Around 7.30 this morning (still dark) I was driving along merrily at 40-45mph when suddenly my front, right tire hit something huge. It felt like it went over an open man-hole or a very deep ditch but when I reversed to check what it was it turned out to be a bl**dy brick lying in the middle of...
Well i've had my second Trophy for a week now and racked up 300 miles but thought i'd share a few of my thoughts and findings from the time i've been driving the car.
I bought my first Trophy (328) with 5500 miles on it, and this new one (474) had 7080 when i collected it. One of the first...
As Christmas and 2007 is fast approaching I was wondering what interest there would be for a calender for next year. If anyone has any spare time and fancied designing one and members could post pics of their pride and joy for the calender we could possibly see what we could do.
We would...
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)
My first attempt at finding a decent tyre fitter/ set up company along the M62 corridor didn't result in any suggestions so how about further afield? Which companies do we all recommend for tyre fitting and for getting the tracking/suspension settings done properly? I don't want my alloys...
It's almost time for me to get some new front tyres, 19,000 miles on my first set is pretty good. I'm also wanting to get all the tracking and allignment done as well.
Do any of you know of a decent tyre fitter along the M62 corridor, i.e Liverpool to Hull. I'm willing to travel to get the...
I am right on the verge of buying a Trophy, and have been reading this forum furiously to get myself up to speed.
Anything particular I need to look out for on a secondhand Trophy?
I will announce the number of the car once purchased, and apply to get another star!
Then it's...
I am just coming up to my 12k service and I have been quoted £221.47 by my dealer!! I personally think thats a bit steep!
Do you invalidate your warranty if you go elsewhere to get it serviced? If not then does anyone know of somewhere decent around the Salisbury area?
To all the guys who've had their alignment done...
Did you need camber bolts on the front wheels?
I am about to have mine dialled in with about 2.2 degrees of front camber but I am not too sure how much camber the front can adjusted utilising the stock suspension geometry. I understand...
It was £121.23 with me providing the oil. What has everyone else paid? It has only just clocked up 10,000 miles but I have decided to get it done early.
Also, how many miles have you had from the front tyres before having to replace them?

Need to get the wheel balancing and alignment sorted on my Trophy. I know a few peeps have had it done to theirs with excellent results.
So i need to get it done and im looking for somone to recommend a company to me who they know are good at this type of thing. I am...
Many thanks to Olis for recommending Aurok for my geometry check. Although using the ‘old fashioned’ method of string and gauges, they confirmed my suspicions of incorrect tracking and mismatched camber angles. The camber was obviously slightly out from the factory but the tracking...

Just getting out of the car earlier i noticed that the handle on the left hand side of the seat was hanging out further than it should be. Upon trying to fix it i was left with the whole rod mechanism in one hand, and the bit of plastic you turn to adjust the seatback position in the other.

Hello folks, just came across the site today. Brilliant site!
I am pretty keen to get back to my hot hatch roots and hopefully get lined up
with a Trophy. Problem is I live in Aberdeen and any cars for sale are way south of
the border!
If anyone has a Trophy in and around Aberdeen or...
In preparation for trackday season, I took my Trophy to get the tracking done today, which is all good, but their 4 wheel laser alignment system showed that I have -1.01 degrees of camber on the left front, and -0.24 on the right :?
I was told that this was not a great amount to be out, but...
Is it me???
I have just watched this week's top gear and can't help thinking "Jammy Barstewards"
Clarkson, May & Hammond blasting down to the south of france just for the hell of it in three supercars.
Well I want some of that action in my Trophy!!
anyone up for a trip next summer...
Number 104 signing in, greetings and salutations.
Have been lurking for a while, but thought I ought to register. Had #104 since June, so about 8,900 miles under the wheels now.
Had intended to keep my full fat 182 (with cup suspension) for a long time but then my fiance told me Trophys...
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...
just posting this for a mate with a 182
his steering wheel isn't dead straight when driving - its been like that from new. tracking etc spot on - it just needs removing and refitting( assuming is on a splined shaft)
Anyone know the way to do it considering the air bag issue?
Cheers guys...
