has anyone fitted matched manifolds? sport cams? been looking at K-Tec ones and been debating it. and de-cats?? who's got one has it made a difference and has everyone just pulled out the emissions light?

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...

Who say's they don't exist :lol:

Hi, I'm the new owner of Trophy No.243 T9PHY which I collected today after some fraught negotaiting with Renault dealer who had it. I know it was owned by a member on here who I contacted before buying it, and I thank him for his information. It's my new daily runner to replace my late spec...

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...

Hello, Just wondering if anyone has ever or ever heard of anyone converting there 182 to run on LPG. I know the cars arent built for economy but it would be interesting to hear if anyone has converted a 182 to run on LPG.

Hello Trophy owners, I Know its probably been asked before but whats your average/best mpg figures?

Hi all. I picked up my trophy the other day and i've now noticed a faint metalic rattling sound between 3000 and 3500 revs it's hard to tell where it's coming from from inside the car but i'd guess somewhere towards the front. any ideas would be much appreciated the car is standard if that...

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...

Car's due up for a service & MOT which I will be doing within the next week or so. It's only done 22k so its just the usual 'A' service as per the guide on here. The thing is..my mpg for daily driving is between around 28 to 30...now reading some figures elsewhere,that seems a tad...

So much less messy than my fiesta! Sump plug is dead vertical so the oil comes out dead straight, not a drop going on the drive. Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 thanks to opie oils plus a new filter which was the messiest bit, awkward to get to but at least it doesn't flow down your arm! Just made the...

Took the Opportunity to take #428 to the Elan Valley and the Aberystwyth Mountain Road and down to Devils Bridge last week.....the Trophy has now covered 1500 miles since i bought it at the start of the month! I am so happy i made the decision to change from the R27, yes i do miss some of the...

I'm thinking of getting something RWD to replace my Trophy perhaps an Elise or VX220 but can anyone make any other suggestions or have they had any experience with either car? Thanks. :)

just noticed today that Shell V-power is 99Ron...didnt it used to be 98ron ? or is it just me? :?:

Hi I was cleaning my car before Inc engine bay, set off to go into town and everything was fine.... Untill the emmissions light started flashing and missfiring?? Could water have got in somewhere????? It's running but everytime you put your foot down there's No power.....

hi ive just got back from chipped uk for my custom remap and here is my results

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...

Having just stepped out of an R27 into a Trophy i was wondering how many miles you guys were getting out of a tank? I seem to be averaging 31mpg on the daily commute, a fair bit more than the R27 at around 26mpg but that also had a bigger tank, so couldn't get my head round the maths!! :oops: I...

I was driving home from a relatives house through Dunmow yesterday and i spotted a Trophy parked up outside a house (near the kicking dickey pub). I think the number plate was RJ55W.., didnt get all of it because i was drivng, Is it anyone on here? :wink:

time may be up for #356 just recently got married and possibly 356 may now be a little to small for our needs. The wife has her heart set on me getting a 330CI or 330 convertible, cos it looks "posh", and i was thinking of going for a 230 R26. BUT....... the question I want to throw out there...

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd come on and say Hi while I'm looking at 182's and Trophys as my next car. I'm a regular on the RenaultSport forum so i'm sure some of you will know me from there. Andy

ive just been on the k tech website and they now have a low presure turbo kit for all 182s, and they will take it to rs tuning in leeds for a custom remap (3 hours worth)it all cost around the 3k mark, on their graph is says its putting out 212 bhp and about 200 ib ft so that would put its power...

Some years ago, Paddy married an attractive woman, Maggie, half his age, in a small coastal Irish community. After several months, Maggie complained that she had never climaxed during sex and according to her Grandmother all Irish women are entitled to a climax once in a while.. So, to resolve...

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: Turn on ign, everything lights...
