Hey. :D Ive just had these fitted to the Trophy along with the powerflex dogbone mount. I decided to buy these mounts because while back I had my car put on the RR and I was shocked by the amount of movement from the Engine under acceleration and when backing off the pedal at high revs. The...

Hey guys, This weekend im going to Silverstone to watch 'time attack', you can also put your car on track for 15 mins for £35. Ive never done a track day before and dont wana chuck myself and the trophy in the deep end just yet, so thinking this would be a good little teaser for me. Its the...

Here's a video from Yesterday's trackday at Brands Hatch, 2 other Trophy's were there too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHjHopythvI Chris

Hoping for some decision making replies here :wink: After doing bedford on monday, i need to improve the brakes, They're good, but not good enough, they are what was on the car when i bought it. I'm not looking for disc recomendations as such as i have a set of brembo max's sat in the...

I'm somewhat concerned by the cost of maintenance for the Trophy, but the question is how often does it need work doing? Do you folks find them to be reliable enough to not worry for a while or is there often an niggling worry that something could go wrong at any minute? Given that I won't have...

Just ordered a Clip tool for the renaults, should enable me to disable the airbags completely without messing about with resistors :) It's the proper job and not one of those £30 jobs everyone's selling, according to the seller it's the full monty and works the same as the genuine renault set...

Can this be a vote on the two cars above. It is not a discussion on which is better. Simply answer 197 or Trophy. Please don't just pick a trophy because you have one and are unable to see past it (although it is a great little car). Thank you. jsthomson

Hey folks, Not quite sure what happened....went for a drive up the A1(M) from Herts to North Yorkshire in my Trophy and drove back home again in my Civic :? :lol: Was planning on keeping the Trophy until at least after Spa (which I obviously cannot drive the FD2 around in :oops: ) or maybe...

ive found some pics of the new clio sport 200 which hence the name gives you 3 bhp more than standard and looks well............ugly as hell!, thats my opinion. found out that the cup version will be 36kg lighter than the normal version too and the gearing for the first 3 gears is shortend again...

Hi, I am thinking of buying a trophy but I am unsure what the noise levels of the car are during cruising. Bearing in mind that the car is lighter than the competition I would have thought that the redundant weight was removed by removing the heavy sound insulation? Does anyone have a dB meter...

Just seeing if any of you guys are intrested in a track day on July 10th. My friends and myself have booked ourselves in :twisted: The cost is £169 but if you are interrested let me know and I can get £20 of if booked through our club :) http://www.circuit-days.co.uk/event_det ...

Has anyone here fitted an LSD to their Trophy? Any idea as to what options are available in terms of LSD's for the 182/Trophy? Many thanks :D

Okay so I'm spending a day at Curborough Sprint Track. Just going for a bit of gentle fun with some guys from work. There shall be some nice cars there, Westfields, Caterhams and a formula 3 hillclimb car! Taking the Trophy obviously :) any one got any advice? I don't intend on going mad, I...

Hi guys thought id let you all know i done my first Autosolo on sunday at weston super mare ,there was a very good line up of fast cars including 5 elise's 3 scoobys and 1 evo as well as gti's ect.so it was very interested to see just how well the trophy would go.my last car was a mx5 which we...

Had the trophy at Donington today, weather held out and the day went without too many problems, total result for me is the need for a new power steering hose and pump (long story) Had a problem one session with loose wheel nuts (almost fell off :oops: ) And another session the one the video is...

Hi folks, Anybody going to the french car show this year or is there going to be any kind of group thing?

Have my 17'' fox racing alloys up for sale or swap for 15'' or 16'' including tyres Tyre size 205/40/17 Tyre thread: 3 alloys have got a few marks on nothing much and 1 alloy kerbed all around but easy to refurbs pics below of the wheels If you want to know out else...

Having been snowed in two years running, I'm thinking my trophy has a profound disslike to snow. Ok, I know it is not designed for it. I love my Trophy, but this gets me down every year. My dad has a VW Passat oil burner (No I say!) and has no problems what so ever. So people, what cars are good...

I'm going to look at an '05 with 22k on the clock in a couple of hours at a local garage, they reckon it's 24/500. I don't see it registered here so maybe not a forum user but just thought it was worth a quick check. Also, being new to this model is there anything I should be looking for? I...

This might be up for grabs as i'm carless. It's with circuit-days.co.uk Open pit lane, 20 mins tuition included, passengers are free. Full day 9am till 5pm on Sunday 9th Nov. £130.

Yesterday I did my first sprint on a proper race circuit - Castle Combe, quite an experience, so very different from the hills - the circuit was so wide that I almost did not know where to go and of course was driving at much higher speeds - 100 plus. Still getting some confidence in the DC5...

What tyre pressures are you guys currently running?

One 55 reg and one T6PHY. Spoke to the former breifly! Looked like you were both having fun. Should have plenty of print quality pics of both out on track if you're interested. Think my mate wants a bit of pocket money for them, damn students lol Kinda wish i'd taken my trophy for the drive...

Thought I should post some pics of my trackday at Anglesey circuit last month. First time on R888, great in the dry and great in the wet. Could not belive how good they were in the wet, made me wonder what the 4wd system was actually doing on an Sti :wink:

My Second trip to Germany and the Ring this year, but my 1st with the Trophy, and again it was awesome! Catching the Ferry over early on Friday, and returned on Sunday. 1200 miles covered, over 4 contrys in 3 days, through some stunning scenery. The Hotel again was brill, lush food and...

Set of 4 Magnesium OZ F1's 7J 15 ET43 with TOYO R888's GG compound. http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb71 ... ale009.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb71 ... ale013.jpg If you think the trophy handles well on exaltos, boy are you in for a shock :lol: £430 ono 07900 326697

Does anyone know the db rating of a yozzasport de-cat exhaust system? of know how I can find this out? Just slightly worried it wont meet the 98db rating on 'Croft' which is the nearest circuit where I live. I wanna buy the system but not if I wont be allowed on track. ! Cheers.

I've been to the Nurburgring before with my standard tyres, but was wondering what people think is the best tyre for the job. I'm toying with the idea of a second set of wheels anyway with r888's or khumo's, but I don't know how well they would heat up at the ring. Would anyone bother...

I can't seem to stop running into issues with my car this week. Right, successfully swapped the stalk without too much hassle. Then reconnected the battery and the stereo asked for a code... which it appears i dont have anyway in any of the 5 or so books, guides and manuals that renault...
