The time has come to move my Trophy on. It has wanted for nothing while in my ownership and has been garaged all the time. It had a full belts service in May and has done 56,000 miles. It has had various upgrades over the years,this will give you a flavour. Ktec Cat and exhaust system. Rear...

Car is the same. I have ditched the carbon door bullets Now back to standard. Shane

Hi Are these easy to fit? I am having a new timing belt fitted by the local Renault Dealer. I don't want some numpty getting it wrong. We have no specialists here in Northern Ireland. Thanks Shane

Hi Do these just fit straight in and work with the Renault VVC. also does the ECU need remapping to work properly. Thanks Shane

Will try and do that. I will hopefully have the car back before Xmas. Shane

Yes was thread on main shaft. But the dealer is sorting that out. Both shocks were refurbed last year so should be OK. The flywheel came from Ktec,the Renault service guy said he couldn't believe the difference in weight and says the engine revs much more quickly now. The Top mounts came from...

The modifying bug has bitten again.What a nightmare for my Credit Card. Had to replace the clutch so I thought lets put in a light weight flywheel. But then I couldn't stop myself and the following has been done. 1.Flywheel 2.KTR Cat and Exhaust 3.Solid top mounts 4.Rear ARB 5.Uprated engine and...
