Right this is really doing my head in!!!! over the past month or so I have this knocking coming from the rear....I have removed and refitted the rear konis god knows how many times, tried different settings. Had a look at the exhaust to see if its touching anywhere, checked the bumper etc etc...
I have always fancied doing this but I think I've watched too many of these.......

Absolutly mental, George has my upmost respect :)
Just checked my tyre pressures after recently buying the car.
Rears were around 20, fronts were around mid 20's
Bumped them up to 33/30 as per the manual.
Car now feels very squirmy and skate like on roundabouts and such, it was like glue before. Do you guys find that less pressure works best?
My Trophy has just made its television debut lol Its only in a few shots for a few seconds but its there! best shot is around 7:16 - 7:21 FANTASTIC! lmao :lol:

I've noticed recently that on full lock when parking my T it seems to make a knocking sound. I think it might be a tipical C.V. joint stretching sound on full lock? I do need to get both the front struts serviced ASAP could it be anything to do with them? Any ideas what it could be?

Just recently my T has started making a few knocks and bangs, I have (what sounds like) the exhaust banging against the bumper when I go over any uneven road surface - but I don't think it is this due to the exhaust not moving much when you push it. Will have to investigate more!
But I was...
I have received my steering wheel back from getting re-trimmed. As i said in a previous post when looking for a rough 2nd hand steering wheel I had this done at http://www.gibsontrimming.com/ which is miles away from me so everything was done by email and phone, but I'm sure that if you're...

My original exhaust is pretty much rotten through now, and the left back box is rattling plus the clamp holding the cat to the main system is rotten and strangely has somehow become loose so that it rattles too?!
I've been looking around at what to replace it with and not really sure which way...

I have placed an order for these on Tuesday and I still have not received them. I was going to phone up on monday. I have realised that they are based in the lakes and so are probably flooded. Anyone got any further info on their situation. Does anywhere else sell them? I have 2 fronts on the...
Hi all,
After picking up the Trophy about 2 weeks ago now, I've finally had time to start a Trophy #383 thread after driving with a :mrgreen: everywhere
So here are some pics that I took when I first got the car home:

Hey all,
So I actually managed to drive a trophy at the weekend, my first time. It was a little disappointing but I have to say I don't think it was the best maintained example so that may be the reason for it.
The seats were fabulous (if the driving position a little upright),the steering...
saw a trophy this morning, coming pass on the 'rabbit' roundabout heading from Winterbourne into Little Stoke direction.

I was never a fan of the 4 different type faces that were on the outside of the Trophy, ie Renault, Sport and Clio on the tailgate, and then Trophy on the side skirts.

Hello all,
Just registered with the forum to do a little research on the Trophy. I currently need to free up a little cash for a new house so need to sell my car. I love driving and trackdays so want something fun and exciting to park in the garage for when the mood takes me.
I don't do many...
After the credit crunch slump its nice to see a good selection of Trophy's back up at the £8k mark.
I'm just waiting for the 197 values to drop below! To put a smile on my face. :D
This is from a man who had an E30 M3 when it was worth less than an E36 & E46 M3. Maybe I should have kept that...

The time has come for me to part company with my Trophy, No 084. It has been great fun owning it and it's certainly an absorbing car to drive. However a shiny black 350z has seduced me into the world of rwd. :D

Saw a Trophy this morning around 9ish on the M4 Port Talbot.
Also saw the other local Trophy in Neath, as always parked up on the drive see that Trophy all the time when I visit my parents.

.........seems to worse when manouvreing along my road in the mornings but not 100% sure what it is! Suspension still feels tight to an extent (although paranoid shocks need refurb), thought it may be a rear bearing?
Any ideas?
I had a bit play with one up the A19 the other day wasnt room to tell really thoughy with traffice, no doubt i would of hurt him off on the corners though!
Hi,
Has anyone fitted an LSD to there 182? or any other type of diff. Would it be worth fitting an LSD to a 182? Imagine an LSD on a trophy! putting its power down! 8)
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...
