration in 1st and 2nd I get a noise from under the car, seems to be below and between footwells, once past maybe 4,500 rpm. - But doesn't happen if I accelerate slowly...

After months of waiting our local Tesco's have just got the 99 RON fuel in. Since I got the Trophy in October it's always ran on Shell Optimax so thought I'd stick a tank full of Tesco's special in. Bloody hell, if you can find a Tesco's that sell it then stick a tank full in, I burnt £25...

Nik, do you have the Group'N' ecu fitted to your Trophy yet? What's the verdict? Which one did you go for – STD or for use with CAI? 7MAT

What do you lot think about it? I quite like it, there's a greyish one that passes me everymorning, certainly stands out. Quite like the dash too :shock: I've seen a few concept pics of the Type-R and that does look nice

Friend of mine has spotted another 05 Trophy in Brighton not 200 yards from my place. He drove all the way up the road flashing the guy from behind thinking it was me before he clocked the different plate. Sorry if this was one of you guys! Looked pretty filthy by all accounts so nothing like...

after many posts from individuals i though i'd just share what happened today. I do about 3 miles a day in my car so at weekend i like to have a good blast. once the car is warm i wind it through the gears and for the first few hard blasts the vapour is terrible, water on the rear window the...

Have done 1300miles in my Trophy since mid-Dec. It has improved noticeably since then, but I still find it underpowered. I would expect more from a lightweight car with 2-litre 16valve engine - it just doesn't pull like I was expecting. A test drive I had in a standard 172 two years ago seemed...

Guys I'm ready to order one of the following induction kits,and I am a little confused... I'm between Bmc cda,Viper,Maxogen and a K&N panel filter.... I'm reading all the posts in the cliosport.net but cannot deside wich is the best for our 182.. I think that Maxogen should be the...

I have bounced off the rev limiter a few times now at around 6,700rpm. The rev counter shows a red line at around 7250rpm. Is this a miles thing - have done ~1200 - is it a problem, or are they all like that? It feels like it could easily do more revs and I could certainly use them when overtaking.

Hey fellas! Just bought No. 323 off Eugene. It's got a few more miles on it than i would've liked but I needed a car for work next week so I had to get a move on. My last car was a Subaru 03 WRX PPP. It was a company car and I've just changed jobs so had to give it back. I had it from new...

Drove from Surrey to Cornwall late last night, popped in at a private test track on the way and notched up an indicated 141/142mph :) I had a slight decline in my favour, but I was very impressed with the ease that the Trophy showed in getting to around 135, but as you hit about 138 there...

Hello all I've now done almost 2k miles and the car is really loosennig up. Seems to thrive on being driven hard. averaging 31mpg which is not bad overall. Couple of issues: 1. Sometimes the rev limiter kicks in at 6400rpm. To stop this i stop and restart the engine. I thought it...

Apolgies if this one's been seen/ debated before - I did a quick search and could find nowt. When I open up and the revs go above 5000 I see a cloud of exhaust gasses in the rear view mirror (Note to self: keep eyes on road when pushing on!) The haze is not dark and oily but more like a water...

Can anyone help with this? While driving (ie. doesn't happen when stationary) when I go above 3000rpm the red STOP and battery lights flash on and off seemingly randomly. Sometimes they stay on for a little bit, but usually go out again when the revs drop. I feel no other probs, the car feels...

find out tonight on Channel 5 at 8pm ! Fifth Gear Channel Five: Monday, November 14 2005 (20:00 - 21:00) Series 8 - Episode 6 of 10 Vicki Butler-Henderson takes on a death-defying challenge to get into the record books. Her goal is to drive in a straight line at 150mph - while wearing a...

So, assuming that I actually get a (trophysmall) should I follow the advice in the manual (which I assume will say baby it for 500, open up a bit more next 500 or something similar) or should I make sure she's warmed up properly and then give it death? Also, is there a 1000 mile mini...

Looking at the air intake behind the n/s headlamp it appears to have an external bellows connected to the inlet manifold by a vacuum pipe. Presumably this is to do with emissions? Does anyone know exactly how it works and what happens if the pipe is disconnected, as I would guess is the case...

Alright just done 930miles and doesn't really seem as quick as the clio 182 cup I took out with the dealer. I could really feel the kick at 5000-5500rpm but don't seem to feel it in the trophy. The dealer told me of a person with a trophy when I was going to order one so telephoned the person so...

Can somebody help. Im sure I read here there is optimum gear change light. Because i'm running car in I obviously cant use revs to check it. I cannot find it in hand book. How does it work? Can it be turned on and off? Thanks :?:

any of you guy's thought bout k-tec turbo for your car? must admit im pretty keen on it to liven it up bit in the lower rev dept? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1317 rodger maybe someone has it on car would like an apprasal of power differance etc

First time i have ever owned a car since new so not overly familiar with the whole 'Run In' process. I have managed to clock up about 360 miles in 6 days so far. Still trying my hardest to keep it below 3500rpm till i get to 600 then will up it slowly till 1000miles. . . But what i have...

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...

First I was told delivery 20 September. This is confirmed in writing. Then im told computer says 29 September then a few days later 4 October today im told 7 October. They have given me no proper information except to say "well car is hand made very special could be sooner" ETC ETC. I am so...

I have been looking around the 'net for a few hours trying to get a feel for the best types of oil to put in my Trophy when it arrives. Here are a few of the best links I found that discuss the subject...
