Rather than start a new thread I thought I'd drag this one from the archives.
As me and #54 have been together 11 years on the 1st of September (and I want to use my private plate thats already on the clio) I thought I'd get a Trophy orientated reg.
So I've just bought T80PHY, the...
I know of meganes (plus F4RT powered Clio's and Renault fives) with 182 cams in them, ran in both the advanced and retarded positions and it doesn't make much difference. The new megane has both wilder cams and incremental VVT not the basic switch on a 182. I'm sure that will of been the sales...
Hmmm Tempting but having two Turbo Trophy's is being Greedy.
I think if someone swapped the Turbo to a Garrett Turbo it would reduce the amount of torque and increase the longevity and reliability of the gearbox.
The lad who originally done the conversion was messaging me at one point on CS...
On a different note, your trophy is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Personally I wouldn't touch it.
A fine example of this is my little brother bought a fully forged home built R26 megane from a guy who prided himself on being an Aston Martin Technician, to date I've had to redo 90%...
The most I've seen is 83mm but ktec list wossners in an 84mm diameter. Personally I try to keep everything in stock dimensions, makes things easier to replace without machining things.

I agree Jules, anyone can ask any price for anything, but the truth is its unlikely to sell unless some incredibly naive person buys it. We've both been around the Renault scene long enough to see how people get on with forced induction clios, most people bail on them real quick when things...
Personally I think your dreaming, as mentioned your car sounds far from immaculate and the fact that it has a SC strapped to it just screams that a mechanical failure is inevitable. Its like every other modified clio, if someone can't maintain and repair it themselves then they are at the mercy...
Crazy that I've had my Trophy ten years, ordered it as soon as it was announced, but delayed collection till Sep as I needed the 55 reg for my private plate.
I spotted two over the weekend, one heading south on the M42 on Sat night, the other on Sun was sporting a massive dent in the drivers door in Solihull. Was in my vectra shed though so didn't bother waving lol
I'm not holding out much hope on my renewal, last time I paid £510 for my 374bhp Trophy all mods declared.
But since then I've left the RAF and moved back home. Just insured my Vectra CDTI Design £496 :(
Can't wait to see what my quote will be for a 400+ Trophy......
As it stands I've got 9...
