hi, its a 51 plate clio 1.4 privilege. When ideling it seems to 'judder' and has very low revs. The gear stick also seems to vibrate abnormally. The car seems slower than normal ( if possible )lol, and now the engine shaped light is on full time. Its been fine an developed this after not being...

When accelerating hard above 5k revs in third or fourth there's a really bad vibration from the whole front end of the car.:( The vibration is not present when out of gear. Anyone had this before? I'm guessing the driveshaft are kaput? feck.

Well few weeks back decided to sell me old 197 to free up some cash an buy myself another cheaper but still fun car. The main reason is due to me moving out with the missus but I still wanted something nippy an after hours of browsing various classifieds I settled on a ph2 sport as it ticked...

Anyone know the gear ratios of the 172 v 182? Are they different?

Hi guys. My gear gaiter fell off some time ago and I've been meaning to find something different to the standard one, so i'm wondering if there're any alcantara ones kicking around, or is it a case of buying a standard one and giving it to an interior trimmer? To add to that, does anyone know...

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...

So its been a while since I’ve posted anything, and seeing as me and a mate of mine had enough energy to clean our cars yesterday I thought I’d do a little update with some pictures of the recent additions to #333. Although I won’t bore you with millions of pictures of my Trophy all clean, as...

I hope my boss isn't a visitor to this site because today I was working from "home"... Home was in fact ProSpeed in Cardiff. Turned up first thing this morning for a cat-back 2.5in system with 2.5in cat mod and slash-cut 3.5in exits. Charlie and the guys did a great job, I was on the road by...

i have a 2005 clio 182 45k on it and ive just put scorpion full stainless inc de cat on it and through the gears in isnt that pokey until it gets up ova 80mph then its fine anyone else have same prob thanks

Drove my friends quite now heavily modified 172 which has buckets and sabelt wheel and harnesses - makes me think I want to do the same as I hate the driving position of the trophy. I was thinking of some mildly aggressive seats like the sabelt titans which are in the r26r. What's other people done

Hello, trophy 388 having gear box trouble.Not good !!! Second gear will not engage at all. Has anyone had this problem before ?? Any ideas on what the problem might be?? Any input would be a big help thanks.

Is this normal ?? When driving (more noticeable in 5th gear going down motorway) if i come off the throttle the T makes a quiet hissing type noise from I think is coming from engine bay. If I then go back onto the throttle noise disappears !! What is it ??

Unfortunately the time has come to sell # 167 due to imminent arrival of a little one. We're going to be carrying around more gear than the Trophy can accommodate and need a car that I'm less precious about. It will be a real shame to see her go but is a great opportunity for someone to buy into...

In two minds whether to do this or not but i just dont use the car at all and my house renovation has to take priority over racing at the moment. Only been out once this year at Oulton for a test/track day and last raced last year. It was previously owned and run by Alex Schooledge of Outpace...
