    The dreaded Aux belt service

    Hope your right, sorry lucky. As many have failed & seen horendous damage as a result. If the aux snaps you will be lucky not to have the cambelt shredded also. Was several threads on RS where they had, had this happen some were low miles. I understood Renault techs say 3yrs 36K. Not worth...

    No. If you drive a Trophy hard on country lanes the brakes melt, fact :lol: Possibly the Trophys weak point :?:

    Which Brake Pads? Tyres overheating?

    Standard is pap unless for poping to the shops. Ds 2500 & brembo HC'c & good fliud are fantastic fast road but as mentioned not the best on track. Amm's trophy with the PF97's had the best stopping power but traded off against paint damage etc. The R888's go off very quick indeed if over...

    197 Cup or 230 R26

    Tried both before choosing the Cup. Jimboss is close the meg has lsd & turbo, was it cupped? The 197 Cup has the same brakes, revo knuckle, less weight etc so the stopping, turn in etc are way better. If you like wringing the arse off your Trophy the 197 Cup is defo the car for you, as...

    The dreaded Aux belt service

    Renault replace all belts if cam cover is removed as they found many failed after this had been disturbed. Had mine done at 16K :D FOC =D> Another reason the Trophys all came up for sale at same time as owners realised the size of bills [-X

    Glad you enjoyed you test flight think Marrow enjoyed his in the T [-X . The more miles i do the more it affirms i made the right decision. Several have mentioned the brakes, g/box, seats, handling etc, but it's the package. The Rs engineers defo moved the goalposts. To say the 197 isn't...

    Paint Fade

    The wax is the important bit, once polished just keep topping up the wax. Only ever polished mine in the spring rest of the time a good wax was used. If your lazy Collinites think it's 746 in the tin is perfect :lol:

    Reliability

    If you drive it like a girl you will be fine. If you drive it like it was intended to be driven things will go wrong, but nothing the warranty wasn't able to fix in my case :lol:

    Top Mounts - Help

    As the rubber top mount with bearing compresses so the gap gets bigger. You have already said you have added more camber hence the angle :D It's a crap design.

    197 cup

    Correct. Now they are bedded in i can say they are fooking awesome. Only down side is more road noise due to very stiff tyre walls, ala r888. In the dry they are emense & for the couple of wet days we have had i started slowly as was wary of them letting go. But after a few runs through the...
