    Creaking when pulling away!

    I get a deep creak/groan sort of noise when pulling away. And no it's not the ABS system, it does it whenever pulling away from a standstill. Only started this week really, and i think it's related to my worn wishbone balljoints. Normally i'd think engine mounts but it dunno. Anyone else had...

    Unstable at speed !

    Hi guys. Having a nightmare with the car lately. When im travelling 60+ MPH the car feels like its not planted and changing lanes on the M-way or dualcarrage way is becoming very scary.

    Brake Upgrade - Ideas and opinions please

    Hey guys, When I bought my Trophy a year ago the first thing I did was upgrade the brakes (to the little known CRN grooved discs and EBC RedStuff pads). I have to be honest they are actually very, very good (and I got them cheaper as they were part of a group buy in which my Good Lady also...

    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...
