caliper

Hi, I have an annoying low droning sound that seems to be coming from the rear of the car. It is linked to roadspeed not engine speed, and raises in pitch with speed, but then beyond 40mph seems to stay at the same level. Everything you read about suggests rear wheel bearings, but there is...

I'm due to be changing my rear discs. I have bought standard ones with the abs ring and bearing already attached. Are these still just a simple swap like the front ones would be, or is there a little more to it when the bearing and abs ring is involved? Thanks.

My Brembo's and DS2500's were old and tired and I my driving means i don't need uprated items, so i went for Mintex front discs and pads, Genuine renault rear discs and Mintex pads. When i fitted the pads into the front caliper i noticed the pads were a mil too small to fit snug in the gap. Sure...

These where before the xenon headlights and are a few months old now.

Hi All, I could do with a replacement off-side rear brake caliper. The bleed nipple has broken off in mine. Thanks, MaKS

Hi Everyone, Im currently looking to buy a trophy and over the past few weeks I've noticed more and more coming up for sale but rarely selling. Then last night 3 came up for sale within the space of 2 hours on Pistonheads. Is this a coincidence or am I missing something here? Is there an...

Hi,I have only owned my trophy for a few days and there are three things I would like to do to the aesthetics. First one being to paint the rust colour calipers red,secondly to get silva tech indicator bulbs,but the one that is bothering me the most is that I think it would look great with the...

Just given 038 a polish and some new pics. Would come with a new MOT. If you know about these, and most here do, all the maintenance and new parts on this add up to a fortune. I'm on the fence about selling it as it owes me more, but it is a stock car, I have an R26.R I'd like to keep and how...

So its been a while since I’ve posted anything, and seeing as me and a mate of mine had enough energy to clean our cars yesterday I thought I’d do a little update with some pictures of the recent additions to #333. Although I won’t bore you with millions of pictures of my Trophy all clean, as...

does anyone run winter wheels on their trophy? thinking about doing it this year to protect the trophy wheels but mostly to ensure i've got tyres more suited to the wet and cold conditions found over winter. 15" seems like the best option for winter tyres, they are all typically a larger...

hi folks. sorry for dragging up a well discussed topic,and looking at previous posts im suffering from a common problem of rusty rear brakes. im booked for an early MOT this week and slighty concerned as to whether a visual inspection will result in a failure? The rear' are rather rusty to...

My rear pads need replacing very soon i've used the search facility and found lots of posts regarding brakes etc. Now i know the brakes at the rear only take about 20%, so i was going to go for either the standard renault OEM pads or the Ferodo DS2500's which i think quite a few people are...

Right I will get straight to the point as I have a list; I have owned my Trophy for now 2 months and when purchased I had timing belts done and an oil and filter change done. This weekend however I was doing a gearbox change and checked the oil now the dipstick read ½ litre low and when I...

Chaps, Soon to be spraying my calipers, and vaguely remember someone on here using a "Trophy" stencil on theirs a while ago. Now what would be the best way of acquiring say a sticker that I could use as a stencil? I've obviously thought about finding out what font the trophy writing is, and...

Hi everyone, as stated I've had an intermittent problem since i've owned the car. Got it checked out once before but nothing was found so I kinda just ignored it but when going along the M27 this morning it seemed to go mad. A dull drone started up from the nearside front and got louder and...

I have been looking through posts and at few photos of calipers that have been painted on here. I think it finishes the car off perfectly but i notice quite a lot of people reckon they would be better left standard. Just like to know what peoples veiws were on doing it. Cheers Elliott.

I put new discs and pads on the front of my T today, and whilst doing the job I was just thinking whether it would be possible to fit a set of clio 197 brembo 4 pots on it rather than what the cars got. I know that the 197 and new 200 both use 4 pot brembo's and 17" wheels, but does anyone know...

.........this is going to be my first 'hands on' job on the T. Any idea if this is a relatively straight forward job? Out of interest, does anyone know if the calipers are slide in/out or twist in /out? Looking for the best setup for fast road use and 'occasional' track use. Many Thanks

I'm thinking of getting something RWD to replace my Trophy perhaps an Elise or VX220 but can anyone make any other suggestions or have they had any experience with either car? Thanks. :)

Does anyone know whether brakes from a 197/megane/200 would be a direct fit to the 182 hub? The discs are probably too big for 16''s though?

Just come back from Jam Sport after having had one of there 4 pot kits fitted and all I can say is its the only one that's fitted properly as I've tired both the Godspeed and GDi one before and had to use spacers. There not even bed in yet and the brakes are so much better with an excellent...

So i recently got new tyres on the rear of my car so it would pass the MOT, it did pass but he said the fronts were getting close to the limit. So i swap the fronts to the rear of the car so they last a bit longer. Then there was a wobble at 60mph so after a nightshift i waited up till 9am and...

Trophy front shocker required, car is not drivable at the moment so need ASAP. If you have please call 02392 66 58 48 Thanks Mike :D

Hi, I think you have not appreciate the last mods of my trophy with the stickers (no post reply). I hope this mods will recive some opinion ;) I have painted my break calipers, 1 hand white, application of trophy decal, 2 hand red, trophy decal removed, the result is not bad I think. I have...

My Trophy has had new discs and pads fitted at around xmas time (before I bought it) and I took the trophy out yesterday to show a couple of mates. I must have driven about 10 miles on some country roads, fairly spirited but nothing insane with some mild braking. Next thing I know someones...

has anyone got a set of massive brembo calipers .... picks, price, and who stocks

hey does anyone know how much a set of front caliper cost? i have just tried to bleed my brakes this weekend and the nipple has broken of the frist one i tried so i decided to leave the rest! :( so i am going to try to get them drilled out and replaced all round but incase i need new ones does...
