acceleration

i brought my trophy last week i p/x my 172 cup when i go above 2000rpm the trophy whistles is this normall as it didnt do it in my cup

A couple of interesting reads in evo magazine this month: 1) JB rates the Williams superior over the Trophy 2) The 197 is deemed better than the Cup but comparison to Trophy is not made (yet!) O.

Currently fitted to my trophy, only done about 3000 miles on it, looks great and gives a nice tone under acceleration. Paid just over £400 fitted at Janspeed themselves. Looking for £275. Ollie has first refusal as he messaged me about it a week ago, but if he doesn't want it its up...

Ive noticed something when i break going round a medium corner at around 70 -80mph...not a harsh break a general one, the back end swings up and makes me very nervous to thrash the fiesty beast.....dosent do it as much on right handers. i never noticed befor but i had a full set of £65 budget...

Nice day for a clean, thought I'd take the rear out, see what difference in noise it made. Turns out not a great deal

A quick question I wonder if anyone could help me with. I have a small problem with 104 :( Symptoms: - Under hard acceleration in 1st and 2nd I get a noise from under the car, seems to be below and between footwells, once past maybe 4,500 rpm. - But doesn't happen if I accelerate slowly...

Hi everyone, just recently a knocking noise has started and has been getting worse as time goes on. Its around the drivers side front wheel area and happens mostly when in traffic and under hard acceleration when I change gear when i lift my foot from the gas. Anyone else had this problem...

Hi all. Finally got my decat fitted today (thanks yozza), took it out for a blast and I must say it sounds lovely combined with the viper induction kit. However during my spin .... I've raced Type R's before and kept up (in fact they seem to make it a habit of having a go). However I came...

well after waiting 4000 miles for it to quieten off and it not doing, i have had the mid box replaced under warranty. took it to renault dealer in st.helens. had a word with the lad about looking after it and being carefull etc and he was spot on! a 172 owner he was really carefull. Also had the...

I appreciate as much as anyone that the Trophy is a great hot hatch, but if anything, what would you liked to have seen the Trophy released with? For me it is more power! I was really hoping that Renault were going to release a Clio with the Meggy 225 engine in it, failing that I was hoping...

please answer the above question? euge

i have a really loud banging under the car. anyone else have this and what do i do?

Took my Trophy for a real hard drive on Saturday, first time that I have had the Clio at maximum attack for a prolonged amount of time, and whilst the car performed brilliantly (speed and handling) I got a couple of gripes that I can't believe are on my Trophy as they were problems on my phase 1...

As I crept past 500 miles last night, I thought i was time to start using all of the throttle. When I depress the accelerator it feels like there is something stopping me from hitting the throttle stop, it I then apply slightly more pressure I can feel it move past this point and hit the stop on...

I've had my trophy a few days now and was wondering how everyone else is running theirs in? Im sure the bloke at the dealership said dont go over 4500 revs or 80 mph...........but iv just read in the handbook 3500 revs or 80 mph?! What has everyone else been told? Cheers P.S the...

Well I have gone and done it. Chopped my subaru in for a Trophy. Now I know that the next couple of weeks will be hard as I wait for delivery so.. What it is like ? can any owners wet my apetite? Have I made the right decision? All replies gratefully received :wink: gimme gimme gimme...
