    Exhausts

    Although I don't have my Trophy anymore, if I did or was to buy another I'd go to Joe at BTB and get his exhaust with associated CAT modification. If his work is good enough for Adrian Newey's Jaguar E-Type race car, it is good enough for me. One of Formula 1's most prominent designers and...

    Trophy OEM springs £50

    When getting the christmas tree out if the garage attic, I came across my old Trophy springs which I forgot I had as my car had Mark Fish springs when I sold it. Removed at approx 35,000miles, no structural rust or cracks and apart from some dirt in excellent condition. £50 to anyone who...

    Thinking of getting a trophy?

    I used my Trophy as a daily driver over 3.5 years putting 44,000 miles on it in the process and it was fantastic. It's comfortable, got good heating in winter, decent air con in summer. And when fitted with winter tyres completely drivable in even the worst of winter conditions thrown at it. I...

    Snow driving

    I used to be a little sceptical of the merits of winter tyres haven grown up & learned to drive in Glasgow. Until you actually drive a car on winter tyres you really can't comprehend how good they actually are. In most cities and towns the main roads are usually pretty good, and you can get...

    Had my new PureMotorsport exhaust fitted today!

    Looks like a great system, really well made & fantastic weight reduction with some meaty looking mounts. Not sure on the de.CAT as I was always under the impression the standard 182 CAT is a 200cell & flows well. The only restriction being the reduction in pipe diameter which makes the CAT heat...

    Lowering springs

    My car was much better once I fitted Mark Fish springs, Eibach camber bolts on front running 1.75 degrees negative camber and 10mins total toe out, and then added a WhiteLine rear anti-roll bar. The turn in was brilliant, the feedback increased & the rear end much more involved in the process of...

    Trophy & Civic Type-R replacements.

    The Megane is rarer than a Trophy, but yeah it's not quiet as enthralling to drive but the 52mpg on my 90 mile a day commute compensates. I've read a simple re-map can yield 195-200bhp & 310-320lb ft up from 173 & 267 and an improvement on mpg. Removing DPF at same time gives even more of...

    Trophy & Civic Type-R replacements.

    Within the last 4 months I've sold my much missed Trophy and my partners EP3 Civic Type-R Premier to be replaced by a RenaultSport Megane DCi175 with Cup & Lux packs making it rare as only about 390 were sold in the UK & not all with either packs never mind both. And the Civic with a late model...

    How to Lubricate the top on the shock??

    Are you sure it's not the bearing inside the top mount that seized meaning when you turn the steering wheel the spring is trying to turn in its seat which is possibly the clunking noise you are hearing.

    Guglielmi Motorsport - anyone used?

    I've not spoken to him in a while, but a family friend Chris Rapps works there, in fact it's his rolling road they use. Due to illness I know he took a few months off, but I've not been updated on his present situation but I believe he may be bac at work.

    Trophy no. 243/500

    The wheel was done by Andy (Snappy on Clio Sport) one of the first he did and I remember him saying the OEM covering was really poor quality material. I was so pleased with it I got him to do our Civic Type-R EP3 steering wheel and want a spare Megane wheel to do as although the Megane wheel is...
