emissions

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...

when i'm at a junction holding the revs at say 1500 it seems to pulse from 1500 - 2000rpm, and im sure that its not a jittery leg :lol: ? is this me or is the Trophy taking over!

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...

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...

What’s written on your oil bottle and what does it mean. This post may seem like going back to basics but I am constantly surprised by the amount of people who do not know or understand what is written on a bottle of oil and therefore no idea of what they are buying/using. To be...

Over on cliosport.net I have read many threads that describe the 182’s 5K kick. I had often thought that these threads over hyped the kick as I can only just feel an increase at 5200 revs in my Trophy, but recently I drove Steve’s (sm wrc) 182 and his car really does kick...

got a few thing sto sort out, 1) Emissions warning light started flashing today, not too serious I would hope, since I've got a bit of driving to do before I go in next week 2) Boot catch broken 3) Very lumpy idle for the first few minutes when the car is first turned on. Impossible to...

Currently fitted to my trophy, only done about 3000 miles on it, looks great and gives a nice tone under acceleration. Paid just over £400 fitted at Janspeed themselves. Looking for £275. Ollie has first refusal as he messaged me about it a week ago, but if he doesn't want it its up...

£190 to tax a sodding Clio from now on :x

Who here has a decat? What's the deal with the emissions light, I've read a few stories on cliosport about people gettin an emission light and strange power drains randomly because of it

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...

Hi all. I'm seriously thinking about buying a Trophy in the next couple of months or so when the cash comes through and have a few questions. As always, after getting used to a car we start craving more power, however, with this car I don't think I'd go as far as increasing engine capacity or...

Another offer for you guys, Andy at GDI has contacted me offering ClioTrophy members 182 decat pipes for a price of £80 inc vat and postage. I will post some pics here when they become available. Contact Andy if you are interested on the number below 07010 716 440...

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...

Looking at the air intake behind the n/s headlamp it appears to have an external bellows connected to the inlet manifold by a vacuum pipe. Presumably this is to do with emissions? Does anyone know exactly how it works and what happens if the pipe is disconnected, as I would guess is the case...

When I set off in the car from cold, the engine feels like its running on three cylinders. A few hundred yards down the street and all is well. Is this an engine management thing? I had a 172 Cup a couple of years back and I seem to remember it doing something similar. Any suggestions...
