Test drove a 197 today while my Trophy was in for its 12K service. Dealer allowed me to really 'test' the car, staying away from dual carrageways in favour of a few miles of twisting country roads.
Plus points for me...
Cant argue with the claims of better build quality - it felt like a...
Hi Guys
We are currently running a group buy for a remap on CS.
Total cost is £245 all in (Usually £275)
There is no rolling road included (not got one.... yet!)
CUP from here had his 182 remaped by us and was very very happy with the results. Originally the group buy was for 5...
Has anyone changed or thought of changing their ECU to BBR one?
Are there any benefits / downsides?
Have mk1 172 superchipped which makes a noticeable difference but if ever it goes in to renault it can be resset by their machine by accident..
Will the same happen with this ecu...
Hi folks,
rory182 from cliosport here again, following the success of my justmatz.co.uk and blueflame exhaust group buys I'm organising a tyre group buy.
The PE2 tyre as fitted standard on 182 and 182 Trophy is excellent in my opinion and so I'm trying to save a little money when it comes...
It seems a few people on the forum now have been to check alignments and cambers on their Troph's recently, only to find they are a bit out of sync. . .
I am keen to get mine checked out and so im looking into the possibility of getting a Group Discount. I have been recomended a company...
I've found a trophy that is only 12miles from my location opposed to the 100miles+ for other Trophys i'm looking at - Great! ..but he wants £13750 for a 5000miler (which i am no way going to pay).
I know they were listed at £15500 but i expect that most got them for £14500 odd?
I...
I tried to buy oil for my Trophy from Renault Ilford. TOLD NO OIL 2 WEEK WAIT. Can you believe it? I asked how they service cars without oil The parts bloke said they buy in from Halfords for 182s. :roll:
Where else can I get Elf oil or is there alternative?
Help would be appreciated :)
Anyone managed to kurb these rims and did they get a new wheel or have it repaired??
Got a quote for 1 new rim £175.00 + vat from renault any other places???
cheers :)
when i insured my trophy last year i mentioned to direct line it was a trophy 182 and they went of to some department to get a car grouping for it, 182 was not good enough prob shouldnt have said anything but they ended up listing my car as a citreon bx or something and it put premium up by 50...
I took some time off work, was supposed to be doing some sensible stuff round the place. Kind of got side tracked, but said side track may of more interest to this forum.
Following from previous threads about camber adjustment amongst other things.
Day 1 Permagard treatment...
... anyone fitted this to their Trophy?
It's got a different curve than the origional one and not sure if the bumper is slightly different on the Trophy to a Cup or stnd 182......

I thought i would inform you of some shocking information that i found out while renewing my insurance.
When i purchased my Trophy last september Direct Line were my current insurers, so i phoned them and payed the additional £250. I payed this got the paper work through all was fine...

I would add a smiley but im too p*ssed off!
Insurance is up for renewal and i've now got 5 years NCB. Directline want an extra £130 to protect my NCB. I am in two minds if i should splash out the extra for it. Especially as the trophy is soon to become my weekend car as i just can't keep doing 500-600 miles a week in it. With that in...
Aloha everyone...
Was looking at the Oribsoud exhaust recently and it got me thinking... what benefit would it offer, say, a Janspeed or Ktec unit? It is afterall almost £300 more expensive...
Thoughts?

The recent posts about the types of chips/ecu that you can get for the Trophy has got me very interested in the subject. Trying to work out what is the best of the options available.
The chips/ecu's I know about so far are as follows:
Replacement ECU with R'sport map - The type that Nik...
I quite fancy a replacement Cat Back system, I think the trophy could have a far nicer bark to it then the standard exhaust, it sounds way too 'mechanical' at the moment.
I've been looking around and it seems a lot of people recommend ProSpeed. I saw GaryG's 182 at the Bedford trackday and it...
I've been offered a group buy deal by YozzaSport on 182 Cat replacement pipes.
This replaces the Catalytic convertor. And comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Normal sale price is £140 (£125 + £15 del.)
If 5 people are interested then they can be purchased for £115 each...
I'm looking to upgrade the bulbs in my Trophy.
I've been on to the www.powerbulbs.co.uk website and the vehicle search only goes up to 2004 clios and recommends the following;
Indicator
PY21W
Low Beam
H7
High Beam
H1
I'm considering Philips Vison Plus for the H1 & H7 and...
