Trophy #433

[Hixle]

After picking up the Trophy from Sir_Dave about a week or so ago I decided, since we finally had some ok-ish weather yesterday, to give it a clean and take some photo's.

I'm so impressed with this car, it really is fanstatic. Awesome step up from the fiesta I had before in every way and would recommend one to anyone who is even remotely enthusiastic about driving. :approve:

Cheers,

Luke.

 

[Davis]

lovely car! looks stunning.

 

[Rob]

Looks excellent mate, really nice photos and very clean! Just need that rear bench ;-)

I'm looking for some front seats at the moment so maybe we can split a set

I was going to pm you and suggest the same thing ;-) I want doorcards and rear bench


Lovely trophy luke, I remember the for sale add, very well looked after and a very well kept car, good luck...I love my trophy :star:

 

[Hixle]

Cheers Davis.

Rob, cheers bud, a little cleaner that the other day eh? Lol. To be honest mate, that would be ideal, are you looking for some ph2 172 seats?

Thanks Chris, are you keeping yours now I gather?

 

[Chris205]

Thanks Chris, are you keeping yours now I gather?

I think so mate, All I've had is timewasters and I'm getting to the point a workhorse will be better then use the trophy in my spare time

 

[Gaz_]

Looks ace that mate, cracking pics!
Wish i'd have owned a Trophy a few years ago, never had the pleasure

 

[Christopher]

Looks great! Was this the lower mileage Trophy he had?

Does he still have the 170k one?

 

[Gally]

Think he kept the 170k one to mess with Chris.

Aesome choice Luke! Very impressed! Love the Trophy!

 

[Hixle]

Cheers all. Yeah, tis the lower milaged one Chris - the 170k one won't be far off 200k soon knowing Dave.

 

[Christopher]

Brilliant choice mate. Must seem like a torque monster after the ZS.

 

[Feirny]

Looks mint!!

 

[Scott™]

Very very nice mate. I love the picture too. Great job.

 

[Hixle]

Brilliant choice mate. Must seem like a torque monster after the ZS.

Absolutely mate, the perfect upgrade tbh. The ZS was a great car in its own right, but the Trophy does everything that was good about it so much better. It's the handling/adjustability that's suprised me the most; there's just stupid amounts of grip there!

Hai Feirny! It's pretty immacuate really minus a few stonechips, will be getting a front end blowover in the new year How's the Sunflower coming on?

Cheers Scotty!

 

[jim cook]

Great pics and you got a fine example there very nice........

 

[Hixle]

Cheers Jim

Oh, I hear you like front end blowovers.

Yeah it's alright ta, working to get her sorted

 

[alex-avfc]

That looks lovely Luke, great upgrade as you say! Did you sell the eibachs from the zs?

 

[Ben]

Stunning that. Great pictures too.

 

[Hixle]

Stunning that. Great pictures too.

Cheers mate.

Alex - cheers bud, hows things with the Fiesta? The guy I sold the springs to is a good mate of mine and hasn't fitted them. I can find out if he wants to sell if you like?

 

[Fletcher]

Looks great Luke

 

[Sir_Dave]

Looks blooming lovely Luke

You can clean the miley one as well if you like ... epic levels of dirt on that bad boy!!!

 

[Poopensharten]

Very nice sir!

 

[Budgie]

Awesome car and pics.

 

[Leeshez]

Lookin good

Sounds like a challange to me...

After driving to work today along the country roads it's dirty again..ffs I hate the weather atm. Cheers for the comments though, I'll get out and take some better pics in the next few weeks

 

[alex-avfc]

The fiesta is superb Luke, got a cat back exhaust on it and polybushes now...I'd love to make the upgrade you have though!

What's it like compared?

Yes that would be great if you could find out please mate.

 

[Hixle]

Excellent stuff mate, what exhaust did you end up going for? Will speak to my mate tonight re: the springs.

It's difficult to compare really, purely because we've not really had dry roads since I got it and I've not had chance to push it. The handling, from what I can tell so far, is simply sublime. It's so precise, turn in is extremely sharp and the whole car feels far more composed than the fiesta. I'd definately recommend one as an upgrade bud.

 

[Ali]

Nice car.

 

[Jason_E]

You sir, are a lucky b*****d. That's sexwee material!

 

[Hixle]

Ta Ali.

You sir, are a lucky b*****d. That's sexwee material!

But it's not got stance, y0?! I thought that's all you liked

Cheers though mate, I'm chuffed with it.

 

[Jason_E]

Pfft not on a Clio Sport Why ruin it?

Sports suit a subtle drop, as to not ruin the chassis

Lol, I've promised myself not to tinker with the suspension on this one, as the Sachs were one of the main reasons I managed to justify spending more on a Trophy rather than a cup packed 182 - I would have got H&Rs/KW's anyway.

However, I have been eyeing up some MF springs and Whiteline ARB already...

 

[Budgie]

MF springs, Whiteline and Koni adjustable rears FTW.

(I might have some Koni's for sale soon.) (;

 

[Hixle]

Ssshh, don't encourage me

 

[Eddyg]

Looks awsome luke! U should see the front of my one after the 1000 miles through europe, amazing how squashed bugs get on the autobahn

If you find a deal on koni's let us know!

 

[Jimbo_M]

looks like a lovely trophy you've got there pal, enjoy her!

 

[Hixle]

Cheers guys.

Eddy - Lol, I bet. How was the 'Ring bud?

 

[JoeyD]

That's one mint trophy! Great pictures too, very crisp.

Do the rear wheels have a little bit of neg camber, or is it just the angle the car is at?

 

[Jay_A]

Congrats mate. I had that car for 2.5 years and loved every minute of it.

Enjoy!
