    throttle jammed in my trophy

    If your unhappy how Renault are dealing with the issue, my advise is to take it to an independent comapny and get them to provide full documentation of any faults how ever small they may be. Then you can present these to your dealership with a letter stating that you want the faults fixed, at...

    I was thinking about picking up a set of Turinis as well, but figuered that it would cost me around £600 for the full set.

    Stupid question

    Cheers Nik, for some reason i dont seem to have the normal handbook, really should of checked when i picked the car up. On another note, if i do have a slow punture, where is the cheapest place to get a new Exalto.

    ** Yozzasport 182 Decat Group Buy Offer **

    Oh right thats great, just needed to get that clarifyed. What would happen when it comes to service time and the light is illuminated. Would Renault go down the route of checking the system, or would i be best advising them before the car was booked in like i do with the K&N Panel Filter???

    WRX driver gets shock of his life!

    I close friend of mine has a new WRX Impreza, totally standard, and i have followed him down the country roads a couple of times now, it is impossible to keep up with it, only time i can catch it is when he drops out of boost or under heavy breaking. I find it hard to belive that the Trophy...

    ** Yozzasport 182 Decat Group Buy Offer **

    DAM YOU YOZ. I really want one but funds are a little tight. :( £140 is resaonable anyway, so even if the offer ends I may still get one at a later date.

    Looking to upgrade bulbs

    PMSL after 5 years of owning Clios I still end up with grazed nuckles and cuts on my hands. Even worse when you drop the bulb down below the headlamp unit. Thinking of employing an elf to change the bulbs next time LOL

    Spax springs now available for Trophy

    When i spoke to Eibach a few months back they said that Sachs who they deal with and use to make the Eibach suspension kits, use a custom (Yellow) spring on the front of the car and a Standard spring (Black) for the Trophy. From what i can gather Yellow springs are a custom design from Eibach...

    Strut Braces - any good on a clio

    The idea of a strut brace is to eradicate or at least reduce the flex from the chassis/body. When done correctly the car feels totally different to drive, turn in is much crisper, and handling is better. That is a very basic description of how they work.

    Looking to upgrade bulbs

    I went to Halfords and bought the super brillance bulbs, buy one get one free, I have had them in every car i have owned and they are excellent. Well worth the money. I have also used the PIAA bulbs which are expensive but give an amazing light output. All depends on how far you...

    Strut Braces - any good on a clio

    I agree with KS there is no point what so ever putting in a strut brace which is held in with self tappers, unless you want the engine bay to look pretty. I have a friend who has a Nova which is totally stripped out running 250Bhp Calibra Turbo lump. When it came to fitting front a rear...

    Spax springs now available for Trophy

    As Nik said even using one of the best springs on the market, the standard shocks on the car, are having alot more stress put on to them, mainly due to the fact that the piston is made to sit 20mm higher in the strut and there for when the car on std springs would hit the bump stop a car lowered...

    Spax springs now available for Trophy

    TBH the car handles great the way it is, it is already running Eibach sportlines front and rear anyway, and from my expereince both using Eibach and been a seller of there products, i would choose Eibach over any other brand on the market. Granted dropping the car 20mm will make it look...

    Locating a Trophy

    Theres a couple on Ebay at the moment as well. There is a small chance you may still be able to get an unregistered one as well but you will have to look for them.

    Two Trophies on ebay.

    The full fat ones just look a bit to much especially with the number on them as well. I agree with you that the normal ones are nicer and they actually save the sill from getting scratched, but on a Trophy, the way i look at it is keep it the way Renault made it. Even though i am putting...
