aftermarket

Hi everyone! As some may remember, I was in the market originally for a 993/996. Unfortunately in the interim I've bought another flat which means that my budget has been reduced a bit :( I'm actually having a HUGE problem trying to decide what to buy... - Has to be unique - Should be...

My car is now due its first service and a few calls to local dealers to find the cost revealed that the dearest was £244 followed by £236 :shock: But I have managed to get it down to a more reasonable £175 inc vat at Stockport Renault. Any body used them? if so let me know. Cheers

Hi there, just a quick question... I take it the Gear Knob from the v6 will fit straight onto any clio2? And does anyone know how much these cost from Renualt? Oh and my car is a 182. Cheers

Some of the usual why pay extra as no 'difference' to a standard 182??? Over rated!!! The best one,' drove one & thought it was same as cup' :shock:

Has anyone else read about the JDM Civic Type R and getting a bit tempted? Autocar clocked it doing 0 - 100 in 15.98 secs while the Megane R26 clocked 16.66. Not much in it but interesting all the same. EVO gave it a good review too, hailing it as the best Honda on sale at the moment. I...

I have been back and too to Renault with a rumble noise from the engine of my Trophy since I bought it. Each time they say they can't hear it, or that its a normal characteristic. So I took hime to Carlton Garage, Exmouth (Ren Specialist) for his 24k service and they traced the fault to the...

the friday just gone i took my car to sanspeed to get it remapped. it was getting a custom map on the rolling road, and i was lucky enough to get it on the dyno dynamics which they have only had for about 2 months. anyways, i know that clios never put out factory figures on the rollers but...

Hello all, sorry it's been a while but all i've been doing is driving, I've put 2000 on the clock in 3 weeks. I had to before anyone starts, I blame tha VW add about "have you ever just gone for a night drive". Anyway putting a new stereo in the car and was wondering if there was anything that...

Yes, the unthinkable is happening, I'm buying a flat as some of you know and the second love of my life is up for sale. Everyone who's seen this car knows that this is silly money but it's going to Steve at allvehicles at the start of next week so it will go to a lucky new owner for slightly...

Sadly the time has come to put my V6 up for sale :( Build number UK 175 with all the usual Clio V6 factory spec inc Xenons, sensitive wipers, etc as well as the following desired aftermarket modifications: Pipercross Induction kit, K-Tec rear silencer & RS Tuning remap all of which make...

So having been on holiday driving hire cars for a couple of weeks, I came back and thoroughly enjoyed the chance to 'enjoy driving' again in my trophy - it was even more fun than I remembered (and interestingly having been away from it a bit in Punto's etc, the drining position actually seemed...

Clean Integra just in. Another one I'd like to keep to play with :D http://www.allvehicles.co.uk/used_honda ... r_sale.htm

I do experience some brake fade on some of the back roads here (fast straights then sharp blind bends). Ferodo DS2500 pads seem to be popular on this forum but I came across the following (see http://www.balancemotorsport.co.uk/prod ... lAodrFaCGQ ) <quote> Please remember these pads are...

As above http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/184315.htm Anyone on here? If so it would be interesting to know what was involved in the conversion in terms of parts, complexity and cost as people have enquired about this previously iirc.

Went to see Yozza this morning for some new brakes......not really tested them yet but they did a good job. 8) So when I got home I thought i'd make my dampers adjustable. Tried to remove the grub screw from the drivers side and it would not budge. Even after plenty of easing fluid and a...

This is just a small selection of some of the cheaper tat that was rolling around that day, I tend not to photograph the really expensive stuff. For those who didn't make it, maybe next time? It was good to see Rich again and Steve Coulter (allvehicles) who made the sensible choice of going in...

I found it hard getting the info about removing the OE gear knob so thought I would post up my method on here for those who don't fancy getting the hacksaw out. 1. Pop the silver insert out with a flat bladed screwdriver, to avoid damage. 2. Heat the bastard up with a hairdryer until it is...

Seeing as I ordered my Milltek today, what are peoples' opinions on fitting new exhaust mounts at the same time? The car has only done 6k miles, but I'm worried it may sag and not sit straight. I'm just curious how others have got on with their replacement exhausts (regardless of make). Thanks...

I have been in touch with IXO Models who manufacture a few of the Renault Models for the dealerships to see if they would be willing to manufacture the Trophy as a limited edition model. Normally they will only think about doing this if they produce 1000 units at a time, but I have asked...

Noticed rust ring round edge of disc, inside edge when changing wheels. Don't want to severe set up, or anything thats going to destroy alloys :D Been suggested to change pads & disc will clean up :?

for the past few weeks my car seems to sound very strange either the first time i start it, or after it is left for hours and hours...basically when it is stone cold. not sure whether it is down to the engine, aftermarket exhaust, or lamba sensor not being put back in yet (but it has been...

YH55 *** (in need of a clean :P ) Spotted you driving through the town centre about 1o clock (ish) Aftermarket exhaust aswell I think.

I was looking through some really quite excellent pictures that I found somewhere on the internet of some Clios that went to the South of France (there was a Trophy there, by the way). Amongst the cars was a Liquid Yellow V6 255, but it had what appeared to be the very same Recaro seats as the...

Well, the time has come to part with my car. I am going to sell all of the items separately and then sell the car in 'stock' form at a low price. I would like to sell the car in the first week of June which is when my insurance expires. As such I am looking to have all parts available in...

While I was stuck in a traffic jam another Trophy zoomed past us... and it very much had an aftermarket exhaust (and sounded quite good!). Anyone from here? Time was around 1pm, Oxford Circus are (Selfridges is at the end of the road I was stuck on). O.

I have a decat and a Janspeed cat back exhaust and lately the Trophy backfires (pops and bangs) on a cold start. Does anyone else get this or is mine the first? I have noticed the exhaust sounding louder when driving so it maybe that the stuffing from the box has almost gone completly... hence...

Please put the standard bonnet back on!!!!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Hi all - been looking to invest in a trophy for some time, but due to my age (22) havent really been able to afford the insurance, tax, servicing, etc. However the time has come to go all out and get me one of these cracking little cars. About to pick up number 31 tomorrow which is as...
