Hi all, Firstly, does anyone know whether the key fobs will be being stocked again, as I would be keen on getting one. I am due to pick up my T on saturday but I just wondered what everyone thought of the rear bench when they first saw it? I was sure it was from another car as it looks cheap...

I know a few on here have fitted compbrake STM's and I need some advice on which order to fit each part. These are from KTR but im pretty sure there identical. See pics:

Hi, thanks for your time. My car is a Clio 182 Cup and I'm going to be getting a body kit for it. The kit is WIDE arch so the overall width will increase by approximately 200mm. That works out to about 100mm more on either side. So what happens with my alloys? I'm looking at getting new ones...

Hi guys, I'm going to look at No. 382 on Friday and if all goes well I'll bring her home on the same day. I've noted some info below and would appreciate your thoughts please. September 2005 (55 reg) 1 Owner 40k miles Full service history with all receipts (12k and 36k done at Renault, 24k...

My first post so thought I'd say Hi and hopefully get some useful advice. (tup) I'm looking for a new daily car and a friend who is registered on here (DMC) has recommended the Clio trophy. I've been looking through the classifieds here, on Pistonheads and Autotrader and found a few cars...

Hello chaps, I had my camber and toe set up just before christmas, went for 1.5 neg camber and I was going for around the standard 12mins toe out, as per the common concensus. After speaking to the suspension expert at Northampton Motorsport, who were doing the setup I was advised to go for toe...

To all those who are looking for a Trophy or have recently purchased one (there seem to be many at present!). What's led you to your purchase?.. Wondering if something specific has sparked interest, like a magazine article or suchlike?

Sorry about the poor pic but this is now on my car. Thanks to Luke335 for his advice on choosing the Orb. The design on the small plate bearing the Orbisoud name/logo is in green on the newer Orbs and has www.orbisoud.com underneath it, thats gotta add 1hp! lol If I'm truthful I thought it...

Hi I am getting myself a mountain bike shortly and just wondered those of you that have them do they fit in the Trophy Ok? obviously I will remove the front wheel! Cheers

Hi all, Having previously used induction kits on all my cars, I ran into a dilemma on recently purchasing a 100% standard Trophy. It is an absolutely fantastic car with a nice raspy exhaust, but doesn't sound like it feels with such a muffled induction sound, something that I would like to...

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 there. Ive just had my Cam Belt, Aux belt and water filter changed. I test drove it after and got a funny sound in low revs when i floored it in 1st. Sounded like the air box had been left off, but only at low revs and when i floored it. Anyway, took it back to the mechanic and he tightened...

Just bought a new wheel as i touch a curb, so instead of changing my tyre onto the new wheel, i might as well buy a tyre and keep the scratched one as a spare. So if anyone knows any good/cheap places to get one from itd be much appreciated!! :D

Full stainless exhaust, including 200 cell sports cat. Originally a mega expensive system hand built by by Orbisoud who make clio cup race exhausts. Not only does it improve the breathing of the engine, it sounds fantastic and and saves approximately 12kgs over the standard system. Would have...

Hi, I'm new to this forum, I have been losing some power on my 182 engine and have been trying for the last month or so to get a manual, before I start to strip the engine. Can anyone tell me if a workshop manual is available and where ~I might lay my hands on one! Thanks Tintop

Hi all, The idea of this post is to keep you all up to date with what has been going on at www.opieoils.co.uk Firstly, we have changed our filter supplier. As some of you will know we previously stocked Purolator Filters and we have now switched over to UFI filters; oil filters, fuel, cabin...

Hi all I'm hoping to make my Trophy a bit more track focused for next year. How far have people taken the stripping of there cars and what sort of results have they got? Oh and any ideas and advice with track mods would be appreciated. Thanks in advance , Matt. :D

A bit of advice please, One of my headlight bulbs has gone, how easy are these to fit? If i have very little patience or dexterity but also money (!) should i do this myself, or go to a garage to get it done? (To give you an idea of my skills, I fitted the wiper stalk myself, but it took me...

I want to get a new exhaust for my Trophy, but after reading all the posts on here, still cant decide between the following 3. The K-Tec Ultra Performance 182 Exhaust System (Supersports Version) The Yozzasport Clio182 Catback System or the Janspeed 182 Stainless Steel Exhaust I have been...

Hi guys. Having a nightmare with the car lately. When im travelling 60+ MPH the car feels like its not planted and changing lanes on the M-way or dualcarrage way is becoming very scary. When traveling at speed and steering lightly (ie changing lanes) everything feels loose and the car seems to...

So, who's heading off to the moutains again this coming season? I plan to return to Tignes for my 2nd boarding experience. Sadly this year I shall be going during Feb half-term as my girlfriend is accompanying us and she is now teaching.. Expecting the slopes to be totally rammed but hey, if...

Hi, Just bought a Trophy and I have my 1st question. I've noticed that I get a funny tinkling/whistling noise coming from what sounds like the passenger footwell or under the gear stick when I rev the car from about 300rpm all the way to the red line, this happens in any gear! I'm not sure if...

So 219 is now 3 years old and at 26k miles, the annual service is due in December but its my intention to bring it forward before a small road trip to Wales. Now how many people have taken the precaution of having the Aux Belts changed when there car got to 3 years. I’m in two minds to...

Advice Please!! Just had my car MOT'd today and the guy at the garage mentioned that he felt the front end a bit bouncy on the roads he took the car for a quick drive on. I said that I had noticed this recently too and asked him if he thought that there was a fault with the dampers, to which he...
