gear

(finally) Picked up No250 today and drove it home the long way from Essex to Surrey, avoided the M25 as much as possible, and then spent the whole night grinning, much to the wifes concern. Keep looking out the window wandering when I can next go for a long drive......to think I nearly bought a...

Does anyone know the paint code for our Trophies? As I looking to order some paint from here http://www.paints4u.com/

From crisshark on Renaultsport: Discuss please. :lol:

Evo descrivbe the Trophy as 'the most fun you can have on 3 wheels' but my question is how do you get it on 3 wheels? Is it something that you should be able to do everyday or do you have to really push the car so much that you're very unlikely to achieve it safely on the road? Can you...

I don't really like the standard one & have an alloy one in the garage. It's 6 speed though! Would it look 'chav'????????

Just type in your command and away you go - hours of fun at work! :wink: http://a.oneofthelads.com/carwash.php Post your best commands, and later I'll post some of the better ones we found at work today...

when are these cars supposed to be out?? I saw a black one this morning whilst walking into work. It had either a demo plate or a foreign plate on it, couldn't really tell. Looked nice, fairly aggressive but a bit too futuristic for my liking...very Astra VXR sort of look to it. Had 2 huge...

Got a call as i was putting the car in the carport last night and left it in gear with predictable results when i started it this morning. fairly certain it's just superficial but the bumper is cracked. Anyone know of any decent reno dealers in the Oxford/Reading area? :( Edit; sorry meant...

Does anyone know of a good video camera and a device to mount it in a car, sort of Top Gear style. I'm thinking of making my own road trip but video taping the journey from the passenger side. Has anyone done this before, if so can you give me some help and pointers???

Just read the posts and there old. Doh!!!!!

hi im looking at getting rid of my plastic gear knob and handbreak casing on my trophy, any ideas how they are removed?

Just a little reminder to you all that as of the 27th Feb '07 if your seen using your mobile; whilst driving, supervising a learner driver or deemed not in position to have proper control, you will find yourself with £60 fine and 3 points!!!! :evil:

Going down hill on this side road, following this car which is maybe 10+metres infront of me in 2nd gear doing maybe 10mph. No cars coming either way and he decides hes going to slam on his breaks so he can look at this house on the left. Hes in the middle of the road with no indication. i...

Going to get my car 4 wheel aligned next week, after i have fitted a new set of exaltos. This is to try and eradicate the twitchy, 'searching' feeling i'm getting under hard acceleration and braking. Can anyone help me with the following: 1, What is exactly adjustable on the trophy? Front /...

Just wondered if any of you had read this yet?! An interesting little read! http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evolong ... o_197.html

It's a feature of the Trophy that's often forgotten, correct me if I'm wrong but it is unique to the Trophy right? Or was it an optional extra on the late FF 182's? Anyway, does anyone still use theirs? I used to use it a lot when I first got the car to keep my license but I don't think I've...

The sole reason i don't mind my T.V licence going up this year. Seems like ages since its been on. I've caught a few on UK Gold, but nothing better than a fresh new series. 5th gear doesn't seem to do it for me anymore, whether its the lovejoy chap or the new format i'm not sure...

.... just spoke to the local steeler to find out why it's taken them 3 days to investate why the passenger seat wont move since they replaced the runners to find that hey've got a new catalytic converter on order ????? I'd mentioned that the engine mounts may need lookin at as at high revs I...

Hi all ive got a trophy with a sticking throttle when you floor the throttle in say 2nd or 3rd, when you press the clutch down to change gear the engine just revs up like its out of gear, like someone has just floored the throttle and it just revs up to the limiter and sits bouncing of it...

my trophy has started to sort of jerk wen i put my foot down but its not like a wrong gear its more of a stop start jerk like its not fireing properly. A orange light keeps on flashing at me sometimes when this happens. its the exhaust gas monitor light or something? been told it could be water...

The BBC has released new pictures of the high-speed crash that almost killed Top Gear host Richard Hammond. The BBC plans to air footage of the crash in full as part of Top Gear on January 28.

A very good (enter time of day here) to you all :) Just a bit of a strange question... has anyone here drive or been in a Lotus Exige? How was it? Interested in views from either S1 or S2... Supercharged experiences deserve bonus points!!!! :lol: O.

My brother is a designer in the car industry with a fairly good CV (Ford, Ford's, Hyundai's and Suzuki's rally team), who's now working for Quaife (who make limited slip diffs and gearboxes etc. in case you don't know the name). Perusing his product catalogue which he brought down over xmas I...

Hi, i want to remove my gearknob from my trophy to fit an aftermarket metal one. How do you get the gearknob of the car without damaging it ive tried to twist it but it seems rock solid, is there a trick to it as i dont want to damage the Standard knob as i want to replace it back in the car...

Hey guys! After a really easy and pleasant sale with Dallas (duffer) I am now the proud new owner of #154, woohooo! (Cheers Dallas - top guy!) Thanks to everyone for their help with pointing out cars that were for sale and for giving me assistance with things to look at. :) Trophy...

I have been thinking about chucking the trophy in for something more fun, getting a bit bored. Im mainly looking at the bargain monaro vxr's that have just come on the market maybe even a 500 version but im a bit worried i may wish i hadnt bothered. Want something with a bit more grunt and a...

Anyone any idea how the gearknob comes off, does it simply unscrew? Ive never really liked the clios plastic gearknob and fancy swapping it for a nice leather momo one or something similar. With it being a lift up reverse the choice of suitable gearknobs is a bit limited - anyone changed theirs?
