    Ah, my old car :D As CJ.OK has said in his advert I am the previous owner of 322. I've kept in touch with Craig since he bought the car, i can vouch that this car is a top notch example still. Had i not of just bought a new car i wouldn't hesitate about buying 322 back :cry: Gman

    Clutch change

    My 172 cup is on 61k with the original clutch, I think it's time is nearly up as the biting point is rather high now. I also have the squeaking when excessively hot on track too, after it cools down and with a few uses on the road it always returns to normal. How much are most places charging...

    Nurburgring Lap

    The last two times i've been there i've seen nasty accidents at Schwedenkreuz both M3s, and two of my favourite models, a E46 CSL and a E30 M3 EVO. Have you got the Michelin PE2s on your trophy? I've got them in trophy size on my cup and i was getting similar squeal but apparently you couldn't...

    I Paid £530 for the following on my 172 cup. cambelt and pulley kit auxiliary belt water pump dephaser pulley It's an easier job on the 172cup and there are not auxiliary belt pulleys to replace so i'd say it's in fitting with what everyone else has been paying roughly. Would be interested to...

    Latest evo

    I've recently bought myself a 172 cup and really can't wait to get it on track and see how it goes compared to my old trophy, on the road they are very different cars, the main thing being how well the trophy rides bumpy b roads, the cup feels like it has slightly firmer suspension and...

    Pagid Blues at Yozzasport

    I've tried to buy some bits off there twice now, the first time he kept promising to get in touch but never did so i sent him a message saying i'd like to cancel the order and that i understood that he was very busy at the time and that i would just put it down to bad timing and that i would...

    Back in a clio..........

    Alright Ajr, I'll keep my eyes peeled, when i sold the T i looked at getting a 200 cup, had a couple of test drives but never really felt sure enough to part with the Trophy, after driving a few Meganes i thought that was the car for me but i never really took to it like i did the Clio. I'll be...

    Egged an an alloy...maybe?

    You'd be surprised how many wheels have very slight flat spots in the rear of them, Without seeing it it's hard to say but as Mat said get it balanced and get them to check to make sure it's not too bad and that it's not cracked. Those wheels are pretty robust so you should just be ok with a...

    Back in a clio..........

    After selling my Trophy back in 2009 i bought myself a Megane R26 as a replacement, from day one i never found it as exciting as the Trophy, i wasn't even excited the night before i went to pick it up! After 6 months of owning the Megane and going from days of loving the torque and the sheer...

    Pilot Sport 3

    A few people on the Megane forum are running these tyres now, from what i've read so far they offer very similar grip to the PS2 in the dry but are a lot better in the wet, and the PS2's aren't exactly shy in wet conditions!

    Pot Holes

    I hit the biggest i've seen so far tonight on the way home, i haven't looked at the wheels ot tyres yet but the 5 miles after hitting it seems fine so fingers crossed!! Especially as i've just paid out £180 a tyre for the car! One plus point to Megane ownership i guess is the shocks are ten a...

    Brake Switch and washer nozzles

    Go to Renault, they really aren't that expensive!! The brake pedal switch will be about £10+vat and i can't see the washer nozzle being all that expensive, to be honest i think you'll struggle getting them two bits anywhere else. There are a two different brake pedal switches if i remember...

    Advise Required

    Hi and welcome, The only other thing to look out for over a regular 182 is the front shocks. The Trophy's have Sachs shocks which aren't as well sealed as standard shocks so it's worth checking that they aren't leaking, most have had their shocks rebuilt now which costs around about £350-450...

    Trophy GL55 Crowborough

    You posted in on this forum you were from there. It can bite but it's a cool road, the T was much more fun down there than the meg but the meg does nip along there quite quickly! Lived in wadhurst before but have lived in the borough for the last 14years or so. A mate lives over broadoak so...

    Artdealer, did you not have a trophy on coilovers for sale a long time ago? I seem to remember talking to you about one when i was looking out for my trophy?!?!

    ESP

    I always left mine on, and i always leave it on in the Megane. I've driven a fair few cars with many electrical driver aids and i honestly think that renaults have the best systems, or maybe that should read the least intrusive systems. You can really throw the clios (and meganes) about without...

    Megane Trophy

    My R26 averages about 26 with steady driving, i can get it up to the 30s but thats just driving using as little throttle as possible everywhere, when out just having a spirited drive i usually see 20-23mpg. If anyones considering a Megane drive as many variants as possible as they do vary quite...

    Clio 200

    I drove one just before selling my T, my (very) brief description would be that it handles extremely well has more grip than a trophy is built very well stops very well but ultimately for me the Trophy is so so much more 'fun' when getting back into the trophy on the way home it just felt so...

    Why I sold my Trophy

    No Green is the best RS colour!!! Skint, I'm skint enough going from a Clio to a Megane, also made me realise just how economical the Trophy is, been getting low 20s day to day in the megane! And don't get me started on £180 a corner for tyres! Really looking forward to getting a go in one of...
