whatever model you get your onto a winner
i personally think the early 172 is a performance bargain whatever way you look at it, alot of car for around 2k
hi folks about an hour ago i experienced something unusual with my trophy, the engine was cold and hadnt been started say for a good 7 hours, anyway i started the engine and usually the auto choke would kick in and the car idles around 1200 rpm, but on this occasion the rpm was going up and down...
cheers for lookin folks, ive owned the car since last september
the conversion itself isnt really that difficult, the parts you need to do the conversion are available via ebay and people from the owners clubs, but you do need to do some altering like cutting away at the cambelt cover so i...
i agree, no civic since has been as focused, the new type r aint considered to be a true type r which put me off getting one, hence i bought the trophy
lol years ago in my r5 gtt i had confrontation against a civic vti on a private road, the civic walked away from me but my car was full of meaty gits, in the civic there was 3 anorexic asian lads

rensport are carrying out a 5 year service in a week or so, i dont think there will be much of a gain if any, id like to see the difference anyway between a ported and unported one
in the first week of owning my trophy i found the car a bit odd to drive, didnt trust it too much but i found that the more harder i push it the better it becomes
the handling is simply sublime
yes pictures were taken in dovedale lol!
i am very unliklely to modify too many things tho, it would probably devalue it to be honest, but i am looking at getting a early 172 so that i dont have to use the trophy every day which i currently am atm
the car is far from perfect and theres a...
number 267/500
