Chelmsford driving past the Audi Garage on the dual carrigway Saturday 17th November.
Who was it.
Weird becasue at the same time there was a RB 182 that was in front going up to the A12 jucntion, a Blue 197 that had turned of towards the town, a Megane F1 in LY and a Williams 3 I think...
Interior light in the car has just stopped working, I thought it may have been the same as my old Clio where you had a 5w side light bulb.
I have taken the unit out of the roof and there is no obvious way of changing the bulb .
Any ideas, as i keep having to get my Maglight out of the boot...
I have been meaning to get one since I bought the car. Finally got one from the scrap yard for £12 got it fitted, and never looked back.
I never realised what I had been missing, what with this lovely sunny weather we have been having NOT :cry:
Anyone that hasnt done it get it done know.
Right I have a spare set of dash inserts and trying to get hold of a spare gear knob insert and the steering insert.
Was just wondering what you lot thought about this.
I have been in touch with IXO Models who manufacture a few of the Renault Models for the dealerships to see if they would be willing to manufacture the Trophy as a limited edition model.
Normally they will only think about doing this if they produce 1000 units at a time, but I have asked...

Sunday around 1ish I was just pulling out of the station car park as you went past. Was going to follow you into Morrision but was hungry and cold.

FCUK me, long storey but remebered that i needed to get a new tax discs as Trev the Trophy is now 1yrs old.
The dosey sods at DVLA didnt send me the form, so had to find all my details. So off i go with my documents, jump on the missus moped, pull out of the road only to see a load of cops...
Well i have decided that as i am skint what with moving in with my gf a couple of weeks ago, that i wanted to do something with the car.
All of the obvious options, such as exhaust, engine mods are out of the window, as is the harnesses and brake upgrades.
So i have taken the spanner to...
I have just moved in with my partner this week end, so took the bench seat out of the car, dropped the back seat down, and started to move my gear in.
On the way over there i could hear something rubbing against the back of the seat.
Had a look and noticed that i have taken a huge lump out...
I was stuck in all the traffic going London Bound, saw you pelting it down the outside lane.
Who was it then. I know there are quite a few of you guys down near Southampton area, Including Nik.
This weekend I was driving around with the window down, and noticed that i am getting a rattling creaking noise from the window.
It is fine when it is all the way up/down, but when it is in between the noise starts.
It is starting to do my head in :evil:
Any ideas.

I thought i would inform you of some shocking information that i found out while renewing my insurance.
When i purchased my Trophy last september Direct Line were my current insurers, so i phoned them and payed the additional £250. I payed this got the paper work through all was fine...

Been speaking to the guys at Pipercross, who have just released a new induction system. Its not cheap but just looking at the gains that were made on the Type R makes me wonder.

My car has just hit the 10k mark with no major problems at all (Touch Wood :? )
I cant belive that in 6months I have done so many miles. Good thing is later this year i am moving in with my Partner, which is only 10min walk from work, so during the week the car will be parked up and i will...
Finally got my nice red samco hose. Been trying to think of a way to fit the breather pipe into it, Spoke to one of our suppliers and he has a special tool to fit it perfectly, as the original breather pipe fits.
Hope fully i will have some pics online in the next week.
If anyone else...
Finally got the chance to put the car on the rollers to see what it was pushing out.
Very happy with the results.
180.4bhp at the Fly with aa correcting figure of 184Bhp not that makes much of a difference.
Will get the graph up so you lot can see the results.
One thing i have...
I have just ordered a nice red Samco elbow joint to get rid of the horrible black one which conncets to the Airbox.
Was lookingto get the rest of the hose sorted but tbh it looks like to much effort and once fitted half of the hoses are hidden.
I am also getting the ECU remaped at the end...
What is the correct tyre pressures for the Exlato tyres.
Just had my tryes checked to see if i had a punture and they have no idea what the correct pressurs should be. Now i have looked in all of the hand books but cant find the information. I have spoken to the dumb arse dealership and...
BX55/RX55 only got a quick glimpse of it as we were in the bar having a few drinks.
Started to panic as i thought it may of been my car. LOL
Me and my GF were joking about it 15mins before that we hadnt seen another Trophy all the way up from Essex and then one goes past.
My wonderful Girlfriend bought me this for Christmas nearly didnt get it in time, but i think it is awsome. The bloke that painted it will never do another Trophy pic again, so i am a very luck little chap.
Hope you like
Well I dont know if the guy has registerd yet but have seen him a couple of times around Braintree, pulled up outside MC D's a few weeks back as I saw what i Thought was a normal 172, Pulled in and noticed that it was a Trophy, started chatting to the lad made him aware of the site, and took...
Well as you may of relised I havent been around for a fair bit of time, mainly due to personal circumstances.
Well i am back now, unfortuanlty it looks as if my time with the Trophy may be ending, money issues have meant that i have had to look at ways of cutting cost and the obvious way that...
Right you lot, we seem to have a decent number of Trophy owners on the Forum now, and it has been decided that maybe it is time to sort out a big meet to get as many Trophys together in one place.
I am looking to get some ideas at the moment, and would love to hear some of your ideas.

Driving through Coggeshall area on Sat Mid day. Young lady driving (looked a little worried so i guess it was her first time driving the car)
I flashed and you waved, How was it own up LOL
:( Looks like the car is on its way back to Renault to have the faults sorted, only problem is they want to keep it for over a week, and NO Coursty car is available.
Still annoyed that it has taken them untill today to book me in and then to be told they are unable to lend me a car for the...
Was given a free induction kit by the guys at Powertec the other day.
Now i have already fitted my K&N Panel filter and is sounds great already, but was wondering what you lot think about the induction kit.
TBH i havent paid anything for it, so I am not losing anything by not fitting it...
Well as you may have guessed, picked the car up today, all fine until i decided to put a CD on and found the CD player doesnt work, I am missing a screw cap that fits into the door handle pocket thingy and the paint on the spoiler on the part which is hidden seems to be peeling.
Spoke to the...
Just a few pics of my 1 day old car, have used 1/2 tank of petrol already and my cheeks are hurting so much because of all the smiling i have been doing.
