gear

My car is now back from Ben, who fitted cams, modifed inlet and a re-map. His only concern was that as the car has only done 4,000 miles, all on the ex-factory full synhthetic oil, that the rings may still not be fully bedded in - wants me to use ordinary mineral for a while - and so installed a...

After 4 months of ownership my hair nearly all pulled out and my blood pressure sky high - I finally decided to make the change - and quite fitting that when I had fitted it the heavens opened! What a difference, can't believe I hadnt done it sooner! A recommended modification :)

A while ago, an empty stretch of road presented itself to me, so I thought I'd see how fast the Trophy would go. Now, it wasn't the longest stretch of road ever so I couldn't keep my foot planted forever, but it was long enough. It's not very quick over 100mph, but as it clicked past 125mph it...

Right I have a spare set of dash inserts and trying to get hold of a spare gear knob insert and the steering insert. Was just wondering what you lot thought about this.

Has any got any dash/steering wheel/gear knob inserts for sale?

Sorry chaps it is not dodgy or girlie, but closer to home www.rri.se click on performance graphs

OK, so maybe I took advantage of my position at BMW, but it sure as hell takes the pain away whilst my baby is being fettled. Not sure if i will notice the power upgrades after 2 weeks with this though.... mind you I should be getting more than 11mpg....:lol:

As the subject says, After worrying about the Clio and not wanting to leave it anywhere in fear or dents, scratches etc. im looking to buy a shitter. Anyone got some good examples? I want something with a boot (estate) so i can fit mountain bikes in also something thats reliable thats not so...

To use 100% full throttle, do you have to press the horrible button thing at the end of the pedal's travel down, or will resting the throttle against it suffice for maximum accelerative force? I can't work out if there's a difference with it pressed or not...

I found it hard getting the info about removing the OE gear knob so thought I would post up my method on here for those who don't fancy getting the hacksaw out. 1. Pop the silver insert out with a flat bladed screwdriver, to avoid damage. 2. Heat the bastard up with a hairdryer until it is...

Have tried searching but not found anything. Has anyone gone to a DC5 from a Trophy? Or vice versa from a DC5 to a Trophy? Am thinking about what i'm going to get next(soon)and i love the DC5 Integra and i want a WHITE car!!!! Have even been thinking about getting the Trophy "Wrapped" in...

F*ck me, WHAT an engine! :shock: And gearbox for that matter. It's more torquey than Type-R lumps of old and still has the same mental top end. The gearbox is so much better than a Clio's and the razor sharp throttle response / lack of engine inertia means heel 'n toe changes are...

What do you use yours for :D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=009

Having being trying to sell my Trophy for a couple of weeks now I have not had a single call. I can only put it down to these reasons: 1) It is overpriced. (seems about the right price compared to others) 2) There are too many others currently for sale (only found about 3 others nationally)...

Well, the time has come to part with my car. I am going to sell all of the items separately and then sell the car in 'stock' form at a low price. I would like to sell the car in the first week of June which is when my insurance expires. As such I am looking to have all parts available in...

Right well i havnt even bought a clio trophy but judging from the reviews on the morego 202, i plan to do this mod to my Trophy. Opinions please as i know it is a limited edition model. Would it affect resale in a bad way? Also does it need mroe power? Thanks Greg

Looking into possibly setting up an exhaust group buy and i've already spoken with a retailer who will try and help us out with regards to discounts. Basically the idea is in its infancy and first we would have to establish how many people are definitely interested and what products they would...

I was very excited to read about the new Japanese Civic type R. Apart from a boring 4 door saloon body, the prospect of 225 PS, 8,400 rev limit, reasonable torque, Brembo 4 pot callipers, 18" lightweight rims, gear type LSD, proper independent rear suspension etc was very tempting. Still not a...

I know it was fifth gear but i have to get my fix somehow. Anyway just a sublime looking car but they quoted some bizarre performance figures (very slow) anyone else think it was odd/know any different.

Is it just me or does anyone else get treated like a total tw*t whilst driving their trophy? On numerous occasions i have been driving the trophy well within the speed limit and have been abused by pedestrians, to whom it must appear i'm travelling much faster than i actually am. It happened...

Got the car on Saturday - filled her on empty to full on Optimax (£44!!) Ive done nearly 200 miles and its nearly on empty :'( £44 in my old golf diesel woulda got me just over 400 miles!!!

I've never suffered from the infamous 182 top mount knock, but a couple of days ago my Trophy started making a knocking noise when maneuvering at slow speeds. I assumed this was the knock, and thought nothing of it, but it has been getting progressively worse since then. The knock was then...

Hi guys/gals Looking at getting myself a group N ecu fitted as i have just got a milltek + performance filter want to get the Group N to bring it all together to get a nice little gain will also have the inlet matched too in time. Just wanted to see if anyone can shed some light and tell...

Hi after a Trophy gear knob in excellent condition as mine is worn! Will pay cash! Send email if interested or if you know where to get from? Onto local renault dealer but knowing them it could be 2010 before they find one.

This morning halfway through a journey a light came on, on the dash. It's the light above the green change gear now light. It's orange but i have no idea what the shape is supposed to mean. Bugger all I can do about it now, as i'm off to Amsterdam in 2 hours but it's worrying me.

It was found out that some genius at Renault decided to make 182 exhausts all one-piece rather than 3 which it should be. Seeing as the exhaust goes over the rear beam this meant that the cat and centre section were taken down, but the whole exhaust being connected did not come out because we...

Hi Guys I'm going down to France later this year, so I thought I'd ask Orbisoud how much one of their exhausts costs to collect from the factory gates. This is their reply; hello, price line complete racing : 1006 euros ht. soft : 1087 euros ht. best...
