decat

my car has developed a misfire on cylinder 1 (nearest the oil filler cap) most likely due to having to drive through a massive puddle on sunday evening. I have already tried swapping spark plugs, and the same cylinder still misfires so i have narrowed it down to either the coil or the leads...

Been told if i fit a decat it will invalidate my insurance, yet i can fit it for use on trackdays. The reason is; decat makes car not road legal, was told this is industry wide issue as well :shock: Yozza decat anyone?

The clio came back to me Wed night and I am very impressed with my custom exhaust by Advanced Automotive Solutions Newcastle. It is a full system and is considerably lighter than original system. I can feel the power a bit earlier on, along with a sweet sound that builds up great above...

Im going to GDI in a few weeks if all goes to plan for Inlet matching + Group N ECU + ITG filter Iv just got a Decat pipe to go along with the Milltek system i have 8) will sound superb! im hoping for some good gains with the the mods added as the trophy looks awsome already im spending a...

Does anyone know how quick the V6 is 0-100 especially the 255? Cant seem to find this info anywhere on net or in mags.

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...

Hello, just wondering, as I have no experience of the clio sport range on how easy it is to tune the trophy or a basic 182 to 200hp? I am a believer in keeping rare, unique cars as standard as possible so subtle mods would be preffered! What have other members done? Cheers this is my...

This morning halfway through a journey a light came on, on the dash. It's the light above the green change gear now light. It's orange but i have no idea what the shape is supposed to mean. Bugger all I can do about it now, as i'm off to Amsterdam in 2 hours but it's worrying me.

It was found out that some genius at Renault decided to make 182 exhausts all one-piece rather than 3 which it should be. Seeing as the exhaust goes over the rear beam this meant that the cat and centre section were taken down, but the whole exhaust being connected did not come out because we...

OK guys - 1 week in and time to change the exhaust..... Money no object what is the best system I can buy. I am after a nice rich sound, not too loud to get thrown out of any potential track days, and not too quiet that it wasn't worth bothering.... Not really wanting to ditch the cat in case I...

Hi Guys I'm going down to France later this year, so I thought I'd ask Orbisoud how much one of their exhausts costs to collect from the factory gates. This is their reply; hello, price line complete racing : 1006 euros ht. soft : 1087 euros ht. best...

Has anyone got one of these on there Trophy? Are they any good? I know the orbsund is the bees knees of exhausts but is it worth it? Anything come close to the obsund sound for cheaper? Apart from the itg filter panel is there anything else to modify or is it good in pure form(don't...

obviously the trophy's all still have around 8 months warranty left on them, however what will modifications do to this warranty?? If I was to fit an aftermarket exhaust, would all warranty be voided??...even if something like an electric window stopped working which is clearly not related to...

2003 '53 GT Monte Carlo Blue just under 60k miles 2 years extended warranty to go (ish, have to check) I'll probably put 4 new tyres on shortly, 6 months tax and a new mot by the end of the month. Hard top + original stand and honda cover. It had all suspension bushes changed just before...

I have booked at trackday at Donington for Friday 6th April which involves 20 minute sessions every hour from 10-5 i think and then as its the donny show and as i am up there all weekend with mates, I have 3 other 15 minute sessions over the saturday and sunday. Question is, how will standard...

Spotted tonight at Hamble Point Car Park! Car sounded lovely when driving off too! Is it standard, or have you done any mods?

Hi guys, Some pics of the exhaust, Decat included collection only from Portsmouth area. Exhaust was made by Charlie at Prospeed in Cardiff, car sounds awesome with this. Single box design with twin 3.5inch tailpipes Noticeable diffference between this and standard design. Car produced 189hp...

If replace the standard panel filter with a performance one do you have to tell the insurance company? Do after market decat pipes look like the standard cat pipe, basically will the insurance company know say if you ever had to claim and they had to look at the car? do you all declare it or...

Got a bit carried away today :shock: My exhaust (standard 'high quality' item) is making strange noises again.. So I concluded something had to be done! Then concluded whilst I am at it makes sense to do something on the induction and ECU side. ITG panel filter and KTR grp N ECU choices...

Is there any reason not to replace the standard filter with an after market panel filter? I've read that induction kits are pointless unless you have a re-map, which i'm not going to do. So is it ok to pop a new panel in, is there any point, what difference will it make?

Just found this, anyone used these kits? http://www.reverie.ltd.uk/shop/products.php?g1=4b6d8f

hey as some of u know i just got my trophy last week.....so anyway theres a guy in work has a civic type r....it has a full exhaust system, decat and an induction kit....and he wanted to see how it would compare to the clio. luckily near work theres a private bit of road which opens out into 2...

Hi all im getting a trophy asap just wanted to no what the best exhaust and induction kit is for this Car thought id ask the owners. Thanks

Hi folks, Sorry my Pe2 groupbuy didnt happen but the last Blueflame groupbuy sold 27 exhausts, so they contacted me asking if i could run another one. Here we go: Clio 182 stainless steel cat back system rrp £330, it's a 3" pipe from cat back which I find frees up low down torque, I...

As some of you will know, I am in the market for a Trophy. However, I first have to sell my TT which is happening, albeit slowly! Anyway, here are a few questions to get me started: 1. Will the Trophy run adequately on regular fuel i.e. 95 RON? 2. Would you recommend using 97+ RON? If...

Seems i'm always banging on with probs anyone any ideas with this? From cold can pull off but there is a total lack of power tiil it warms a little, plenty of revs but wiill just not move. Has only just started, admittedly have still only done 2k (i know shame on me) Sorry no idea what...

Take a sec hand cat and removed the insides here the cats insides when I stared and here it is after I had cut it in haft and smashed the insides off the cat out and here it is after I had weld ind the to hafts back together and the inside after all that work

seeing as i wont have to MOT my trophy for another 2 years i was thinkibg about a possible de-cat what can i expect to gain from this? power and torque wise? would i have to inform the insurance company? cheers

Hello all, I have just bought a Trophy. The previous owner didn't look after it too well and I am left giving it a bit of TLC. One problem is that the cat has a crack in it and its not covered under warranty. Renault service centre want £800 to replace it - I can't afford this and I'm taking...
