So how long do you plan on keeping it (meaning Trophies but anyone is welcome) all being well? A car you're going to keep 'forever'? Keep for a long time? Planning on changing? A stop gap? No idea? I have to say I've thought about changing my car in the recent past but little can get near...

Had the car up on the hoist at Ren7Oaks last week to check on the exhaust back boxes and dampers, and although the latter are just fine, one of the back boxes has deteriorated further since it was serviced in September 09. Thankfully it isn't blowing yet, and I am still undecided as to what to...

Hey guys, I've just been reading 'Performance French Cars' magazine and noticed that they've done an article on putting the Clio rs200 on a rolling road. The article states that they had 217bhp from the motor? Has anyone on here got a clio rs200 and a RR read out yet? I know that I'm digging up...

Just passing through and noticed some very useful discussions on this website so I thought I'd join! I hope I am not intruding! I own a 206 GTi 180 myself, lightly modified running about 177bhp at the moment (just under 150whp). I wanted to find out how 172/182 owners have found modification on...

Hi all, I currently drive a DC5 which I'll shortly be selling. One of my reasons for selling is the suspension which, though wonderful on smooth roads, is an absolute nightmare on my daily commute due to the quality of the roads near me. After 18months of ownership I'm ready to move on. I...

Morning all :) just a quick thread to ask a simple question, this might make for an intersting read, if the answers provided are conclusive and factual, as much as i enjoy opinions everyone has one, so facts only please. For all you who have had rolling road read outs, what do you actaully...

Over on www.evo.co.uk they're running a car of the decade competition. I'm jumping the gun slightly but 2005 should be coming up (possibly on Xmas day at the current rate) and hopefully we'll get a chance to vote for the Trophy :lol:

A number of ‘add-on’ additives intended to improve the performance of commercially available automotive lubricants have been marketed in recent years, under such names as ‘Xxtralube ZX-1’, ‘Metol FX-1’, ‘PPL Anti-Friction’ and ‘Activ-8’.All such products share the following characteristics with...

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...

Or is it ok or is higher octane ron best?

Had a run on some Dastek rollers. Best run was 156.8bhp at the wheels and 192.6bhp at the fly. Interestingly I had just fitted a green cotton IK and have yet to fit the CAFs. The difference between bonnet up and bonnet down was 4bhp. Not an exact test but give and indication to how much CAFs...

im after a decat! whos got one on? do they give you some sweet pops and kick flames out, my 106 GTi was class for it with one on!

Which one would I be best off buying? I don't do many miles as I work away so I drive mainly at weekends. So it got me thinking a diesel might probably cost more than a petrol. But the diesel cupra has sooooo much torque! But I have heard they can torque steer out of corners! Which could be a...

Finally got around to fitting this after having it stashed away for 20 months :oops: What a fecking fag, more of a wrestling match to be honest. Anyway it's now wedged in but I'd appreciate a look at anybody who's got one fitted at the ND as I'm not totally happy with it's position. Pretty...

Hi all, Just been on ktec site, and they have matched inlet manifolds on an exchange basis. http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2907 Have people done this mod on their cars at all ? Using 'angleworks' etc ?? Any benefits ? Plus I would of thought you'd have to use your own...

Hello ! 8) Thought I would start a thread for all those who are about to get their Trophy's Remapped by Paul at RS Tuning so we can all post our comments, views, results etc... 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...

hi, ive recently bought a clio 182 with both cup packs. im looking to get a few modifications for it to make it a bit more powerful. has anyone any idea the power increase that a milltek exhaust system with de-cat and a group 'n' spec re-map would give?

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...
