gears

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone owns or has owned a Megane R26? I've been toying with the idea of buying a Megane since having a test drive in a Megane R26R. I absolutely loved the R26R, just the noise alone is amazing! but it's a little unpractical for everyday driving, which is what I would...

I've had my Trophy for over 3 years now and I love it, it's the longest I've kept a car out of choice (I once had a 106 diesel for a lot longer when I was a poor student). When I'm being sensible I plan on keeping it forever as I truely think it will be a special motor in years to come, I...

Has anyone seen this? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2981 Seems like a good buy. How much do they cost to service, and how often?

i normally drive with music from the word go, but recently i havent been, and noticed something new. when i start the car for the first time in the cold weather and pull away theres a beep right before i change gears though 1st 2nd and occassionally 3rd(maybe 2-3500 revs), not a loud one but a...

A number of ‘add-on’ additives intended to improve the performance of commercially available automotive lubricants have been marketed in recent years, under such names as ‘Xxtralube ZX-1’, ‘Metol FX-1’, ‘PPL Anti-Friction’ and ‘Activ-8’.All such products share the following characteristics with...

My original exhaust is pretty much rotten through now, and the left back box is rattling plus the clamp holding the cat to the main system is rotten and strangely has somehow become loose so that it rattles too?! I've been looking around at what to replace it with and not really sure which way...

Hi all, After picking up the Trophy about 2 weeks ago now, I've finally had time to start a Trophy #383 thread after driving with a :mrgreen: everywhere So here are some pics that I took when I first got the car home: then I gave the car a good wash/wax after coming back from Sherbourne...

Or is it ok or is higher octane ron best?

To make room for this: :twisted:

any one got one? i heard theres one kicking around the durham area?

Which one would I be best off buying? I don't do many miles as I work away so I drive mainly at weekends. So it got me thinking a diesel might probably cost more than a petrol. But the diesel cupra has sooooo much torque! But I have heard they can torque steer out of corners! Which could be a...

As above really..but which idiot at Renault decided to fit the boggo gear knob?? My 172 Cup had leather so why not this??

Dear All, After getting back from South Wales today, I would like to ask: what is the best technique for carrying speed into and out of a corner in a Trophy? I know all corners are different: different gears required, different braking points, different throttle pressure etc, but is there a...

have the trophies got a 6 speed gearbox?

i was having a chat with some of the lads at work about cars and one of the new guys at work is getting picked up from his brother who has an evo vi tommi makinen in silver, i asked if he could take us out in it as i was thinking of getting one so me mate a work rang up his bro and asked for me...

ive just been on the k tech website and they now have a low presure turbo kit for all 182s, and they will take it to rs tuning in leeds for a custom remap (3 hours worth)it all cost around the 3k mark, on their graph is says its putting out 212 bhp and about 200 ib ft so that would put its power...

Does anyone know/have one fitted, whether there is a big difference between the Janspeed sports and supersports versions?Obviously noise but is the supersports much louder? sorry to go on.. :oops: but also would the 2.5" bore on the KTR ultra janspeed make much difference? Merci

Was driving on an A road at speed and needed to slow down, however, the car did not slow down as it should and literally had to press the pedal till it would go no further. The car eventually slowed to a stop right up behind the car in front waiting at the round about. He must have thought I...

Today my cover on the gearstick came off and the clips have broke off, Anyone know how much it costs for a new one and is it easy to change yourself. cheers phillip

ive found some pics of the new clio sport 200 which hence the name gives you 3 bhp more than standard and looks well............ugly as hell!, thats my opinion. found out that the cup version will be 36kg lighter than the normal version too and the gearing for the first 3 gears is shortend again...

my engine warning light has poped on my dash again and last time cost me £30 to remove it. ive seen on k tech website they have a code reader there you can buy for the clio, and you can remove the light yourself. its done this now twice in 9 months so anybody know about this code reader and are...

Hi everyone, Yet another couple of questions...... The Trophy I bought last Saturday still has 2 months warranty remaining (the advance one), as it was bought by the last owner as a Renault used car only 10 months ago. I'm used to French cars having problems, but as I've still got this...

Hi all, I don't post much on here, but I thought there would be a higher number of Orbisoud exhaust owners here than on CS. I'm after a bit of feedback on the exhaust systems. I've had mine on the car for quite a few months and considering the price of the system I've got to admit I was...

Hi, Had my trophy just over a month now and loving it! Number 368 This sites great, a real help especially as I have the least amount of mechanical knowledge you can possible imagin... :lol: I recently brought a Pipercross Venom induction kit, after fitting it i felt mixed results in...

ive managed to download playstation home and its quite cool, you interact with other ps3 online users and can do all sorts of things like bowling and pool or buy new furniture for your apartment which you get. anyway if there any ps3 owners here that are online and have a user id name and have...

Hi there. Ive just had my Cam Belt, Aux belt and water filter changed. I test drove it after and got a funny sound in low revs when i floored it in 1st. Sounded like the air box had been left off, but only at low revs and when i floored it. Anyway, took it back to the mechanic and he tightened...

The additional power from a nitrous system can be very addictive and because its such a simple job to increase the power (quickly changing a couple of jets), most users decide to take quick steps up the power ladder. It must however be remembered, that each step places increased demands on the...

There seems to be a worryingly high number of Trophy's that have had their gearbox replaced. I know most people drive them enthusiastically but the number still 'appears' high considering the relatively low mileage and age of these cars. Am interested to get an idea: 1. How many T's have had...

i have this problem with my gearbox every morning when i finish work, its just impossible to change gears at times. 5th gear is the worst and everytime i change up to 5th it gets that grinding noise, but when im 5 mins from home its all ok , gearbox feels goods so i think it must be the cold...

think im gunna get my car dyno tested next month, but wanna know what trophies out there have had it done and what bhp and torques figures you have. would be intersting to see this with some cars standard and some modded and compare them
