Now the whole steering column is off, damn french cars! Thankfully i have a much lower mileage mint column here that i shall be fitting shortly when i regain momentum :twisted: 427 goes on wednesday :( :cry: :cry: :cry:

And i feel so sad knowing i won't be able to driver Mr T :( One of my good friends has offered me a good deal with his 106 GTi track car resprayed dark grey in part ex so i can use that on track and not worry about it so much and more or less clear my outstanding balance on the clio! Bonus...

It's been a while since i've taken some photos of number 427. I have also been neglecting the paintwork but as i've been loving driving it again recently my love has been reignited :D Weapon of choice: Plus a huge selection of products. I got bored after 4 hours though. Tomorrow i will get...

Short story, my clio has bankrupt me and i need to fix it before i sell it in order to sort out my finances. Damn i miss driving it though, this is the first time i've not driven it for more than 2 days since i got it 13k miles ago :( Long story: I loved trophies when they were released but was...

Hey all! I have refitted the standard head unit and some cheap speakers to my trophy. Therefore i have my focal component setup for sale! These speakers are designed for high sound quality and in a different league to the usual crap you see in the shops. Here are a few details: 2-way 13cm...

A nice clean trophy pulled out in front of me just by the common and turned off into rusthall. Who was it? We must have 5 owners within a small area, we should get together for a photoshoot soon. One of my mates is a proper pro photographer and wants to do some more experimental stuff with...

I have a trade account with speedline UK which hasn't been used for AGES as i just don't have time to sell car parts any more on top of my main job & building various peoples track cars. Anyway i rang up earlier to order a new chrono for my track 106 as one of mine bit the dust in a high speed...

Saw another T driver both mornings going the other way. Looks like the same guy i saw on the newchapel road a good while back. Got a flash so presumably he's on here :) Makes it one more local trophy, they are lurking =D>

Sorry for yet another mpg thread, but i find it quite an interesting subject! I filled up after work on thursday(shell 95 as was only option), drove home, average was 46mpg by the time i'd got back. Still hovering around 43mpg after work the next day. Drove up to central london at 8pm, still at...

Saw a trophy owner twice today in worthing! Got a thumbs up so presumably he noticed me =D> Question is, is the owner on here?

Yesterday my trophy developed this dodgy noise on the way back home from work, it was a pop followed by a scraping/cracking noise of metal on metal. I have checked the rear suspension over pretty thoroughly, and can't find any problems! The only things that i haven't eliminated are the dampers...

I had read a blog from a team that races 172s and they had said that the rear wheel bearings were a consumable item and needed replacing pretty often. Yesterday i changed my rear brakes & bearings for brand new genuine renault bits, and also cleaned several tonnes of crap off the inside of my...

Hi! Due to some idiotic driving i need a drivers side mirror or cap painted capsicum red. Please PM me ASAP if you know of someone breaking a trophy, as i desperately need a mirror. Cheers

Scary half hour for me and 427 earlier! My road is one car wide and generally crap, went to see a mate, or tried to! Got to a very steep hill(going down) with some sharp corners and huge banks each side, a few people have lost control and rolled there! Anyway going very slow, abs kicks in and...

Myself and some friends ran a rolling road day for our club, 30 cars run in total! Mr T managed: 184.6bhp @ 6970rpm 148.9lb/ft @ 5790rpm For a completely standard engine i'm quite impressed, and it's on 50k now so well used, apparently the F4R makes more power with decent mileage on it! Goes...

:oops: Fed up of my broken trophy suspension, i'll need to get some temporary suspension to use while the sachs are up being refurbed at the front, and i'll have to shell out £200-300 for some koni or sachs rear dampers. Then i think, why not just chuck some bilstein or H&R coilovers on...

Has a Shed Motorsport shoot today. Not a massive fan of fisheye but then the photographer is... Few other tasters: Dunno why i ended up at the back :oops:

I get a deep creak/groan sort of noise when pulling away. And no it's not the ABS system, it does it whenever pulling away from a standstill. Only started this week really, and i think it's related to my worn wishbone balljoints. Normally i'd think engine mounts but it dunno. Anyone else had...

Hi All. I'm getting my geometry set up again this weekend, it's not been done since new, and at nearly 50k it's definitely off, what with having to hold my steering wheel a few degrees to the right to go straight! Soooooo. I'm presuming it's all trophy specific: Toe? Caster? Camber...

Trophy near gatwick this morning heading in newchapel direction. I was heading the opposite way, at about 8:20am It's rare that i see trophys on the road, they look so great :D

Following on from the rear seats and doorcards thread... I know it's a common problem for the clio steering wheels to melt and the thumb grips to fall apart. I thought my wheel was fine, but recently i've noticed the wheel is slowly melting where my hands sit on the wheel. And to be honest...

Hi! My Trophy needs new rear discs, now i know they incorporate the bearings so i would need to change them too realistically. Now i know i should really get original renault bearings(probably skf or something) as i want them to last a good amount of time. And i want to get half decent quality...

I've reduced my car fleet to just the trophy now, and an impending company car. So i've decided to allow myself to start modifying again! What have you all done to your trophies, and were the mods worth it? So far i've just fitted decent bulbs and a great stereo system. Just ordered a 172...

One 55 reg and one T6PHY. Spoke to the former breifly! Looked like you were both having fun. Should have plenty of print quality pics of both out on track if you're interested. Think my mate wants a bit of pocket money for them, damn students lol Kinda wish i'd taken my trophy for the drive...

I hate the cup rear bench and want something a bit nicer looking. I presume the 172 & 182 leather seats will fit straight in? Guess that as with most cars, the split/fold system has a bit that bolts to the car where the seats split, is there provision for all of this? Which seats match the...

So many different reasons i'm guessing! I bought mine as a daily driver to replace a boring VAG TDi barge. I have always loved french hatches, the handling balance and the way they handle bumpy roads is unrivalled by jap crap and german barges. Trophy specific, i always have to have good...

Somewhere between getting to work and going home someone has keyed the n/s rear quarter of my lovely trophy :( It's not too deep so i'm hoping that once i get my mate over with his paint depth gauge, udm, makita etc, he'll get it out and make it look like new!It's a large car park just for our...
