    What do you all think?

    What do you all think of the new Focus RS? I'm wondering whether, after three and a half years of Trophy ownership, it might be time to P/X it against a new RS. The Megane R26R has been considered but is too much of a compromise, we're a one car house and I drive mostly motorway miles.Thoughts...

    Team Dynamics 15" with R888's

    Alas, the car has been sold :( So these little beauties need a new home. They are Team Dynamics ProRace 2's - 15" x 7" with an offset of ET40, so only a 5mm differance from the original trophy wheels. I've used them on my 182 with no problems whatsoever. The wheels have covered approximately...

    Can I claim on the warranty???

    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...

    Wiring Diagram

    Has anyone got a copy of the Trophy wiring diagram? Also does anyone know what rating the main fuse is? Talking of the main fuse, i'm sure Renault could have done a more practical version of this. from a quick look earlier when i was fitting the maxogen, if for some reason you was to blow this...

    Maxogen pictures

    I've managed to pick up a 2nd hand Maxogen kit, but at 1st sight it seems that the battery will need re positioning to fit the filter in place, if anyone's got any pictures of there engine bay with the maxogen fitted it would clear a few things up. Also the smaller pipe that t's off the inlet...

    Will Trophies turn pink over time?

    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 all, Just checked my oil (I use silkolene Pro S 5W-40) and I was under the impression fully synthetic oil should be clear(ish). Mine has, in the 1200miles since I changed it gone a dark brown, almost black. I have done a trackday though, although I wouldnt think it would turn it that colour...
