garage

I have only owned #372 for a few weeks now,loving it! The revs at idle are quite irregular,they aren't climbing,just sort of popping up and down. It's probably nothing,but was just wondering wether this is normal or it may be due to the cat being removed? Should it really be remapped if...

Interested to know how many low mileage cars are left out there. Saw Asim's on here (25k) in the for sale section, just wondering how many more there are! and what current guise they are in (100% standard, lightly modded, highly modded?) Seem to be a very rare breed, I keep an eye on the for...

In two minds really but let's see what happens... Renaultsport Clio 182 TROPHY No.49/500 I have come to the decision that after two and a half years it is time to sell my pride and joy and move up a step to a megane RS 250. I have owned the car for two and half years now and it has been...

Lets just cut straight to the chase

93000 Looks to have full history Overall good condition. Alcantara door cards And xenons. ?

Changing oil this weekend What's best? 5/30 f/s?

Well, it's time to clear out all of the stuff I’ve got kicking about (1 double length garage and 2x sheds worth). If you need it, chances are i've got it kicking about. All parts are from either a Titanium Ph1 172 with 85k, a Monaco Blue Ph2 172 with 72k, a or a Titanium Silver 182 with 58k on...

My Trophy has been sat in the garage now for a long time and the wheel bolts have gone very rusty! I could take them off and give them a brush up with a wire brush and polish them up with some wire wool, but for them to rust they have obviously lost a protective coating of some sort??? Any one...

Hi everyone can't believe i've only just registered on here after having my trophy for 7 years! (sorry! lol) please can you help? been told by my garage I need full new suspension front & rear. Not concerend about the rear but the cost of the front ones gave me a fright! last year i got a...

Alright all, finally got the car back on the road but only just passed mot due to poor braking results on the rollers. Weird thing is i didn't touch the brakes while the car was off the road! They were rusted up due to sitting there for 6 weeks so i took her for many 70mph to 0 foot heavy on the...

Hi Guys, My Trophy is not well. Had it since new with all required servicing and I was just arranging its 72k service when I noticed a new clicking sound coming from the engine. It is most obvious at more than 2500rpm, but can also be heard at idle. It changes (speeds up) based upon engine...

Evening everyone. I've been umming and ahhing about selling the Clio for a while now, it's costing a fair bit to run which isn't great when I have another expensive hobby. So i've decided I should probably try to get a cheaper car that's as fun and although i've looked at MX-5s and the like...

Hi all, I'm a long time lurker on here, but have never posted anything. Having read the first Trophy reviews years and years ago, I knew I had to have one. A combination of uni, city living, finances and getting married have all slowed down the process. Until now. Money went down on a new T...

Found it like this on Sunday morning (also posted on PH): Had #110 in Edinburgh less than two weeks parked in what I thought was a decent enough area. Have learned my lesson and moved it back to a secure garage in the countryside. Really upsets me that someone has felt the need to do this :(

Hi all, I don't drive my T throughout the winter and over this period of time I SORN it off the road. My T is still off the road in my garage and has not been started up or moved in over 5 months. I'm worried that leaving the engine off in the same position over this length of time will cause...

Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...

Hi , I need some help, I am just starting the refurb on 131 and actually bought it without a bloody front splitter! Are the reno ones very expensive? Are the skoda ones actually ok? What do you recommend or advise? Marl

I've two front springs 'gathering dust'. Done around 5k, been sitting in the garage for 18 months and I need to clear some space. Open to decent offers above the £100 mark, will be going on ebay in the next day or two so you've got a heads up. Brand new, each one will set you back over £100...

Have been saving up for a while and buying parts on the cheap when they became available. Today is the day the car has gone into the garage for a front end 'refresh'. Have opted for Lemforder ball joints (last ones were cheaper alternatives), new genuine front bearings, complete top mount kits...

Just thought I would do an update from a myself, a new owner member of a trophy re 131. Picked T up from Wales last Wednesday , first to see did buy! Great price but as always there is a snag, not deliberate by the seller more like the things to do when you get a second hand performance car! On...

There must be a few ?

i keep the T locked away in the garage and use as when i want.whilst out in my daily run about van, i had a minor bump-no damaged to my van but a light scrape of the other cars bumper and resulting in the bumper popping out which is all going through the ins companies..to which i am gutted and...

I am selling a full Trophy suspension set up, with recently refurbished front dampers. This set up will fit a 182 Cup, a 182 with Cup Packs and the Trophy. I bought the dampers off a guy on Cliosport last July. I have not even fitted these to my car as I have been preoccupied with another...

The forum has loads of them. Half the time the page wont load, & when it does its not in the correct format. Keep getting 'server' errors as well where the page wont load.

Renault Clio Renaultsport 182 Trophy No. 71 of 500 48,600miles Bought in Nov 2009, selling because we need a bigger car for a dog (good lady wants one for her bday in March!). Won’t need any further money spending on it until tax at the start of July and then service/MOT in November...

Ideally front and rear. Will consider with or without springs (I'm after some MF items). Cash waiting.

Shit I just heard a loud bang from outside, looked out the window to find todays strong winds have blown tiles clean off my roof onto my beloved trophy, landed square on the bonet denting it and smashed my wing and headlight. Spent the past 4 years doing everything I could to keep it...

A mate of mine here (a garage owner) just asked me to see if I could find him a cheaper price in blighty for a 2009 Honda Civic diesel particle filter........5000 (yes three zeros) euros!!! The best I could find was 4100 quid :eek: Never was an oil burner fan but this convinces me it's never...

Hi everyone, Sorry to say my period of Trophy ownership has come to an end, as someone at the more senior end of the age spectrum I decided to get something more fitting to my pipe and slippers image - Saab 9-3 Aero, full power turbo, full leather interior, full service history etc. etc...
