fuel

Last week end while at ultimate street car @ santa pod after a lot of hasle off my mates i reluctanly took my trophy down the drag strip. First run ever on a drag strip i managed 15.5 beating a v6 calebra 16.6 next run an Astra coupe turbo i got 15.73 he got 15.68 i won again because i had a...

Well i have decided that as i am skint what with moving in with my gf a couple of weeks ago, that i wanted to do something with the car. All of the obvious options, such as exhaust, engine mods are out of the window, as is the harnesses and brake upgrades. So i have taken the spanner to...

I've found a trophy that is only 12miles from my location opposed to the 100miles+ for other Trophys i'm looking at - Great! ..but he wants £13750 for a 5000miler (which i am no way going to pay). I know they were listed at £15500 but i expect that most got them for £14500 odd? I...

Popped down to my local shell garage to get some beer and i noticed a bright red 197 parked in front of me. I didn't have a camera but my friend took a photo on his phone. http://cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/garage.php?mode=view_gallery_item&type=garage_gallery&image_id=382 The red was so bright...

Now don't shoot me, but I'm a Civic Type R driver, had one for 4 years and looking for a change. Been considering a cup for a while, and now that Trophies are starting to 'possibly' fall into my price range, I thought I'd do some research! Now there's no doubting the looks, performance...

What is the most amount of miles you have ever got out of one tank of Fun Juice in your Trophy's? I have driven like an absloute saint for a week in a quest to find out. . . . And considering i do a lot of stop-start journeys with my work, i think i have done quite well. But before i...

My battery died on my Trophy and the RAC came out to get me started, however the car turns over but no fuel seems to be getting to the engine. Any ideas/ suggestions? Does the immobiliser need to be reset? Any help would be much appreciated.

Corneyman's has had to pul onto hard shoulder. He has a fluctuating temperature gauge and is waiting for Renault Assistance. He has asked for your help. Has anyone had a problem with their temperature gauge. If so could let me know what the the problem was so he can pass it onto Renault when...

I had my 12k service free because my beloved car broke down on day one lol did everyone have havoline fuel treatment done to there car at the dealers? I didn't know what they did i just had a certificate for it. Tell u what tho the car felt so much better after the service and having this fuel...

Did anyone go over the weekend at all? I found this year was extremley busy and far too many people to move around the pits and paddocks. Although, I did like the new megane trophy which did a lap on the circut! Shame about the yellow colour though!!

Had the 1st 12000 miles service on friday, luckily i didnt pay for the service because when i picked it up the guys in the garage had spilt petrol in the car and it stank, so as a good will gesture they picked up the cost. Also, any ladies/gents had the problem with the spray paint rubbing...

Hi all. Currently looking at changing my car at the moment and I really want a Trophy. Be prepared for some questions regarding these. Been looking at the forum for a while and think it's awesome, seems to be a decent bunch of people. My MINI Cooper S will be in the for sale section...

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...

its ok

Hi everyone, I have been driving my trophy for nearly a year now and i am very happy with it! :D Taken me a while to sign up but im here now, after 10 months of driving without even checking the tyres i thought i better so i brought the £22 accutire pressure gauge and found the...

I've been using a cone induction kit on my Trophy and the heat soak is getting noticeable with the hot weather. I had the bonnet up the other morning and the cone was red hot. I was planning on putting the old airbox back on together with a new panel filter. Should I do this, will it make a...

put my trophy on my race scales...half tank of fuel, no baggage

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...

number 1 on pistonheads...wonder how many test pilots this had.. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/82172.htm

The other day my petrol gauge was reading just under the 1 bar, no petrol stations for quite a while and couldn't be arsed to turn around and find a closer one. Got me thinking what was the best MPG anyone has had? Excluding motoways & dual carriageways. On some nice twisty roads I managed 42mpg...

If you are "modding" your car and adding BHP or using it on track then consider your oil choice carefully as the stock manufacturers recommended oil will not give you the protection that your engine requires. A standard oil will not be thermally stable enough to cope with higher temperatures...

Hi all, I seem to be increasing the number of miles that I am now doing and am cosidering a mile cruncher (read: 320d) as my daily driver. I feel I am not doing the Trophy any justice :( Just as a guide my car gets equal if not better treatment than my girlfriend including: - Washer...

Megane 225. Inferno. 3dr. 05reg. 14k on the clock. Immaculate other than a couple of small kerb marks. Standard full fat. UK car. Optional Cd Changer. Obviously looking for a trophy. :D

Just testing the water here but... unfortunately due to the amount of work miles i'm having to do and that will be increasing as of next week, I feel that the time may have come to part with my beloved trophy to make way for a diesel. I also feel that it is a great shame to be putting so...

Spotted what seemed to be a phase 2 Vee in the queing traffic on the M1 at Jn 31 yesterday . Was stuck there for ages due to fuel spillage, but it meant ahem, nice empty motorway once we passed it.

CAN THIS BE ACCURATE I HAVE A 182 FULL FAT AND HAVE A 0-60 TIMER AND PULLED OFF A 6.47SEC 0-60 AND WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK OF MY FOG LAMP CONVERSION

www.pipelinecard.org Worth 2 mins of your time :?: Likely to save its members 5 - 7p per litre on fuel (including super) in the near future.

Obeying the sticker on my filler cap saying "Super Unleaded Recommanded (sic)", I only use super, which can take some finding out here. As hyb will attest, most filling stations round here only sell hay :roll: . What's everyone else's policy on fuel type? Super only? Super sometimes? 95 octane?

Just a quick question, whats your mpg like at the mo? My Dads moved jobs a couple of weeks ago and since the longer journey to work the mpg has gone up .1 everyday! Its now at 34.5mpg and hes only using unleaded as there is no super around here.

Really more of a rhetorical spotting as I already know it was Ollie. Musta been around 6:45-ish by the Esporta building, you were heading towards the M1 (I'm assuming) and I was going the otherway, taking the back way home.
