mpg

(finally) Picked up No250 today and drove it home the long way from Essex to Surrey, avoided the M25 as much as possible, and then spent the whole night grinning, much to the wifes concern. Keep looking out the window wandering when I can next go for a long drive......to think I nearly bought a...

After much debate over what car to get I finally decided on the golf. Picked it up last Wednesday and loving it so far. The power is awesome and the noise is special. Trophy was a close second but the golf managed to win :) Little sunlight to show any cleaning done but for those...

I have fallen in love with all vechiles BMW m3 so in 6 months time and a lot of saving i am going to get one . I have never driven one so any comments on handling performance mpg .

http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evospyshots/2 ... us_rs.html ...and I want one already. Yes, too heavy, forced induction, blah blah blah but it's going to have over 300bhp and weigh less than an EVO X, it will rock. I feel sorry for all those poor sods in their ST's with Wolf and GGR kits...

Now that the red beast has died (see R.I.P. #230 post in clio discussion) I've got my eye on a Ford Focus RS. On looking through tuning mags such as Performance Ford I noticed that a number of people have tuned their RS's to 400bhp and beyond, however, their 0-60 times haven't improved in...

Just going to chill & have fun \:D/ Merry X mas everyone & happy new year, drive safe...... (tup)

Hey guys! After a really easy and pleasant sale with Dallas (duffer) I am now the proud new owner of #154, woohooo! (Cheers Dallas - top guy!) Thanks to everyone for their help with pointing out cars that were for sale and for giving me assistance with things to look at. :) Trophy...

We have discussed before about what fuels work best with the Trophy and I mentioned in another thread that I was going to do my own mini survey! So here it is - in all its succinct glory! :lol: I've always sworn by Optimax (superceded by V-Power as we know) so have used that primarilly with...

Just found this, anyone used these kits? http://www.reverie.ltd.uk/shop/products.php?g1=4b6d8f

What mpg do you guys get from your trophys? My brother gets 30 on average around town but i get 26? But we do the same driving? Im thinking there might be something wrong with mine.

What are the main things I should check for when viewing trophys? :)

...what would it be, and why? No budget limits, but remember that although it will be given to you, you will have to fill it up with fuel and service it and this is your only car for the rest of your life, so if you EVER need a boot or have more than two friends, the Maccer isn't the obvious...

Has anyone remapped their trophy?, anyone got a group n ecu? And if so how do you rate it, is it worth it etc.. Will it damage your engine / completely invalidate the warrenty Any info would be great :?:

Reading some of the posts lately by people casually dropping things about the car like being able to disable the RAID by holding the switch down, checking the oil level electronically (a gem) and pulling the seat base forward, I thought there may be some other useful nuggets that all owners may...

Hi I've been a proud owner of a Trophy for about a month or so now. I'm getting to the 12,000 mile service and was wondering if any of you kind folk knew of any specialists (non-renault) that would be capable of servicing the Trophy in the Devon/Exeter/Somerset region without invalidating the...

I'm thinking of doing it and I know you block off the small pipe going to the block, but how have people blocked off the pipe? I don't really want to go shoving chewing gum down the pipe :oops: I'm guessing some kind of plug with maybe a jubilee clip to hold it into place?

I've bought the Peugeot 106 Rallye LHD from Lee, should be delivered down in the next couple of days. With it's Bilsteins and Eibach upgrades it's kind of a spiritual (older) sister to the Trophy so I thought I'd post on here as most would appreciate the mods he's done to it.

Beginning to get used to the power/speed of my trophy now and not far off paying it off in full, fancy an upgrade, i love the handling but would like at bit more power at the top end. Having looked at k-tech site and Yozzasport quite like the look of a throttle body/ turbo conversion, pref...

I'm going up to the Lake District in a couple of weeks, can anyone recommend any good roads up there?

Only ever use this is anyone the same? Do you think it makes a difference?

I'm considering parting from my princess. She's just celebrated her first birthday ('55' year registration) and completed 8,000 miles - me as the first and only (mature) owner. Never tracked or dinged - fuel computer averaging 33.9 mpg over past 4,000+ miles! Always run on Optimax / V-Power...

All I can say is put away your prized possession for the winter and buy this little gem. 2004/04 Clio Dynamique dCi 100bhp in Silver Met with Climate and usual Dynamique sporty spec. 36000m and offered at £6995, but deals done and trade up or down etc etc. A rare car the price of which goes...

Wanted: Immaculate Trophy Must be a cherished one owner, low mileage (preferable below 6,000 miles) car with no trackdays or accident damage and HPI clear. Car must also be close to perfect i.e no scratches, dents, chips, kerbing etc. Enthusiast private buyer with cash waiting for the...

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...

As some of you will know, I am in the market for a Trophy. However, I first have to sell my TT which is happening, albeit slowly! Anyway, here are a few questions to get me started: 1. Will the Trophy run adequately on regular fuel i.e. 95 RON? 2. Would you recommend using 97+ RON? If...

My local normal rip off shell garage that sold optimax at 105.9 has just changed to v-power. Better still it's going for 99.9!!! I had a huge smile on my face at the pump when i saw it was v-power and 99.9 then i thought to myself how sad am i!!! lol :lol: Anyone else filling up on this...

any of you guys at spa (francorchamps) at the weekend? spotted you eez reg plate in front of me then you pulled over to let me through after t11 or 12 i think. i was the fq400 grey with carbon boot and bonnet. the trophy was looking rather good still wish id bought one if just for the mpg!!!

What do you guys think as a good front/rear balance for standard every day driving?! Any idea of an optimum balance?

A new personal best!! Although i was getting a little worried!
