weight

A couple of interesting reads in evo magazine this month: 1) JB rates the Williams superior over the Trophy 2) The 197 is deemed better than the Cup but comparison to Trophy is not made (yet!) O.

Currently fitted to my trophy, only done about 3000 miles on it, looks great and gives a nice tone under acceleration. Paid just over £400 fitted at Janspeed themselves. Looking for £275. Ollie has first refusal as he messaged me about it a week ago, but if he doesn't want it its up...

anyone else thought of changing the bonnet for something lighter like carbon fibre - obviously having it painted in capsicum.... must save a kilo or 2...

I am considering a track day but really think it would be more economical in the long run to buy a set of dedicated track rims/tyres. Does anyone know if there is a set going cheaply anywhere? Also do I have to stick with the same dimensions as the current rim? If I change slightly I am...

Anything! Where has everybody gone?

Hi All I would like to start a thread about car mats, I don't have any decent ones for my Trophy yet and would like to know if anyone out there has any recommendations, as It's likely to be the only thing I'm buying for the car i would like them to be really nice. I understand that the...

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...

Hi, Can anyone post me pic's up showing a 172/182 rear bench fitted in their Trophy. Can you post pictures with headrests fitted and without headrests fitted please? I've been offered a set of seats minus headrests so just want to see what they might look like in the car before i buy them...

Hi Guys (and lasses) I'm about to take the plunge and part ex my mini cooper for a Clio 182 or 172. The problem I have is which model? I know alittle bit about the BHP increase and the twin exhaust, but other than than, nothing! Can anybody please guide me as to which one I should get...

Ive noticed something when i break going round a medium corner at around 70 -80mph...not a harsh break a general one, the back end swings up and makes me very nervous to thrash the fiesty beast.....dosent do it as much on right handers. i never noticed befor but i had a full set of £65 budget...

Ok, I currently own a S2 106 Rallye. Absolutly love the car to bits, I've owned it for 3 and a half years and is standard on the outside (including the white steelies) and I have a straight through exhaust + de-cat. I've toyed with getting something faster for a few months now, but I don't...

Recaro stickers for the subframes, i think they look well sweet!! cant afford anything else, holiday in 5 weeks!! :D

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...
