Cheaper than the other 2.
Depends how all-out you want to go.
As long as you do something to stop it feeling like the engine is sitting in a hammock!
Cheers welshy. Just hope the colour comes up well! I see Luke's old one and can only hope!

That car was lovely. Jack's isn't bad either.

More like stirring coal. You use coal in Scotland anyway, right?
Unique Hair Pink Car Club?
Nope and we'll kindly keep that chat out of here hair boy! 
It really isn't that bad it's only due to there cars I drive it feels frustratingly poor.
I've been driving a 55' sport KA with 25k on the clock and the gearbox is just superb. Yanoo has got back to me, fingers crossed it's what I need.

What model did you go for mate? I was just going for 1.0.
It's just had a lower engine mount. Most of this is alien to me.
How many mounts are there ffs!
I have no interest in making it harsher!
OEM, factor or Powerflex?
Missed out gearbox to subframe but no one ever upgrades that one.
Dogbone doesn't make it harsher ime, just more controlled.
If its OE and new I'd probably just leave it as is for a good while then, they've got a good few thousand miles in them!
And agreed Aucky, Daves iceberg has them and they dont vibrate at all but they are noticeably stiffer and I think that would upset Gallys sensitive nature.

I suppose it's good practise to use the uprated ones then. I remember how little your engine was moving on the RR day compared to everyone else's cars. Huge difference!
I may have to take you up on that offer too
I'd really like to get my hands on a RS2 at some point later on in the year.

Im going for just the base kit don't feel the need for quick shift apparently just replacing the plastic for yanoo's metal housing makes all the difference..
F31 35d, Berlingo Na
Are these easy to fit or is it a job for mechanic/specialist to do.

146 posts and the floppy haired f**ker hasn't even posted a picture he's taken yet. FFS!
Make sure you go poweflex on the dogbone mount Kev, it's the only one worth doing IMO. I'd go with a full set of stiff mounts if it were purely a weekend/track car, as vibrations and the like don't matter, but not for you.

I'm going for Dan/'topher's P2P record without actually posting a picture.
I don't want to make it harsh so solid mounts etc aren't for me. The road where I stay are shocking mate, hence me having to give up the Frp. The Trophy rides much much better whilst still being solid. Impressive stuff.
I have to say I'm with you on the 'box, especially after coming from a Puma/FRP, which has one of the nicest gearboxes I've used. The Clio's is far too baulky and obstructive. Good purchase though
Indeed mate, i've been a bit spoiled by gearboxes so the Trophy was funny, i'll get it tightened up with some small mods and get the car to suit me.

Understand your not wanting to make it harsh, when you fit the dogbone mount you may get a little more vibration coming through on idle, but after about 300 miles it settles down and you can't tell it's fitted.
Difference is when (more like if with you) you're hooning it around some lanes, the GB won't be rocking all over the place knocking on anything in site.

Excellent. One less thing. Didn't think there was much movement.
On another note these AD08s are stunningly good even in the damp. Although credit to the car also for not straining them in the corner they still handle and traction very well. A dry day should be fun.
Maybe August/September time up here!

Its well worth polybushing the dogbone, makes the change that little better, i had slight vibration for about a week before it went or i stopped noticing..
I want to give some of them tyres a go when i get chance... Ment to be great in the dry!

Err don't think there were different ones when I got mine a while ago was just a "stiff shift"
I would change your knob at the same time I got a nice Richbrook one and made the install much easier and also feels lots better to use.
If only Gally knew someone with one...........
(Although I've no idea what the condition is like!)
