From ph1 to a trophy

[therealMAtt]

Really thinking off chopping my phase1 172 in for a trophy just wondering if anybody has done just that or upgraded from a ph2 172

also how much different are they going to drive i haven't actually driven 1 yet just love the way they look and the write-up are so positive about there handling

Quite a few members have gone from a ph1 to a trophy, and loved the trophy.

Have yot thought about getting a set of coliovers set up properly on your 172, and keeping that?

Went from a PH2 172 to a Trophy. Massive step up, far higher cornering speeds, better steering, more composure. I'm quite close to the OP (Harborne Birmingham), you're welcome to come have a look over the car and I'll take you out in it.

 

[therealMAtt]

got some pics of the ph1, shes not quite mint yet but getting there just the wheels and fog light to sort out now!

Just had to show you my project/hopefully very soon weekend toy

Hope you like both of them cant wait to get the mini on the road

which one the ph1 or the mini neither has been on the track but i can imagine which would be more fun a standard ph1 172 or a 1964 mk1 850 with a bored out 997 cooper engine with uprated pistons,crank, flywheel,conrods, vavles-springs and MASSIVE modified head all helping to achieve nearly 100bhp:evil:

the only down side its still got drums all round

well youve got lots of power then but no brakes. supose you could always use the walls or crash barriers they do work well

I went from a Mk1 172 to a Trophy, also have a mini amongst other things so we have something in common. Happy to answer any questions.

As posted above Matt, you're more than welcome to have a look/ride in the Trophy.

cheers warren probs have a spin in it when the next midlands meet is you any idea when its in the pipeline!!

Well a Trophy is a significant step up from the 182 with cup packs, especially when negotiating some fast roads in Wales.

And I presume the 182 with cup packs is a significant step up from the PH1 172, so yes, buy a Trophy before it becomes too difficult to find a low mileage example with warranty remaining.

I was under the impression from Yozza/etc that the ph1 172 was the best handling out of the 172/182 range (cup pack or not) until the Trophy came along!

Get a Hayabusa unit in the Mini! Itll be rapid!
