Was just pouring over the press release of the Trophy on allvehicles and came across the term squab depth when refering to the Recaros. Just out of interest, can anyone tell me what it means please? I did google it but didn't find any answers in the first couple of pages... :?:
I know this has been asked before and i remember seeing it somewhere... but i think there is a place in the southeast that people go for the setups (minutes/camber etc)
Anyone have to name and or contact info?
Thanks
David.
Hi folks,
Sorry my Pe2 groupbuy didnt happen but the last Blueflame groupbuy sold 27 exhausts, so they contacted me asking if i could run another one.

Has anyone on here fitted a rear strut brace? If so whats the thoughts on it - e.g is it worth it and has it made any difference to the handling?
Just thinking that it may or may not be a worthwhile option on a Trophy. Probably something Renault would have fitted originally though if it did...
There seems to be a glut of Trophy's on Autotrader at the moment - has anyone noticed this? 10 in total (thats excluding the black Trophy and the silver one!?) is that the most anyones seen for sale at the one time? Pretty strange time of year for selling too.
They all seem to be average or...
Another clip from me, with Renaultsport Clio in it :wink:
Goes to show quite much of a hooligan one can be in a RSClio :twisted:
Not sure about the state of the tyres and clutch after such antics :roll: but that would be to quibble, especially as he doesn't have to worry about such...
As some of you will know, I am in the market for a Trophy. However, I first have to sell my TT which is happening, albeit slowly!
Anyway, here are a few questions to get me started:
1. Will the Trophy run adequately on regular fuel i.e. 95 RON?
2. Would you recommend using 97+ RON? If...

hi. i wonder if you could tell me how many turns of the dial from the hardest setting down to the softest setting to put back to the factory setting.

Many thanks to Olis for recommending Aurok for my geometry check. Although using the ‘old fashioned’ method of string and gauges, they confirmed my suspicions of incorrect tracking and mismatched camber angles. The camber was obviously slightly out from the factory but the tracking...
We have a lesser clio model in our family - a 1.2 16V. I'm 6'4" and whilst the driving position is ok, heal and toe is virtually impossible.
How do the seats differ in terms of height in the 182 and trophy? Are they much lower and alow more room directly under the steering wheel for heel and...
Just how fast can you corner with these things? I think i'm having to re-learn my entry speeds into corners. I entered a roundabout today with no drop in my approach speed and flung it out the same road I came in with nothing more than a bit of squeaking from the tyres. It really is quite...

Pulled up outside a restaurant in Brighton on Thursday night, and my fiance went to open the passenger door and had it literally wrenched away by the wind. It was wet, and freezing, so didn't check it out until yesterday.
Basically the door still closes, but it doesn't quite sit right. Feels...

In preparation for trackday season, I took my Trophy to get the tracking done today, which is all good, but their 4 wheel laser alignment system showed that I have -1.01 degrees of camber on the left front, and -0.24 on the right :?
I was told that this was not a great amount to be out, but...
After fitting my new adjustable wiper stalk, it got me thinking would it be possible to upgrade our AC to climate control by changing over the front panel?
I know things in life are rarely this easy but I thought I would ask.

Hello all
I've now done almost 2k miles and the car is really loosennig up. Seems to thrive on being driven hard. averaging 31mpg which is not bad overall.
Couple of issues:
1. Sometimes the rev limiter kicks in at 6400rpm. To stop this i stop and restart the engine. I thought it...
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...
Went to change the the oil in the Williams this afternoon, and I could not get the old oil filter off, and I just wanted to see if anybody knew of any special tatics for removing the filter.
The best access I could get is in the three inch gap between the block and the radiator, but I could...

i think it was a godsend as i ordered it without even seeing or driving 1 and today i met a guy with 1 , he had number 009 after sitting in it i realised im 2 tall for the recaro...
Hi guys, seems like a few of us are picking up Trophies this weekend, so how about some advise on what to look out for at the Dealership when checking the car over - just before we accept them ?
Can you think of more than this ?
1: CHECK FOR PAINT SCRATCHES/IMPERFECTIONS/STONE CHIPS

Unfortunatley I brought my 182 a little to early back in March so wont be getting a Trophy. Really hoping the Sachs suspension kit does get released that is being talked about over on Renault Sport forum, if so hopefully I will get it for my Cup Packed Black Gold car.
I was looking through a broucher at work the other day and noticed a nice Sparco front and rear Red strut brace. Got me thinking should i or shouldt I fit them to the car.
I know the rear is only for looks but I am very tempted.
What the rest of you think????
