    No one's suggested it so I will, cocaine and hookers!

    RS192 Group Buy

    I lay claim to being the first to fit this system to a Trophy back in 2008. \:D/ :D and it's still going strong! I did a short guide of how to fit it with a few vids of what it sounds like. (tup)

    Creaking suspension noise from drivers side sachs damper

    The squeaking doesn't sound metalic, could be a bushing, check the anti-rollbar bushing or the top mounts.

    The car after #244

    Nice car, great pics, what camera/lens did you use for the pics if you don't mind me asking. I can never get that sharpness or depth with my compact!

    Three Peaks Challenge...

    Don't want to detract from the topic, so well done to Rick. I was completely done in when we got back to our rented cottage and left the kids to run around field to burn off more energy, I just put it down to their legs being quite new and mine are most definitely not! :lol: Would loved to...

    Three Peaks Challenge...

    Some "impressive" speeds in the car!! :shock: :oops: Just got back from the Lakes myself with my family. Did Skiddaw and Helvalyn to Red Tarn. Proud of my little 4 year old and her two sisters who needed no assistance from daddy to get to the top! :mrgreen:

    Begging! Can I borrow someones front dampers

    Buy a pair of cheap 182 Cup dampers. You sell them on later after you have refurb dampers fitted to recoup some of the cost.

    NEW CLIO WILLIAMS!

    If Honda can do 240bhp 2.0 NA engine, I'm sure Renault could too hence the price. Here's hoping.......

    What do you recon people?

    I don't see a problem with it to be honest. It's no different to fitting an aftermarket exhaust, MF springs, JMS Intakes, etc. IMO. At least it won't turn a shade of pink in the future!! :lol: The colour change won't take anything away from it being a Trophy and that is how it drives. It's...

    Help Me! Shocking brakes after refit

    Be extra careful with the pressure bleed system. Don't let the bottle containing the new fluid go empty or you'll end up putting more air in the brake system, more as the air is under pressure! According to the haynes manual bleed them in sequence: left front right front left rear right rear

    Help Me! Shocking brakes after refit

    Yep, sounds like you have air in the abs and apparently a real bitch to get the air out of the system. You may have to bleed the system again until all the air has gone and will take a lot of fluid to do this. You may have to take it to Renault so that they can connect it up to their...

    VW Golf 1.4 TSI Sport (2007) - Will px Clio Trophy

    water leak (i think)

    Yes, and it can cause permanent brain damage, so don't taste it whatever you do!

    Standard air box query??

    I have noticed the sluggish performance at times too. Was the same when I had a 172 years back. I can only attribute this to driving the car like "Miss Daisy" or when the car hasn't been driven for a while or doing a lot of short journeys. Taking the car out for regular "spirited" drives...

    water leak (i think)

    In a word.....no! though I guess if BoroGTI knows what coolant tastes like it must be a regular tiple for him. If he can taste the difference between unleaded and superunleaded then we might have some real talent here! :lol:

    front n/s shock problem?

    It's really difficult to guage any difference by pushing on top of the dampers. Best way is to have the door open and for you to stand on the doorsill and rock the car, or push the car up from the top of the door frame on each side. With this you can clearly see the difference in bounce. When...

    How do you get the 172cup interior engine soundtrack?

    Or you can forget the 172Cup sound and have a Ferrari V12 sound instead with one of these: http://www.memorybits.co.uk/shop/cleara ... v12a/20938

    Grinding/shuddering when going uphill

    Sound similar to what I get when the steering is on full lock on a cold morning at low speed. I get juddering through the steering wheel. I can only put it down how the suspension is setup on the Trophy with the camber and toe. On full lock, the inside wheel's steering angle is greater than...

    Lack of power

    Has it been remapped. I get this sometimes and I've found that giving the Trophy a good thrash seems to fix it.

    Metal above exhaust

    Just to note that aluminium will suffer corrosion when in contact with copper especially when water and salt is added to the mix. Best use regular grease.
