Okay, cheers for that guys. I noticed it when trying to repair my cat to middle box joint. It's blowing very bad from this joint and also rattling so I need to get it fixed. Would I be best to get a new exhaust system and if so which one ? Also would I notice any performance improvements ?

Clio Trophy 288 here on 17K, Always garage only comes out in this nice weather :) My first Trophy i wrote off 3 years ago (Trophy no.180) 12K on the clock :(

The exhaust manifold on my T seems to have a large dent. Where the manifold comes down past the anti-roll bar there is a large dent however this seems to be in the perfect position for it to fit around the anti-roll bar. Not sure whether or not this is supposed to be there. If the engine has...

I'm 6'5 and I fit in my little red pocket rocket fine :) It's a bonus to as it means you sit next to the B post which saved my life when I crashed Trophy No. 180 !

Took all my bolts out, cleaned them and put a light coating of grease over them as I don't have a lacquer atm. They have come up good.

My Trophy has been sat in the garage now for a long time and the wheel bolts have gone very rusty! I could take them off and give them a brush up with a wire brush and polish them up with some wire wool, but for them to rust they have obviously lost a protective coating of some sort??? Any one...

Spotted last night (30/03/12) around 20:00 in the arena car park Letchworth Town

I can get 48MPG driving to Portsmouth from Hertfordshire at a constant 56mph

Hi all, I don't drive my T throughout the winter and over this period of time I SORN it off the road. My T is still off the road in my garage and has not been started up or moved in over 5 months. I'm worried that leaving the engine off in the same position over this length of time will cause...

Ill sell you mine ... immaculate condition 16,000 miles, major service 500 miles ago, always garaged 11K ??

there's no knocking and the top mounts are fine. One of the top comments i think from moono describes it best, as if the tires are hopping and you are correct in saying one wheel feels like its doing it more than the other. One other thing that i noticed, when parked up and the T is near full...

I have had two Trophys both which have done this. When parking and wheels near full lock the steering wheel becomes light and wants to go onto full lock its self as if the wheels are tilted over. Also if the road is wet the T front tires slip very easily when turning. It never bothered me as i...

Re: RS2 Manifold For Sale Why so little miles with it on ? Did you not like it ?

I'll keep my eyes peeled :D

Felix your the same as me, I don't modify my trophy in away way even down to the head unit. There's a very good garage down the road from me called finish line. They are one of the best body work garages around and there paint matches are perfect. I'm good friends with the owner who is good...

IT'S VERY LONG I KNOW BUT PLEASE READ COULD BE VERY HELPFUL Eventually gave up with the fault finding for the slight lack of response and power from the trophy myself so I handed it over to a Renault sport specialist who plugged it into the laptop. The first piece of software did not show up...

Is this normal ?? When driving (more noticeable in 5th gear going down motorway) if i come off the throttle the T makes a quiet hissing type noise from I think is coming from engine bay. If I then go back onto the throttle noise disappears !! What is it ??

Thanks for the advice guys, the car is now on just over 14k And the guy is real good mates with the guys from Renault, next Tuesday my mechanic is removing the original Renault mapping and re installing it, he thinks it could be a mapping fault, he doesn't seem to think its timing.

That's true, but is he correct in saying the car if not timed properly will flag up lights on the dash ? or can the timing be out slightly and no lights present ??

The guy says timing cant be out as if it was it would be flagged up as lights on the dash ... ?

As many of you may be aware and if so now probably becoming quite bored with my posts on my T lacking in power I'm sorry however I may have just found it !! Well keeping it short here it is ... With the trophy parked (in neutral) idle is very lumpy but this is normal for the 182's, when I...

And if so ... hopefully that will be my problem solved !!

True ! Either way a correctly running engine at around 3000 rpm should not shake at all. And if the revs are increased or decreased the shaking stops which leads me to think maybe the engine is not advancing correctly at this rev band maybe ???

How was the rabbit ? :lol:

Yeah but the shaking is coming from the engine new mounts that would be stiffer would make the shake more noticeable

No the whole car vibrates when parked

Oi !! that's unfair aha :lol:

Spotted today at 2:45pm at Lister Hospital nice plate , V9 ARM

Alright Alright it was just an idea (boring old farts) :lol: Ohh and I didn't sell T no.180 :roll: It was a bit worse :oops:

Excellent pics !! Renault by far manufacture some of the nicest looking sports cars. Some very nice cars and a very clean trophy :)
