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.

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

HI all,
The other day I started my car and the engine warning light came on, I have got an ecu reader so plugged it in and came up with the code: P0500
After a quick look on the internet i found this to be the vehicle speed sensor.
Now the speedo is working fine, i have got a digital speedo...

Last year (8/10/08) I had my Trophy put on the RR at RS Tuning. The car was standard and made 162.3 BHP and 140...
I have now decided to give my little trophy a re-map and have looked through previous posts to gain some idea on what folks have done and where they have been,but alas its left me a little confused!
I shall soon be booking in for a service down at rentech and was wondering whether to call into...
Hi all
Ive just recently fitted a cat-back RS192 and ever since the engine doesnt run properly when cold. At 1000-2000 revs when gently accelerating i.e. 10-20% throttle it pops and farts and doesnt want to go at all, but when the revs get up to 3ishk and above it springs back into life. this...
After four years of ownership, I'll shortly be selling my Trophy. My new car arrives early September and that's when I'll be selling the Trophy, we've only got the one car. If anyone is interested here are the details. One owner, full independent Renault specialist service history. 67,000 mainly...

I thought i'd give this a whirl on here rather than Cliosport, seeing as i know i'll be bombardered by answers like "Its your Tdc sensor"
Now i'm not saying it isn't that, but i'm looking for someone to answer who has been through the exact same problem :wink:

Got into my car excited about heading to Bedford this evening and as I drove down my road, my excitement died.. The Exhaust emissions light was on and unlike before, it was static, not flashing.. Restarting the car did not clear it so I left it on the driveway and I shall be borrowing my fair...
After my recent trip to the Ring in my Trophy I felt the car was lacking outright power which is no surprise as I used to track and ring an E39 M5. I bought the car with the intention of using it as a daily hack but a have really grown fond of it especially it's capability on track.
I now need...
Dear All,
Travelling down the A40 towards Monmouth today a pipe was in the left hand lane which I couldn't avoid due to traffic on my right. I thought to myself, "that doesn't look too big, I'll drive straight over it."
Oh how I was wrong. The pipe scored the underneath of my car (i don't...
Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've been an active member here but this place is still at the top of my bookmarks list! :D I don't have a computer and so I've been visiting here from my phone or occasionally borrowing my sister' laptop. It's a little harder to post here using my Nokia...
did everyone else have this?
does this mean the valve only fully opens at 5k and as such its removal has spread the torque around the rev range more?
or am i talking ballacks?
There is a thread over on CS about those £160 electric superchargers on ebay.
Basically everyone is saying they are a load of crap, i agree they do sound like a load of crap and i wouldnt waste my money on one but no one on CS has actually purchased one and used it on their car so how can they...
Anyone using a smaller redtop battery or similar in your road car how have you got on with it holding its charge etc
If you relocated it where too etc
Thanks
One of the small steel brackets holding the ECU in place has cracked. Is there a fix? Its a Group N ECU which I got from GDI a few years ago, should I just have a word with them? Thanks for any help.
Hi everyone -
I've been knocking around the idea of getting a Trophy for a while now, and I'm going to be buying one very soon now.
Quick question: is it best to get a bog-stock example (what I've always done in the past) or does the Trophy respond well to a cat-back pipe and a panel filter...
Hello.
This morning i turned on my 182 and drove away. Then i noticed a light on the dash in the middle under the petrol light. It was a rectangle with wiggly likes in it from left to right and same orange as the petrol light. The engine had very limited power (limited to under 3000 revs). I...
unfortunatly due to health and therefore financial reasons im having to sell the trophy.
