Hi all havent posted for years but allways havbe a browse on the forums, anyway T450 has hit 26k and in need of a service...couple of questions. 1)- Do i get the aux and cam belts done as its nearly 5yrs old (and if so is it cheaper to buy these parts myself)? 2)- I 've upgraded to brembo HC and...

My Girlfriend got me these for Christmas.... :D :D Not yet been for a drive but I have strapped myself in a few times :) , cant wait to test them out. ^^ I used some red trim the same as the car mats to trim the edge of the car carpet to tidy it up a bit. ^^ Ben.

While I was writing a piece about the Clio Sport phase 3 I stumbled across your board so I thought I'd better introduce myself. My name is Tijmen (32 of age) and I live in Amersfoort, Holland. I'm very active within the Club Renault Sportives in Holland where all owners of a fast small Renault...

Hello everyone, Just wondering how the trophy compares to the civy type r ep3. Sat in a ep3 yesterday and I was really impressed. I went on fast laps to compare the two and the pre facelift ep3 was faster than a T round Rockingham by 0.4 seconds. But Iknow that fast laps...

I'm currently having my dampers refurbished and had a snapped spring so I'm looking at getting some alternatives as replacements from Renault are a shocking price. I was recommended the Sportline Springs by Yozzasport but some other people think they will lower the car by up to 50mm?! Has...

Dear All, After getting back from South Wales today, I would like to ask: what is the best technique for carrying speed into and out of a corner in a Trophy? I know all corners are different: different gears required, different braking points, different throttle pressure etc, but is there a...

Any experience with these tyres? The product manual says this: - exceptional resistance to aquaplaning - minimizes tread block movement & improves aquaplaning resistance - extreme levels of cornering grip in wet & dry conditions - extreme levels of cornering grip & immediate steering response -...

im happy that the renault beat the focus round the track, think it did it in 1.28.1 and focus 1.29.3, its 73 bhp less and £2000 cheaper but i will say the focus is much better looking and with all the luxuries on board itl be a better bet for everyday driving. if i wanted the car for performance...

I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

After having started this topic: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7506 about the Trophys ESP + SERV lights coming on together (not serv + airbag like most get), i am wondering if that guy in 2006 was right that when these lights come on the T needs a new steering rack? Hope not... What sort of symptoms...

Morning all ! ok so i got my Trophy Pretty much fresh out the box. taken the Acoustic Value off, getting some fat piping today. and i also getting the brakes done (discs lines fluid etc etc.) ok so, i know that when it comes to Mods if you don't have a set plan, and you just fiddle, thats when...

Am wondering what symptoms people experience when their dampers (f) have given up and are off for their pilgramage to Ben at BG...?? 007 still feels taught as a trolley after 50k, but i have noticed the o/s wheel is oh-so-slightly higher in the arch that the n/s one, but i'm talking mm rather...

Hi all I have only had the Trophy a few weeks (1500 miles) but the PE2's on the front are in need of a change. I have tryed quite a few tyres in the past on my Ph1 172 but have never tryed R888's... so I thought I'd get a set and see how they do on a day to day basis through the summer. I have...

Howdy folks, After having been an avid owner and fan of the Trophy for well over a year now i am ashamed to say i havent been on here much apart from when fault-finding!! Seems to be a great bunch on here though so thought i'd start chatting!! However, my first post in a while is a gripe. Now...

For Sale, set of 4 lightweight Mardi Gras wheels originaly from a Clio cup 172 race car. They come complete with a set of half worn Toyo R888 tyres with 3mm of tred left (they have 6mm when new). The wheels have been sprayed black at some point and this has started to flake off slightly in...

Thinking of upgrading from my 172 to a 197 cup or megane 230. wondering if anyone can help me decide. i like the idea of the stripped out 197 but think the 230 is a bit better to live with everyday. i've drove the 230 and it was very quick, but havent had a go of a 197 yet. im also thinking...

:( Hello again. Hope you`re all well. I`m not...422 is cornering very badly now and not being a mechanic i thought i`d see what your thoughts on this problem are. (visit to garage planned for the end of the week) The problem is,the car cuts into corners much sharper than it used to do and...

Solid top mounts are going to be fitted to my car shortly. Im going for the KTR Solid Top Mounts which look very similar to the Compbrake ones. Those of you with Compbrake top mounts fitted I want to know whether you have experienced any movement in the mounts resulting in geometry changes...

After a pair of Camber Correcting Bolts... Thanks.

Going to have the alignment/tracking, camber settings ajusted. So many threads on here with varying opinion. I use the trophy as my daily drive and trackday toy when Im in the mood which usually involves driving to the ring lol! I need to know the factory settings if possible and please the...
