After owning my trophy for over half a year i am very strongly leaning towards an r26 megane. the trophy is deffo the best car iv ever had and the r26 will have a hard act to follow. A swap would be ideal but i am looking for around 5.5k for mine. really well looked after, as pretty much all...

Hi :D Im new to the forum and have joined to gain a little knowledge from trophy owners about the car. Hope to be purchasing a Trophy at the weekend which seems like a good one but I have a few questions. How often should the dampers be refurbed? I hear £400 is the going rate? The ones done...

Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...

Allo people, in the quest to solve my suspension issues i'm replacing my passenger side drive shaft amongst other things. The motor spares shop ordered what we believed to be the correct item, but it appears different from the original. The first obvious thing is the width of the abs toothed...

Friend of mine saw you, are you on here? Said you were a hero...

I met Harry Metcalf at an evo track evening last year and he asked me why I had not thought about a newer car, implying that the new models are better. Any way with this thought in mind I went and test drove a Clio 200 on a cup chassis the other day. My thoughts, new car is bigger, much more...

Hi all, Newb here. Just got my trophy and looking to swap off the stainless exhaust for something quieter and standard ideally. Based in Edinburgh. Not sure what exhaust is on it. Sits flush and looks the part but not branded i can see. Will investigate further.

Just thought I would do an update from a myself, a new owner member of a trophy re 131. Picked T up from Wales last Wednesday , first to see did buy! Great price but as always there is a snag, not deliberate by the seller more like the things to do when you get a second hand performance car! On...

Being new to the forum and a trophy virgin i thught i would ask some questions with the people that Know. 1.what is the best source for service parts i.e. sparks/brembo discs and pagid or ferrodo pads? 2.the rear wheel brgs are shot on my 131, so are being replaced, question is they are noisey...

So within the next few weeks the Trophy will have reached the point where it needs 4 new tyres, after trawling through a few of the posts on here i can't seem to get anywhere... Has anyone had experience with running other brands of tyre on their Trophy? if so any recommendations? If not and i...

Here is my 2003 Renault Sport Clio 172 Cup for sale, its adverstised over on CS.net but i thought it would be useful to advertise it here too. I have owned the vehicle since August 2010 and enjoyed every minute of it, unfortunately the time to sell has come. I am the third owner and the Clio...

Just curious as it'll be 7 years this year since I bought mine, anyone else owned their's from new?

Hi all, just to introduce myself, I have just bought 449 and loving it already! I signed up to get more info before buying, the forum is great to find out about the potential issues and fixes. The Clio is a 2nd car for fun, there are a few minor jobs to do, four new PS3s are going on...

I apologise if these have been asked, I tried to do a search my my internet is really really lagging today. My car has started the dreading ticking from the cat to exhaust joint, only very slight but I know its there so its getting sorted, so I'm going to order the bolts, springs and gasket...

anyone had any problems with these?? mine seems to have ripped the hanger off the rear box on the o/s. is this a common fault??? only had a quick shufty but n/s seems to be braced, o/s not. bit of a shite design imho.

Likle they say. . . . . . Dont see one for ages then two come along at once. Although they were a good 80 miles apart. 1. Coming along the A14 Eastbound towards the Brampton Hut roundabout around 7.45am 2. In or near Shirley with the big Tesco on the roundabout, saw you heading along past the...

The trophy is in need of new brake very soon. Going to need disc and pads all round. Got standard on the rear and brembo drilled and grooved discs on the front at the mo. Whats the best to put on? Dont what to be spending a fortune but want something thats going to work well.

I have had two Trophys both which have done this. When parking and wheels near full lock the steering wheel becomes light and wants to go onto full lock its self as if the wheels are tilted over. Also if the road is wet the T front tires slip very easily when turning. It never bothered me as i...

Hi everyone, Sorry to say my period of Trophy ownership has come to an end, as someone at the more senior end of the age spectrum I decided to get something more fitting to my pipe and slippers image - Saab 9-3 Aero, full power turbo, full leather interior, full service history etc. etc...

There are quite a few driving-related things which annoy me so I thought I'd post one each month until I run out - call it therapy if you like. Maybe everyone will agree with me, more than likely they won't, and maybe this will spark a bit of a debate/controversy. Whatever the outcome post your...

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...

Evening all. After owing my Trophy for a few years now my mate has finally decided that "it's one of the best cars i've been in" (in terms of unbelievable grip). He has driven it plenty of times and everytime he is amazed at its ability, so he decided to get shut of his diesel and go for...

I'm going to be selling the 540Ci and getting a small - swb landy or rav4 size 4wd car for the winter. looking at around £4k outlay Just wondering what everyone's opinions are as to which one to get. I've scoured the markets and shortened the selection to; Scubby outback Rav4 Merc ML any...

Hi all, Had new discs and pads fitted all round today after an mot failure for heavily corroded brakes. Only problem is a warning light has now come on. It was the end of the day so the garage couldn't find the fault. The new brakes have the abs ring etc so I am hoping it's a simple fix. Any...
