idle

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...

Morning Do any of you know the typical cost for a Clio RS 182 36K service from a dealship/non dealership?? My girlfriend had to fork out £370 inc VAT for her Cupped 182. That was not including any extra over parts that needed replacing. Is this reasonable?? Your thoughts would be...

Hi In the last couple of days when i've been driving hard the traction control and service warning lights flick on. When i press the traction control button it makes no difference - the warning light stays on! When i have had chance to stop i turn the engine off and back on - and both...

Hi guys, i have noticed that my 182 that i have had like two weeks is running a little rough when its ticking over idle, sounds more like a diesil sometimes!! is this the way they sound or is something wrong?? service is due very soon, and its first mot! so hopefully this will help it! Also...

Hi everyone! Just got myself a 2004 182 clio, black, had a golf 1.6 previously and my fiancee purchased a civic type r! So i needed a car that would keep up but not be silly evo expensive! I want to get an induction kit fitted and get the engine tuned, is this a good idea?? ( she still...

To be fitted tomorrow.

My car is now back from Ben, who fitted cams, modifed inlet and a re-map. His only concern was that as the car has only done 4,000 miles, all on the ex-factory full synhthetic oil, that the rings may still not be fully bedded in - wants me to use ordinary mineral for a while - and so installed a...

Anybody got any janspeed vids/pics and any thoughts welcome! Want a new exhaust, would love an orbisoud, but think £900 maybe too dear :( Cheers

Looking into possibly setting up an exhaust group buy and i've already spoken with a retailer who will try and help us out with regards to discounts. Basically the idea is in its infancy and first we would have to establish how many people are definitely interested and what products they would...

Hi guys/gals Looking at getting myself a group N ecu fitted as i have just got a milltek + performance filter want to get the Group N to bring it all together to get a nice little gain will also have the inlet matched too in time. Just wanted to see if anyone can shed some light and tell...

Took my Trophy up to Ben R's place on Wednesday along with a couple of mates and am staggered by the difference to my car. Mid range has improved dramatically and the torque is much more like a Williams now. If anyone wants a go in my car let me know? :D

Has anybody been infected with the petrol problem? Just been listhening to the news, said i no. :lol: Should think most people will be using V-Power from shell and wont have been affected. Thousands of people have had problems mainly using Morrisons and Tescos petrol. Now we all know why it...

Does your trophy 'rock' at the traffic lights?? Also when changing gear my wedding ring vibrates on gear knob between first & second.

Hi Everyone, I'm always nosing around on here and love the site, but I don't post very often. :oops: Hopefully this question is relevant to most standard trophy owners and I'm not the only one! I know that the brakes are the weakest link for the trophy, but I'm...

when i'm at a junction holding the revs at say 1500 it seems to pulse from 1500 - 2000rpm, and im sure that its not a jittery leg :lol: ? is this me or is the Trophy taking over!

Seems i'm always banging on with probs anyone any ideas with this? From cold can pull off but there is a total lack of power tiil it warms a little, plenty of revs but wiill just not move. Has only just started, admittedly have still only done 2k (i know shame on me) Sorry no idea what...

its ok

Big thanks to Opie Oils for my Silkolene oil, arrived 1 day after order. :D I'de Recommend them to all on the Forum :!:

As I had today off work I decided to modify the air-intake system on my Trophy by removing the air-valve located near the horn to see what would happen as most after-market CAI on the market (ITG Maxogen & Viper etc) recommend removing the valve on installation. To my surprise the cars feels...

Over on cliosport.net I have read many threads that describe the 182’s 5K kick. I had often thought that these threads over hyped the kick as I can only just feel an increase at 5200 revs in my Trophy, but recently I drove Steve’s (sm wrc) 182 and his car really does kick...

got a few thing sto sort out, 1) Emissions warning light started flashing today, not too serious I would hope, since I've got a bit of driving to do before I go in next week 2) Boot catch broken 3) Very lumpy idle for the first few minutes when the car is first turned on. Impossible to...

Aloha everyone... Was looking at the Oribsoud exhaust recently and it got me thinking... what benefit would it offer, say, a Janspeed or Ktec unit? It is afterall almost £300 more expensive... Thoughts? I am going down the road of marketing strategy but havn't heard/seen one in...

As per the topic titled, my intermittent problem with my water/coolant temp gague have now developed into a constant issue, and now the car does not ever register the correct temp - which at least should make it easier for the technicians to identify the problem! Will get the car booked in...

The recent posts about the types of chips/ecu that you can get for the Trophy has got me very interested in the subject. Trying to work out what is the best of the options available. The chips/ecu's I know about so far are as follows: Replacement ECU with R'sport map - The type that Nik...

Nik, do you have the Group'N' ecu fitted to your Trophy yet? What's the verdict? Which one did you go for – STD or for use with CAI? 7MAT

Off to Halfrauds to get a bit of top up oil. Is it o.k to mix makes? Which type should i get. Sorry if there is already an oil post, if ther is Nik can you make it a sticky one. Cheers

Hello all I've now done almost 2k miles and the car is really loosennig up. Seems to thrive on being driven hard. averaging 31mpg which is not bad overall. Couple of issues: 1. Sometimes the rev limiter kicks in at 6400rpm. To stop this i stop and restart the engine. I thought it...

Looking at the air intake behind the n/s headlamp it appears to have an external bellows connected to the inlet manifold by a vacuum pipe. Presumably this is to do with emissions? Does anyone know exactly how it works and what happens if the pipe is disconnected, as I would guess is the case...

Alright just done 930miles and doesn't really seem as quick as the clio 182 cup I took out with the dealer. I could really feel the kick at 5000-5500rpm but don't seem to feel it in the trophy. The dealer told me of a person with a trophy when I was going to order one so telephoned the person so...
