handle

Yesterday my trophy developed this dodgy noise on the way back home from work, it was a pop followed by a scraping/cracking noise of metal on metal. I have checked the rear suspension over pretty thoroughly, and can't find any problems! The only things that i haven't eliminated are the dampers...

Hi fella's I know this has been covered many times but does anyone have any clear pictures of the thumb wheel preferably with it removed if not any close ups would be good. Also the strut top mount bearings, how much if any play should there be in them as the ones on mine look like they have...

Hi folks, Anybody going to the french car show this year or is there going to be any kind of group thing?

thoughts? I like the semi subtleness of it versus the full on Focus RS. Sadly daytime running lights are already becoming a cool chav addition so I'm not sure they'll do it any favours..

I used to have a red Fiat Coupe 20VT a few years back. Really fun little thing, didn't handle well but looked good and went pretty quick. BUT: it turned completely pink over two years as the pigment in the paint oxidised (or whatever it does). It was an R-reg and this was in 2002. So I'm...

Hi everyone - I've been knocking around the idea of getting a Trophy for a while now, and I'm going to be buying one very soon now. Quick question: is it best to get a bog-stock example (what I've always done in the past) or does the Trophy respond well to a cat-back pipe and a panel filter...

Well ive been daydreaming of owning a trophy since 2005 when they came out and ive finally got round to it! :D :D Hopefully its as good as i recon: 1 actual owner 24,000 miles Full service history very straight and clean good exaltos all round couple of honest stonechips but to be expected...

I'm thinking of upgrading my Cams. I've been looking at the K-Tec performance Cams and the Schrick Billet Camshafts off Yozzasport. Has anyone got these and can you tell me why the Shrick cams are £200 more expensive? They both claim to retain good idle etc. but do you know of any issues...

Hey guys, When I bought my Trophy a year ago the first thing I did was upgrade the brakes (to the little known CRN grooved discs and EBC RedStuff pads). I have to be honest they are actually very, very good (and I got them cheaper as they were part of a group buy in which my Good Lady also...

Right as an owner of a Trophy for the last few months we have all seen the horror stories surrounding the front dampers & the costs from the stealers involved in replacing them. Whilst looking into the dampers, you soon realise why they are 'so' good. Not your usual bolt on upgrade, but top...

A few of us decided to go out for a Sunday drive it was never intended to be a big meet but with the Sunday bad weather people started to have weather sickness lol However some of us decided the weather wasnt going to stop our fun, and I have to say it was a great day even tho I got...

Am fitting new discs and pads all round. The front looks straighforward but need some help with the rears. Ive just ordered some new rear discs and a pair of bearings to go with them. Can the ABS rings from the old discs be taken off and used on the new ones?

Just let my mate drive the trophy tonight, he drives a Corolla TSport which i have drove and is just as quick as the Trophy, actually when i was driving his TSport i had a tussle with a 197 and i was pulling towards it at the top of the revs in 2nd and 3rd gear. Thsi doesnt happen with the...

Im looking to lower the Trophy 10mm all around with a set of Eibach pro lowering springs, however, I cant find any on the internet, I saw a set on K-Tec which lowered the 182cup 20mm on the front and 15mm on the back, am I right in saying this would lower the trophy 10mm on the front and 5mm at...

Hello Everyone Many thanks already for the hundreds of tips and suggestions I've read so far. I don't actually own a Trophy yet but by the end of February I hope to have one nailed down. I was hoping I could get a little assistance from you all. Servicing: Clearly RenTech are the...

Mazda RX-7 1.3 Twin Turbo car in immaculate condition with new engine from Japan bought off ebay with 5mth unlimited mileage warranty. Is completley standard except for a bigger intercooler that makes it more reliable and increase the power from the standard 286bhp to over 330bhp ! A racing...

Afternoon all.... Newbie here!! Currently got a FF182, but now the Trophy seems to be luring me in... I was hoping you could help me out with a few things.. 1 - The warranty - I've heard that you can extend it with Renault, is this true, is it worth it? 2 - I've yet to get a test...

Has anyone had the 172/182 Inlet manifold / GDI ECU / Cam Package from gdi? Think it looks quite good 1500 quid for 200bhp and 180 torque, i spent about £800 on ecu, exhaust and induction for my old 182 and probably didnt get near 180 torque, maybe 157 torque but nowhere near 180...
